My cousin came to Darwin Court in November 2024. He was helped to settle in with kindness and care. As a 81 year old bachelor who lived on his own and was suffering from Alzheimer's, he adapted to his new life helped by the excellent facilities and the kindness of staff. Any of my concerns were
addressed immediately and did not have to be addressed again.
26 January 2026
During my career I helped to set up and manage fifteen care homes for the elderly. I have the POA for my cousin and when his dementia made it dangerous for him to live on his own, I investigated two homes in London, where he lived, and three homes near me. Darwin Court met my cousin's needs and his
financial position. Their help with moving him was excellent.

Exceptional care. Staff are brilliant. Great facilities.

Despite this home being fully aware of the challenges my father brought thw management took my father in as a resident however he was quickly isolated by the majority of the staff (other than Mohammed, Mike & 1 or 2 others). He was never encouraged to get involved in activities or to eat in communal
dinining area. On several occassions he soiled bedding or other areas & there seemed to be no urgency to clean either him or the area. On occassions we cleaned him up ourselves rather than wait for staff to come to his aid. From day one he was promised a Tv in his room but we had to supply our own despite staff sitting in a larg unused lounge watching a TV. I found onevor 2 staff to be extremely lazy with one particular carer always easy to find sat on her backside in the lounge. As soon as he showed a little agression we were told he had to leave. Ge has dementia so what did they expect? To be honest I struggle to see where the £1600 a week we were paying went.

She is so caring & efficient.

Darwin Court is a bright and friendly place. A 'family' feel is found throughout - from the bistro next to reception into each suite. Staff and management work hard to engage both residents and their families in the many and varied events available. Staff on each wing/suite are alert to any
developing health or 'mood' issues, and advise appropriate seniors, thus avoiding more deep-seated problems. A great bonus is the lovely roof garden.

Disappointing. Husband wore same clothes 3 days, mon-wed, slept in them. No shower. I had to get him to shower. There are various ways to follow up request/advice to shower. On visits he appeared lost. Saturday afternoon had coffee in lounge/foyer during which 3 staff members stood in foyer - lift
opened body appeared on gurney taken to ambulance, no one had the courtesy to forewarn us. Friday confirmed with 'admin' collection on Sunday after lunch. On arrival bedlam noone appeared to know who was responsible for what - I was told all bank staff. Clothing missing requested from rude - on his phone - ignored - male nurse on two occasions Saturday. Three requests for meds took 1 and a half hours from staff another ward dealt - unable to find file - assessment papers loose under file papers, no paper to write on. Meal delayed food out - sure cold. All crockery from breakfast on unit at 1:45 pm not even clean spoon! No menus.

I regularly visit friend and brother. I am impressed by the efficiency, help and atmosphere at Darwin Court.

As soon as you walk through the door, the home is spacious with a friendly greeting. The rooms are bright and roomy with en-suite bathrooms. All staff seem friendly and are happy to help at any time. Mom is very happy here, and enjoys participating in most of the activities.

My dad moved into Darwin Court Care Home in March 2025. As a family, we are over the moon with the level of care that he has been shown from the outset. Staff are amazing and nothing is too much trouble. We are so happy that he is now thriving in such a safe and secure environment with a wide
variety of activities available.

Darwin Court in Lichfield is a first-class care home, which is run and staffed by people with a professional and caring focus on their residents. The nursing and administrative staff are beyond reproach. I hold minor concerns about weekend staff levels and the general attention given to what may
seem to be minor details, but are, in fact, matters of significance to residents and their families.
01 July 2025
Darwin and the staff have been really reassuring since Mum arrived. Feels like a massive anxiety has been lifted and that the team are always there to support and help. The coffee shop is a godsend for bringing a little normalcy to seeing Mum.

Excellent care home. Love the bistro. Patient is very happy here.

I would like to thank all of the staff at Darwin, always a smile and looking impeccable with help of the cleaners.
My wife has been a resident for a year and still being cared for. I am so grateful to everyone as she has been in some dreadful homes since 2003 but finally found her home from home.
I miss her everyday but staff always make me feel comfortable.
Thank you Darwin court you truly are a number one nursing home.

Recently Mom had a fall and I was unable to attend the home. The staff were amazing, sitting with her until paramedics arrived. Keeping in touch with me and facilitating phone calls so that I could talk to Mom. The staff packed a bag of useful items/clothing for Mom to take with her to the hospital.
Five stars excellent.

Visiting very dear friend of many years standing.

Our experience with the care my father has received since being in Darwin Court Care Home has been amazing. The staff are so welcoming but most importantly very in tune with the care and attention that is required from my father on a day-to-day basis (as every day as we know is different), nothing
is too much trouble and they make my dad feel at home and as an equal to them.
20 June 2025
Staff at the home have been ultra help for in dealing with my mum's needs. They always provide a friendly and caring approach which really helps with keeping my mum's condition under control.
Since moving into the home, Mum has really picked up from her she was in hospital and which are the
credit for this should go to the caring and nursing teams Darwin.

Our experience using Darwin Court Care Home has been exceptionally good. Nothing is too much trouble. Any queries we have are dealt with efficiently. The staff are all so lovely and really do put the residents first. They have so many lovely activities each day that they encourage the residents to
get involved in. The home has a lovely atmosphere and everyone is welcoming no matter what time of the day you visit.

My husband's dad passed away last Saturday, 29/03/2025, at Darwin Court. The staff were very good. It was as good as it could be. They treated him with respect at all times. We were always made welcome. We cant thank you staff enough for looking after our Dad when we couldn't be there. It was a
relief to know he was in safe hands and being well looked after. I would recommend Darwin Court to anyone looking for a home from home for the last part of life. God bless you all.
