"Ross Court Care Home is beyond excellent! My mother has been at Ross Court for around 3 years now. Her dementia is now quite severe. I live in the USA and it gives me such comfort to know she is being well cared for. Absolutely all of the staff are fantastic. I am able to do video calls with my mum anytime which is the next best thing to being there. I would highly recommend this care home in a heartbeat."

"Ross Court - the staff are incredibly compassionate and are always available to help and support Mum. As a family we feel that our mum is exceptionally well cared for, they always have time for a chat if we have questions. Nothing is too much. Huge thanks to the staff."

"Home visited over the last 18 months, I have found the staff helpful and cheerful. My friend is happy and well cared for. The care facility is always clean and staff is on hand to assist. They provided a lovely birthday tea for my friend and her family just last week and had a very enjoyable time."

"My mum has been in Ross Court Care Home for 18 months. Living as I do, 450 miles away from the care home, I've always felt secure with the level of care and support that all the staff at Ross Court provide. The food is first-rate and almost at hotel standards. I visit Ross Court every 8 weeks and the level of care and support has never changed."

"My mother was a resident at Ross Court from January 2023 to December 2024. Who cannot thank the staff enough for their love, care and compassion during this time. Also, the dignity with which she was treated as her health began to fail. Thank you Ross Court."

"I was so impressed by the level of commitment to the care of residents by all staff. They couldn't do enough for my parents and us when we visited. The food was appropriate to the needs of the individuals, that is they cared for their preferences and portioned according to their appetite. They made my parent's last few weeks as comfortable as they could. Can't thank them enough."

"My husband was extremely happy at Barchester Ross Court Care Home, he even stayed an extra week! He loved the food and thought the staff were wonderful. They all made time to talk to him and made a great fuss on his birthday which he loved. When I need a rest, he will be quite happy to go back which says it all!"

"Since the completion of the refurbishment, the home now gives you a hug on arrival. This combined with the general manager's leadership means we now have a confident feeling about the care and attention Dad is receiving. The home has a feel it was previously missing and that is represented in all the staff members I encounter and interact with."

"Barchester Ross Court Care Home was beautifully appointed and clean throughout. All the staff were professional and caring and took an interest in their clients. The preparation of the food was very good and there was plenty of choice on the varied menu. Communication was excellent, especially with the manager who responded promptly with all queries. I was delighted and confident with the level of care that my mother received."

She now has a 5-star service in a 5-star model environment delivered by top quality staff, who not only look after her welfare but mine too by keeping me informed and advised accordingly."

"Would just like to say how wonderful everyone is. So caring, thoughtful and understanding. When Mum first came to the home, we thought we were going to lose her, but a year and a half later, she is still here. Due to the great care she gets here, and she loves everyone. But sorry, girls, she does forget your names."

The newly refurbished areas add to the ambience of the premises and the new furniture enhances the overall standard of accommodation.

"Mum joined Ross Cour in June 2022. She settled well - a few ups and downs, with health issues. Since a new manager started, things have improved, and now renovations are completed. It is a place for Mum to live. All the staff are always very kind and lovely to Mum."

"The heart of Ross Court Care Home is the residents and staff. My 97-year-old mother feels very safe and cared for, especially during the recent upheaval due to the refurbishment of the home. She is contented and happy and enjoys joining in with the variety of activities provided. The new management team is proactive and listens to any concerns and will, if possible, act upon them, e.g. laundry system and installation of drinking water facilities as discussed at recent open meetings. Reinstatement of the minibus would be wonderful under new management and provide an improvement in residents' mental health and well-being."

She also enjoys the activities and we appreciate the role of the activities coordinator and hope as the home expands more support in this area including for 1-1 time is allocated and the points raised at the residents and relative meeting re: audio-visual support, are acted upon.

"Ross Court suffers from being part of the Barchester Healthcare empire of more than 250 care homes that has an impersonal corporate culture with multiple layers of management. Barchester acquired it from a previous owner. Before the change of ownership, it was a friendly and happy place but the atmosphere quickly deteriorated when Barchester arrived. The Manager resigned after 23 years’ service and since then there has been a procession of five different Managers. The turnover of care staff rapidly increased with the consequent deterioration in the quality of care. My mother was a resident for over four years. For more than three years she had a landline phone in her room but Barchester decreed that they would no longer provide residents with phones and her phone was disconnected without warning. It was left to each resident to enter into a contract with a phone company of their choice to provide a phone. When my mother passed away nobody represented Ross Court at her funeral."

