Reviews for Sherwood Court Care Home

Mum and I visited today to have a look around. Sue’s welcome was outstanding. She was so patient, friendly and helpful.
The home had a lovely feel and care we witnessed was very good.

"Sherwood Court is an excellent care home. My sister is recuperating after a knee replacement operation and the care she has received is excellent. The staff are very caring and friendly. All her needs are catered for and she is very happy and relaxed. I would recommend Sherwood Court for anyone who is recuperating from an operation. The standards of care are very high. Every need is matched. The activities coordinator is excellent. Manager is a real star."

"The staff at this Carehome from the Top management to the Cleaners Helpers could not do enough for you . Nothing was too much and always done with a smile ....as the saying goes "they went the extra mile" A hearty congratulations to all staff for making the Residents relaxed and very happy."

"A BIG THANKYOU to all the staff for treating our Mum to a lovely special 92 nd birthday on Friday 20th .My two brothers had travelled up for the day from the south of England to share the day too .From the decorations to the fabulous cake and the loving attention from the staff who were working hard as usual in extreme temperatures but the atmosphere as always was cheerful and nothing was too much trouble for them .A really heart warming and an enjoyable day all round .As usual it was hard to leave her but we all felt she was in the best possible loving caring hands which is a massive relief so once again THANKYOU !!"

"Superb support facility. I and my sister have been impressed with the staff, I had to say this, as I supported people for 15 years as I displayed in the boxed review below."

"My wife has just recently been moved to Sherwood with mixed dementia. First impressions have been good. Staff are quick to attend when asked. The room is ok if a little small, but it meets her needs. I like the food being prepared on site, it is a big improvement from her previous home. I would prefer to have 2 nursing staff, not one. There are a lot of residents for 1 nurse. The reception team are very good and I have plenty of chats with them. All in all, first impressions are good."

"My husband stayed at Sherwood Court for 2 weeks respite care. During that time my husband had a few problems which the staff dealt with very well. They were always very friendly and helpful and professional, both with my husband and myself. It's not an easy time when you need respite care and you're leaving your loved one in someone else's hands, but I felt our experience there was a good one and I would use them again."

"My Dad had been a resident at another local Barchester home but after a fall needed a great level of care. We were recommended to see Sherwood Court and fell in love at first sight. We felt an immediate rapport and the Manager took considerable effort to find Dad a room. Despite being 97, he has settled in amazingly well and been made to feel very welcome. The staff have been exceedingly attentive and welcoming to him and us. The level of care is superb. The facilities and grounds are really well maintained and the staff take huge pride in their roles. When we arrived, Dad hadn't eaten for 2 weeks and has taken to the food immediately. Friendly, attentive, skilled and loving. What more could I say !"

"My relative has been a Dementia resident at Sherwood Court for over two years, so I am in a good position to tell you all about it - I spend a lot of time there. In one word It is ''OUTSTANDING'' on every level - It is so humbling to see what challenges all the staff deal with on a daily basis and how they support one another when times can be tough, it is clear it is not just a job for them, it is one big hardworking family that love what they do. No two residents are the same, they all have differing needs. Unless like us you have to use this service for a loved one you cannot and will never appreciate what a tremendously hard job ''ALL'' the staff do. ''Everyone'' has an important role to play - Chef, Admin, Caring/Nursing, Cleaners, DIY, Manager etc To see the happy faces, the fun and enjoyment from all the residents that are clearly ''so well cared for'' this in itself is the best recommendation - Hold your heads up and be very proud! Thank you and Well Done to the Manager"

"After loosing Dad it became obvious to my sister and I that Mum needed 24/7 dementia care. We were supported all the way by friendly staff during the harrowing experience of having to place Mum into care. All concerns and fears were quickly alleviated as mum settled in to her new surroundings very quickly. Special mention must go to the activities coordinators for providing the stimulation Mum needs. Mum has visitors most days where we can take her for coffee and cake in the plush surroundings of the cafe."

"My husband has been in Sherwood Court for over a year now and I am very happy with his care. The staff treat him (and me) like family and I find this very comforting. All the staff know him (and me) by name and again this is very reassuring. The coffee shop and reception area are really welcoming and have the best cake.The musical entertainment is his favourite activity and he actually sings along.It has taken a while but I think my husband has finally settled and I can leave each day confident that he has the best care and understanding . Thank you for making my life a little easier."

"My grandad is a resident at Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home and I cannot fault the staff or care. The staff are very respectful and care for the residents as if they are their own. The manager is very approachable and cares about all her residents. I would recommend Sherwood Court to anyone who is looking for compassionate care for their loved one."

"My father was at Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home from March 2024 until he sadly passed away August 2024. My father loved the nursing home and was very happy there. We all found the staff amazing. They were all very professional and delivered high standards of care. We visited daily and found the home very warm and welcoming. The coffee shop area and outside area were very lovely. My father loved the activities. The manager was excellent and the home and all staff were amazing. Thank you Sherwood Court."

Sherwood Court looked after my Mum for 9 years and they couldn't have done more for her. It truly became her home. Yes, there was staff changes over the years as often happens in care settings but she was always looked after.
The wider team at Sherwood Court and Barchester played a role in Mum's support and enhancing her day to day life.
During covid they provided immeasurable support to us and mum. Assisting ĥer to remain in touch with us, providing updates so we were always up to date with Mum's situation and facilitating "visits" as soon as possible.
Over the year's we occasionally had an issue that needed addressing and it was always dealt with quickly.
Mum was treated with love, respect and care throughout her time at Sherwood and we were always greatful that a place became available at the right time.

"My mum is a service user, and my brother and I live in Ireland so we're unable to visit very often. However we do get regular feedback - and pictures - from our sister; and it is an absolute ease to us that mum is so well cared for - including her (96th!) birthday celebration and cake she was given this last weekend. My sincere thanks to all your staff for the top class and loving care they provide for our mum"

"My friend is a resident of the nursing home. She has been well cared for in the home, by the nursing and care team. The management team and reception team are absolutely amazing, thank you so much for all the love and care."

The staff at Sherwood Court looked after my Dad in his last weeks and they were all wonderful. I wouldn’t have wanted him to be anywhere else. My Mum has been a resident there for almost three years and when Dad became ill they pulled out all the stops to make a room available for him so that he could be close to his wife. This meant so much to Dad and all his family. We will always be grateful for their care and support.
