Mayflower Court

My widowed mother (94) has recently spent a week's convalescence at Mayflower Court after a number of periods in hospital. This was her first experience of residential care. Both she and her family were impressed by the welcome and reassurance of all the staff, the standard of the premises and the quality of care. It is good to know that convalescent care of this standard is available and fortunately, on this occasion, at relatively short notice.

As a young active 69 year old, living alone but facing a major operation, I was anxious about moving into a care home. However, after the initial show around I knew Mayflower Court was the right 'convalescence home' for me. The home was spotless, the gardens were a joy to walk around or just to sit and admire, the food was superb - in fact, I asked the chef for recipes! And finally, but certainly not least the caring staff were just superb. Patient, gentle, kind, very caring are just a few words to describe them - always professional. Just one comment - please use the word 'convalescent' in your marketing/advertising! Mayflower Court - not to be faulted.

We are looking forward to the summer when we can take our friend for a stroll around the beautiful gardens. We are so grateful to know she is safe and secure with all the attention she deserves.

I would recommend Mayflower court to anyone looking care as they helped my mum back to her normal self.

He has moved into Mayflower Court and has settled extremely well and is happy. It is a delight to see the improvement in his well-being and happiness. The home is a lovely environment and the staff treat him with such dignity acknowledging the man behind the dementia.

My mother was resident here for 12 days and the staff were excellent in keeping my mother stimulated and involved in all events during her stay. The staff made sure she was introduced to other residents as soon as she arrived. Her room was excellent with adequate room for her to stay if she wanted time to herself. Thanks to all the staff for their attendance while my mother was there.

Mum is very happy here. She says the food is wonderful and the staff friendly and helpful. Spotlessly clean and mum appreciates her morning wash and shower. All in all a great relief to both the sons that she is here and settled. Many thanks to all of the staff.

I moved into Mayflower Court in June. What a fantastic home. On moving in my ability to walk was very minimal, now with help and encouragement, I can walk a little further which is great. The staff have been fantastic in looking after me. My wife moved in with me, so as a couple we are well looked after, with great meals every day. Cheery staff, what more can we ask for.

My father moved into Mayflower Court followed by my mother who loves the home. The staff are very friendly and lovely. The care is fantastic and always willing to help. The home is fun with activities, fish and chips, ice creams which they love, it is great to find a care home which is everything I would want for my parents.

As a resident of Mayflower court, I can say it is lovely. The staff are friendly, kind and will do anything to help. I couldn't wish for a better home. The care is outstanding!! My days are busy with a variety of activities. So not a chance of getting bored.

So good to enter a care home with a welcoming receptionist. The decor is all bright and light, gives a cheerful atmosphere.

Having cared for my mother for the last eight years, I was very concerned about placing her in a care home. However due to her severe dementia it became impossible to care for her at home. I have been amazed at how well she has settled in and I have absolutely no concerns about the way she is being cared for. All her needs are met and above all she is being treated kindly and with respect. I cannot fault any of the staff here.

Settled in very quickly into the home. She chose her room- she loves the colour scheme, very restful. The staff are very helpful- in her own words she says, "You cannot fault them- there is no pressure." She loves the food and enjoys the company of her friends. The relief in finding a care home where she feels so safe and at home knowing she is taken care of to a very good standard has lifted a great pressure off the family. We visit often- we find the home has a very pleasant atmosphere.

My Mum and I highly recommend Mayflower Court and Mum will definitely be popping in to visit her new friends. She is planning another 2 week break.

Mayflower Court will be our choice as it will not only provide all the care and services that Mum needs but the style of accommodation and the attitude of the staff suggests to us that the individual needs and personality traits of each resident are respected and accommodated.

My sister settled in well and is now as happy as she could be. The carers are amazing, except for one who was very brusque with my sister one late afternoon, because my sister had messed herself a bit. The other carers are amazing people. My only other gripe is getting in! Sometimes I buzz and buzz and no reply. Not good in the winter.

The staff were very attentive and caring. The home was clean and felt more like a hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed my respite care.

Staying for two weeks respite care.

I would highly recommend this care home.

Highly recommended - thinking of reserving my own place!!
