Having worked in care homes myself over the years, I have seen the full spectrum of care, the good and the not so good. Naturally, I was anxious when we realised my Nan needed residential care. However, Spencer Court has completely restored my faith.
From the very beginning, the team made an
emotional & difficult process feel easy. They are truly wonderful, kind, & nurturing. My Nan has settled in exceptionally well; she is always well-presented, speaks highly of staff, and most importantly genuinely loves the food & drink! No care journey is without its hiccups, but what sets Spencer Court apart is their communication. On a couple of occasions where issues have arisen, the staff have been transparent, communicative, & ensured things were resolved quickly & effectively.
Knowing that she is in the best possible hands gives our family a level of assurance we didn't think was possible. We are so grateful to the whole team for the care & dignity they provide her everyday.

Mum was welcomed by friendly, helpful staff. After a few days she was moved into a quieter room with far reaching views which she really likes. The carers are so kind and management helpful and supportive.

I come for tea. Everyone is very friendly. There is lots of staff. Residents join us. I am thinking of coming here when I can no longer manage at home.

Since mum was admitted to Spencer Court Woodstock she has genuinely never been happier. Obviously when she first arrived in April 2025 there were nerves and anxiety. The staff have been fantastic settling mum, she is night and day different in every aspect from her cleanliness, appearance to general
happiness. The whole have been amazing and are forever grateful.

My mum has been with Spencer Court for two years and I only have good things to say the staff are so very kind and helpful. When my mum needs anything or is unwell they are quick to react and sort things out quickly. This has been very important for me to be able to leave her in Spencer Courts care
and relax.

I arrived in NZ the beginning of November to spend 4 weeks with dad at his house. Little did I know he was moving to SC due to his own safety. This was a shock as he would be leaving the family home of 50+ years. Dad has been in SC for two weeks now, and myself and my sister are so happy with the
level of care he's getting. I can go home next week knowing he is in the best care home, being fed extremely well and happy.

My wife and I visit Spencer Court every week, and we really feel there is a strong sense of community between the residents, staff and visitors. All staff play their part in making Spencer Court a welcoming place, and my mother-in-law is well looked after. We always have a laugh with the staff, even
though they are clearly busy, and this contributes to making each visit a positive experience. I have visited a few other care homes, seeing other relatives, but Spencer Court is by far the best. Is Spencer Court perfect? No, but they listen to visitors' concerns and take time to explain their procedures or work with residents and their family to improve the experience. If I ever end up in a care home, I would want it to be Spencer Court.

Mum has been at Spencer Court for a year now and the amount of time, effort and care the staff have put in to making sure she is settled and happy is amazing. I have never been met by anything other than a smile by all the staff. Mum is happy, very well cared for and enjoys the outings that are
arranged.

I am so happy that my dad has been allocated a room at Spencer court it's a beautiful setting and all the staff are amazing. My dad is very happy with his room and is fitting in well. I can finally sleep properly as when dad was at home I slept with one eye open waiting for a call to say he had
fallen again. He was so unsafe living on his own but now I have peace of mind that he is very safe.
