Reviews for Cookridge Court Care Home

"My father spent the last year of his life at Cookridge Court. He was happy and the staff were wonderful. He joined in all the activities (I think, he could be strong-willed). Overall, I made the right decision to let him stay at Cookridge Court."

"As a wife of one of the residents I came here for respite as my daughter and family were on holiday. I was here for two weeks, and so appreciated the same care as all residents. I would highly recommend it here as the level of care was in my opinion superb. I am wheelchair-bound and found that nothing was too much trouble."

"Cookridge Court Care Home is a lovely, friendly place. The staff are so caring and look after the residents so well. The home is welcoming, modern throughout and exceptionally clean (like a five-star hotel). Always plenty of activities and always plenty of food at mealtimes. Well recommended."

"This is Dad's 4th stay here and I can honestly say everything is wonderful here in Cookridge Court. The staff, management, food, care and activities are second to none. Dad is happy to come here, happy for visitors to come and go and happy to return home too. This residential care home is fantastic - A1!"

"Visiting my cousin after she had settled into Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home after being I’ll myself I am amazed at how well she looks and seems so happy with you. She tells me ‘always something going on“ and has company! On each occasion, I am amazed at the ratio of staff and kindness of all your lovely staff. Yesterday she didn’t expect me and I went onto the top floor where 2 staff members were with a lovely lady, they were very caring key helping her drink with a straw and I saw the tenderness showed by the lady herself, wrapping her hands around the nurse concerned as a way of thanks. After taking my cousin for coffee in the entrance which she loved! We returned to her floor and again I saw the same nurse gently encouraging the lady to drink some water, again with the same kindness. It is so reassuring that my cousin has the wonderful care which she truly deserves in this later stage in her life. Knowing she is treated with dignity, and care which is so very genuine. Thank you!"

"I visit my nana weekly and it is a pleasure visiting this care home. The staff are so friendly and you can tell they genuinely care about the residents. The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and enjoy your visit, so much so that even my two children love visiting. I feel relieved that my nana is in such a lovely place and I'm reassured she is getting the best care. The care home is always immaculate and doesn't feel like an 'old people's home' which makes it so much nicer to visit."

"We are very pleased with how Mum has settled in since January this year which is very much down to the excellent care she has received from you. Better now that she is receiving full-time care and she is eating and sleeping well. The communal areas are beautifully furnished. The bedrooms could do with a little refurbishment."

"On my visit, I was made to feel very welcome and relaxed by the friendly atmosphere, both the staff and the residents all seemed to be happy and content. It was very satisfying to see my mother-in-law so content and enjoying her new surroundings and company. Thank you very much Cookridge Court for the care and professionalism you show, long may it continue."

"I made the very difficult decision of putting to put my mum into a care home. I now realise it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My mum has settled very well, she is more energised and motivated than I have seen in the past few years. This is due to the care, professional and dedicated staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, whether it's just chatting, entertaining them or encouraging the residents to get involved with the activities. Cookridge Court is the care home I would highly recommend."

"My mum moved into Cookridge Court Care Home in December after being very independent in her flat. She was greeted with a hug and kiss from the staff. Her first comment was this is like a hotel. The care that has been shown towards her has been phenomenal. Whatever she wants or needs is there nothing has ever been too much. I really can't praise this home enough. You have all made my mum so very welcome."

"A wonderful home with very caring staff. We were quite concerned when Mum first moved here after being very happy in her previous home but any fears we may have had were quickly assuaged and it was a real delight to see how quickly she settled in. The care is excellent with understanding and compassionate staff so overall we are delighted to have Mum at Cookridge Court."

"The staff at Cookridge Court could not do enough to help. I needed lots of help with my mobility and the staff were there to help whenever I needed them. Midway through my stay, the staff worked so hard to put on a barbecue for residents and their families. They ensured that all residents who wanted to attend were given all the help they needed. My family were really impressed with the efforts each and every member of staff put in to ensure the residents enjoyed themselves. I would certainly recommend Cookridge Court to anyone needing respite care for themselves or a loved one"

"Mum has recently returned to Cookridge Court after three months at another care home. She missed the smaller homely feel of Cookridge Court, the varied activities and social aspects as well as the enthusiastic activities team, caring staff and hands-on management team. Mum lost a dramatic amount of weight, and within a week, has already put some back on with the fabulous catering staff and monitoring of her food and drink intake. Mum can be anxious, and everyone is supportive."

