My Dad was welcomed into Anjulita Court by several cheerful members of staff in February 2022. He has now made this his home enjoying the company of other residents. There are several daily activities for all residents to get involved in, Church services, Quizzes, Baking, Art and Crafts, and recently a dedicated time for the male members to meet up and reminisce. Everyone got involved with the Jubilee Celebration, Singalong, Afternoon Tea, Disco, all organised by the wonderful Anjulita Court Team. We are very happy with the care Dad is receiving, the home is very clean and well maintained with attentive staff and always available for you to chat too.
Thank you for the kind review. We have been pleased to welcome some new residents since the pandemic and are glad that people have been able to have a sociable time living at Anjulita. Your review has been shared with our staff at the home.
I would not like to think how my sister and I would have coped without the love and support of everyone at Anjulita Court, both our Mother and Father have been living there for a while, their care has been amazing, our Mother has just passed and the love everyone has shown not only our Father, but us as well has helped so much at such a difficult time.
Many thanks for the lovely feedback and support to the team at Anjulita Court.
At the start of 2021 and still in lockdown both my parents' health deteriorated and it became obvious they each needed dedicated care in a safe environment and this was found at Anjulita Court. For my parents, it meant a wrench from their home 200 miles away in order to be closer to me, their daughter. Anjulita Court was so accommodating and welcoming and ensured that my parents had their own rooms close to each other. The dedicated care and attention to detail of the wonderful staff soon enabled my parents to feel at home, safe in the knowledge they were being looked after. Initially, I was their designated visitor but as restrictions lifted more family members were welcomed and encouraged to visit which was important for my parents' mental health. Throughout the pandemic, Anjulita Court has kept pace with government guidelines and I have never been made to feel unwelcome or denied access unless it was unavoidable. My mum now receives end-of-life care and I have been granted ECG status.
Thank you for the lovely feedback about the care provided at Anjulita Court. It has been a difficult time for visiting through the pandemic but we were happy to enable essential family carer visits to keep families involved with the support of residents.
Anjulita Court is a superb care home. All the staff are caring and work tiresomely to make residents have a great stay. The pandemic has been such a difficult time for all and Anjulita has and continues to be excellent in keeping up regular communications with family members. I would especially like to thank the member of staff who has been caring for my Mother-in-Law since 2016 and the Administration Manager who is very helpful in sorting out any queries and of course the General Manager. In addition to the excellent care that is provided, the staff are always mindful of what would be in the best interests of the residents and have recommended music therapy to my Mother-in-Law who responds well. I thoroughly recommend Anjulita Court.
Many thanks for the great feedback about our team at Anjulita Court. We are really pleased that MHA fundraising is now supporting two days a week service here from our music therapist.
Anjulita Court provides a friendly and professional caring environment. All of the many staff that we have encountered, are very caring and efficient. A strong focus on the well-being of residents is apparent. The home is well designed and fully equipped, with many additional services and support provided.
Thank you for the great feedback about the service at Anjulita Court.
Mum moved into Anjulita Court in August 2020, a difficult time for everybody and at short notice. From the start, the whole team were incredibly flexible, understanding, and helpful. Whilst she has lived here all the staff, care staff, and administrative, have provided excellent care for her and have really got to know her. They really appreciate her likes and dislikes and respect her preferences and personality. I don't live locally but they could not have been more accommodating enabling me to visit whilst maintaining infection protection rules and keeping the residents and staff safe. I feel very well informed and have full confidence in the care team, and I am impressed with the management team who seem to be constantly looking for ways to introduce initiatives to keep their residents and families happy. I can recommend this facility wholeheartedly.
Thank you for the fabulous comments about our team and the care provided at Anjulita Court.
Very helpful, friendly and caring staff. Food of a very good standard. Well-run with care offered at many levels. MHA have dealt with visits during the pandemic well. Recommended care home in my opinion.
Thank you for this positive review of the care and support provided at Anjulita. Thank you for your support during these difficult times for everyone. I have passed your kind comments to the care staff and wider team.
Obviously, it’s been a difficult year for everyone with restricted visiting for relatives but Mum appears to be well looked after and well cared for during these tough times. Visits have been facilitated in line with government guidance whenever possible. Activities for residents have, sadly, been very restricted because of the pandemic.
Thank you for the feedback to the Anjulita team. Your feedback is very encouraging for the staff team who as you say have worked through the stressful year to maintain safety and care for all residents and each other. We are very conscious of the reduction in activity, especially communal activity...
Mum has been in Anjulita Court since December 2020 when it became necessary, at very short notice, to find her full-time care. At a very traumatic time in our lives, particularly as a result of lockdown, the staff at Anjulita have been supportive, attentive and caring. Since Mum has lived there, she has had a couple of bouts of ill health, the most recent being in February. The staff identified the issue quickly and dealt with it efficiently and professionally. I was kept in touch with all developments and at all times, I have had peace of mind that Mum is being well looked after.
Thank you for your ratings and comments about the responses, support and care that the staff have provided. We have maintained the service open through lockdown where possible. We are pleased to have provided urgent support where needed within the limitations of the testing and quarantine...
