Abbotswood Court Care Home has a Review Score of 10 (9.979) out of 10, based on 28 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Abbotswood Court Care Home has 127 reviews.
Her room is lovely, menu and food choices are very tasty, and there is a wealth of activities that can be enjoyed as well as sitting in the lovely gardens or accessing the local community. But it's the way the staff make you feel that really counts, always warm and welcoming, clearly capable, competent and well trained, and always taking the time to truly care for residents in the very broadest sense of the word. The manager provides great hands on leadership to a brilliant team.
We thank you for such a lovely review which we will share with the whole team. Its very rewarding to read such lovely feedback xx
The care received by my father and our family was outstanding. He was only in the home for 15 days before he died but he was treated as a person the whole time. He was shown respect, compassion and great care. I cannot thank the staff enough for the consideration shown to all of us during the time of his stay and ultimate death. The care the staff gave was first-rate from beginning to end. Thank you.
We really appreciate your kind words at this sad time for your family and we all send our love.
The staff cared for my mum extremely well. They made great efforts to understand her fully and tailor their treatment of her to her needs. The end-of-life care was second to none. They were highly supportive of us as a family.
Thank you for taking the time, (especially at this difficult time ) to write this feedback. We will pass your comments on to the team and we send you all our very best wishes xx
We did consider other homes but chose Abbotswood Court Care Home due to the facilities. My mother-in-law was here for two years and we have been very impressed by the care, the facilities but most of all the staff and their caring, professional attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend Abbotswood Court to anyone considering a care home.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. We are so humbled when we get feedback like this. We will of course pass your kind comments onto the whole team.
My mother was in Abbotswood Court Care Home for two years. The care and support she received from the staff was outstanding. All members of the team are professional, caring and compassionate. The environment at Abbotswood felt like one big happy family. The end-of-life care that my mum received from all the staff was amazing and I will be forever grateful to them.
We really appreciate you taking the time to give this feedback at this difficult time. Your words sum up what's important to us as a home; to give families the comfort of knowing their loved ones are receiving the best care. We will pass your kind words to the whole team and send you our love and best wishes.
My father stayed in Abbotswood Court Care Home for the last 18 months of his life and I cannot thank them enough. Their care, compassion and professionalism have been outstanding. At every turn, we have been met with a smile and with kindness and understanding. They do so much to enable our relatives to live well despite their limitations. I am so thankful I found them.
Thank you for such lovely words. This will mean so much to our team as this is what we strive to achieve. For family members as well as our dear residents.
From the first day Dad entered Abbotswood Court Care Home I felt he was in good hands. I cannot thank every member of staff enough for their endless patience and kindness in looking after Dad in the following months. It was also a huge relief for me to be able to phone anytime to check how Dad was. Thank you Abbotswood for everything.
It was a pleasure and we all send our love. Thank you for this review.
Nothing but good things to say about Abbotswood Court Care Home. Lovely staff, giving excellent care. Many activities for the residents. Relatives and friends always made welcome.
Thank you for the review. We are very pleased you are happy with the care we give and yes we love welcoming friends and families.
Abbotswood was our first port of call when seeking short-term care for my mother. From the outset, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and communications were excellent. The home itself is exceptionally well presented with wonderful facilities. Thank you for providing us with such great respite care.
Thank you for your lovely comments we are so pleased you are happy with the respite care and it's a pleasure.
Abbotswood Court has been a wonderful place for my father for the last three years. They have certainly looked after him well, and treated him with the dignity he deserved. Management continually updating his needs as his dementia got worse. In his last few days the staff were incredibly caring and thoughtful to his and our needs. Thank you.
Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. We really value your kind words. Love from the whole team.
My father had suffered with Alzheimer's for some years and was a resident at Abbotswood Care Home for the last 2 1/2 years of his life. He was always treated with respect, was safe and comfortable in the friendly environment. The staff went out of their way to look after him in his failing physical health and worked extra hard when medical help was not always forthcoming from the local GP practice. When he passed away I would say everyone around him could not have been kinder.
Thank you for such nice feedback on dear Dad's care. It was an absolute pleasure looking after him and we will all miss him.
As a family we were always warmly welcomed and sensitively supported.
Thank you for taking time to write such kind words. We are so pleased you were happy with your dear father's care and felt supported yourselves as our extended family.
An excellent care home with caring staff and excellent facilities.
Thank you for taking the time to give us such a nice review. From the whole team.
The staff and care given at Abbotswood was exceptional. Highly empathetic, professional and attentive at what can be a very difficult time for families. The Abbotswood team made a big difference to us all. Especially one staff member who was an absolute superstar and much respected by my grandpa and family during this time there.
Thank you. We cherish such words as this is what we strive for. We are so pleased you felt supported and that your dear Grandpa enjoyed his time here.
Cannot recommend Abbotswood Court Care Home highly enough. The team are brilliant.
Thank you so much for your very kind words and for taking the time to express your appreciation. We are so pleased you feel this way. It was an honour caring for your dear father who will be dearly missed.
Thank you.
Thank you for taking time to review us. It's been a pleasure helping Grandma settle in and yes she's quite the social butterfly!
We chose this home due to great reputation and we were not disappointed. Great facilities, beautiful gardens. Extremely caring staff.
Thank you for your kind review and lovely words. We are pleased you are happy with everything we offer
We are so happy since Mum moved into Abbotswood Court, she is so happy and the staff are incredible and hard-working, nothing is too much for them.
Thank you! And thank you for all the lovely things you have also done for us while your dear mum has been here. It's really lovely to see you both regularly together enjoying our activities and events.
They have excelled in managing her volatile mood swings, and distress at a difficult time for my mother, by consistently exploring highly-professional and empathetic treatment, from across the entire staff and management team. She's in very good hands.
Thank you for taking the time to review us, and your kind words. As a team we were so thrilled to see the change in Mum once she settled in. We recognised the transition wasn't easy for her but it has been very rewarding seeing the team support her in such a way she now feels so happy and content. Seeing her enjoying life here is extremely rewarding.
I enjoyed the experience of being at Abbotswood Court Care Home for three and a half weeks on respite care. My first experience of a care home and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. All the staff were very friendly and pleasant and most caring. The menus and food were excellent. The activities programme was enjoyable and the lovely staff give Abbotswood Court Care Home a homely and welcoming feel.
We are so pleased you enjoyed your time here with us and thank you for taking the time to review us.

