My mother has been a resident at this care home for over two years. Sadly, she passed away this morning. She has always been cared for wonderfully during her time in the home. I've always been kept informed of her condition, any issues discussed with the family, however, during the past week, the staff, without exception, have been outstanding. Their dedication and compassion, both to her and myself, have been overwhelming at this sad time.

My family and I would like to thank all the staff at Chester Court for looking after my sister. They have done a brilliant job of caring for her, and she was the happiest we have seen her. The manager and her staff are amazing and very welcoming we would recommend this care home to anyone for its caring service. It is a home-from-home. Sadly we lost her on 25th Feb 2024. Thank you everyone at Chester Court for their compassion and support.

Since my mother came to Chester Court Care Home in early February 2023 she has settled into what she now calls home! This is due to the warm welcoming feeling in Chester Court and the caring and friendly staff, who have a smile and kind words for residents and visitors alike.

I am so pleased that I can get in at any time to see my wife, the staff are always welcoming. There are times when my wife wants to come home with me. I sometimes have pudding but always have fish and chips on Friday.

My wife is very happy and contented every time I visit and I put this down to the good care she receives in the home. The staff could not be any more caring and attentive. Any questions or concerns I have are always seen straight away, although I am always kept up to date on all aspects of my wife's care.

When you come into the grounds it makes a good impression and this continues on entering the building. The staff are so friendly and helpful and Mum is treated and looked after as I hoped she would be. The cleanliness and food are excellent and the nurses are always on hand if any questions need answering. The manager always has a smile and a word and is very approachable. I would recommend Chester Court to anyone looking for a care home.

She took a turn for the worst a week ago and was no longer responsive. We expected her to pass that night but she lived 6 further days. Those days were pure hell for us, she was incontinent but all staff cleaned her immediately, turning her often and coming in often to care for her and us. I spent the last week with her, and my sister, taking turns sitting with her. On the night of her death, I was alone with her but the staff took so much time with me, making sure I was OK. 3 am I knew she was going to pass soon. I held her hand and she passed 3.20 am. One member of staff, in particular, was absolutely amazing. So much empathy and care, letting me stay with her, telling me what happens next. You helped me so much and I will be eternally grateful. Thank you.
Thank you for your very kind review and again our sincerest condolences for your loss. Your mum was only with us here at Chester Court for a short time but she will be missed by all. We value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. Thank you also for your positive...
My father has been with the home for some time. He has rapidly deteriorating health. The staff at Chester Court have been exceptional in their care of him and of our family. He is treated with dignity and kindness, even though he can be challenging at times. We are so grateful to them all.

I must say a big thank you to all the team.
Kind regards
Our family have experienced the care home and staff since September 2021. My uncle has been settled since the outset and made to feel that it was a "home from home". As his needs increased, this was dealt with both professionally and with care. His end-of-life care has been exemplary, and I have not needed to worry that he would be looked after with care and compassion. Many thanks to "all" the staff for the parts they play.

Hi, my name is Laura, and I am the General Manager.
Thank you for taking the time to look further into what we have to offer to you or your loved one. Here is an opportunity to look at some of our staff team in the home, who all play a vital role in day-to-day life.
I am a qualified nurse and have over 20 years of experience in the care sector, starting as a care assistant.
I bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the home. I am very passionate about enhancing resident experiences and ensuring that our residents are at the centre of everything we do.
I work with a long-standing supportive team who aim to achieve the best for the home. I look forward to welcoming you to our home.

Hi, my name is Memory Gatsi, and I am the Deputy Manager at Chester Court Care Home. I qualified as a Nurse in 2006, and I started with Barchester in 2021 as a Nurse. I was then promoted to Deputy Manager in August 2023. I enjoy working as a nurse, and I enjoy spending time with residents and ensuring that their needs are met in a safe and timely manner. I work hard to provide high-standard care and to support residents to maintain their independence as much as possible for as long as they can.

Hi, my name is Lauren, and I am the Activities Coordinator here at Chester Court. I joined the team in December 2020 and bring a wealth of enthusiasm to the role. I graduated from university in July 2020 and have previously completed work experience at another Barchester home. During this work experience, I discovered how meaningful and important activities are for residents and how they can help enhance residents’ lives. Therefore, I decided to become an activities coordinator myself as I feel this is such a rewarding role.
I love working with our Residents here at the home and getting to know them and their families so that I can deliver and support in meaningful activities, keeping them socially stimulated and active as part of our extensive life enrichment calendar. The lifestyle and continued community links are also important.

I am the Head Chef at Chester Court Care Home and have worked at the home since 2000. I lead the home's hospitality team, and we work together in creating and developing seasonal home-cooked menus that are nutritious and varied. I ensure that we know each resident and their preferences, keeping them satisfied with a diverse and delicious range of meals. All of our food is home-cooked with fresh ingredients. I love my job.

I have worked at Chester Court since 2011 and have loved every minute. I spent 15 years in the building trade before coming to Chester Court Care Home, so I have a wide range of skills that are always being used.
My job is to keep the home and grounds looking their best, making sure each room is as individual as the residents themselves.

My name is Susan Dunn, and I am the Head Housekeeper here at Chester Court. I have been in this role since August 2023. Before moving to Chester Court, I worked as a housekeeper in care homes since 2017.
I have always worked in cleaning, but I enjoy working in care homes more than previous jobs. I love chatting to the residents and also keeping their homes clean and tidy. My main priority is making sure the resident's home is as clean as I like my home.
