Overall, I'm happy with the care that is taken of my wife. Staff are lovely, professional and the cleanness is great. I feel a great relief in the knowledge that my loved one is being given care at a high standard and treated with dignity.

I was really pleased to get my mum into this care home as the first impressions were lovely. Mum was in there for 17 months and I was very pleased with all aspects of the home. Mum was well looked after. The choice of food was amazing as was the food itself. Every time I saw mum she was always spotlessly clean. Over the last 12 months when the home had been closed to visitors I was always well informed as to what was happening with her. The staff from the cleaners to the management were first class. There is nothing that I can fault. The staff were so caring, my mother at times was not the easiest of people to deal with but they never complained. Mum was always treated with dignity. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The entertainment was first class although this had changed over the last 12 months, Covid fault, not the home. I would recommend this home to anyone.
The care that my nan receives at Picton Court is absolutely excellent. All of the staff and care team can't do enough to look after her.

Mum is safe in the care home and gets on with all of the staff and residents. There are activities most days and there is a very friendly atmosphere.

I feel all staff do everything they can to make my mother comfortable under sometimes difficult circumstances. Marked the room as such only because a shower would have been great (falls perhaps and extra cleaning) and the food cooked on a large scale, sometimes appears a bit "tired". The manager always listens and helpful to requests.
From the first visit, we were impressed with the lovely rooms (kept clean and hygienic) and homely atmosphere. We have made friends with staff and clients alike. One of the family visit daily and are always made welcome. Food is excellent - choice given at every meal. Social activities are second...
Mum is safe, happy, well looked after and involved in activities. Grateful to Picton Court.
My mother moved in on the 20th May and so far the managed care and all the staff have been so helpful. The home is clean and friendly. I live 200 miles away but I'm confident that my mother will be well looked after.

I feel the kitchen staff always make sure they use her special milk and will also offer to make her items with her milk like pancakes.
The place is kept clean and tidy and they make sure to ask or show you worn or damaged clothes so you can decide to fix them or recycle.
They always ask after me and always include my family on special occasions (ie Mother's Day, Easter).

Picton Court is a wonderful care home. The staff cared for my mother so well and myself and family were made to feel at home. During my mother's stay and illness, they were very supportive of myself and my family although they are very busy always had time to talk and comfort us.

My mother had the greatest of care and was treated with dignity at all times. She was encouraged to engage and participate and improved greatly during her time at Picton Court. Unfortunately, she was taken too soon.

All the staff at Picton Court ensured that the respite care for the service user was enjoyable. From the initial telephone call to when the stay commenced was just three days. The staff enabled the service user to re-gain his strength and independence and encouraged him to socialise during his stay. Highly recommended.
This review is based on twice-weekly visits to my 92-year-old female cousin, who is physically frail but mentally alert and at times, strong willed! It covers a period of 3 years plus. Throughout this time and without exception, I have found Picton Courts care staff to be patient, considerate and...
Meals are wholesome and varied and there is a good range of social activities for residents. Private rooms and communal spaces are clean and airy.
At any meetings with Picton Courts managers, I have found them to be helpful and sensible in offering practical solutions to any problem encountered, with an impressive focus on the best interests of their residents.
Overall, it has been a pleasure, not a duty, to visit.
If my wife did not have the care and support I don't think she would still be here now! I can't thank the staff they are great as their jobs looking after my wife.
Thank you again

Nothing was too much trouble for them and they encouraged feedback and welcomed family involvement also.
