Review from A H (Resident / Service User) published on 17 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

My mother has just celebrated her 105th birthday at Cooksons Court. When on her 100th birthday she took up residency - we never thought she would make a year, never mind a further 5!!

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.

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.

Review from Oliver R (Son of Resident) published on 16 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
We've just celebrated my mothers third Christmas within Cooksons Court. Another year of simply excellent care.
Their approach is that Cooksons is not a workplace, but a home for the residents who live there, and this really shows in the personal touches and kindness of the staff.
As a family, we cannot thank the team here at Cooksons enough. We see the carers and nurses everyday, but cannot underestimate the work of everyone from the admin team (who keep the wheels turning) through to the cleaners (who keep such incredible standards) in keeping our mothers home so safe and secure.

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.

Reply from Kristie Chubb, Somerset Care at Cooksons Court

We are so pleased to read your lovely review for Cooksons Court - thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We pride ourselves on creating a homely environment for our residents, where they can feel comfortable and settled, whilst receiving the care they need.

Review from Malcolm H (Resident / Service User) published on 15 January 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Reply from Kristie Chubb, Somerset Care at Cooksons Court

Thank you for sharing your fantastic feedback about your stay at Cooksons Court. We are so pleased that you had a great experience which has helped you to improve your mobility and regain your independence. May we wish you all the best for the future, and say what a pleasure it was to care for you.

Review from John C (Son of Resident) published on 13 January 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I would just like to congratulate the whole team at Cooksons Court, for their everyday commitment to providing a first class service. This is from the receptionists, through the admin and management team, the nursing staff, the catering team, events staff, cleaners and by no means least, the carers.
My father has been well looked after by all involved and has said on numerous occasions, how much he enjoys it there and is very appreciative of the help he has been given.

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.

Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at Cooksons Court

Thank you for sharing such amazing feedback for the whole team at Cooksons Court. It means the world to us that you father feels happy and at home with us, and that his loved ones feel reassured that he is receiving the best care. Thank you so much for your kind words.

Review from Alison B (Respite Resident) published on 24 October 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

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.

Every member of staff was so kind and caring to her and also our family. We could relax and know she was fine and happy. Huge thanks to them all.

Review from Sheila L (Respite Resident) published on 16 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Staff were generally very helpful. The call button needs at all times to be worn around the neck, at times it was left close by but not reachable. Food at times could have been hotter. Bed comfortable. Exercise again was helpful, more perhaps required regularly. The occupational and physio staff were all very good and kept me informed of what was happening.

Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at Cooksons Court

Dear Sheila, many thanks for submitting a review for Cooksons Court. We are always seeking to further improve the experience for our residents and those staying with us for respite, so thank you for your suggestions.

Review from Geoffrey C (Husband of Resident) published on 11 April 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
I am very impressed by the standard of accommodation, the care provided to my wife, and the professional medical care provided to my beloved partner.
For the first time in many years I have begun to have some confidence and hope for an improvement in my wife's welfare and physical improvement. Prior to hospital the service and support had been unsatisfactory.

Could I suggest that attention is paid to personal effects including clothing; items sometimes go missing or other residents' effects turn up.

Reply from Somerset Care, Somerset Care at Cooksons Court

Thank you for your wonderful comments about your wife's care at Cooksons Court. We are so pleased that you are now hopeful for an improvement in her health and wellbeing. Thank you also for your feedback about the personal effects of residents. We do everything possible to take care of personal...
