Review from Emma N (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 6 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother-in-law had a fall before Christmas and ended up in hospital then into Cooksons Court for a fair few weeks.
We cannot thank all the staff enough for taking such excellent care of her.
We took comfort during the current times knowing that she was safe and well looked after.
She even came home with painted finger and toe nails which she loved.

They are all stars!

Overall Experience

Everything was strange, but with excellent care and assistance from all staff, I felt comfortable, even when in pain. The physio team did and gave me so much help which gave me confidence. Food not always to my liking as I prefer vegetables not Al Dente.

All the staff have been so caring and kind. Whatever job they were doing, you couldn't have asked for better service. They always helped you and nothing was too much trouble for them, with happy smiling faces.

Review from Heather R (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 August 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

When my Mum entered Cooksons Court earlier this year she was frail after hospital stays and depressed. I was very concerned for her safety as she is completely immobile and was living alone. Within a couple of days, she was a different person, rosy-cheeked and had her sense of humour back. She has settled in really well and thoroughly enjoys the activities, especially the visiting singers and church services. Thank you!

Review from Caroline O (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 March 2019 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
The nurses at Cooksons Court are highly professional, skilled and sensitive, especially in relation to care at the end of life.
My mum and I were able to spend the last few weeks of her life in a bright, quiet, private and safe environment in a comfortable room with loving, gentle but diligent care from all staff at the home.
When I went home at night I could completely trust my mum to their care, knowing I would be called immediately if needed.
The manager of Cooksons Court is totally committed to ensuring all aspects of residents' care are the best they can be and inspires confidence.
I will never be able to express what Cooksons Court has given me and my mum.

I am so grateful.

Overall Experience

I stayed on the rehab unit for a week, the whole experience was amazing. I cannot thank the physio team enough for their commitment and kindness they showed me at this difficult time. Without this fantastic place and the care and kindness of the team that worked there, I would not have been as well as I am now.

Review from Tim S (Son of Resident) published on 17 August 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

A lovely facility well presented with nice furnishings and fittings. Most relevant are the staff. All of whom, from the cleaner to the nursing staff and throughout all members, nothing seems to be too much trouble. They are all happy, smiling and friendly. This has been a tonic to my mum and without doubt has aided her recovery. Cookson Court is more akin to a well managed hotel and is a credit to all who work there.

Review from Jean H (Respite Resident) published on 23 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I was resident at Cooksons Court, first in the Re-enablement unit and then for some weeks in the nursing home for respite care. In both sections, I found the accommodation comfortable and attractive and the food generally well cooked and attractive. The staff, in general, were cheerful, friendly, polite and helpful. But I feel that lack of funding and consequent understaffing hampered their willingness to assist on several occasions. (As if you needed telling).

Review from C T (Son of Resident) published on 9 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I believe this to be the finest care home in the area and probably one of the best anywhere. Modern, friendly, comfortable, reassuring with very caring and approachable staff at all levels.

Gripes? Cable for call button too short didn't reach to the chair. Pendant would be better. Air mattress not suitable for rehab believe they will be replaced on that floor.

My stay has been fantastic could bot have been in a better place, all due to the carers and surroundings. The staff are very friendly and polite even at times when they were short staffed they always found the time for a quick chat.

Review from J W (Nephew of Resident) published on 13 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

This nursing home is modern, extremely well equipped and displays a culture of high standards in every aspect of it's organisation. The staff appeared to know nothing but courtesy and professionalism towards both visitors and residents, equipped with plenty of laughter and humour. I was particularly impressed with the level of care and attention given to my aunt (90 years), albeit for only a few weeks before her death.

Review from Jan C (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My mother was placed in Cooksons Court whilst awaiting an assessment following hospital discharge. She had dementia but settled in well. The staff were caring and encouraged her to talk about her life. The food was excellent and mum could choose what she wanted to eat. The facilities are amazing and activities for residents are varied and encouraged participation. I felt happy when mum became permanent and they made me feel comfortable with her being there. Mum sadly passed away on 1st March 2016.

Preston Park House has moved to Cooksons Court last September. It is fabulous! The staff could not be more helpful. My sister died there yesterday and they were so attentive. They could not have done more. You should have a fabulous box to tick.