"I wanted to praise the wonderful ‘nighttime carers’ (2 of whom were holding Mum’s hand when she slipped away) and all the ‘Ross Court Team’ for the care and compassion shown towards Mom especially during her last few days at Ross Court. Mom was treated with the utmost compassion, dignity and kindness. Mom had lived at Ross Court for 12 months and really enjoyed interacting with Barchester colleagues including the House Keeping Team. One staff member made her laugh, and she had a real soft spot for two others. Although she didn’t eat very much, she always looked forward to the lovely meals at Ross Court which I sampled with her on a few occasions. Although Mom’s funeral service was miles away it meant a lot to see staff at her Requiem Mass. Mom would have really liked that. I was also touched to receive the letter and card from a staff member. We just wanted to say ‘thank you’ for everything."

"Care home staff had made such an effort to make my aunt's 100th birthday a special occasion for her (and us), despite all the building work going on which meant that we had to use the main dining room instead of a private room for our tea party. A table has been laid for us in a corner of the room and there were lovely decorations including balloons displaying '100'. A lovely cake had also been made. Nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff to help us have such a memorable afternoon. It was also lovely to see that the staff managed to involve other residents in the celebration by helping to share cake and drinks around."

"We have been lucky enough to celebrate my mother's 100th birthday today. We cannot thank the staff enough for helping us make it the day she would like and be able to enjoy. The entertainment staff put everything together and were there for anything we needed, including photo taking. After worrying about how my mother would cope she rose to the occasion as you can tell by the photos taken. Thank you all for making her feel special."

"Ross Court has been so welcoming from the moment my father 'checked in'. It has a light airy feel when you arrive in the building and the cleanliness of the rooms and all communal areas are faultless. The staff are absolutely wonderful and are at hand to help whenever needed. Everyone is so friendly! My father feels comfortable and looked after which provides me with peace of mind that is invaluable. I have been told on many occasions that the food is fab here and I can confirm that this is 100% true! Thank you!"

"Pre-admission, very kind, organised and professional. On admission, the care assistant who opened the door was not aware of admission and the family had to wait to be shown to the resident's room, as a new resident this increased their anxiety. Lack of space, television could be mounted on the wall in room so personal items visible. The TV in the communal room is very small for residents with eye defects. Staff generally very friendly and food and drinks super."

"Knowing a lot of the residents as fellow Rossians - I regularly attend events at Ross Court - as well as being a supporter and volunteer at as many events as possible throughout the year, I also go along to give talks, chat to residents and take part when I can. During this month of review, I was invited to one of their open days where various activities were taking place - including Belly Dancing and another volunteer with his Vintage MG. The residents were having a wonderful time on these activities and I could see the joy and enthusiasm on their faces no matter their age or abilities. They had been doing craft activities earlier and the way the volunteers and staff interact with the residents is always wonderful to see. It is always a great pleasure to visit, take part and interact - whenever my time allows - the staff are so caring, helpful and friendly which makes the residents home (which is what Ross Court is) a joy for them - a true home from home. Nothing is too much trouble."

"My 95yr old Mother has been a resident for nearly a year now and she and I have always found the management and all staff and carers very approachable, respectful, caring and nothing is too much trouble. There is a real family atmosphere and my mother's wellbeing is paramount to them both physically and mentally. For example, from entering during Lockdown due to Covid-19 with a fractured pelvis and was catheterised she now walks with a frame and after 6 months of persistence by the carers and district nurse is catheter free. A lovely home and beautiful gardens and lots of stimulating fun activities are on offer which my Mother readily participates in. 5 stars from us!"

I asked my friend if she was happy at Ross Court and she said yes, made me feel very welcome. She said the care she receives is outstanding.

