Review from Susan G (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 February 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our mother is currently a resident at Royston Court and has been for the past 3 years. The care she receives is wonderful! Staff are extremely patient and caring especially as mum can be a challenge at times. They work closely with the whole family and routinely keep us informed if mum is ill, needs vaccinations, medical attention, etc. A new manager was appointed in 2024 and the changes she has made to the Care Home are beautiful! The small touches with soft furnishings, plants, pictures, etc. that make it so cosy and homely providing a stimulating environment for all the residents and also a lovely place for our family on our weekly visits. Something that always touches my heart is how ALL the staff are able to use each resident's first names and no matter what they're doing they will always stop and make time to speak with the resident and their family. This alone is pure gold in my opinion! I would highly recommend Royston Court and thank them for the amazing job they do every day.

Overall Experience
Our dear mum was a resident for over a year here. She was quite a challenge and quite a character. She passed away at the home after an illness.
All of Mum's family want to thank all the team at Royston for the loving care they showed Mum at all times and especially in her last days. They were a tremendous support to us and we can’t thank them enough. What a caring professional team. Thank you.