My mum has been a resident since August 2020 and considering the tough times everyone has had to cope with the staff have been exceptional. All staff are very approachable and friendly and helped mum settle in very well with care and compassion.
Many thanks for your positive ratings and comments. We have been pleased to continue to welcome residents in the past year to join us at Anjulita. Your feedback is really appreciated by the staff and gives the team a boost knowing they are supported by families. We hope to see you in the home when restrictions are lifted.
From a distance of 200 miles and a prolonged absence because of covid 19, my gratitude of Anjulita is difficult to measure. For the carers of Anjulita, this is not just a job; this is a vocation. With regard to how the Anjulita team deals with both residents and the associated families, it is the emotional intelligence of the team that is most humbling; this care is the very essence of Christianity. I am profoundly grateful to have this new home for my Mum.
Thank you from the team at Anjulita for your review and your ratings. We are fortunate to have many staff who have been working at the home for several years. This helps enormously in providing consistent and personal care to residents and families that you talk about. We are all hoping to welcome back relatives and friends as we come out from the prolonged absences caused by the pandemic.
This is a remarkable place, run by people who really care, with an ethos of deep respect and tender kindness to the residents. Considering what care homes have been through this year, they have stayed unfailingly calm and positive, communicating what little information (to start with) the government have them as well as they could while staff were themselves ill and terribly under pressure. The hands-on staff are absolutely wonderful with my aunt, who has specific nursing needs. She’s been here for I think 5 years now. They have also been amazingly kind to me and my whole family when we’ve been able to visit. The staff that support them do an excellent job too, and the admin team are incredibly high functioning, and he leads in a way that I deeply respect as it gets loyalty and high standards without bullying. He has been endlessly patient with me and my family’s questions. We looked at many homes in this area, and Anjulita was by miles the best one. It still is.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such positive feedback to the team here. It really does give the staff a lift to know their care and compassion is appreciated by the family.
The staff were all really helpful, thoughtful and kind.
The building is clean, light and airy.
The garden is peaceful and calm.
I would highly recommend this care home.
I spent two weeks respite in Anjulita Court. The first thing to strike you is how good the staff are. Everyone speaks to you or waves to you, they call you by your first name and really care about you and I cannot praise them enough.
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at Anjulita Court. Thank you for your kind feedback regarding our staff team, which is very much appreciated. I will ensure that your comments are shared with them.
People are left sat without stimulation, interaction or care with staff talking to each other. I work in the industry and am confident there is no consideration to Dementia care at this service at all with the care home being based on a religious ideal rather than a specialist care setting to best meet the needs of individuals who require care and support.
There are far better options available, providing excellent care for similar price ranges for private paying customers.
Thank you for your feedback; it is important that documentation is completed in a timely manner but this should be done whilst sitting with our residents. We will use your feedback to make improvements. We are proud of our links to the Methodist Church but please be assured that Anjulita Court is...
My father was admitted directly from hospital. On arrival, he was given a hot meal made especially for him and was made comfortable in his room. The senior carer and the carers are taking very good care of him, and whenever I visit he is content, clean and presentable - thank you! All the staff throughout the home seem very skilled and compassionate. This kindness has helped our family tremendously.
Very helpful when required, plenty of things to do. Nice food and variety. Very comforting to have so many people to help me if needed.
This home is misrepresented on their website by stating its a care home for Dementia and having a specialist care category with Alzheimer's. Please note this is not the case! Be very careful when looking at placing a loved one here in the dementia unit as the management suggested my father in law needed a nursing dementia unit after he was a little challenging some times when it came to personal care. Very disappointed with the standard of care at this facility and lack of training for the dementia unit. I feel they just want residents that just sit all day and are easy to care for. I would like to say thank you to some of the care team who are excellent at their job and have a full understanding of Dementia care needs.
Thank you for taking the time to feedback your comments in relation to Anjulita Court. I am sorry that you feel the Home is misrepresented on our website. Please be assured that we do our very best to care for each resident in line with their needs, however, there are times when it is necessary...
My mother was a resident in Anjulita Court for nearly four years. I held Power of Attorney for her and looked after all her affairs. She died at the end of March, 2019 aged almost 100 years. Throughout her stay she was treated with dignity and respect, and, as an only son, I am immensely grateful to the Anjulita for the love and support, and care given not only to my mother but to me on the day she died. In particular, the chaplain was unobtrusive but so reassuring. I cannot praise all the staff enough. I would rate the Anjulita as a first class establishment.
Thank you for your kind words, especially at this difficult time. We were only to glad to care for your mother. Thank you also for all the hard work you have put in as a volunteer, you too have helped put quality into the care at Anjulita Court.
The rooms are well maintained, spacious and well kept. Safety and security is a priority. Overall, the place is value for money.
We are so happy that your father-in-law is happy at Anjulita Court and that you feel we are a good home for him to reside in. Our dedicated team will be thrilled to hear that you feel he is well taken care of and they will continue to support him to live life to the full. Thank you.
