Pear Tree Court

In December 2025 after living at Pear Tree Court for one year, my mum had a stroke. When she was discharged from hospital, the nursing and care teams worked hard to understand the changes in Audrey's abilities and needs. They adapted their approach to Audrey's care so that she could regain most of her speech, the use of her hands, regain a little mobility and the ability to join in with social activities. We could not have hoped for a better outcome.

We felt heard right from our first contact and were welcomed in. It really does feel like a big family of love and support where needed. All the staff were great and patient and it was a relief to know that my mum was safe and well cared for. John deserves a special mention as he is so attentive and caring which makes a difficult decision a little easier. Thank you Pear Tree Court.

From the initial visit to Pear Tree Court, everything felt just right for my father's needs. The Management are extremely knowledgeable and efficient, and their staff are diligent, friendly, and always willing to help. The space is clean, bright and cheery and there's an airy environment throughout. The Café, located near Reception, offers a pleasant spot to relax with your loved ones and overlooks the lovely courtyard garden. There are also many daily activities should the residents wish to participate. At the time of my father's admission, we were unsure how long his stay might be for, and it was of great comfort to learn that should he require additional nursing needs then this could be available to him at Pear Tree Court. It takes time for the care staff to get to know their residents, however they have been really wonderful, and my father has settled in very well.

From the very first day when I contacted Pear Tree Court to enquire about availability at the Care Home I knew Mum was going to be happy here. Pear Tree Court offers everything anyone could require - from excellent care, entertainment, activities, food and good company, whether that be from the other residents or a chat with staff members. The Home itself is spotlessly clean and Mum was encouraged to bring any home comforts with her. Mum loves the garden and enjoys a wander round it to see the flowerbeds and sit and have a coffee outside while the weather is still good. She also loves seeing the children at Baby and Toddler Group which is held fortnightly to encourage interaction between residents and families. Mum was struggling to manage her own home and her failing eyesight hindered her mobility, and when we first brought Mum to have a look round Pear Tree Court her words were "I should have done this years ago!".

It was a very tough decision as a family to make this move into care for mum a very emotional journey for us, the staff have understood this and been very supportive to the family as we navigated this process. The support we have had during the visits to choose this home and since mum has been a resident has been fantastic. Thank you Pear Tree

My grandma, is always well looked after and we have a good strong communication between ourselves and the staff at the home. There is always activities on for the residents to do, which I really value as my grandma really benefits with interaction. Staff are always really friendly and polite and they make a lot of our family when we come to see her.

My mum is looked after very well at Pear Tree. Everyone are very helpful and friendly. The rooms are excellent everything is very clean. We can relax on holiday knowing mum is getting the best care. Very positive experience from Pear Tree Court all staff attentive and professional at all times.

My Uncle has stayed in Pear Tree Court for respite care on a number of occasions when he is not coping at home. He has arrived feeling tired, unwell and undernourished. Within a very short time of arriving he has rallied, feeling better and eating properly. The staff have always kept me informed of his progress and of any concerns.

My mum is beginning to settle in at Pear Tree Court. She has had a really good experience with the carers since she moved in to her new home in early May. For me I am very comfortable with the care she is being given and how the home is dealing with her integration. She has many activities in which to participate and is beginning to make some friends. She really enjoys the food. I am finally now relaxed about her environment and no longer worried about her living at home alone when her mobility had restricted her quality of life so much.

The introduction process, from one member of staff was also a key reason why we joined Pear Tree. Thanks.

The food deserts had too much sugar for me because I am diabetic. The food quality was generally good.

It meant at the end of his life he was given exceptional care which was a great relief for me

I have always found the staff open and very approachable to discuss mums care.

All staff are dedicated to ensuring that mum has a good care experience and she has said the food is delicious.

There is a broad spectrum of activities going on every day and mum has the opportunity to engage in these activities at Pear Tree Court. She particularly enjoys the arts and crafts, knit and natter and gardening activities.

Pear Tree Court has a wonderful atmosphere and energy through out. The manager and the whole team were kind, caring and very helpful. We cannot sing their praises enough. Every member of the staff from reception , cleaners , carers and nurses were wonderful , nothing was too much trouble. My father experienced a calm and very respectful time on his final journey at Pear Tree Court. We would highly recommend Pear Tree Court to anyone seeking care for a loved one

With Pear Trees help he was able to have the passing he wanted.

All the team are kind and very caring.

My nan has been in Pear Tree Court since January and is settling in nicely. She has already been moved rooms to one with a garden view which hopefully she will get to see soon but has been very poorly since Christmas when she was in hospital with flu and pneumonia. The care staff are very attentive to detail and making sure she has everything she needs. The chef also is great and knows her favourite foods. The facilities are good and there is a cafe where you can make yourself coffee and there are homemade goods for all to eat. Upstairs there is a cinema for the residents which has even been made to look as such with proper seats. All the staff and reception are very welcoming and friendly. You can visit as much as you like. I am especially impressed with the timetable that goes out every week with different events and sometimes birthdays that they can all participate in. Hopefully nan will get better soon and enjoy some of these.

Pear Tree Court is a wonderful place in all respects. The staff are amazing and work so hard to ensure all the residents' needs are met. Mum has been there for 18 months and is very happy, she has made friends and has the choice of many activities if she wishes to join in. There is a hair salon too and also regular pampering sessions where Mum has her nails painted which she loves. Pear Tree Court has a very homely feel and is beautifully furnished and comfortable. The food is very good and the chef always ensures residents favourites are on the menu. There are no restrictions for visiting and there is a lovely coffee shop and garden area. I attend the regular relative meetings, which are held by the management and are very helpful in hearing about future plans and events and a chance to ask questions. Although the management have an open-door policy so it's always easy to speak to them should you need to.

Pear Tree Court is a lovely place. Not at all the typical idea we have of care homes. It is bright, modern, clean and beautifully decorated. Very well laid out with lots of lovely rooms for activities or quiet moments should you need them. There is a coffee shop with drinks and cakes for residents and visitors and a large garden. The dining room is lovely with amazing food on offer with a change of menu every day. There is a lovely friendly atmosphere and everyone greets us cheerily. Our Mum has her door open so staff and other residents often pop in for a chat or wave as they go by. It has been a big adjustment for our Mum and not without difficulties but after a few months she is feeling much more settled. It has been a huge relief for our family to know that she has 24 hour care and is safe. One issue is that staffing levels are not always as good as they should be. Our Mum has sometimes still been in bed until late morning when visitors arrive. Care on the whole is great.

Amenities for the residents are good, with plenty of activities to keep those able happy, including arts and crafts, singers, music, and trips out. (And much more).

Our mum has been a resident of Pear Tree Court for four months now. In that time we have been quite blown away by the warmth, energy, and fun that has been shown to Mum. From the lovely atmosphere in the coffee shop to the amazing in-house activities to the outings - including a boat trip on Southampton harbour - to the exceptional level of one-to-one connections with the care team and mum's meds, it's been a reassuring and comforting journey for us. Mum often says to us that she's in the right place. She has more fun and laughter and nonsense than she ever had living on her own. It's an amazing residence!
