Defoe Court Care Home

I cannot praise the staff highly enough for the care they have given her and the management for keeping me informed and answering any questions I ask. To sum up; a first-class service from a first-class team.

My mum has Huntington's disease and the manager and her team are phenomenal in how they provide for her, they have gone above and beyond and exceeding all our eyes. They are the best care home team I have ever seen and I've seen a lot, to truly care. They are kind, professional to the core and consider everyone's needs including mine, they have become my family, and I'm missing them so much. Thank you for all the Facetime calls and updates. You really are the best.

The Home have been nothing short of wonderful with regards to looking after my Father-in-law during this difficult time.

I would highly recommend Defoe Court.

In the short time mum was at Defoe Court, she was treated with dignity and respect. She was given the best of residential care along with an excellent care package from the nursing staff. Everyone who has visited mum was keen to point out how friendly and approachable the staff were and how homely the place felt. I appreciate the care given by all staff but must thank the nursing team for not only looking after mum but caring for the whole family. 5 stars all round.

Defoe Court is just like home from home even for visitors. The manageress and all the staff are fantastic, we, unfortunately, lost both parents this last year and the care and support we received was excellent. The range of activities is amazing and we are always made to feel welcome.

On the 6th January, we were told our dad was nearing the end of his life. This was a devastating moment but the staff were very supportive and caring. They ensured dad was comfortable through his last few days until he passed away on 8th January aged 91 years. Nothing was too much for them, they kept us informed and they looked after us too. When he dies they comforted us and every one of them went to say goodbye to him. That showed us how much they thought of dad. They are an extremely amazing team. Each of them is dedicated to their job and the residents. We thank them all.

My mam has been in Defoe Court Care Home for 3 years now and have found the care she gets excellent. The staff are all lovely and nothing is too much trouble for them. There is always plenty of activities organised for the residents ranging down from singers to making things with the nursery children and trips out which my mam really enjoys.

I highly recommend Defoe Court and cannot thank the team enough.

The home itself is well equipped with great facilities for residents and is kept to a high standard of cleanliness. Thank you!

There are no words to explain the excellent time you will have spending time here. The staff, carers, nurses, nurses assistants, cleaners and management can't do enough to please you, never complaining and always ready to assist wherever possible. Your stay with them will be pleasurable and I would have not hesitation to recommend to friends, family or anybody who requires a place in a care home.

No complaints whatsoever over staff, help, food, facilities and atmosphere. Very friendly and professional. My dad was comfortable and settled within hours of arrival. Nothing is a chore or an inconvenience for staff. Thank you.

I am very impressed with the level of care and the brilliant team who work here. From the bottom to the top, teamwork! I have nothing but praise for everyone here and would like to thank everyone for the way they have cared for my mam. Also the peace of mind I have had all the time my mam has been here. Thank you.

My father was with Defoe Court until his death in July 2019 for a number of years. Suffering from an awful, debilitating illness he struggled to come to terms with his lack of independence. The staff, at the care home, did all they could to maintain as much of his independence as was possible, without putting him at risk. They welcomed his wife, who visited every day, to be with him and behave as if he were in his own home. They knew his moods, his likes/dislikes and they made him so comfortable. Living so far away (Australia) the major comfort (apart from his wife visiting every day) was knowing he was loved and the staff were doing all they could to support him. During the last few days, the staff came in on their day off to see him to say their goodbyes. They did not have to do this and it just demonstrated that they had gained from their relationship with him too. He was not a number, he was not a resident, he was part of the Defoe family. I cannot thank you enough.

Thank you.

Whilst my nan has been in Defoe's care, the staff have been absolutely amazing. They're so compassionate and can't do enough to help. I know they've kept her as comfortable as possible and eased her transition whilst also ensuring family and friends have the support they need.

I recommend this care home fro any loved one who needs that extra special care.

I can not thank the staff enough for their care with a really good friend of mine, she wasn't in the home long but the staff looked after her as if she was a family member. Their thoughtfulness and respect they showed until the end was unbelievable. Thank you so much.

Visited Defoe Court with my mother whilst looking for a 24-hour care placement for my grandmother following a Stroke. From day one the staff went over and above their duty to care to make sure the transition from hospital to the home was as smooth as possible. Warm, welcoming staff at all hours of the day, always going the extra mile to make sure our grandmother is taken care of empathetically and holistically. Nothing is ever to much trouble and the care and attention our grandmother receives is exceptional. The ‘cafe’ for visitors and residents is a fantastic facility, there’s always activities to engage with the residents if they want to participate, like harvest festivals to school children visiting! Staff are always respectful and promote independence, ensuring emotional, physical and spiritual needs are met for my grandmother. Huge thank you from our family to the amazing staff.

They are very careing, attentive, friendly, approachable and helpful. They show a knowledge of their clients and make family and friends welcome including friendly pets. From a personal angle, my wife and I have found visiting my parent a more pleasant experience by the approach of staff towards my parent and us.
