Everyone has been so kind and helpful. No complaints whatsoever. I would recommend Cooksons Court to any of my friends who needed help. Thank you so much for my break, especially over Christmas, it has been a great help. What would we do without the help you provide? Thank you so much. With all my love.

Overall Experience

Where to start? My wife spent the last months of her life here. The staff are absolutely amazing, I feel that they welcomed my wife and treated her as their family, she was loved and looked after in an amazing way from start to finish, as like myself and all other visitors. I really cant thank them enough, so supportive and helpful, kept us all informed of day to day changes all the time, more importantly showed my wife love and care. No words can ever express how amazing the staff are, even down to the cleaners, thank you so much.

Review from E B (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 January 2024 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mum has been living at Cooksons Court for nearly 5 years and sees this very much as her home - somewhere to continue living her life and not just a 'care home.' The staff are amazing across the board - always a smile, always there for the little things as well as the big things. It's difficult trusting others to look after your loved ones on a day to day basis when you're not able to, however when we leave Mum we do so knowing she's happy and cared for.

Review from S P (Son of Resident) published on 11 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 86-year-old mother spent a little over a year in Cooksons Court as a resident. During this time, the entire staff showed such kindness, humour and professionalism in looking after her that I had absolutely no concerns about her day-to-day care whatsoever. Mum thoroughly enjoyed the food and often commented on how lovely it was. Her warm, clean and comfortable room had patio door access to the well-maintained garden. The home's activities were frequent and entertaining, so much so that I had to plan my visits around them, lest Mum miss some! Sadly, Mum passed away after a short illness. The kindness, respect and compassion shown to her and the family by the staff during this stressful time was superb. I can’t thank everyone at Cooksons Court enough.

Review from Barbara G (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 June 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My 92-year-old mother was sent to Cookson's Court, rehab unit (Pippin) by the hospital and initially, she was very reluctant to go into 'one of those homes'. She quickly changed her mind as the staff were all friendly and helpful and the food was very good apparently. She was only there for about 10 days but in that time she changed her mind about how she would be treated and the level of service that would be provided should she ever feel the need to become a resident.

Review from Ricard P (Son of Resident) published on 20 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother really enjoyed her time Cooksons Court, she enjoyed the social side combined with the entertainment. The food was really good, if she didn't fancy what was on the menu, they would get her something different. Sadly Mum's stay was never going to be a long stay and she was very ill but the staff were excellent with her and treated her with great care and dignity. Everlasting thanks to all the staff from my family and me.

Review from Angela H (Wife of Resident) published on 22 May 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
After a successful clinical outcome at the hospital after a stroke and subsequent Covid, - Cooksons Court rehabilitation centre proved to be an excellent experience and motivator for my husband. He is now home and making daily progress.
The communal areas are spotless and homely.
The physiotherapists, nurses, HCA‘s and office staff are friendly and reassuring.
The whole package from the amazing doctor at the hospital to Cooksons Court confirms my lifelong belief in our NHS and care services.

Thank you, everyone.

Review from Julie M (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother has been extremely well looked after, I think she does feel very satisfied with her care. The only feedback I would say is that when she arrived here from the hospital at short notice, I was unable to be there and it would really help if relatives had a point of a designated person they can speak to as I didn't know what the score was and didn't like to both busy staff.

Review from H M (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Mum spent nearly two years in Cooksons but receiving nursing care. Although she suffered with advanced dementia, she always commented on her enjoyment of meals, the quality of her care and her surroundings.

We think that throughout Mum's journey from pre-admission from hospital to end-of-life care, Somerset Care should be credited with excellent care provision.

Review from Rachel D (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 December 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
Mum was admitted for palliative nursing care from hospital. I cannot recommend Cooksons Court highly enough, and as a social worker, I have seen lots of homes.

The room was clean and bright but the care she received promoted dignity and a personal touch, I felt I could trust them to do a good job. The gold standard meant that when she died, everything was arranged and so caringly.

Review from Wendy K (Respite Resident) published on 8 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The food I rate six out of ten and the service was excellent. My mattress was uncomfortable. My room/bathroom was kept beautifully clean and so was everywhere. The staff were extremely helpful and cheerful over all levels. Thank you. Excellent. P.S. my waitress was replaced as soon as I complained.

Reply from Somerset Care, at Cooksons Court

Dear Wendy, many thanks for taking the time to write a review following your respite stay at Cooksons Court. We were so pleased to read your praise for our helpful team and the cleanliness of the home. We understand that a comfortable mattress is a very individual preference and we're glad to be...

My 98-year-old mum spent several weeks at the rehab unit at Cooksons Court Care Home following hospital stays after falls. She was treated with kindness, respect and dignity. All the staff are a credit to Somerset Care. They went over and above to secure a permanent place in a residential care home nearer to her family and their devotion to their resident is second to none.

My mother was admitted to Cooksons Court Care Home for the final weeks of her life. The staff were attentive and very kind. Nothing seemed too much trouble. We were so grateful that she didn't have to return to hospital but received compassionate and professional end-of-life care in a pleasant, homely place. Thank you.
