My mother always clean and tidy.
Room kept tidy.
Food/meals good.
I am happy here. If I wasn't happy I wouldn't be here.
I have played in a number of similar establishments and was very impressed with the atmosphere and the level of care and well-being that I saw during my visit.
I am not an expert in care homes but it was good enough to make me reflect that this appears to be an outstanding example.
Congratulations to all concerned.
I feel so lucky living here. Really enjoy trips out.
Staff are brilliant, very engaging with residents, very caring. Home spotless and facilities and modern and ran. would be happy to place family members in this home
My cousin is extremely well looked after here. Having an ensuite gives my cousin the extra comfort she needs.
I am very happy with the home and I get on very well with the staff and residents. I like my room very much and can see exactly what is going on around me. The food is good, cleanliness is very good. I feel cared for by the staff and I enjoy the trips out on the minibus. There is also entertainment and activities on offer.
Very caring and clean.
Good food, staff are good. It's lovely.
Thank you mostly to the staff from the top to the lovely cleaners, laundry girls and chefs.
My father was in Beaconsfield Court for a short time. We found the place very clean and the staff extremely helpful and professional.
My friend is very well cared for and she loves all the staff.
Home and services good, care for me excellent. Wonderful cook, marvellous salads.
Lovely friendly staff that treat all residents with respect and care for them like family.
My father was in Beaconsfield Court from late Jan/early Feb to 25th May 2017. He passed away on 25th May 2017. His care was excellent. The staff were efficient and very competent but most importantly they were very caring and made father feel very welcome and at home. As a family, we were very happy knowing that father was being well cared for. The team were also always available to talk face to face or over the phone. Finally, father's final days and hours were very dignified and the family felt very well cared for. We would recommend the home to anyone who asked our opinion. Well done and thank you.
I visit my friend on a regular basis and every time I visit the home is clean and the staff are lovely. I always have a coffee from the new coffee shop which is a very welcome addition. Beautiful home.
What a lovely friendly home. The care my relative got was excellent. Beautiful home. Very caring staff during a very difficult period of our lives. I cannot thank them enough.
Enjoy visiting my friend here as made to feel very welcome, friendly home. Refurbishment is really nice. Staff very friendly. Coffee shop very welcoming.
