Cavell Court

From my first contact with the Cavell Court Care Home staff, which happened during the latter part of May 2023, I have been impressed by their friendliness and concern for the residents receiving their care. My very elderly uncle, who has mixed dementia, was discharged from hospital to Cavell Court. He has settled in well and has thrived since being a resident. He praises the food. It is good to know he is eating three meals a day now. It appears he has even put on some weight which is good for him. As far as I can tell, he is enjoying interacting with the carers and some of the other residents. He has even participated in some of the seated, gentle yoga sessions which was great to hear. Hopefully, he will be able to remain a resident of Cavell Court where he is well looked after by the care teams. They cannot be thanked enough.

Mum moved to Cavell Court Care Home in April 2023 and with the kind support and encouragement of all the staff has now settled into her new home. We can't praise the staff enough in the way they care and support Mum. A big thank you to all.

I cannot speak too highly of the care staff at Cavell Court Care Home. Both day and night staff have shown such love and care to my husband and he has made a remarkable improvement in health during his stay. I feel the carers are my friends! Thank you Cavell Court.

My dad, who has Parkinson's, dementia, went to Cavell Court Care Home after an unexpected and immediate need for respite care. One member of staff at Cavell Court was far more efficient in calling me back and answering my questions than any other similar care home. We managed to view a room the same day and the process of arranging respite care was straightforward and only took three days. Due to circumstances beyond our control, my dad is now staying as a permanent resident at Cavell Court. He has settled in well which makes visiting and leaving him that little bit easier for me and my mum. His room is clean and spacious with a nice en-suite. Being purpose-built, the corridors are wide and make it easier for him to be mobile. The food menu is varied and all the staff I have met have been helpful and friendly. There is a pleasant garden and the reception area has a 'cafe style' area with a coffee machine and cakes where you can meet your loved one if you don't want to go to their room.

Meals have declined and are later and later each day.

Our confidence was total.

My father passed away on 01/01/2023 with me and my daughter holding his hand after he had spent the last fifteen months being cared for by the most amazing carers. Everyone I came into contact with was kind and welcoming, nothing was ever too much trouble. He was shown kindness, dignity, laughter and love. His room was always clean, meals varied and well planned and there were plenty of snacks for him to help himself to. From the minute I walked into reception I was welcomed. The young carers to the more experienced ones blew me away with their compassion. I want to thank each and every one of you who cared for him in whatever way. You always went that extra mile. I will miss him and I will truly miss seeing you all on my visits. Thank you from myself and family.

My father seems very settled at Cavell Court Care Home. Thank you for looking after him so well.

Cavell Court Care Home has been an amazing home for Dad, he has advanced Alzheimer's and can be difficult but the staff have been very caring and considerate towards his needs so much so that he never wants to come back home. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly.

My husband has not been in Cavell Court Care Home for long but we, as a family, are so happy that he is able to stay permanently following extended respite. I am relieved as it is the best care home he has ever stayed in. The staff seem to really care about their residents with good humour and are very observant in respect of spotting a brewing illness. They will also update me promptly and welcome as many calls as I like if I have any concerns. They are friendly and actually listen to me and any suggestions I may have in respect of his care. Most importantly, my husband is happy and settled and does not ask to come home with me when I leave. If my husband is well cared for and happy then I am very happy.

Mum was reluctant to try a care home but has settled into Cavell Court Care Home well thanks to the warm welcome from the staff and other residents. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff even when under an enormous amount of pressure. We are always warmly greeted and also made to feel welcome.

As a family, we cannot rate Cavell Court and the team high enough. My mum needed urgent respite care after 3 weeks in hospital. We were very hesitant as though she should be with us at home. However, the staff made this decision and transition so easy for us and mum. Since being at Cavell Court mum has improved significantly both engaging with the wonderful staff and much improved mobility and mum looks so much healthier and happier. The staff are caring and loving. Thank you to all the team at Cavell Court, keep doing what you do as it’s so important our loved ones receive the best of care in a relaxed, safe and homely environment which you do. Thank you

Very nice home, relaxed feel and helpful staff. Very clean and well organised with nice outdoor spaces. Good communication with regards to admission and discharge. Additional cost for haircut and chiropodist unavailable during our two-week stay. Other residents appeared to be happy and had plenty of opportunities to socialise. Ground floor rooms are particularly nice on the courtyard side.

And I do look forward to my next visit if circumstances so arise.

My dear husband has had Alzheimer's for five years now and after being discharged from hospital after a four-week stay he was transferred to Cavell Court Care Home. This situation has been heartbreaking as he and I do not have close family and the separation has been so very painful. He has been at Cavell Court now for six weeks and I cannot commend the staff more, although they are all under tremendous pressure they have taken real good care of me too. His care is outstanding, nothing is too much trouble even down to him having his favourite glass of whisky each evening. He seems so calm and happy there and has settled well I know because of the care and attention you are giving him. A placement for him closer to home is being looked for but I cannot imagine him finding a better place than Cavell Court. If we are not successful I would be happy to try and secure his long term care with you as I know he is safe and secure. Thank you.

Once placed and settled in the home, every visit demonstrates the warmth and empathy all staff provide to what they consider their residents. We are so grateful to have our loved one cared for by them.

My wife is very happy in the Cavill Court Care Home.

My mother was discharged from hospital and placed in Cavell Court for 6 weeks. Whilst in their care she received fantastic care and has been well cared for. The staff are friendly and professional and like my mother. I believe all the residents are treated with care and dignity. I highly recommend Cavell Court.

The care that my father received whilst at Cavell Court was Fantastic! Every member of the team from admin to care staff provided an exemplary level of compassion and care for both my father and us, as a family. The only criticism Dad would have is about the food but he is a very fussy eater!

Cavell Court is a warm and friendly care home with a cheerful atmosphere. The staff at Cavell Court looked after my dad with kindness, respect, and good humour all along. I was always reassured when I visited or spoke to Dad that he was surrounded by good people, as he told me himself, and he was a good judge of character. Dad loved the activities, thanks to the staff helping him get involved, he especially loved the music. I will always be grateful to the staff at Cavell Court for looking after my dad so well.
