Abbotswood Court Care Home

Very happy with the care provided for my Mum. The home has a very friendly, warm approach to the residents and very welcoming to visitors. The food is very good, and the entertainment programme keeps Mum very busy and involved.

Excellent care provided. The staff are so willing and cannot do enough to help you. Enjoyed my short visit.

Everything so far has been better than expected.

Our aunt has only recently moved to this beautiful care home - and has been made to feel so welcome. Staff have taken time to get to know her and her needs, and always treat her with care and dignity. She comments regularly on the kindness of the staff. A couple of days ago she had an emergency admission to hospital and we were so impressed with how well this was handled, with initial care being given while an ambulance was called. At the end of the day, there was a discussion about discharge or being admitted to a ward. Our aunt said she wanted to go home, back to Abbotswood. The fact that she called it "home" spoke volumes. We are very grateful indeed that she is being so well looked after.

Abbotswood Court Care Home is a wonderful place for your loved ones to live. The staff are amazing and so kind and thoughtful. The place is decorated beautifully and has a very calm feel. The care on offer is second to none and I would highly recommend it to all. I could not have asked for any better care, kindness and dignity for my mum in her time there.

This wonderful home changed my view of care homes. It's a bright, happy place and not only a wonderful place for those fortunate enough to live there, but also for friends and families to visit.

I came for respite care and the management and staff are giving the attention, help, support security and care. Your welfare is at the top of their agenda with the help, support and friendship I am now able to walk again, rather than looking for the next finger hold or a steady arm! They couldn't be more caring and they genuinely want what is best for you.

When I realised I could no longer cope with my broken pelvis at home, my daughter was quick to book in here at Abbotswood Court Care Home having had it recommended from friends with ageing parents. Although initially concerned I'd be too much trouble, I was left in no doubt that that's what round the clock staff of carers are here for and the senior carers were always willing to discuss self-medication worries of one sort or another and give me liquid morphine on time. The place is kept super clean and the dedicated staff always cheerful and happy to have a little chat and the food consistently tasty and tempting.

Thank you.

I share with my wife a large room with much of our home furniture. The room is bright and airy with good views through a large window. All the staff we meet are very helpful and attentive. Any problems are quickly dealt with. We like the wide corridors and many small lounges. We try to attend many of the activities which are always well organised. We should like to see more information used for meals and improved presentation. We would like meals about an hour later in the evening. We have only been on one outside trip to the zoo which was very well organised in all respects, particularly the driver and support helpers. We would certainly support further trips. We are very happy here.

Mum has been at Abbotswood since late July and we have been very impressed by the care shown to make her feel at home in her new surroundings. The friendly approach is extended to all family and friends who visit, with coffee and biscuits always offered. It has all gone to make Mum’s transition into her new life very much less stressful than could have been expected. I’m hugely grateful to all staff.

Supper was at five, which made the evening very long.

My husband was happy with the care he received during my absence. During the pre-visit interview, we were treated well and our questions answered satisfactorily. Very pleasant staff.

Thank you all very much indeed.

Very caring staff at all levels. Excellent activities and links with the community. Residents are encouraged to eat and drink. Records are updated throughout the day. Managers maintain excellent contact with relatives, are open to new ideas and consult regularly. Our father is safe and very settled.

I have enjoyed my stay here and would definitely come back again if necessary.

A very pleasant home, caring and friendly.

My experience here has been good, I could not ask for better.

Delighted in general. The home is beautifully and cleverly designed and is kept so clean! The staff are very nice and, on the whole, very attentive.

The thing that lets the place down is the food, which I have rated as poor. It tends to be rather dull and repetitive. Their intentions are good. Quite often they show something nice on the weekly menu and then it doesn't turn out as described and is sometimes not at all appetising.

The staff at Abbotswood Court welcomed and cared for my mother-in-law for over two years. They had become friends with her and treated her with respect and dignity. She could be difficult but they deal with this behaviour.

Sadly, she passed away on Boxing Day. The staff handled everything associated with this sad event so well. We were so touched that they dressed her in a favourite outfit before she left for the undertaker. Thank you!