"My mother-in-law has only been in Ross Court for two weeks; she was living in her own flat until recently her mobility became so bad, she was unable to care for herself. She had become very confused, and as much as we wanted to, we were unable to care for her ourselves. We are so happy with the care that she has received, although because of the circumstances, we are unable to visit her, we can phone her every day. She sounds so happy and well cared for, her confusion is less, and she seems more like her old self. The staff are friendly and helpful; there seems to be a real homely feel to Ross Court. Mother is enjoying the lovely food, the menu certainly looks impressive! We are looking forward to visiting her and sitting out in the beautiful grounds, which she has yet to explore."

"Ross Court helped our family at a very difficult time for us supplying first-class respite care for Mum who has Alzheimer’s. Whilst the transition from home to Ross Court was not a straight forward one due to the pandemic, the staff made mum very welcome and comfortable, quickly working out her quirks! Mum then had the stimulation she needed which would not have been available at home during this time and soon settled in. Thank you Ross Court for caring so well for mum during this time!"

"Mum was moved to Ross Court after being evacuated from the residential home where she had lived happily for 14 months. We were experiencing the worst floods we had seen in over 60 years. Mum has dementia and we worried about the effect the trauma would have on her mental health and the upheaval of change and leaving the stability of a routine and people she understood and trusted. The home went into lockdown mid-March but we needn't have worried. Luckily mum has a phone in her room, she laughs and chats happily with us and has empathy, something that we thought dementia had taken from her some time ago. My telephone conversations with her are reminiscent of a time when she was dementia-free. Any concerns have been dealt with sympathetically and reassuringly. I'm confident that mum is being looked after well and the level of care is of an exceptional standard. My confidence comes from the honest and openly caring attitude of the manager but more so the tone of my own mum's voice."

The home is very well managed, the staff an appropriate mix of professional and friendly, as his dementia has progressed they have treated him with dignity and respect. My father is comfortable and seems to enjoy the food. I hope that the new owners will invest in updating the fixtures and fittings - whilst they are all adequate they do appear dated and somewhat tired."

"My mother was apprehensive about "going into a home" - however, within a few days she was settled, happy and warmly welcomed by all staff, from the manager to the laundry - she was made to feel at home and relaxed. There are many activities available every day, she particularly enjoys the art group and church services. The rooms are bright, clean and can be personalised to the resident's taste. Visitors are welcome at any time, we feel very relaxed about popping in for a coffee/tea with Mum, or even joining in some of the events."

"Mum has been in Ross Court for 2 years now. She is very happy, stimulated and well cared for by attentive and cheerful staff. This month her Sky TV signal dropped and the home quickly arranged a rescue so she could continue to enjoy her tennis. It can be summed up in the phrase ' this care home smells like a hotel not a care home'."

"After my initial thoughts to move to a care home, I soon settled into my new life, taking part as much as possible in the homes activities. Thoughts of losing my independence were soon forgotten. My favourite places are the lovely gardens. The staff are helpful, friendly and cheerful and I feel lucky to call Ross Court my home. This is also a sentiment, that a friend of mine who visits me often shares with me. All the staff go to great lengths to give me the support I need. The managers door is always open for talks and advice to residents and their family and friends alike. The atmosphere at Ross Court is one of peace, pleasantness and loving care, just as you would expect in a happy family. I have no hesitation to recommend Ross Court to anyone looking for a home from home."

"I think Ross Court Care Home is a very good home, it is more like a luxury hotel. The atmosphere is great, very friendly, a high standard, it is very well maintained and the staff are always smart. The activities they provide are also a very valuable asset, you are occupied in a way that is appropriate for the individual. They have regular events that involve family and friends. The cost I know would deter some people but for those who can afford it, I thoroughly recommend it."

"All members of staff at every level are professional, dedicated, friendly and place the care and well being of our Mom at the centre of all they do. There is no doubt in our mind that the high standards met by Ross Court Care Home is set by the leadership and direction given by Ross Court Care Home Manager on a daily basis."

"My wife has the best attention possible and I have access to all senior staff at all times, if necessary. The best in the area. It is a pity that a nursing service is not offered because the care and support is almost up to that standard"

"Although it is 2 years since my Nan stayed here for respite care I would like to talk about this home. The staff were wonderful at all times with Nan. She only stayed for 2 weeks but in that short time she felt settled and happy,which for her as an independent lady was a massive task. Her room was beautiful and she couldn't wish for better care. Special mention to the carer who Nan really developed a special bond with. Thank you for making a difficult time that bit easier."

