The manager and staff are so welcoming and friendly. They attend to mums needs and enjoy their jobs which is reflected in the service. Mum enjoys her day, especially the delicious roast dinner and homemade cakes. She always comes home happy as she gets a lot out of her day. The manager is always on hand should I have any concerns or questions about Alzheimer's. This service has been a lifeline for myself and mum.

The care home has looked after my mother exceptionally well since October 2023. The staff are friendly, respectful and go out of their way to engage with my mum and our family. There is a varied and healthy meal provision, which mum enjoys. The team is well led by the home manager, who is always visible, approachable and so engaged with everyone . The home is always clean and tidy. Mum enjoys the various activities that are provided each week, supervised by a fantastic "enabler", where mum is encouraged to participate.

Wolborough Court have done an excellent job helping Dad after he came out of hospital. The staff have been first class and have made Dad feel settled and valued. I feel Dad is in the best of hands and any issues have always been dealt with and resolved quickly.

Wolborough Court is a smaller purpose-built residence set on Wolborough Hillside, commanding lovely views across the surrounding countryside. This well-managed home is always clean, light and airy and maintained to a high standard throughout. Mum and all the other residents are always treated with the utmost dignity, respect and given time. All Mum's medical, mental and physical needs are dealt with to a high standard and I'm kept informed of anything necessary. Hot freshly cooked food is served daily to a very high standard with any special dietary needs catered for and a varied menu including homemade cakes. There are daily activities and professional entertainments visiting on a regular basis. Days out are also organised if required. All the staff are smart, professional, competent and friendly. Most importantly though they really do care for their residents, so for family or friends this is most reassuring indeed. This "care home" surpasses on "care" really is a "home" to my mum.

Wolborough Court is an outstanding Care Home. My mother has been a resident for over a year and in that time she has received first class care. Any medical issues arising have been dealt with promptly. We are always kept informed of any developments. The staff are always proactive and caring and there are many activities arranged for her to enjoy. This is an extremely well managed home from home.

My mother had to move here at very short notice in December 2024. It was a very smooth move. She has settled into her newly decorated room quickly. She is full of praise for the staff. She is enjoying the variety of hot meals. The activities on offer vary daily and are excellent. No complaints here.

Mum was in above home for 30 months, after a wobbly start she settled in, made friends and got used to the routine. The staff treated her well and took good care of her until she passed.

Taking up residence in the care home was a great relief to Mum. She had previously been struggling with anything physical, including preparation of meals and generally looking after herself. After more than two months, Mum continues to be glad she became a resident and says she is particularly pleased at how kind, considerate and competent are the caring staff. She says the meals provided are good and sufficient.

My mother has been a resident at Wolborough Court since February 2024. She has settled well and bounced back from a bad time in hospital with the excellent care given. The manager is a wonderful individual who has an excellent rapport with residents and staff, all of whom are cheerful and very helpful. I have every confidence in the team who are working together well. It's great to feel confident that my mother is in good hands and can enjoy being looked after with love. I particularly like the arrangement of the communal rooms and the range of activities on offer. The quality of the food is also very good, an important consideration.

My mother was at Wolborough Court from December 2023 just before Christmas until she passed away in February 2024. She was cared for in an exemplary way by the endlessly thoughtful staff in all departments of the home from day-to-day care, catering staff, the lady who washed all the clothes and the exceptional manager who not only addressed my mother's needs but also had time for myself when things were stressful. My mother enjoyed the activities and the Christmas festivities which I myself was kindly invited to attend. I could never speak highly enough of Wolborough Court as a residential home.

Mum has settled well, she always looks clean and well-presented on my visits. The new enabler has varied activities scheduled for the residents on most days. The food, especially the cakes is amazing. The menu seems very varied. The home looks well presented with decorations for Xmas, Valentine's, and Mother's Day. The manager is excellent very approachable, professional, and very caring towards residents.

My mum's experience at Wolborough Court has been very positive and her quality of life has steadily improved since she joined in November 2022. Management is good and well led. All the staff are very caring and considerate and are always helpful whenever I telephone. Her room is spacious with a great view over a nearby park and she has been able to add some pictures and furniture to help to make it more homely. Food is great and the kitchen spotlessly clean. Sometimes treats are organised for tea-times. Social activities are also good and it is really great to share photos on social media to view what has been taking place.

I have found the local management understanding, sympathetic and caring. I had great difficulties with higher management concerning the transfer of my brother from hospital back to the care home. It took 5 days with my brother being marooned in a busy surgical ward awaiting a decision on whether he could return to his room. This was distressing for him, his family and extremely frustrating for the hospital. The local management team assessed him in hospital on bank holiday Monday (the manager interrupting her annual leave). I was informed within a few hours that he would be able to return subject to the owner and financial directors' agreement. Hence the delay, the apparent policy is to contact by email only, presumably leaving a paper trail! The emails were not picked up! This delay concerned the cost of extra staff cover and the provision of a special bed. This is not acceptable for a caring organisation. The company's policy must change, and a 24/7 decision process should be a priority.

My dad has been very happy at Wolborough Court for over two years now. I do feel they care about him and he feels very lucky to be there.