"Everything about the home is fantastic. The staff are caring, attentive and always willing to help and go the extra mile for my mum. The activities which are put on for the residents are frequent and entertaining and definitely make a big difference to the lives of the residents. The rooms are great and a good size and the food is excellent. There are also morning and afternoon snacks, so Mum never goes hungry."

"My father came to Cookridge Court after a series of falls at home and a long stay in hospital. We knew he could no longer manage at home, but he was very reluctant to agree to this and saw himself only staying at Cookridge Court for a short stay. However, he very quickly settled in and came to say he wanted to stay long-term of his own free will. The lovely staff have made him feel happy, safe and secure, and we cannot thank the manager and her staff enough. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They help Dad with his personal care yet let him retain his sense of dignity, and they encourage him to do as much for himself as he can. They have cooked him his favourite foods, which he was missing, and have bought things he has specifically asked for. We are welcome to visit at any time, and so have been able to see him very often. The manager said to me that they would help him live “his best life”, and I can certainly vouch that he is."

"Written while some Covid restrictions are in place. I love the staff here. They are always kind, considerate, and courteous to residents and family. If you ask a question you get a straight answer or they find out and come back to you. If you ask for something to happen, it will, if it is in their powers. The food is excellent and seems to be plenty of it. If you take your resident out and you are late back there is always something saved or available on return. The surroundings are great; more like a hotel than a care home. Rooms are nicely decorated and there is no embargo of putting pictures on the wall. General tidiness and cleaning are very good. We looked at many care homes before committing mum to Cookridge Court's care and I feel it is the only one that I was happy had passed the "Would I be happy living here myself" test. I now feel mum is safe from wandering, something that we couldn't stop when she was at her house. I would like to see more activities once Covid is over."

"My Mum was a resident at Cookridge Court for over seven years before sadly she passed away at the grand old age of ninety-nine at the end of June. We looked at several homes for Mum before visiting Cookridge Court and as soon as we looked round we knew we had found the right place for our lovely Mum to live. Over the years the amazing staff have looked after her with love, care and compassion, treating her with kindness and respecting her dignity. They have always been very professional in their care of her and worked with us to ensure that she was happy and comfortable and involved as much as possible in the activities of the home. During the last very sad weeks when Mum was on end-of-life care they were wonderful to her and to us, helping us through a very difficult time. We can never thank them enough for looking after Mum for us, we definitely made the right choice entrusting our lovely Mum's care to them, we will never forget them."

"Pre-Covid times my father would go to Barchester Cookeridge Care Home for a week respite every six weeks. Just before lockdown, we decided to move him into the care home full time for his own safety. The service, the care, the staff were incredible. I can not fault the way they looked after my father. Coming from an Indian background they even catered to his dietary needs and even allowed me to have food delivered to him once lockdown restrictions eased a little. The communication I received from the manager and her team was amazing. They would liaise with me at every step and they really looked after my father. My father was very fond of certain staff. The team would really get my father involved in all activities to keep him active. During Covid, they provided video calls and even pod visits for me to visit which was really important as my father as a dementia patient and it was important for him to still have that familiarity and communication with his children."

"Cookridge Court is a lovely care home. My Mum has been a resident there for over six years and she has always been well looked after and cared for with love and kindness. The staff are wonderful, before the virus arrived in our lives myself and my family visited two or three times a week and were always made welcome. I miss my visits, I miss my lovely Mum and I miss the staff who over the last six years have become friends. The garden visits have been great but once again in Leeds, we are in lockdown restrictions so those are on hold again. I ring regularly to check on Mum and am always given an update by the staff. I really appreciate all their kindness to Mum and to me over the years and look forward to the time we can visit again, they have been so brave through these difficult times and I can never thank them enough."

