My mother was very comfortable and very well looked after during her respite stay at Rectory Court. She particularly enjoyed the food. We could relax while we were on holiday knowing that she was in kind, capable hands.
The whole process of moving my father in, from my initial guided tour of the home to his warm welcome three weeks later, was smooth and uncomplicated. He has settled in very quickly and made new friends already in the first week. The level of care is superb, the accommodation is first-rate and the food is excellent.
The staff at Rectory Court are excellent. Everything is done with kind consideration. They encourage independence with gentle persuasion while always there for support.
Relations had thoroughly checked out and met others who had been here previously; that considering my unmedical needs physically and personally, here would be very suitable for my needs at that time. I did not know this place previously but knew the area well having taught in the district as a very young teacher years ago. I was not disappointed all my needs for health and welfare were provided for.
After hospital care I came to Rectory Court for respite. stayed for 6 weeks and it has helped me a great deal to get strong enough to go home. I have had my physio twice a week since I have been here and it has helped me. I have found everyone kind and helpful. I would recommend my friends to come here if they need care.
My mum had a short respite stay here. She was made extremely welcome and was very impressed with the high quality of everything. The care was excellent and my mother was very happy. She will certainly come again and hopes they have a spare room for her. Covid restrictions were handled carefully and sensitively and she was able to have visitors. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. We are so pleased you chose Rectory Court and we are looking forward to welcoming mum back in the near future.
I enjoy living at Rectory Court. I enjoy the garden especially in Summer when we have events. I am also able to get the audio library books delivered every month and they come in a van and you can go and choose the books. I was able to bring my own furniture and lights for my room and my room feels like home. I always tell my friends how great Rectory Court is.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, we are delighted you are so happy at Rectory Court.
My father was very happy with Rectory Court, in all aspects - he felt respected and very well treated, enjoyed the food options, had an excellent room as well as good common areas and a lovely garden to stroll in. Visitor facilities were also very good, albeit with the Covid restrictions.
Thank you for taking the time to review Rectory Court, we are delighted your father had an excellent stay with us.
The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming. They are as helpful as they can be and they are like best friends to me.
Thank you so much for your review, that is great to hear that you feel so happy at Rectory Court, the team work really hard and really appreciate your comments.
I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of activities and found the experience interesting and friendly.
This was the second occasion I have stayed for respite and I have been extremely impressed.
With research, Rectory Court came up. We got in touch, came to visit and from the word go, we didn't look back. Mum had a lovely stay t Rectory Court. She was well looked after, she thoroughly enjoyed her 2-week stay.
We couldn't have chosen better respite care for mum. Very happy.
She needed respite care.
From the moment she entered Rectory Court she was treated with dignity and respect.
The staff were amazing and made her feel welcome immediately.
During her stay in luxurious surroundings, she made a friend and took part in lots of activities.
Watching her grow in confidence was worth every penny.
I saw her shine for the first time in many months.
As her daughter, it’s a great comfort to me, knowing she is in such safe and capable hands.
I highly recommend Rectory Court.
It's a lovely place, its worth the money. Good food and friendly helpful staff.
We are delighted that the short stay with us was so successful. We look forward to welcoming you again in 2019.
My step mother is staying with you and her care is exceptional. All staff are extremely caring and thoughtful. The atmosphere as soon as you enter is welcoming. This sets the tone for the whole home. I cannot recommend this home highly enough.
The physical surroundings are very attractive and comfortable. The staff are outstandingly good - unfailingly pleasant and caring and act without waiting to be asked. I think the competent, courteous management very much contributes to the pleasant atmosphere and kindness of the residents.
This was the second time that my nephew had stayed at Rectory Court for respite care. Throughout, he was given an exemplary care in difficult circumstances as (following a stroke) he had almost no cognitive abilities. But he really enjoyed the excellent food!! Unfortunately, he collapsed and died suddenly one night during his stay. Everything possible was done to help both him and us. Thank you for your kind and lovely care.
My mother was extremely well looked after. The home is more like a hotel than an institutional home and the residents are treated like people. The staff take the trouble to find out the interests of the residents and try to build a variety of activities around their interests. They even organised some members of a bridge club to come for an afternoon to play bridge, knowing that one one of my mother's real interests, even though she was only in for 12 days respite care while I went away. Mealtimes are sociable with residents going down to the dining rooms to eat, this is a good opportunity for residents to get to know each other.
My mother is not yet frail enough to need to be in a home but she enjoyed her time there and said that she would happily go again if I wanted to go away on holiday. This takes a tremendous weight off my shoulders. Thank you to all the staff for being so friendly, welcoming and making her feel part of the community.
Good care and a good place to stay. Staff are very good.
