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.

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.

Visiting my cousin after she had settled into Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home after being ill 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.
