Russell Churcher Court is always warm, clean and tidy and well looked after when visiting. Staff are friendly and welcoming and always have the time to answer any queries you may have. The meals are of high quality and there is a varied menu each day. Activities are available daily so that there is
always something to do and various outings also take place throughout the year.
Mum has been a resident here for almost 3 years and is very happy.

I never wanted to put my lifetime partner into a care, but after having a look round Russell Churcher Court i was able to make the right choice for him. The staff are amazing nothing seems to much trouble for them. Thankyou to everyone.

My mother recently moved to Russell Churcher Court. She was welcomed with a bunch of flowers and many friendly staff. She was struggling emotionally after a series of falls and feeling very 'out of sorts'. As a family, we have been pleased to see her smiling, engaging & regaining her sense of
humour! The staff team have been supportive, available to answer any questions; the general ethos is resident-focused and welcoming. My mother has her own room, with ensuite shower/bathroom facilities, and she loves to make use of the large conservatory area. She enjoys the daily newspaper and also the hair salon. We feel very fortunate to have found such a lovely home for our mother.

From mum first arriving in February 2025 the consideration and person centred thoughtfulness has been exceptional. Russell Churcher always considers mum as an individual.
The support for both her and her family have resulted in mum flourishing and thriving.
The brilliant support had been from
every layer; cleaners, laundry, carers, activity team, kitchen, reception, office, manager and CEO.
Russell Churcher is a safe, welcoming, caring and nurturing place.

We were slightly anxious about moving Mum into residential care; however, so far, she has settled in so well. The staff are caring and so friendly, always including her family. Nothing seems to be too much trouble.

From the moment I entered the residence, I was welcomed warmly in a genuine manner, this was the care with all the staff I met. Everyone was friendly, helpful, professional and clearly committed to working with the residents. Nothing was too much trouble for staff, they showed endless patience and
were fully supportive to my aunt and other residents in every way. The home has a happy atmosphere, I can't think of anywhere else that I would want my aunt to receive care in.

My Nan moved in a few weeks ago and I cannot fault anything. The staff are all amazing, so kind and helpful. They cannot do enough for their residents. She is checked on regularly to see how she is and to see whether she needs anything. I feel that Nan is safe and well cared for. She is happier than
I have seen her for a long time and has settled in quickly. Nan likes all the staff and hasn't stopped talking about how wonderful the food is!
Facilties are great, and although at this time Nan hasn't chosen to participate, there are lots of planned activities.
I cannot recommend Russell Churcher Court enough. This was definitely the right place for Nan.
Thank you so much to all the staff for making this such an easy adjustment for her. What an amazing team.

On Tuesday 11th February 2025 myself and my husband went to visit my friend and our eyes nearly popped out, what a beautiful fantastic place so very clean and all the staff were so welcoming and friendly nothing is too much trouble, my friend never wanted to leave her own home but she is so happy to
be at Russell Churcher Court, as she has met so many new friends what with all the entertainment they have. Meals are out of this world, myself and my husband would like to say a very big thank you for everything you have done and continue to do. God bless you all.

Sadly we had to make the decision to our dad into a residential home due to no longer being able to look after him at home. After looking at Russell Churcher Court we know that this would be the right place. It's bright, clean and smells nice. All the staff stopped to say hello.
Dad has been here
for a few months now and has really settled into to his new surroundings and has a few favourites already.

My Mum has been at Russell Churcher Court for over a year and she is very happy there. The staff and carers are lovely, cheerful, and very welcoming. The level of care is above and beyond what our family was expecting. There are lots of activities to keep Mum occupied and she has been encouraged to
make her room very homely and
fill it with her beloved house plants. I can't recommend Russell Churcher Court highly enough!

I can't speak highly enough of Russell Churcher & the staff for the level of service my father receives. Today I received a call from a member of the staff, my father was worried about a communication he had received from the local council. She contacted me immediately & assisted my father as he
explained things & calmed him down, my father's care home is in Gosport Hampshire & I live in Scotland. She helped my father with passing on the information & checked that all the details had verbally been passed, she then scanned the document & sent them to me & I managed to sort things out. Because of that particular staff member's immediate response to my father's slight distress, we were able to get things sorted quickly & I cannot thank her enough for her focus on my father's situation & the positive "can do" attitude she has toward the residents living in Russell Churcher Court. In fact, I cannot thank enough all the staff at Russell Churcher Court for their positive commitment to the residents.

The staff try their hardest to help and encourage residents to join in activities, sometimes it feels that those who stay in their rooms due to mental health issues are a bit forgotten.
18 September 2024
I visited my friend, her room was clean and tidy. All the staff were very friendly and said hello to me and my friend. I went to see my friend about 11:00 am and stayed until lunchtime then walked her down to the dining room where everything was set up for lunch. It's always a pleasure to visit the
home.
09 April 2024
Such a bright, clean and welcoming place! Every member of staff is friendly, approachable and caring. My mother is blind and no effort has been spared to ease her transition into this, for her, new environment. As a family, we feel able to trust the home and its staff to care for Mum and encourage
the best from her.
13 October 2023
Staff are all pleasant and friendly. My father needs to be encouraged more proactively to leave his room and spend time with other residents. Need more attention to personal care: daily shave, face and hand wash after each meal. Do activities with him in his room if he doesn't want to engage outside
of his room. Staff to ensure that they help with his meals, cutting food up and placing food within easy reach of him.

A very pleasant place to visit.
11 July 2023
I was welcomed politely on my arrival. The carers were excellent with my mother, as she was a little under the weather. When I first saw her, there were three carers tending to her. They have a great rapport with Mum. Everywhere was clean. The team all seem invested in their work.

I find that the atmosphere in the home is very good. The staff are very cheerful and helpful and make me welcome to any activities that they organise.

My 83-year-old mother was receiving end-of-life care after returning from hospital with pneumonia. All of the staff were exceptional in their attitude and treatment of my mum and also my sister and me, who were constant visitors for the final 10 days of Mum's life. We were kept informed and looked
after both physically and emotionally, receiving advice, care and understanding. Mum's room was peaceful and calm and the staff provided soft music, extra chairs, coffee and friendship at all hours of the day and night. Mum's physical needs were well met with 2 members of staff administering personal care every hour to keep Mum comfortable. No one hesitated to call the doctor or district nurse when necessary. All in all, we could not fault the care she received and know that her death affected everyone in the care home as they all felt personally connected to Mum. Even since her death, they have shown me and my family care and compassion.
