Over all time Davies Court has 9 reviews.
Felt more input to the residents could be done with activities to encourage independence. As it was a rehabilitation unit felt there was insufficient physiotherapy and encouragement to progress. meals were ok, but felt it could be better.
I was in the St Ledger unit for rehab for nearly six weeks. The accommodation was excellent the food very good and the staff were all brilliant and that includes everyone the domestics ,the physios ,the care staff ,shift leaders and the office staff all who made the stay very pleasant. Apparently we are not supposed to mention names which is fair enough though it would be unfair if I did because every member of staff was kind, considerate and helpful. Sometimes the staff were extremely busy but I understood there were other residents with more needs than me that needed attention .. I would have no hesitation in recommending Davies court St Ledger particularly particularly to anyone who was looking for respite / rehab after being in hospital. Many thanks to all involved. It was much appreciated
The staff on Laughton are wonderful. The care and love you give your residents is exceptional. Mum was in a poor state of health when she came to Davis Court from a previous care home. Your care and professionalism, under difficult conditions that Covid imposed, enabled mum to put on weight and progress from her wheelchair to being able to get around the home with her frame and allowed her some freedom, independence and dignity.
Mum could not have been looked after better and we really appreciated all the care you gave her. It has been a difficult time for the family but made much easier knowing she has been in the best of hands with everything she needed, knowing she was happy with you all. That has made such a difference to us.
Your support helped her get through some very difficult times, and her final days were one of peace and the care and attention you showed was always courteous and professional. We hope you realise what a difference you make to people’s lives
Every single staff member made my mum feel safe and cared for. For us as a family watching Mum actually blossom while she was receiving care says everything to me.
I have attended the home when staff members have been in the bedroom with my mum, not knowing I was in the doorway. The warmth and friendliness shown to her was amazing. I cannot praise the home or the staff highly enough. We finally got my mum home yesterday. We know that having received such good quality care she will continue her recovery with confidence.
Thank you.
My mum spent the last 6 years of her life at Davies Court with Alzheimer's. The care she received was amazing. The staff are so incredible and right up until the minute she died, they looked after her with genuine care and compassion. The place itself is clean, cosy and like a home from home. My mum's room was lovely and she had her own ensuite. She was well fed and always had clean clothes and as the disease progressed and she wasn't able to do much for herself, they bathed her, dressed her and always looked after her so well. This was especially comforting to me being 250 miles away, knowing that she was so well looked after. All care homes should be like Davies Court. My brother and I can't thank you enough.
My Mum has just spent the last nine years of her life in Davies Court. She was cared for 24/7. The staff were excellent, they couldn't do enough for her. They treat them as if they are their own parents which is lovely to see. The food and cleanliness were outstanding. Every dinnertime she had a freshly cooked meal and pudding. She was always dressed clean with fresh clothes on all the time. I highly recommend the home, I am actually going to miss all the staff. Thank you very much for all your care.
Wonderful care provided for my mother during her recent stay following a fall and treatment in the hospital. The kindness and efficiency of staff were exemplary. Thank you all so much.
I have just spent two weeks (holiday) at the St Leger wing and cannot praise the facility enough; clearly everyone is apprehensive about moving to temporary care but within two minutes I was settled and totally at ease. The standard of accommodation is second to none and the curious but very interesting layout of the home is a revelation. I don’t believe you could get better staff anywhere they could not do enough for you and are always smiling. I can’t mention names particularly because everyone I met was so helpful and charming.
I cannot praise the staff here enough from the managers to the cleaners on Firbeck wing, My Nana who is in her first stages of dementia is staying for respite and the staff have been amazing. They are always very friendly and helpful and just down to earth like you are chatting to friends which is how you like to feel while leaving someone you love with strangers. We have been able to take my niece and mingle with other residents and genuinely been made to feel at home.
It will be sad for my Nana to leave as everyone is amazing and I would not hesitate in recommending this home to anyone.
Well done everyone!