Meet the Team (5)

I have been working in care for over 20 years and have held a range of positions from Support Worker / Carer to Registered Manager. My experience is with learning disabilities and elderly care, including dementia and palliative care. I love the satisfaction of making a positive difference, however great or small, in the life of someone less able than I am, at whatever stage of life they have reached.
Whilst working in care, I have been lucky enough to receive several awards. In 2005, I was the runner-up in the National Registered Managers category of the National Care Awards and a Local Hero Award for Outstanding Achievement in Care run by the Salisbury Journal and Spire FM. I am proud of both these achievements.

What I do
As Deputy Manager, I work closely with Lea as part of the management team. My previous role was Dementia Manager here at Abbotswood Court, and I continue to directly support residents and families of our dementia community. I regularly meet with our residents’ families and, with Lea, ensure families are as much a part of Abbotswood Court as the residents themselves.
My experience
Since completing my Master's degree in Person-Centred Care in Dementia, I have had 16 years’ experience of supporting people living with dementia across a range of age groups.
About me
I joined Abbotswood Court in 2016, and I strive to educate people, particularly families of those living with dementia, to recognise the positive impact of focusing on the abilities the person still has, rather than dwelling on the abilities they have lost. I am passionate about everyone being treated as an individual, continuing to develop the atmosphere of person-centred care at Abbotswood Court and encouraging my Care Team to achieve the best possible care.

As Deputy Manager, I support the Home Manager in ensuring our residents receive the highest standard of care in a safe, welcoming and homely environment. My role combines hands-on involvement with residents and families alongside leadership and guidance for our care team. I love to make a difference in every resident's life.
My ExperienceI’m a Registered Nurse from the Philippines, having worked for 5 years in a hospital before I moved to the UK. I worked in a Nursing Home for 10 years as a shadow nurse before I joined Abbotswood Court in October 2015. I have achieved a number of different qualifications in Care over the past 16 yrs.

My job involves helping people make difficult decisions about residential care, introducing them to our fabulous team and helping them to understand and experience the superb lifestyle residents enjoy at Abbotswood Court.
We take great pride in guiding our new residents and their family members through this life-changing move with lots of help, support and encouragement, which continues throughout their time here.

I am responsible for making sure our residents live their lives to the fullest. I take great pleasure in seeing smiles on our residents' faces, friendships being built and living life to the fullest. We place a huge focus on implementing extremely varied, fun and exciting activities throughout the year. This could be personalised one-to-one activities, right through to day trips out. I always try to ensure there is something for everyone.