"Cookridge Court is safe and welcoming. Care and supporting staff are friendly, caring and have a good understanding of my mother's specific care needs. The premises and rooms are maintained to a good standard and the manager, together with team leaders and seniors, are helpful and willing to work with the family to address care needs wherever possible. Prior to COVID, there were regular, well-attended events, bringing staff, residents, family and friends together, helping to build and maintain the pleasant atmosphere around the home. Since COVID, there has been good, regular contact with staff and the current visiting arrangements are much appreciated given the difficult circumstances. I feel my mother is safe, well cared for and would be extremely likely to recommend Cookridge Court to others."

One carer I talked to was very caring towards my Dad as he got quite upset when he was visiting, she even went over her care duties to make an effort to inform me. This is one place I will definitely use again if we need to use a care home. Thank you all."

"A brilliant care home in every aspect. My mother had dementia and stayed on Grange until she finished her days there. Throughout her time in Cookridge Court, the carers were fantastic. They know and understand the personalities of all the residents and sensitively address their individual needs. All the staff at the home always had time for my mother, responding to her affectionate ways and we always were greeted warmly on our visits. Mum's young grandchildren were also most welcome. All the staff - housekeeping, technicians, laundry and obviously the carers work very hard - nothing was too much trouble. We're so glad we chose Cookridge Court. A big thank you to you all - true professionals."

The senior carers always inform me if my mother has any health problems and how she is getting on. All the staff in the care home are polite and friendly. The carers always contact GP's or district nurses as soon as possible when necessary. My mind has been put at rest so that I do not worry about my mother when I am not with her. I know that my mother is happy because her face lights up when some of her carers come to talk with her and she says "don't send me anywhere else"."

"We arrived in August - at short notice - and the team accommodated our requests very well. Initial assessment of dad's condition was well managed, however, after approximately 6 weeks, after a 2nd assessment, we asked for dad to be moved as his dementia is not as severe as others on his floor and this request was dealt with promptly. Dad is much happier and more settled with the welcoming of the care teams. The care teams have been consistently caring, informative, attentive and upbeat in the care of dad. We are regular visitors (4-7 times a weeks) so have a good view of what day to day life is like there. Any issues we have had have been raised and promptly dealt with."

"My mother is reasonably well cared for in that she is kept clean, nicely dressed and has hair/nails done regularly. She does, however, spend a lot of time by herself in her room and rarely takes part in activities. Whilst I understand the need to respect her dignity and wishes, I feel more could be done to reduce her isolation. She likes to be independent but frequently has accidents and leaves smelly underwear around the room, sometimes in drawers. Staff are caring and friendly. Documentation improving."

The staff are now very helpful and available when needed. My aunt has been a resident for over 4 years so I can see much improvement on all aspects of care there. The best one being a great management team and a good approachable manager who puts herself out to ensure great care for our vulnerable relatives so I can go home in the knowledge that they are being cared for and all is well.

"Mum was a resident of Cookridge Court, Leeds, before she sadly passed away in January. We looked at eight homes before we chose Cookridge and we feel we made the right decision. Mum was treated with respect and dignity and it was evident that all the staff at the home truly care for the residents and go above and beyond what is required of them. The staff get to know the resident and they are made to feel they are part of a family community. We felt any concerns we might have were listened to and nothing was too much trouble."

"Thank you. Thank you to the fabulous staff at Cookridge Court for providing respite care to the best mum in the world: mine! Everyone there is so attractive, cheerful, helpful, kind and attentive and at all times superbly professional. Cookridge Court is more like a luxury hotel than a care home. The building is impressive and the layout conducive to socialising. As soon as you enter the ambience is sophisticated and welcoming. The decor is beautiful and fragrant with fresh cut flowers. The layout is well designed and the en suite ground floor rooms set amongst greenery, foliage and lawns are fantastic. There are varied daily activities, and although my mum told me she would content herself with watching TV in her room, in fact she loved the entertainment be it singing, dancing and painting. How blessed we were to discover this outstandingly good care home."

"I highly recommend Cookridge Court both for the care provided to my mother and for the comfortable surroundings of the home. My mother is 87 years of age and has dementia, we needed a week of respite care for her as my father is her carer and was not coping. It was the first time in 67 years of marriage that they had been apart so the family were worried about how she would cope without him. All the staff at Cookridge Court were so welcoming and understanding and made her stay as comfortable as possible. I rang up nearly every day to check on her and I got put straight through to her main carer who put my mind at rest. We will definitely be arranging another respite stay for my mother when my father needs a rest."

