The staff are excellent with my mum and the other residents within the care home. The interaction with them and the residents are excellent and the updates we receive through the messaging group keep me and my family up to date with what's happening is really welcomed.
Thank you for your kind review. We always hope to make everyone feel welcome and at home when they visit us.
Excellent care and service under what can be sometimes very challenging behaviour! Staff are always very patient and understanding of the residents varying needs and are stimulating and encourage interaction. We are very happy with Abbey Court and praise all involved.
My gran has been a resident in Abbey Court care home for over a year now and I cannot recommend the home enough, from the care staff to kitchen staff, cleaners and the management each and every one of them is all excellent and all go above and beyond for all the residents in the home and visitors doing all that they can. The care and empathy that each and every staff member shows towards all the residents is utterly heartwarming and makes myself and my family feel so much more at ease with my gran being in the home in the lovely environment that it is. Overall Abbey Court is a brilliantly ran home and I couldn’t be any happier when attending visits seeing how well my gran is being looked after.
So thankful that I found this home for mum, nothing is a bother for the staff, always accomodating and can always meet mum's needs, all staff are very approachable. They have handled covid perfectly and I recently told this to an inspector when he was in.
My dad was very ill in early February. The doctor attended and advised for an ambulance or to treat dad in Abbey Court. The family spoke about it with staff as no way did we want dad in a hospital. They were fantastic allowing us to keep dad where he was most comfortable and the level of care was amazing to dad and all the family. I could name too many of the girls that gave dad dignity. Attention. Time and love. We are forever grateful. I would be happy to talk to any of the care commission should they wish to do so.
Abbey Courts' quality and standard of care from all staff at all levels is excellent. They always go above and beyond to ensure residents and families are happy. It’s always a very stressful time placing a loved one in a care setting but I had a very good feeling about Abbey Court on my first visit and still do to this day. They made me feel at ease knowing my relative would be well cared for and this level of care is consistent.
The care home is immaculate warm and friendly. Visiting times accommodate everyone. The care they give is just excellent. There is always staff around to help in any way. All-round great friendly comfortable place to visit.
Staff are fantastic, really helped my uncle come out of his shell. He's comfortable talking to them about his needs. There's always something he likes on the menu as they have plenty to choose from, the home is always immaculate and nothing is too much for them, they always go the extra mile. Can't rate them high enough.
Abbey Court has fantastic management. Staff are so professional so much knowledge within the care sector. High standards are practical and highly noticed throughout the home. Residents within Abbey Court are treated with respect and dignity. Families of the residents are all very well informed of anything trivial or of the highest importance. My parent has never been happier since she went into the care home.
This place is outstanding staff are very pleasant and welcoming. The rooms are very clean and tidy, never had a problem. Management are always there to help. Would like to say a big thank you to all the staff and management. Keep up the good work.
Can’t fault the staff or treatment given to my mum. In fact, they should all be on the queen's honours list for how they handled the pandemic. I am always thankful for finding Abbey Court. They treat my mum as if she were their relative too.
Was worried about him going into Abbey Court but I had nothing to worry about, lovely staff put me at ease. Staff so caring and lovely place is so clean and he tells me he loves being there. It's home to him now.
I was extremely worried about how my dad would settle going into Abbey Court last year. I really had nothing to worry about. All staff have been absolutely amazing with him and shown him so much care and attention. He is well looked after constantly and I can't thank the staff enough. They have all done an amazing job through such difficult times.
A friend of mine is a resident here and as far as I can see, the care is exemplary. The staff are caring and skilled and seem very empathetic when dealing with the people in their care. The facilities are also top-notch. Big thanks to the management for operating such a well-run place.
I had only previously heard the negative press about nursing homes over the past 2 years, however, my opinion of them was changed by 180 degrees after visiting Abbey Court. The press would have you believe that they were in Victorian times, however, this care home was like a modern hotel with its facilities. The staff were very attentive to the needs of the residents, who seemed very happy to be there.
Exceptionally clean and tidy and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful at all times. This is the third home I’ve had experience with and the overall service is head and shoulders above the other two, especially with regard to cleanliness, health and safety, and treatment of residents.
Good carehome which looks after the residents, attentive to there needs and very cooperative with family members. Good activities and entertainment prior to covid. Looked after residents really well during difficult times
My Mum is well looked after and pre-Covid family members and friends were made welcome too. The home has done extremely well for the last year during the Covid pandemic to keep residents as safe as possible whilst trying to keep as much contact with family members.
I cannot fault anything about Abbey Court or the level of care given to residents. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always some form of entertainment or activity taking place. Families have been kept well informed especially during this pandemic of how our loved ones are and special initiatives have been put in place to allow as much contact as possible.
The food is also fantastic, and everything is very civilised, there are even pets for a truly homely feel. People retain their dignity and sense of humour here.
Thank you Abbey Court.
