Abbeyfield Speedwell Court

I would like to express heartfelt thanks for the care my husband received during a short stay at Speedwell. The care staff dealt very well with his fluctuating needs, and the management were calm and helpful when we were uncertain of what arrangements needed to be made. Special thanks to the night staff, who kept watch with the paramedic and me through the long night of waiting for ambulance arrival - (this included welcome cups of tea).

Excellent staff. Lovely environment. Food has declined.

Staff from front desk to cleaners, chefs and especially a big shout out to all the entertainment staff who do a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged and smiling. (Mandy, you're fab!)

Speedwell looked after my mum for nearly 2 years. Staff were caring,friendly and could not do enough for her. The home was always clean and never smelt. The cafe and garden are so lovely to visit with mum. I would recommend it.

I still have full confidence in the kind respectful care given to mum which hasn't changed over the last 4 years. staff do their utmost to care for mum as best to their ability even under some difficult times when there is little cooperation from mum. if I question or ask for anything staff are happy to provide me the information needed and give me the reassurance of continued support and care. all the staff work extremely hard and all show their care and duty to provide a service to residents and family members, they are all so very friendly and I always feel mum is in very good hands which is ultimate for me knowing mum is cared and safe . the care home provide a weekly programme of activities/entertainment for residents . the care home is always very clean and I have total trust in all the staff at speedwell court

My Godmother has been at Speedwell for 14mths and has been extremely well cared for. A very friendly atmosphere means everyone knows her, whether it's care staff, kitchen or maintenance staff, the gardener, all stop to speak to her with a natural warmth. There are lots of activities which she's encouraged to take part in. Whenever personal care is needed curtains are always pulled even though her room is on the first floor and not overlooked.

I can't thank you enough for all that you do. All the staff work so hard to care for the residents and make sure that they enjoy every day. The activities programme is just brilliant and so varied too. My Mum loves all the music and singing, it makes her so happy, and we always feel so welcome when we come and see her.

Speedwell Court has been a blessing to us since our mum became a resident. We have been able to work together with staff so that our mum receives person-centred care. The management and carers are always willing to listen and take into consideration family suggestions, ideas and deal with concerns. We are able to rest assured because we can see that our mum is being very well looked after.

My father who dementia was admitted to Speedwell Court at short notice for respite care. The team were fanstastic at meeting his needs, getting to know him and help him settle in. They were attentive to his needs and he was well looked after. They was excellent communication with the family. We would certain choose Speedwell Court for future respite/ care needs and highly recommend it to others

My Aunt was a resident at Speedwell for 2 years. She was happy and very well looked after during her time here. All the staff that I came across were friendly, caring and helpful. Communication was also great, thank you for everything.

Speedwell Court is fantastic. The staff are kind, professional and extremely caring, always treating my mum and residents with dignity and respect. The home is clean and very welcoming, which gave us, as a family, peace of mind knowing Mum was so well looked after. I would certainly recommend Speedwell as they've gone above and beyond to look after Mum.

Mum was sadly only a resident at Abbeyfield Speedwell for 9 days. However the care that mum received at every level from the admin staff, medical staff, housekeeping and nursing staff was excellent in every respect. The staff were very kind and caring to me as well, and I was without a doubt that when I was not there the excellent care continued.

Birthdays are always celebrated with a cake provided by Speedwell. Mum was 94 last week and the carers made her day extra special with accommodating a good numbers of us visitors, providing a room for us and generally making her afternoon memorable with kind words and deeds. Thank you so much.

I am confident that my mother feels secure and comfortable, and despite considerable dementia, appreciates the care and contact with others that she receives.

My Nan moved to Speedwell Court early 24. From the start the care was exceptional. The home itself has amazing facilities including a cafe, cinema and various activities rooms. The most important thing for my Nan though was the garden. A market gardener when she was young, she had grown fresh produce and used it in her cooking all her life and Speedwell had the same ethos. They encouraged and facilitated her continuing to do what she loved safely. She grew vegetables there and there was even a 'cooking station' set up for her to make fresh pasta and sauce with the chefs acting as her sous chefs! Incredibly individualised and person centred care! There were events for every holiday and most week ends with games, visiting bands, even a visiting farm! My Nan was very social and loved to laugh and thoroughly enjoyed the activities but even more importantly she was cared for by the staff holistically, with kindness and respect and with her wishes at the forefront of any decisions made.

The service Speedwell Court provides is quite marvellous I have absolutely no complaints at all. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and caring. I am delighted with every aspect of the care my husband gets.

Thank you for all your help.

My mum has been a resident at Abbeyfield Speedwell Court since May 2022. The care and compassion she has received has been exemplary. I would have no reservations about recommending Speedwell Court. I am always welcomed wholeheartedly and treated like one of the 'Speedwell family', I can rest knowing my mum is being very well cared for.

We were very pleased with the care my father received in the last two years of his life at Speedwell Court. This has been exemplary and we very much appreciate the work and dedication of all the staff. Thank you.

I would highly recommend Speedwell Court to anyone looking for a top of the range care home with first class care.
