We were very happy with my parents stay at Cooksons court. The rooms, staff & food were all excellent. I'm not sure how much of their washing was done, but that may have been down to the fact my parents probably did not put their clothes out for washing! Wish there had been a bit more music whilst they were there (entertainment).
Dear Sharon, thank you for your review of your parents' stay at Cooksons Court - we are pleased to read that you were very happy with their time with us. Our in-house activities and entertainment schedule is shaped by the interests and preferences of those in our care, and we are always open to...

Mum was moved to Cooksons Court from hospital at my request. Although mum was there for a little under a month the care she received from day 1 was outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble from all staff and it made a very difficult time for us as a family bearable. The kindness support and dignity was of the highest standard.
Kind regards,
Cooksons Court
My experience coming to Cooksons Court has been so enjoyable, the home is very well run and very clean and the staff are so nice and helpful. I'm so happy my partner is staying here, she is in the best place and looked after very well.
Kind regards,

From the moment my husband was admitted to Cooksons Court for end of life care he was treated with kindness, care and dignity. He was kept clean and comfortable and nothing was too much trouble for any staff member treating him. The day he died the staff on duty couldn't have been kinder to me and my family. My husband looked peaceful when we left him in their capable hands. Thank you to everyone.
Kind regards,
Cooksons Court

Cooksons Court
I have been at Cooksons Court for a few days now to be with my Dad, Peter, who has been a resident here since April this year. As I am so far away in Australia, it has been wonderful getting to know the other residents and to see the beautiful interaction between them and the staff. For me, it has made me feel so much better knowing that Dad is looked after so well. We had Sophie come for lunch (my niece), and Tammy and the other staff members treated us to an amazing lunch and a sing song to finish.

What a fantastic place. Everyone is always welcoming & smiling as soon as you walk through the door. My sister-in-law has been in Cooksons Court for over 3 years. She has always had the utmost care. Nothing is too much trouble. We live 2 hrs away so don't get to see her very often. The staff always keep us informed fo everything that's going on. Every day theres different activities for the residents to take part in. We have just come back from their fabulous 10 year celebrations where all staff, residents family and friends were invited. Well done.
Thank you for your fantastic feedback for Cooksons Court! We are very glad to support your sister-in-law with the care she needs to live well, and are pleased to hear that you feel well-informed.
