Thank you for such lovely review. It was our pleasure to have you here and thank you for the good chats and the smiles. We hope we can do things even better in the future and it will be fantastic to have you again with us. With lots of love from all of us here at Valerian Court.

Valerian Court feels more like a luxury hotel than a care home, but the comfort and amenities are underpinned by staff who are skilled, capable and unfailing kind. My mum has been treated with compassion, encouragement and dignity. It was a great relief to have qualified staff close at hand from the nursing team. Now, she is safe and comfortable so I am at ease. Her room is lovely, fitted out with plenty of storage and every comfort, including an ensuite wet room. A wide range of enriching and enjoyable activities are available as well as the in house hair salon, beautician and hand made cakes in the coffee lounge. The manager is very diligent, accessible and knowledgeable, and he puts residents, family and staff at ease with his warm manner. This ethos permeates throughout VC creating a very positive, calm atmosphere where everyone strives for excellence.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. Your mother is an example for many of what being genuine kind means. It is a great pleasure to care for your mother and since she came at Valerian Court she made a lot of us smile and laugh. We are delighted to hear that you love our beautiful home facilities and we hope your mum will continue to enjoy her new home.

As a family we were very worried about moving mum to a care home but we had exceeded what we could do to look after mum well at home. The team at the Valerian have been sensitive, supportive to the whole family, the level of personal care as well as medical support has been great, hugely beneficial for mum's wellbeing and so much effort is put into ensuring there is a calendar of activities which engages everyone and helps to build friendships. The staff have sourced new equipment when needed to help ensure mum is able to participate as much as possible. The staff take time to chat. And all seem to genuinely enjoy their job. There is a lovely atmosphere in the home. We enjoy the roof terrace and socialising up there, it really doesn't feel like a care home at times. Cinema, hairdressers, nail bar. I would highly recommend.
Thank you very much for taking the time to write such a lovely review. To care for your mother is an honour for our team and every day she is a living lesson for all of us. I will pass your kind comments to our colleagues.

My father spent his last few weeks at Valerian Court. Whenever I visited, I found great care being delivered with empathy and kindness. Having 24hr nursing care really helped to ensure that any health/pain issues could be dealt with promptly. There is a friendly, happy atmosphere in this home, with the sound of laughter echoing down the corridors. During his time with them the staff helped organise a big family celebration. This was really memorable for the whole family, and their efforts created memories for our family to treasure. I would not hesitate to recommend.

Valerian Court is so much more than a 'Care Home' it's staff and particularly the Manager, have made such a difference to our family when mum needed to be cared for. We now feel fully supported by a team of professionals as they get to know mum, providing support and care which was something that we couldn't do 24 hours a day. We always feel welcome when visiting and it's so nice to see the activities and participation of both staff and residents. The little touches by the chef bringing around ice lollies accompanied by a jingle on his mobile made me smile!

We were made to feel very welcome by the lovely staff and residents, who seemed to enjoy the experience and be happy in their surroundings.

My mother was living at Valerian Court for a year and a half. During that time we noticed the care patience and affection she received. We were able to relax knowing her needs were more than taken care of and that she was treated with dignity. There are some great people working there and there was always a warm welcome. So glad we found this place for mum.
We are grateful to have been part of your mum's last chapter of her life. We all love her and will miss her dearly. Thank you for your very kind words, I will pass them to our amazing team.

Valerian Court provides excellent care for the residents, and communication with me as her visiting relative. The activities provided are inclusive and diverting. The staff are unfailingly friendly and polite, from reception, to nursing staff and carers, and the food provided is regular and for the most part nutritious. There is no limitation on visiting hours and I always feel welcome.
Thank you for your kind words but most importantly for being part of the family here at Valerian Court. We are thrilled to have mum here and her fantastic sense of humour brightens our days. Your feedback is an opportunity to work hard to make mum's experience even better in the future. I hope the new menu will bring more variety and suit mum's preferences
The staff were so very kind and attentive.
Sadly, my wife was unable to take part in the range of activities due to her condition.

Following an unpleasant experience in hospital, I wanted Mum to have a positive respite stepping stone, before returning home.
I visited and had a full tour and discussion with the manager. I was so impressed with the interaction he had with every resident and the care staff on his excellent team.
Mum had two weeks respite residency and enjoyed her stay, the friends that she made, the activities and the wonderful care she received.
The whole experience from the moment she walked through the door to the moment she walked out, in tears, as she had such a lovely time, was excellent.
The resident rooms, facilities, and communal spaces are stylish, bright, fresh, and comfortable, feeling like a home from home.
All the staff at Valerian Court, Reception, Nursing and Care Assistants, Housekeeping, Maintenance and the Kitchen/Dining crews are professional, compassionate and caring.
Thank you so much for the kind words. It means the world to us to know that Mum had such a good time here. Once we welcome you into our family, you will always be part of it. We hope that your mother gets better at home with the support you've arranged. We will be thrilled to welcome you to our home in the future.

We paid our first visit to the Valerian care home in Didcot today to see a friend who moved there recently. We were so warmly welcomed by the lady who was in reception. She did everything she could to make us feel at home, even making a cup of tea and bringing it to the room where we were visiting. She even found a bowl of water for our little dog! We met several members of staff while we were there and they were all so kind and helpful. It was lovely to see our friend being well cared for in clean, attractive surroundings.
Thank you for such a lovely review. We pride ourselves that we are a home for our residents but also for their loved ones. We are always happy to welcome the little fury friends as they bring joy and smiles on our faces. I will pass your kind words to our colleague in reception.

We've all been made welcome at all times and it certainly feels very homely.
All the staff we've met so far have been lovely - Two ladies at reception always provide a warm welcome; Two carers in particular and the care team have looked after Dad so well; The registered and deputy manager and the management team have been so helpful.
When we leave Dad after a visit we know he will be very well cared for and that's a great feeling. Thanks all.
Thank you so much for such a lovely review. It is a great honour to look after your father and to welcome you into our family. I will share your kind words of appreciation with our colleagues.

The staff were caring and professional. My father-in-law was well cared for, even when confused at difficult times. He settled down really well.
During his stay, he actually improved with a marked improvement in his ability to communicate, going from almost non-verbal to being able to talk to me on the phone!
I would be happy to use Valerian Court Care Home again.
Thank you very much for your kind words. We were honoured to care for your Father-in-Law and we are delighted to hear that you felt that his respite stay has been so beneficial for him. We can't wait for him to join us again in the future. You are always welcome to come and say hello and have a cup of tea with us.
A modern, clean, and well-appointed facility. All staff engagements have been professional, friendly, and most important, caring. It's early days for my mother but we feel we have made the right choice.

I have been volunteering at Valerian Court for about a year and my first impressions of a warm and caring environment have only been reinforced. The reception team are always cheerful and friendly and the residents are always happy and relaxed. I haven't seen many of the care staff but those I have met are so caring in their approach to and care of their residents treating them with kindness, dignity, and respect. I look forward to my times with the residents doing craft work or knitting or just chatting and always have a feeling it has been time well spent.
Thank you for your kind support for our residents. The local community involvement is very important to us and having you as part of our big family has helped to enrich the lives of our residents. Our residents are enjoying the knit and natter sessions and looking forward to many more mornings with you. Thank you.

I found the decor amazing and facilities very good but I found/experienced a lack of caring from the staff. They were doing what was required.
