Trying to get consistent visits is difficult and confusing and does not help with dementia residents deteriorating from lack of family support and visual recognition It’s been a difficult two years
However, since mum sadly required 24 hour Care and Pingley Court took over that Care my fears have been allayed.
Mum has been accepted, helped, cared for and respected in every way.
The staff go above and beyond ensuring everyone is comfortable, happy and busy doing something creational.
Mum does not always join in, she is encouraged but never forced to anything she doesn't want to do.
I have eaten with mum, a beautiful home cooked meal by the chef, had afternoon tea and just a cuppa. Nothing is too much trouble.
The home is clean, sanitised and fresh. Residents are protected from viruses where necessary and Pingley Court have gone above and beyond during the Covid 19 pandemic keeping relatives in the loop regarding lockdowns and visits.
I rest at night knowing mum is well cared for and respected in her own right as are the rest of the residents.
The home seems to be very well run and the staff are very kind and obliging. There seems to be a lot of activities going on and residents are encouraged to join in. The home itself is very welcoming and nicely decorated. My friend has settled quite well there.
It was a difficult time for all of us accepting mum could no longer manage on her own in her home, following another hospital admission we decided to look for some care for her on discharge. From my first contact with the manager at Pingley Court, I could not be happier with the efficiency and care of this wonderful team. My lovely mum is incredibly independent but slowly she has settled in and made lovely relationships with all the team and the other residents.
When possible mum gets to go out to a local garden centre or coffee shop and she loves to sit out on the patio. There are lots of activities and a little salon for hair and nails, she loves her Friday blow dry. Visiting is easy to arrange, the safety of the residents is paramount, and testing and PPE are all in place. My brother and I take mum out and we can visit her either in the room or in the pod. Pingley is clearly a well-run ship and the care staff are second to none. Thank you for looking after our precious mum.
Staff always very helpful, always so kind, and their smiles and laughter light up the room. The facility is always clean and smells nice; they also make a good cup of tea.
My brother went into care on the 21st December 2020. Since then, I have only been to his room once. When I visit, it is to a pod. What I have seen at the home is good. The staff are friendly, and I am hoping he will be taken out on trips to stimulate him. Some ratings I could not give an answer to. My brother is self-funding and does not know if it is value for money or not.
My dear mum has been a resident at Pingley Court Care Home for some time. She is quite a formidable character and isn't always happy to be helped and receive care. The staff there have created a wonderful relationship with her, using their warmth and good humour to get around most of the difficulties she presents. Undoubtedly the pandemic has presented its challenges as well and again the commitment to good care of the residents has remained unwaning.
Everything that could be done to keep everyone safe has been done to the highestdegree. There are always lots of fun activities to participate in and this is encouraged where appropriate. My sister and I travel some miles to visit our mum and this is always taken into consideration by the staff when we are able to visit. We are always warmly welcomed and we are also very well looked after. Visits can be emotional and very difficult and the staff recognise this and are always very kind and amenable.
A huge thank you to you all.
Mum went into Pingley Court mid-November for respite and is now a resident. Mum has flourished under the excellent care and kindness of the staff. She has gained weight, which was needed and no doubt this is down to good food. During these difficult times when we have been unable to visit, staff have kept us connected with video calls and social media. It has been lovely seeing photos of mum get involved in some of the activities on offer, especially the baking. A big thank you to all the staff at Pingley. So glad we found you.
Mum has settled in really well, all the staff are very caring and go out of their way to keep in contact with the family during this pandemic. Every aspect of mum's care has been well managed, and her overall health has greatly improved. She has also been able to take part in lots of activities which she did not have access to in her own home. We are so thankful that mum is safe, warm and content in a home which creates a family atmosphere.
Thank you, Jenny, for such a lovely review. The manager and the staff strive to deliver the best possible care and support to your loved ones in what has been a very challenging year for the care sector. They continue to be dedicated and are a credit to me, very proud to have such a great team of staff. Thank you again and I will be sure the share your review with the team at Pingley Court.
Such a wonderful, caring home for my mum. All the staff treat the residents as their own family and love and care for them accordingly. The manager is very proactive, enabling the residents to take part in a variety of events like craft making, singing, walks, baking, spa days and the list goes on. They follow strictly the government guidelines on COVID. Lastly, I know my mum is safe and well and would like to thank all the staff for taking care of her.
Thank you, Maria, for your heartfelt review. The manager along with her dedicated staff team always strive to deliver the best possible care and support at all times to all residents, something that I champion and the company bases itself on. Thank you again, your review is always shared and greatly appreciated in challenging times.
Really lovely home that has looked after our mother devotedly. Their proactive actions have enabled the home to be coronavirus free and the staff have gone the extra mile to offer fun and entertainment as well as loving care. Could not recommend more.
My sister has been in the care of Pingley Court Care Home for a long time know, I have cancer and can't see her. For Christmas I sent her a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates, I was told both the flowers and chocolates had been delivered as the order was from one shop. After speaking to my sister she told me nothing had been sent to her, the shop say otherwise and have proof of delivery. My sister complained, the box of flowers were found but after four days they were dead, the box of chocolates were never to be seen again. If I am still living and my sister is still in Pingley Court Care Home next year I shall give the £50 to a charity of my sister's choice.
The staff have been amazing over the last 16 months, that mum has been in there especially this last few weeks when she suddenly took a turn for the worse and sadly passed away. We knew that under these current circumstances she was in the best hands with people who cared greatly for her, this was shown by the way all the staff turned out and released balloons as we drove past on her final journey yesterday.
I honestly can’t thank the staff at Pingley Court enough for the excellent care they are providing to my mother who unfortunately has Alzheimer’s. The home has managed the Covid-19 pandemic in a caring professional manner keeping me updated and allowing me to visit mum safely. I think the manager and carers deserve a special mention they really do go above and beyond to make my mum as happy and settled as possible. I love the Facebook posts and all the effort all the staff go to entertain the residents at this very difficult time. From the bottom of my heart thank you to you all you really are hero’s xxx
Sadly mum passed away on the 25th July still being cared for with the love of a great group of girls, it was a sad time for us all as we never got to visit in over 18 weeks.
We planned the funeral so we could drive past the home and what a welcome she received, the girls lined the street with balloons it was really appreciated by the family. Thank you, girls, for the great care our mum received and especially the greatest send-off you could have given her.
The staff are absolutely amazing (all grades) and made the 11 months Mum was there some of the happiest times of her life. Mum laughed, joked and sang with the staff and nothing was too much trouble, person-centred doesn’t come close, they went above and beyond at all times.
When Mum passed, the staff supported me throughout to make sure I wasn’t alone. Thank you.
If you need a care home for a loved one, I can highly recommend Pingley Court. (I have been a manager of a home and know what I’m looking for) believe me, this is the best.
Well done to all, be proud.
Thank you Kim for the lovely words which mean a lot to myself and the team in such difficult circumstances. It was a pleasure to care for Mum for the time she was with us, wishing you all the best and when we are back open we look forward to welcoming you for a coffee when is safe to do so. Warm regards to all.
Finally, mum has settled very well and is happy and we feel assured she is being cared for in the best possible way.
The staff and management were amazing! They couldn’t do enough for you. The rooms are cosy and very homely.
Sadly my nan passed away before she could sample the vast array of activities they provide.
I would highly recommend this care home to anyone.
In these uncertain times, I'm so pleased Mum is in such a safe place.
I was really anxious about choosing the right one and getting it right for my dad and our family.
He has been a resident here since September and I have no doubt I chose the best.
