Reviews for Cookridge Court Care Home

"Each member of staff whatever grade or level was kind, compassionate, helpful & reassuring."

I visited Cookridge Court Care Home yesterday as part of a group of Rotarians from the Rotary Club of Roundhay presenting a Desert Island Discs style of entertainment to the residents. I was extremely impressed by the level of care and concern I saw from staff interactions with the residents especially the residents suffering from dementia.
They also seemed to have a full and varied range of activities for the more able residents........and their coffee and cake is delicious !!

"The staff that we see are lovely, however I feel that they need more staff - there are a lot of residents in the home. Washing does go missing- however again a lot of residents to look after. Some toilets do not work properly - or the residents cannot push handle down - too hard for them - the shower floors are uneven so residents fall sometimes."

"My wife has just returned home after her third respite stay at Cookridge Court. She has previously spent time at several other care homes, and respite care is something she tolerates rather than enjoys. However, following her two previous stays she was more tolerant of going in. Once again, all of the staff were welcoming and pleased to see her. Her room was immaculate, clean and inviting. A proper home from home. The meals were delicious, and the care she received friendly and attentive. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, and it made her stay so enjoyable that she is actually looking forward to her next "holiday" in 2 month's time. I can't say enough how much more relaxing it has made my break, knowing that my wife is happy and content whilst I am away. My thanks to everyone at Cookridge Court for taking such loving care of my wife."

"I have just returned home from my third respite stay at Cookridge Court Care Home.The care I receive is so good. I got such a warm welcome from all members of staff when I arrived. My room was spotlessly clean, light and airy. The meals were delicious and varied - I even had a visit from the chef! The house keepers who kept my room so clean always made time for a chat as they went about their work, whilst the care staff really "do care" . As I find sleeping in a single bed rather difficult, a reclining chair was provided by the home for me - I even met the handy man who checked everything was okay for my sleeping arrangements. I am unable to comment on the activities run at the home. Despite being invited to join in on several occasions, I was happy to stay in my room and catch up with my reading. I now can look forward to my next "holiday" there, it's so nice to know that my husband can enjoy his breaks, knowing I am so well looked after and happy."

"My wife suffers from Alzheimer's disease and was admitted for respite initially but it became apparent that permanent care was needed. All the staff were welcoming, professional and supportive throughout. However, my wife presented many challenges and management with my agreement, invited a specialist NHS team to review her care and this resulted in a recommendation that she be moved to a more intense nursing dementia care. Throughout this difficult time, the management and staff were very supportive and caring both for myself and my wife. I appreciate the efforts of all concerned and would wish to place on record my sincere thanks and appreciation."

Cookridge Court is a fantastic Care Home! All the staff are so kind and caring. It has such a family feel where they have time for everyone. Karen manages the home beautifully. Special mention to Laura and Libby for the great activities! They put on superb events at Cookridge Court which are enjoyed by all residents, family and friends. Everybody goes the extra mile to make residents happy and content. Congratulations Cookridge Court!

My dad has only been living in Cookridge Court for 3 weeks but I can’t speak highly enough about it.
From our first visit when we were shown around by Helen, who was so helpful and kind.
All the staff have been great with him, and I feel relaxed that he is so well looked after.
The food is really good and the activities on offer are Suberb.
Keep up the good work everyone.

"We continue to be delighted with the ongoing care for our mother who has been a resident with Cookridge Court for 2 years now. The home recognise her individual needs and tailor their support towards her very well. Communication with us is very good and the regular updates are always appreciated. Staff were recently really accommodating for our mum's special birthday!"

"We can not thank all the staff at cookridge court care home enough. From the admin team, finance team, support staff and all in-between for the great support/care provided to my grandfather during his respite. They not only cared for my grandad but they supported me and my mum and helped us feel at ease leaving him for the first time. We would definitely recommend them and will certainly be using their service in the future. They are all simply amazing."

This is a well established and professionally run home for the older person. The moment you walk through the front door, you will feel a friendly atmosphere and meet the receptionist or one of the team.
All the staff are fully trained and experienced in all aspects of their job roles. The management team couldn't be more helpful, friendly, and resourceful.
Make an appointment to pop in and see for yourself. If you're wondering about a placement for you or your family members, don't hesitate to make that call.

"I visited my mum's best friend. I met her in the main entrance where we sat and chatted for an hour. My mum's friend was waiting for me in the warm entrance, we were greeted by friendly staff and offered and given drinks (including soya milk) and cake. The hall was light with huge windows looking on a busy court yard so lots to see. At one point my mum's friend said, she'd like to go out with us and staff said she'd need staff with her for safety. She also said the food was generally good and she liked her room. Staff seemed lovely and supportive. The gorgeous trees at the front were beautiful. Car parking was plentiful. The hall was clean and nicely decorated. Toilets were clean and spacious."

"Visiting an old friend who's a new resident. I telephoned the day before and the staff checked and she was was available in afternoon of the next day. When I arrived, she was in the welcoming hall waiting for us, staff came out and made us all cups of tea and a delicious chocolate and cherry cake. We had a lovely time, staff were always present but never intrusive. Top service."

"I cannot praise the care and staff enough for looking after my husband, I was encouraged to go and see him at all times and made to feel welcome, the staff always asked me if I was ok and gave me a cup of tea, they were all polite and respectful, they kept me in touch at all times about his health and care. I will have no doubts in recommending the way my lovely husband was cared for at Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home. God bless them all and I will miss your friendship."

"At all times, I found all the staff to be caring, friendly, efficient and just really pleasant. They showed genuine affection for the residents and concern for her welfare. The building itself is beautifully designed and furnished so that it is comfortable and not intimidating yet of the highest standard. Thank you to all the team."

"My recently bereaved friend has an Alzheimer's diagnosis and is no longer able to care for herself. In researching and visiting several local care homes, Cookridge Court was the one putting up the most friendly welcome, homely environment and a genuine and passionate sense of care for their residents. The helpfulness of staff in finding and through the process of securing long-term (permanent) residential care was amazing - nothing was too much trouble. My friend has quickly settled in to her new environment, is making new friends and enjoys the varied organised activities and the support of all of the staff."

"You looked after my mum for over two years. They were very difficult times for all of us, as a family, at the outset. Thankfully we were helped immensely by all the staff at Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home. It did not take too long for Mum to settle in and love her new 'home'. She made great friends with other residents and staff. The many and varied activities were a great asset and helped Mum settle in. Thank you for becoming friends as well as carers."
