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.

On visiting our friend on a weekly basis both management and staff always give us a personal and cheerful welcome. Feel included in Cooksons Court family when invited to participate in activities and we enjoy the refreshment facilities available to visitors in the foyer.

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.

Its just a lovely home nothing too much trouble for staff food really good overall very good.

The rooms are comfortable but storage space could be better. The carers are excellent and very helpful. On the whole the staff are efficient and very pleasant. The food is of very high quality and plenty of choices.There could be more activities in the afternoon. I am lucky to be involved in organsing some of the activities eg quizzes, karaoke and especially with the gardening

Cooksons Court is a pleasant place to live in. The rooms are spacious with large windows and have views across the garden. Infact the all round garden is well maintained with relaxing views. The staff are very friendly and always smile when you meet them. The residents are also very friendly towards each other. The activities are suitable for most people with Bingo being the most popular.

I have been here in Cooksons Court for 5 1/2 years and I have been very looked after very well. I am very happy and I wouldn't be anywhere else.

All the staff have shown her great respect, kindness and understanding. Cannot thank the whole team for showing her the greatest of care, with so many thanks.

Thank you all, each and everyone - for their kind and friendly support and help.

All the staff have been very nice to my brother and very kind. The home itself is very nice, very clean. Unfortunately my brother does not want to leave his room as he is much younger than the other residents.

I feel well looked after.

Good.

Very efficient staff, always cheerful and competent. Good atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming. All nursing care needs met with exceptional high standards. Very pleased and grateful to be welcomed into the home and treated so well. Lovely team and felt part of a family.

From the moment we entered the building we were greeted with smiles, everyone is friendly and helpful. The care staff are excellent and look after my mother in law with respect and dignity. We know she is safe and being looked after. All the staff at Cooksons are friendly and work hard. It is an excellent nursing home.

All would agree, we'd rather be in our own homes in our later years. But, as someone who sees the hard work, kindness and care of the people running Cooksons, I would choose this home for myself if I couldn't be in my own.

All the staff on Pippin floor were polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble to make my stay comfortable. The staff were outstanding, especially the physios who actively encouraged me to undertake physio exercises to improve all aspects of my mobility and get me back on my feet and getting my independence back. I was always treated with dignity and respect in all aspects of my care.

It is also very reassuring for my brother and I, as well as the rest of dad's family and friends, to know he is being cared for and looked after, by such a great team of people.

Cooksons Court provided me with enough privacy and company to aid my recovery. I had really good input from the physios and occupational therapists, as well as nurses. It was lovely being allowed to have my pet black Labrador visit as well as lots of my friends. The food was delicious and it was pleasant being able to sit at the dining room for lunches.

After coming from the hospital, I could not have been more impressed by the care I received at Cooksons Court. The helpfulness of the staff was of such a high standard. No one ever liked to spend time in healthcare but it is a home-from-home at Cooksons Court. Thank you.

Our Dad has spent several months stuck in hospital because he needed mobility rehabilitation in order to get home. During the hospital stay, he had declined mentally and physically. Largely due to the stressful environment, he was thrown into. Cooksons Court was like a peaceful haven. Instantly he relaxed and his overall well-being improved. He was able to make progress with it in order to successfully return home.
