I love coming to visit my mother-in-law. meeting all the residents and the staff, it is a really wonderful experience.

The staff are really caring which is the most important thing. The home is lovely with several lounges to sit in as well as ensuite bedrooms for all residents. There are several activities during the week which the residents can choose to participate in. A favourite activity is when they have a singer or musician visiting. The home try to get one most weeks but it is not always possible. I would like it to be a couple of times a week as it really lifts all the residents moods no end. The only way I can see this happening is to book acts a year in advance or at least several months ahead. The dining room is laid out very nicely. The menu however is a bit repetitive and not at its best by the time it is served. I would like to see a larger variety of sandwiches at supper time for those residents who do not want another cooked meal.
Thank you very much for your feedback and we are glad that your husband is well settled in the home.

We have only recently discovered Waterside Court when we needed to find care at very short notice for my in-laws. I was so confident it was the right place for them when I looked around that we didn't consider anywhere else. It was a complicated move but the staff were exceptional in lining everything up very quickly. My in-laws have settled in well and love it here. As visitors to the home, we are kept apprised of how they are adapting and are always made to feel extremely welcome.
Thank you very much for your kind words and we, as a team, feel very privileged to have them in our very beautiful home. We always strive to provide the very best in premium experience!

I am even more impressed since he came in for respite. The staff had to work hard to overcome his extreme reluctance to be here; eventually he settled in and began to enjoy the activities. Family members visiting him always found him cheerful and this showed in the photos which they took and forwarded to me.
Many thanks to all those involved in his care.
Thank you very much for your words of encouragement to our team here. We were very privileged to have your husband here in our beautiful home and would welcome him back anytime.
My husband had a very happy stay for five nights respite care to give me a break. As always, he was very well looked after and felt secure and enjoyed himself. I am so grateful for this vital respite facility and do hope that beds for respite will remain available. Thank you to all the staff.

My 92-year-old father originally had 4 weeks respite after an unexpected operation. The home offered excellent facilities and the staff were all amazing. He agreed after 4 weeks that he should stay permanently. Everyone working at the home has made this an easy decision for my father and his family because they are all professional and very caring. A variety of activities are also organised.
Thank you very much and we are so pleased to have your father in our very beautiful home.
All staff have been so helpful. My friend has settled in nicely. We are both happy with the facilities.

My father came to Barchester Waterside Court Care Home for respite care due to his onset of dementia. Unfortunately, due to a severe stroke, he had to be sent to hospital and after review and consideration of his needs, we had my father returned to Waterside for end-of-life care. The Waterside team were fantastic, caring, compassionate and could not have been anymore helpful in my father's last days. We are very thankful to the Waterside team.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We were all so sad about your father, who was a true gentleman, and both staff and other residents were very fond of him. We hope you all remain part of the Waterside Court family.
Very elegant surroundings and warm welcome. The building is very well decorated and the staff are pleasant and helpful.

We have found our preferred respite home; I will be back! It is salutary to be with more elderly people, but the quality of accommodation and care is very good. I remind myself why I am here; respite for my wonderful wife, whose loving care cannot be replicated. Thank you very much.

Made to feel welcome. Given time and space for own quiet time. Good options of what activities available, always something to suit everyone. Felt at home, able to make coffee when I wanted. The staff were brilliant, good sense of humour and were very encouraging. Valued having a room with a patio door to get out to walk in the garden. Liked the walk-in shower. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed your time here and hope to see you again soon.
We have found everything about Barchester very professional. The building is lovely and the staff are very caring. They have helped my mother-in-law to settle in really well. The whole experience has been very easy and relaxed.

My parents have both had three weeks of respite, and they look ten years younger. They have been treated like royalty, with dignity, kindness, love and compassion and have agreed to many more visits/stays. The staff are fantastic, and one member of staff, well, we will always be so grateful for the kindness you have shown. I highly recommend Waterside and can't thank you enough.
Thank you so much for your kind review. It was an absolute pleasure having your parents here in Waterside Court and seeing them flourish, going from strength to strength. It was wonderful to see them having a wonderful time and see dad growing in his confidence too. Hopefully, we will see them again soon, visiting us for a cuppa or for coffee and cake! Thank you.

From the moment Mum arrived here at Waterside she was made to feel very welcome and part of a family. I visit her regularly and have excellent communication from the staff about her health and well being. They are very positive and the standard of care is excellent. Initially, Mum was reluctant to accept the care that was on offer but now that self same support has become part of her routine and is welcomed gratefully.
Thank you for your wonderful review and I'm so pleased mum has settled and now feels part of the Waterside Court family. I will be sure to share your feedback with the care team.
We visit out friend regularly she is an ex-neighbour of forty years. A wrench having to leave her home but she appears to be very happy and the staff are good and she has settled in very well and enjoying company, about her which didn't happen living in her house.
