Friendly, professional staff have given lots of support while transitioning to care home life. Much better than lots of other places we visited before making our decision.

This care home seems very friendly and pleasant. The staff are kind and helpful. I'm afraid I don't visit all that frequently but these are the impressions I get when I do visit!

The staff made my mother very comfortable and relaxed. Absolutely fantastic place and staff brilliant. I feel really at ease with my mother being at Melbury Court. She is getting 1st class attention and very pleasant staff cant do enough for you. It is her first time in respite and cant fault anything if I need respite again I would fee at ease and would not worry about my mother. Spot on.

My mother required a palliative care bed. Visited the home and was immediately put at ease by the professional approach, advice and information given. Assessment of care needs made promptly, and a smooth transfer to home. The carer has been very good, all staff are friendly and approachable, respectful and kind. From all staff, ancillary staff, handyman, laundry, carers, nurses and senior management, we cannot thank them enough for their support for us all at an emotional time. This is a well-maintained home, the rooms are good, and very clean. Hardworking staff and polite care teams. My mother was treated with kindness and care, dignity was maintained, and her voice was heard. Thank you.

My Dad recently passed away, whilst in the care of the staff at Melbury court. I can honestly say that the care and support my Dad received was way above and beyond what was expected. He was treat with respect and decency, kindness and more during the five years he was a resident. The job that those who work in this area, is very, very difficult. Thank you all for looking after my Dad.

My mother moved here from hospital with palliative care needs. We chose Melbury because it was able to fulfil her nursing care needs. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are attentive and as prompt as they can be when the button is pressed for attention. Having a call button was important to us for peace of mind.

Mam is treated with lots of care and respect. She is always clean and her hygiene needs attended to when required. The staff understand Mam's communication (non-verbal) and respond appropriately. I feel comfortable in the knowledge that Mam is receiving the best care possible.

I was worried about coming into a care home but since I have come here I have been able to feel at ease and totally welcome, treated with respect and dignity, staff can't do enough for you. I'm grateful for all the help I have been given.

Absolutely fabulous nursing home! Staff are brilliant, very supportive and helpful. Dad is so happy with his room, the medical support he receives, the variety of meals and the care he requires being given daily. The staff have organised haircuts, chiropody and most importantly to dad, holy communion! Always lots going on, activities, birthday celebrations etc. Highly recommend!
