Over a twelve-month period, my wife has been resident. During the long covid, it was difficult to visit easily and even more time was taken out was not good. In the time since I have noticed there hasn't as a routine, been much occupational therapy, rather time spent encouraging the resident to sit and often time are asleep.

Staff are really helpful and friendly very occasionally certain ones are abrupt and seem angry whether personal problems or staffing levels causing stress. Dad can be hard work but on the whole, it's because he's frustrated. He enjoys joining in and needs a lot of encouragement so it's lovely to see the different activities. He gets food options for his personal taste. The chef is kind and adapts the food choices.

The staff at Dukes Court who look after the residents are generally very good. My mother was a resident for almost six years and seemed to be reasonably happy considering her advanced dementia. But be very aware, the senior management's aim in life is to extract as much money as possible from the residents, with eye-watering annual increases in the fees and in my case when my mother passed there were no cards, flowers or representation at mums funeral, just an incorrect final bill and even emails asking for soap and general toiletries one month after mum passed away. We as a family are extremely disappointed with the management's business model so we would definitely not recommend this home to anyone on this basis as I have already stated. The people who do the caring for very small wages are excellent.

Firstly I would like to thank you for the comment you made regarding the staff, however, I am saddened to read that you were disappointed with the business model, and would like to apologise that you did not receive representation at the funeral however, we did pay our respect to your mother when the funeral procession stopped outside the home. This is something we have always carried out. Please accept my sincere apologies that we could not attend and for any distress caused. The conditions of residency including costings are discussed prior to admission and reflected in the contract.
Your mother was a resident of Dukes Court for over five years and we have lots of fond memories to cherish of her.

I visited many care homes in our search for a permanent home for Mum. Out of all the homes I visited, Dukes Court Care Home was the only one that took the time for an in-depth interview before viewing. I met the manager and could tell she was passionate about caring for her residents and the staff are well trained. Mum came to try it out and is extending her stay as she gets used to the big change. We are thrilled with the staff, the level of care, the way they get to know Mum and her interests, try new activities for her to suit her interests. They post pictures and videos on their Facebook page. Any concerns I might have, are dealt with professionally and quickly. Mum loves the food, the room is very nice and just right. Mum feels listened to and respected. I have had honest, informative meetings with staff that help me communicate with Mum better and I feel like we are all a team working for Mum's best interests. I feel relieved that Mum is well looked after and respected. Incredible!

I have been the home manager for 3 years now, and I am incredibly proud to be the Home Manager at Dukes Court and feel truly privileged to lead such a compassionate, dedicated, and talented team. Every day, we are committed to creating a home where residents feel safe, valued, respected, and supported to live life to the fullest. It is a privilege to be part of so many special moments and to make a positive difference to the lives of the people who call Dukes Court home.
With over 20 years of experience in health and social care, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of roles, each of which has shaped my passion for delivering exceptional, person-centred care. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to ensuring that older people are treated with dignity, kindness, and respect, while being supported to maintain their independence and continue enjoying the things that matter most to them.
As Home Manager, my vision is to create a warm, welcoming, and vibrant community where every resident feels a true sense of belonging. I firmly believe that outstanding care is built on meaningful relationships, genuine compassion, and taking the time to understand each individual. By getting to know our residents, their life stories, interests, preferences, and achievements, we are able to provide personalised care that celebrates who they are and supports them to continue living a fulfilling life.
Supporting and developing our team is something I am deeply passionate about. I believe that when colleagues feel valued, inspired, and empowered, they provide the very best care for our residents. Creating a positive, inclusive workplace where everyone feels appreciated is incredibly important to me, and I take great pride in fostering a culture of kindness, teamwork, and continuous learning.
Outside of work, I have a real passion for interior design and creating beautiful spaces. I also love travelling, experiencing different cultures, and discovering new places to eat with family and friends.
I look forward to welcoming you to Dukes Court and showing you everything that makes our home such a wonderful place to live, work, and visit. We are incredibly proud of the warm, friendly community we have created and would be delighted to welcome you into our Dukes Court family.
