Blenheim Court Care Home

I came to stay near family in Petersfield for the Christmas/New Year holidays. Due to Covid restrictions, we did not enjoy the freedom for outings but were most grateful for allowing regular visits. The management and care staff were most diligent to keep residents safe and happy.

I was referred to Blenheim Court after the hospital in Portsmouth could not provide for me over Christmas/New Year 21/22. I was 4 days following hip replacement surgery which had complications due to Lymph Oedema. I could not move at all on my left hip to foot. The home provided very good rehabilitation and care including physio. Which got me back to 955 mobility in just under 2 weeks. A really excellent service with two exceptional members of staff aiding my recovery

Communication between family and staff (management) needs to be improved. Sometimes emails are not acknowledged and changes are made without families knowing.

My mum is so much better since she came to the home a year ago. She is well cared for and seems happy. She enjoys the many activities which are a particular feature of the home.

A number of falls later (leading to broken bones) enough was enough.

Our 93-year-old mother was a resident at Blenheim Court Care Home for just over a year. She had never wanted to move into a care home but she actually found herself enjoying her life at Blenheim Court. She appreciated the attentive and caring staff, the activities and the beautiful environment. As she became more frail she needed a lot of care which was given very patiently. My sister and I really enjoyed visiting before the pandemic. There was always a big welcome, lots of friendly faces and tasty cakes and treats. After Covid struck the staff set Mum’s iPad up for her every day so that we could communicate. Staff kept us well informed of how Mum was doing which was reassuring. They took a genuine interest in her and often went beyond the call of duty. It was a weight off our shoulders to know that Mum was happy and well cared for. Thank you Blenheim Court!

The care at Blenheim Court Care Home is excellent. All the staff are very friendly and helpful, many of which have become good friends with my mum. The activities and facilities are fantastic. My children loved visiting their grandma at Blenheim and will love to do it again once we are able to more freely. I would definitely recommend this care home to anyone looking for care!

I am very pleased with my sister's care at Blenheim Court. My sister had a life-changing stroke in January 2020 and went to the nursing home in the April. When she arrived there everything was done that could be to improve her life, she was moved from bed to chair and we were told when she was in hospital, she would never be able to sit up, then she was persuaded to use a walking frame and now uses one often and we were told she would never walk again. My sister now talks fluently and eats food that is not pureed but we were told she would never talk and eat normally. The activities at Blenheim Court have been very good for her and she enjoys them. I think it is a fantastic nursing home and the care team all work together, it has a great friendly atmosphere.

I have nothing but praise for absolutely every one of the staff at Blenheim. My husband has been a resident there since February and he has been extremely well cared for through this awful Covid; the staff could not have done more for him. So pleased our family decided on Blenheim.

The manager and her team have been wonderful, the love and care they had during my dear mother's last days is a credit to them. They showed compassion and dignity and treated myself and my sister with the utmost kindness during this difficult time. I would not hesitate to recommend Blenheim Court for all levels of care needs.

Our wonderful mother seriously struggled during the lockdown. Her physical and mental health deteriorated. We needed a safe haven for her and Blenheim Court was perfect with their loving care and attention from every member of staff. Sadly she was there for just one month. In her final days, she had unbelievable amazing attention from the whole team and we were supported as a family by them. We can not thank them enough. The Manager and her team are beyond awesome. Angels, every one of them.

Could do with improving timing of answering the doorbell

My 95-year-old mother has been living at Blenheim Court since June 2019 and my sister and I have been extremely happy with her standard of care. The attention to detail and attentiveness of all the staff and carers is exceptional; nothing is too much trouble. In recent weeks, amid the COVID-19 outbreak, we have been kept informed about news and updates, consistently reassured and comforted whilst unable to visit in person. The imagination and thought put into keeping all the residents entertained and stimulated during this time has been fantastic. Blenheim Court post regular videos and updates so we relatives can see what our loved ones have been doing. This has helped my worries about Mum hugely. I can arrange Skype calls and we have been speaking often. I look forward to being able to visit again in the near future and be able to thank everyone personally. I would not hesitate in recommending this care home to anyone looking for a safe and caring environment for their loved one.

I cannot praise Blenheim Court highly enough for their care, help, compassion and love of my mum. Mum arrived as a very poorly person almost 2 years ago and is stronger now than she has been for years. Everyone at Blenheim genuinely cares about their residents. During these very troubled times, when we have not been able to visit, our family know that everything is being done for Mum to keep her safe and well. Although Mum chooses not to join in many activities the choice is always there. It is so reassuring for us to know that Mum is being looked after in this wonderful caring way.

My mother has been at Blenheim Court for just over a year. She has been happy there and I have been happy knowing she is getting the very best care. All the staff do such a wonderful job to make sure the residents are included in activities and social events if they want to. My mum loves going to the salon to have her hair done each week. The salon is situated in the bistro which is a lovely room, beautifully furnished and where you can get a coffee and a sweet treat. The views from this side of the building are spectacular. As a visitor you are always made to feel welcome. I live several hours drive away but the staff are always willing to talk to me over the phone, they also phone me if there is anything they think I should know. Highly recommend this wonderful care home.

Without exception, all the staff go above and beyond their duty and have always treated my mother with the greatest respect. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

Found staff lovely and patient. Very efficient.

A warm welcome, superb service and care a truly delightful home.

After a major hip operation and somewhat traumatic experience in hospital, I needed to rest and recuperate. Blenheim Court has been the perfect venue whilst also giving encouragement to achieve my goal of getting home. Thank you to everyone who has made that happen.

Outstanding.
