I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff involved in my fathers care throughout the recent fall and stroke diagnosis.The kindness, compassion and professionalism shown by each individual have been exceptional.The staff continued to support him with remarkable empathy, patience and dignity every day. What particularly stands out is seeing staff take the time to sit with my father when he was feeling anxious and confused following his stroke. The reassurance, kindness and patience they showed were invaluable. Not only to him but also our family. These small acts of kindness and genuine care make such a difference knowing he is being cared for by such dedicated individuals gives great peace of mind. Please pass on our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. Their commitment and compassion are truly appreciated and make a real difference to my father's wellbeing.

My mother has been in the care home for almost 3 years. She settled in well and the staff were always courteous & helpful. However, more recently, I have had a concern regarding a lack of communication with regards to issues with Mam. I have not been informed of medical issues and previous requests for appointments to be made for Mam in relation to opticians and hairdressers have not been actioned. I do feel Mam receives good care and there are many activities to join in with.

My father became a resident at Kirkwood Court at the start of February 2025 and as a family we couldn't be any happier with the care he is receiving within the care home. The staff and management always have a welcoming smile on their faces, the building is always spotlessly clean and my father, who is now 93 years old is being looked after with the utmost compassion and care by such wonderful, friendly caring staff. Thank you!

I would just like to say the quality of care for the residents at this home is first-class. My dad has been a resident for over 18 months and the staff are brilliant with him. The home is beautiful and gardens are lovely. The activity coordinator is fabulous (Dad baked his first cake, he's 90 next year). Nothing is a problem for the staff and they're always there to help. Thank you for caring for my dad as it's so reassuring knowing he is well looked after.

The big issue for our family was getting my aunt settled. She had lived alone for 40 years and coming into residential care was a very big change. Now in April, she is quite well integrated and starting to appreciate the activities and the companionship of other residents. In particular, she feels safe and comfortable.
Kirkwood Court is a fabulous care home. Staff are always courteous and kind. Noticeably a particular staff member always works her magic as an activity coordinator keeping everyone entertained. Never had an issue of any kind with my dad in this home.

The floor where my mum now lives at Kirkwood Court is a unique place. It is somewhere where one feels safe, can grow in different ways, have fun, enjoy friendships or be nurtured during challenging times. All the staff are exceptional. As Mum tells me every day when I call from Canada, where I now live, "everyone is so kind". Being here allows one to be the best version of themselves. Celebrating Mum's 100th Birthday here was the best.