"I have been a friend of one resident for 77 years, Godmother to her son and concerned and involved with her life for nearly all those years. I knew of her family and the decision to place her in care. I went to visit soon after her arrival at Ross Court and was instantly impressed and have continued to be so. The care and compassion for her is instantly apparent and as her condition (onset Alzheimer's) became evident, I continue to see outstanding levels of professionalism and an exceptional manager and staff of the highest standard."

"Following surgery, my Mother has spent one month convalescing in the care of the home manager and her wonderful team at Ross Court. As a family we cannot speak highly enough of the care she has received, it has been absolutely outstanding. The manager and her team made my Mother incredibly welcome from the first moment we walked through the door. The time has flown by with Ross Court providing a full schedule of activities, encouraging all the residents to join in, which my Mother has really enjoyed. We would heartily recommend Ross Court to anyone looking for a full variety of care requirements either short or long term. It has been a home from home for the four weeks my Mother has stayed there. A jolly big Thank You to every single member of the team."

"Very clean and well organised. Staff very friendly. Only concern was another resident entered my mother's room when she was asleep. Apart from this incident, could not fault the care she received."

"I was hugely impressed with the bustling atmosphere of this lovely care home - not to wait for the grim reaper, but somewhere to go and live each day to the full within each individual's capacity. It was busy and engaging and there was plenty of communication between residents and staff. It was also relaxed and informal. Everyone we saw was treated with dignity and respect and an understanding that even though their memories/faculties might be failing, they were still people who had led rich and fulfilling lives. I regretted that my husband opted for a care home nearer to friends and family - I am confident that he would have been very content at Ross Court."

"My wife stayed at Ross Court for 11 days to give me respite. It is located on a beautiful site and easy to reach. The room she stayed in was airy, light, clean and comfortable with a nice view of the attractive garden. The staff were kind, friendly and thoughtful and unlike in some care homes, spoke often to my wife. All in all, her stay was very pleasant and we will try to come again."

"I stayed 10 days in Ross Court as I needed respite care following a hip replacement. I found the home comfortable, with caring and pleasant staff. I did find the lighting in my room a bit of a challenge. The ceiling light making the room rather gloomy and making reading difficult, but a bulb was changed."

"My husband who is a wheelchair case has been a resident for 11 months. I visit almost daily and always receive a friendly welcome from all the staff. The nursing care he is receiving is of the highest standard. The staff are extremely caring, friendly and understanding of his case. His room is not of the best but perfectly adequate for his needs as it is on the ground floor and being in a wheelchair during the day makes his life interesting watching the world go by."

"My mother was a resident at Ross Court for the final 6 years of her life, as she suffered from Alzheimer's. In these difficult circumstances, it has always been a great source of comfort and reassurance, as soon as it became clear that there could have been no better place for her to spend this time."

"I have visited Ross Court on many occasions over the last year. Ross Court is a beautiful house set in charming gardens and I am always greeted warmly by the friendly staff and management team. All rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, where residents can relax with friends and visitors, but what most impresses me are the events which are arranged for the enjoyment of residents but also to encourage a feeling of belonging with the local Community. These cater for a wide range of interests as well as charity fundraising coffee mornings, in the last year I have attended a murder mystery evening, enjoyed a picnic in the garden, watched a belly dancing demonstration to name just a few. I believe that many elderly people dread the thought of losing their independence due to needing care, but I believe that Ross Court do everything possible to make this home just that - Home!"

"My mother has been a resident at Ross Court for nearly two years and is very happy there. The staff are always happy and helpful and keep me advised of any medical needs or requirements. They send me the activities that are happening every month, so I know whats going on and also send me photos of days out or event, which is very helpful as my mother has dementia and doesn't always remember what she's done. I would thoroughly recommend Ross Court Care Home to anyone looking for a safe happy place for a relative."

"My Father has been in the care of Ross Court since the middle of the year and he was very apprehensive about being in a "care home". But the staff made him welcome and after several weeks, he started to settle in but stayed in his room a lot. Now they have coaxed him out he joins in with everything and is really happy. The only complaint he has, is about the food, he says it is "too good" and he really enjoys the varied menu and loves his Fish and Chips on Fridays."
