I booked for 2 weeks and stayed for 3. The staff were excellent and they did everything to ensure that my stay was as enjoyable as possible. I shall return after a minor operation.
My mother has been beautifully looked after. She is not easy but has been well managed. The food is fabulous and the staff cannot be praised too highly.
Our experience is that the home is very caring with exceptional staff (from management to cleaners). Always very happy and attentive to all residents needs and visitors.
Mum went for respite care and we were both a bit uncertain about what to expect. However, all our worries were completely unnecessary as all the staff and management are absolutely amazing. Care is second to none. Food is delicious and nutritious. Mum was only booked in for a short stay but when I went to collect her she wanted to stay longer. Management were very accommodating and Mum stayed for an extra week. All in all, the best move we have made as a family as Mum is very happy and safe and we are able to have a break.
The staff have been wonderful, encouraging my sister to eat more and even the chef finds ways of tempting her appetite. They encourage her to socialise, but in a very gentle, caring way. Rectory Court is great.
I was very comfortable and made to feel welcome. The staff gave outstanding care and were very kind.
The Manager and the staff here at Rectory Court Care Home have been amazing. My Aunt stayed here at a very vulnerable time in her life and they helped her stabilise, regain her strength. We are so grateful for the help they provided!
Since going to Rectory Court he has been quietly encouraged to come out of his shell and to engage with the other residents, not least at mealtimes and in the activities laid on such as in-chair keep fit and sing-alongs.
There are regular resident and friends get-togethers in which all are encouraged to give feedback to the management who, incidentally, are very visible and active on the "shop-floor" and not confined to an ivory tower.
The staffing level is high and there is a good-humoured atmosphere whilst maintaining a solid foundation of professionalism.
I am confident that this image is not just cranked up when visitors turn up as I often arrive unannounced and the ambience is constant.
In conclusion, I am comforted, relieved and confident that my Dad is in the right place.
I am so well cared for, I enjoy delicious, freshly cooked food every day with a varied menu. Fun activities and rest when I want to in my beautiful room. I've made new friends and feel relaxed and confident that I am being cared for by a professional team of managers and carers with a friendly and personal approach.
The croissants were to die for and all other menus were delicious.
The manager was always most helpful and staff always cheerful and efficient. My first carer was great, fun and we bonded instantly.
My 83-year-old father stayed at Rectory Court for 4 weeks to recuperate from hip replacement surgery. From the moment he arrived straight from the hospital, the care was exceptional, the staff are kind and friendly at all times - they couldn't do enough for him. Not only did my father recover well under their care, but the peace of mind for the family that he was being looked after so well was priceless. Thank you.
I have moved from Essex to Rectory Court. It's bright, beautiful, cheerful and the staff are wonderful and caring. I am extremely happy and settled in the knowledge that I am getting first class care. It's more like a lovely boutique hotel than a residential home - fabulous!
I was recommended to look at Rectory Court as a care home for my Mum who was no longer able to look after herself fully. I was immediately impressed with the layout and decor of the care home and thought that this would be ideal for my Mum. We decided to place her at Rectory court on respite to see how she would feel. She loves the place and more importantly the staff who are warm and friendly whilst at the same time very professional. They attend to her needs and certainly go more than the extra mile. There is a lovely feel when you walk in, as the staff seem to be able to generate this warm and caring atmosphere for all to feel. Having visited a few other homes in the area all I can say is that Rectory Court is exceptional.
My father has been living at Rectory Court for two months now and has experienced a very high level of care and attention. The building is newly refurbished to a very high standard, and there is a lovely garden and patio area. All the staff I have met are both caring and knowledgeable, and the food is excellent. We have received plenty of feedback via phone and email whenever any decisions have been necessary, and we are made welcome whenever we visit. Most importantly, Dad has settled in quickly and is happy.
A very warm welcome by all staff. An excellent place for mental and physical wellbeing. My health has improved gradually. If ever I became ill again I would wish to return here. It feels more like home.
Thank you Rectory Court.

I help families and potential residents through their journey of considering a care home for their loved ones. I consider it a privilege to be able to advise people on such a difficult and emotional journey.

I am originally from the Wirral, and I moved to London with my husband in 2015 as he had a promotion and was asked to relocate. We have created a lovely life here. We now have two young children who keep us busy most of the time.
I enjoy going on holiday and socialising with friends whenever I get the chance.

What I do:
As the Lead Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coordinator at Rectory Court, I create weekly schedules focused on physical wellbeing, mental stimulation and social engagement.
