Reviews for Cookridge Court Care Home

"My husband has now been in bed for 8 months and his care has been remarkable. Everyone is very kind and considerate with him and with me. I certainly couldn't manage him now. Lately a minibus has come for me as I am wheelchair-bound, so cannot get out of the house without help in the form of using temporary ramps, which the driver (Andy) and his assistant have been happy to help with. Their company on the journey has been good and understanding, and Andy has tried route without many speed bumps. My husband's care and mine also is outstanding. Well done everyone!!"

"I cannot speak highly enough of Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home. It is a truly beautiful residential home with wonderfully caring staff who go above and beyond every single day. Since my 91 year old mother arrived at the end of January this year, her health has improved immeasurably. The support from the carers, combined with the nutritious, home-cooked meals prepared by their brilliant five-star rated chefs has made such a positive difference to her wellbeing. The whole team is exceptional, and it's clear how much they genuinely care. Tracey, Karan, Angela, and Precious are just a few of the amazing individuals who look after my mum with such kindness and dedication. Lynsey and Vicky have also been outstanding, helping me navigate what could have been a very difficult transition from independent living to residential care with ease and reassurance. For the first time in many years, I am able to relax, knowing my mum is receiving the very best care she could have ever wished for"

"It is a great relief and pleasure to me that my wife is in such a well-run, caring environment and that I am welcome to see her at any sensible time. She is very happy, and knows neither she nor I could provide for her needs without expert care. Whenever she has needed to leave the home for a hospital appointment or a family event that can be organised for us. The only slight weakness is that the lounge is not a sensible shape and size, but there's nothing the carers can do about that."

Cookridge Court is a wonderful care home! From the moment you walk in you are welcomed into the family. The staff are amazing! Everyone goes the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble. They really are a fabulous team and the residents are much loved. A big shout out to Laura and Libby for their fabulous and varied activities programme! Well done to everyone at Cookridge Court! You're amazing!

"The staff were welcoming and made us quickly feel at home as my husband began his week's respite at Cookridge Court. He enjoyed the activities and commented on how nice the meals were. I enjoyed having lunch with him on one occassion too. His room was clean and comfortable - he had a lovely garden view and appreciated that. Our only concern was that unfortunately when we arrived home after his stay, another resident's night medication was in my husband's boxes too. I had to drive back with it."

I can’t speak highly enough about Cookridge Court carehome so thought I should post my review though it is late.
My husband had his 4 weeks respite care in Cookridge Court from Nov to Dec last year.
During our first visit, we were shown around by Janine who was so helpful and kind. From then on, we knew that it was the right care home for him. The moment we entered the lobby, it was very welcoming with offering of refreshments. The rooms were clean & has a calm atmosphere all around.
All the staff have been great with my husband and I feel relaxed that he was so well looked after while I was thousands of miles away to visit my family. As he has Parkinson's disease, he is prone to falls. When he had a fall in his room, the team leader, Amandeep called me to tell me about it and that they requested for paramedics to check on his injury though it was not very serious. I was very impressed with their care and concern.
My husband enjoyed the food there & said that the staff were friendly & the residents were happy to chat with him.
He will definitely go back to Cookridge Court for his next respite care this year.
Keep up the good work everyone.

"My wife Valerie (Val) is a long term sufferer with Parkinsons Disease - it was becoming difficult to cope at home and a bad fall in June 2024 resulting in a broken femur and other falls following resulted in an agreed decision to seek care. We have been very pleased and this has resulted in a degree of independence and mutual benefit."

"The most happy friendly caring team of people from the start. Very welcoming from the initial visit. Always great with feedback. Beautifully kept carehome. Immaculately clean. Lovely furnishings. Comfortable bedrooms/lounge areas. Top notch food. Everyone looked after kindly and compassionately. Always plenty of staff on hand to have an update with. Safe and comfortable surroundings. Fun activities for the residents."

"My mother in law moved into Cookridge Court recently and we couldn't be more pleased with the care she is getting. The setting is really pleasant and the staff are easy to talk to and very willing to help. The care she is getting is second to none and it's relieved the family's stress around trying to keep her safe Thank you all at Cookridge Court."

"My mum has been staying at Cookridge court now for just over 2 weeks. She is settled and the staff are absolutely amazing. They have made her feel at home with their friendly attitude and the care she has received has been excellent. I am forever grateful that my mum is getting the care she needs. I highly recommend Cookridge court. Thank you all."

"My mother has only been here a few weeks, but has settled in really well and has been looked after with care and dignity."

"So another week for my friend here - third time this year and loves it as I do too. Staff are alway so kind and attentive. Staff always look happy to be working here. Looking beautiful with all the Christmas decorations too. Beautifully clean always. Coffees and cakes in the cafe - lovely. All positive no negative comments."

"Could not thank you so much for looking after my mother for the last 4 years"

"All staff have been extremely helpful and cheerful, without exception. They have treated my wife with the upmost of dignity and respect. A shoutout to Lindsey for her exceptional professionalism offered to us as a family delivered in a very caring way."

"Well i really would like to say we have found a real gem with my dad's care home. From the moment I walked in and had a look around I felt the atmosphere was perfect. My dad is a bit of a loner which seemed to put me on edge but to be honest being in Cookridge court care home my mind is at ease. I would like to thank you all for the care and respect you have for your elderly. My dad seems so settled and of course seems to be enjoying some of the male company. Big thank you to all."

My mum in law had a year's stay in this home and although she was a bit difficult... The staff coped admirably. They respected her wishes and managed to keep her safe.. but unfortunately she was stubborn and wouldn't stay in bed at night ... pulling her cord out so they didn't know she was up ...so this resulted in a very nasty fall . She was admitted to hospital but died but not from her head injuries .... She got pneumonia and her frail body couldn't cope .. we want to thank the all the staff for what they did . Would recommend the home all the way.... And will stay in contact .

"After a fall at home we needed to find emergency care for my 95 year old aunt. It needed to be close to her home so family and friends could call in to see her. Cookridge Court ticked all the boxes, and were very prompt when I contacted them. My aunt only stayed 4 weeks, but I now know how great the stay was incase she needs to return in the future."
