My 92 year old mum Margaret has enjoyed 2 stays at Ross Court over the last few months whilst we have been away. Amy, Hayley, Brenda, Louise and the whole Team at Ross Court have made mum feel very welcome from the moment she arrived. I can't praise the Team enough for their kindness and compassion. Mum has stayed in 2 different rooms both of which were lovely. The door near Room 31 can be a bit noisy but that was the only slight drawback. Mum found the food at Ross Court to be excellent and really enjoyed the weekly quiz. Hayley runs different activities every day for residents and guests to partake in if they wish. There is always something going on and new things to try. Mum was not in Ross Court for Easter, coming home a few days before. However the Team gave her an Easter egg when she left which was a lovely gesture and made her day. Mum has asked if, in future, when we are away she can go back to Ross Court for her holiday. We are very happy to oblige and would like to thank the Team for everything they do.

I have recently started running a monthly sewing session for the wonderful residents of Ross Court. I have been warmly welcomed into the home by the staff each session and absolutely love my time there. The residents are very sociable and enjoy talking about the different activities and visitors they have had as well as sharing heart warming snippets from their very varied and interesting lives. The care home is friendly, well presented and has a feeling of home from home comfort. I'm already looking forward to my next session.

Ross Court is a lovely home to work.
residents are well looked after.
I have worked at the home for over 8 years.
I love getting involved with activities, at Easter we decorated wooden spoons and put on display in local village. a couple of weeks ago we bought a griddle machine, the residents got involved making Welsh cakes and today we made pancakes with fresh fruit.
I concider myself to be a resident buddy, everyone feels like part of my family.
we recently bought a minibus, so hopefully soon we will be back out on weekly trips visiting garden centres, and picnics in parks can't wait.
They always look forward to getting out.
Because we haven't been allowed due to covid, I have been taking photos of the daffodils and all the pretty blossom and shown them to the residents.
The bluebells are just beginning to come out so our first trip will be hopefully to see them.

I've been a contractor here for 8 years and the receptionist is always very welcoming and always offers tea and coffee. The manager and staff are very beautiful always smiling. It's a very well maintained place. The maintenance is a lovely guy. And all the residents always look like they're having a good time. I would gladly retire here when I get older

"The admission process was beautifully handled - especially as Mum was in a Stroke Unit far from Ross Court and this was just before Christmas. The Home itself has been refurbished to a high standard. All staff were caring, polite and efficient. Even in the short time Mum was there we really got to know them extremely well. It was good to witness the residents meeting where they were encouraged to say anything at all that they felt they needed to. I was just wondering whether this may be continued on a more personal level in residents rooms as some may be reluctant to speak out in front of others? I really appreciate the fact that management were always available if you needed them. Thank you."

"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."

"I was welcomed into the care home by very friendly staff and soon settled in my room which has a view of trees from the window. All the staff are kind and caring, understanding and helpful. I enjoyed all the activities which I joined and was able to meet other residents. The meals were delicious and varied and I enjoyed them. Thank you for a lovely stay and break - for myself and my daughter who looks after me at home."

"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."

"Mum has now been at Ross Court for over 7 years and is well-settled and cared for by all the staff, which is much appreciated. She enjoys the food, particularly the homemade cakes. 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. We appreciate the new management support and look forward to the building refurbishment and completion."

"All staff have been welcoming when admitting my mum to Ross Court. The newly refurbished areas add to the ambience of the premises and the new furniture enhances the overall standard of accommodation. The manager and staff are always helpful when we have any questions concerning my mother's well-being. On occasions we have visited when activities are taking place, my mother enjoys the stimulation for her mental health."

"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."

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."

"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."

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."

You can see they love what they do. Love that they do activities to get the residents socialising. It helps me massively knowing Dad is being cared for 24/7.

"My father moved into Ross Court Care Home last spring and we have found the staff to be patient and excellent with him. He has Alzheimer's so can be quite challenging sometimes. His needs are met daily. My only recommendation would be for regular sit-downs with the manager or senior staff to review how he is doing. Although it is the cold season and staff are busy, it would be good if he could be taken for a walk each day, as he misses the outdoors."

"Food excellent. I explained to staff I had all my facilities, complaints not knocking at bedroom door for entry. Been there three days when head nurse entered my room and opened my wardrobe, what are you doing I asked, reply getting you a clean shirt you have had that white one on three days, I only wear white and change every two days. Told her don't come to my room again. Complaint 2) two strangers in my room, did not know where they were. Security shocking. Will not be returning."

"Dad enjoyed his stay at Barchester Ross Court Care Home, he was unsettled to begin with but soon found his way around and made friends. He especially enjoyed the activities and food.