"The staff here all communicate really well and are all experienced nurses. They all know what is going on which makes it easy to talk to any one member of staff. You get the sense that they do really care about the residents and their wellbeing. The residents are all really well cared for and that is clear to see. It is a very guilt-laden and worrying thing having to place your loved one in care because you struggle to be able to do it yourself, especially when they are suffering with dementia and dying before your eyes. However, we feel really comfortable with the care here and that she is fed hot meals, is clean, not lonely and most of all as happy as she can be."

We checked out many care homes in Leeds and Harrogate and this care home, along with its staff and residents, are the best by far. For your loved ones - who sadly need to move into residential care - please don't hesitate to visit this care home first!"

"I knew a little about Cookridge Court as my sister’s mother-in-law was resident there and the family had seemed satisfied with the care she was receiving. However, my sisters and I looked at several alternatives, and for the most part were more than disappointed with what we found. Mother was therefore placed in Cookridge and I could not be more pleased with the level of care and attention she received. All of the staff, without exception, were caring and helpful and in fact became friends of the family over the twelve months Mother was resident. I have no hesitation in recommending Cookridge Court to others who have to make the difficult decision of who to entrust with their loved one’s care."

"Occasionally small detail may be missed e.g cleaning spectacles, changing hearing aid battery, but overall a safe, clean comfortable environment where I am confident my family member is well cared for. All staff, whether care, laundry, cleaning, reception or other, are always kind and friendly which helps create a warm pleasant environment for both residents and visitors. Additionally staff understand residents well enabling them to respond and care on an individual level in terms of specific care needs and daily interaction on a social level."

"Compared with other homes I have visited and reviewed, Cookridge Court is what I would describe as "best of breed". I am particularly impressed with the staff members who are very caring and dedicated to the work that they do."

"The care and kindness my mother received while she was a resident at Cookridge Court Residential home were excellent. The staff and management, even down to kitchen staff and maintenance were all kind, compassionate and caring people not only to my Mum but also to her family. We could not praise them highly enough and would definitely recommend this Care home to anyone."

"My first impression when I entered the care home to visit my mum for the first time was very pleasant. The receptionist was very accommodating, friendly and informative. The reception area is nicely furnished and I liked the fact that you could sit there whilst visiting your relative. I would have appreciated if there was an organisation chart of the care staff and management team on the wall in the reception area with photos and names. Adding pictures helps people associate a face with a name. Another thing that could be added in the care home, such as in the living room and corridors is perfume diffusers to give the home an overall fresh fragrance. I think each room should be provided with coat hooks for hanging up coats, or items such as dressing gowns rather than having them on the resident's bed or on their chair. The care staff were all very nice and friendly as far as my mum was concerned and took fantastic care of her."

"My mum has now been a resident in Cookridge Court since Sept 2017. From that very first day Staff have been Caring, Friendly and Supportive both to her and the rest of the family. Everyone, including cleaners, laundry assistants, kitchen staff, office staff, reception staff, handyman, carers and seniors have all shown my mum the dignity and respect she deserves. She is well looked after in terms of food and refreshments and entertainment and has friends amongst Staff and residents alike. Even when things aren’t going so well for her at times there’s always someone around to assist her and check on her regularly. My mum has had a difficult life right from being tiny but since moving into Cookridge Court she has settled well and more importantly she feels safe and well cared for. She often says she is spoilt with the care and attention she receives on a daily basis."

"Cookridge Court is a lovely care home. My mum has been a resident for over four and a half years. The staff are very kind and caring, they look after Mum extremely well and they treat her with understanding and respect. They keep us up to date with how Mum is when we visit and get the doctor to check her if there is the slightest concern about her health. The home is very clean and well maintained and the general atmosphere is very welcoming with coffee and cakes in reception when you visit. In my opinion, the two new managers appointed in January this year are doing a really good job leading and inspiring their lovely team of carers and staff and have now got the home back on track after some difficult times."
