Overall Experience

My Mum has been at Scarbrough Court for 7 months now and I feel very grateful that she has a place there. My mum went from being an active, independent lady to needing full time nursing care after a significant stroke. During the last few difficult months the Scarbrough court care staff, nurses and

management have all been so kind and supportive. Mum receives excellent care in a clean and pleasant environment. The food seems to be very good and the kitchen staff are accommodating of mum's complex dietary needs. There are also regular enrichment activities organised, which makes for a friendly and inclusive atmosphere.

Reply from Samantha Buxton, Home Manager at Scarbrough Court

Thank you so much for your wonderful comments, after such a significant life changing event not only for Mum but for you as a family, that by Mum moving into Scarbrough Court has given you all, the reassurance that the care that Mum is receiving is excellent care.Thank you again for your lovely words.

Overall Experience

Mam came to live in Scarbrough Court in March 2024 until she sadly passed away in November 2025. I can honestly say she had an amazing experience as did all the family. The support, care, friendly and approachable staff (who were more like family) and love from everyone was first class and I would

not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone!
Thank you for everything xxx

Overall Experience

My mam went into Scarborough court following a long stint in hospital 5 years ago. It was a very difficult time as it was right before covid lockdown. The staff helped her settle in and stepped in where I wasn't able to. They kept me up to date with everything and still continue to do so. She's on

nursing and has lots going on medically but she's so well cared for the nursing team are always on the ball. She has her favourite carers who always manage to put a smile on her face when she's feeling upset or agitated. But all the team are so nice and caring I don't worry at all about her as I'm updated or informed when I need to be. The home itself is lovely..rooms are bright and big..nice grounds.. always something going on. Wouldn't have wanted mam anywhere else.
Thankyou team..you are appreciated.

Overall Experience

I have unfortunately had to visit three other homes over recent months and I can honestly say this one is by far the best. The staff not only care for my husband but are there for me also. I feel that they are my friends. There are many activities arranged and trips out in the mini bus. A party was

held for my husband's 90th Birthday. I get the feeling when I go on that the staff enjoy their work. I think the 5-star ratings say it all.

My Mum has been at Scarbrough Court for 6 months and I am very happy with the care she receives. Her needs are quite complex and she receives excellent medical support, I am always kept updated regarding her health issues and any further external practioner support/care required and conducted.
All

the the staff are always very approachable and welcoming.
I feel confident that my lovely Mum is good hands and well cared for at this time in her life, it's very difficult finding somewhere that ticks all the boxes and I feel like Scarbrough Court was a good choice. Thank you for giving her the kind and considerate care she deserves.

My dad chose Scarborough court as his end of life care unfortunately it came sooner than expected at only 11 days .
My dad received the most professional, caring and outstanding care in his short stay . Staff were attentive and intuitive to my dad's needs . As a daughter I could not have wished for

more . My dad was very happy.. Scarborough court is a beautiful homely and caring environment. Staff are attentive , professional and are clearly there because they care . I couldn't have wished for a more perfect place for my dad to be in his final days and will always be grateful for their care

Reply from Samantha Buxton, Home Manager at Scarbrough Court

Dad has only been here for four week now but has settled in very well, thanks to all of the staff here. They are very friendly and attentive. They seem to be prepared go above and beyond to help. The nursing staff have been most helpful with dad's requirements and medication. They also arranged for

the local minister from the nearby church to visit him.
We are delighted that dad is living here and know he is being well looked after. Thank you.

Our dad has only been at Scarborough Court for just over a week. The wait to get there was well worth it. The admission process was very easy which was helpful. The staff from the carers up to the management team have been so friendly and have put dads needs at the front of everything they are doing.

He is settled into a lovely room, it's all lovely and clean. We trust them very much to look after our dad.

Mum went into Scarborough Court for just over a week. We couldn't have found a better place for her to spend her last days. The staff soon felt like friends to us as a family visiting. They were so caring to mum and ourselves. When we stayed late/overnight, they provided food and drinks for us. Their

caring was so evident for us being there so briefly with mum. We couldn't wish for a better place for us to spend the last days with mum. Would definitely recommend.

Scarborough Court is a fantastic care home. The staff are wonderful, caring, patient and always have time to help with any worries you may have. The home sits in it's own grounds which makes it very pleasant to sit outside in the summer. There are always lots of activities for the residents to do. My

husbands care is second to none. I am so pleased I moved my husband into care here. He is content and happy.

Our mother was put into another care home in Northumberland on Good Friday. As a retired nurse, I was appalled at the conditions, I trained at a Hospital in London. My sister and her husband visited Scarborough Court and asked my husband and I to view a room when it became available. This is the type

of home we had no qualms leaving our mum in. It is a role model for elderly care.

I found my experience dealing with the staff who were at the home very helpful regarding my friend's ordeal when having to be transferred from another home to Scarborough Court when she was still very poorly. I have seen a great improvement in her health and outlook for her future in this short period

of time. I find the staff very pleasant and approachable.

Overall Experience

My Mam came to Scarborough Court with ongoing health issues and some traumatic experiences as a consequence. The warm welcome and excellent care, including facilitating faultless medical support from external practitioners ensured her health and well-being improved dramatically. The home is clean and

bright with lots of effort invested into the physical, mental, and social care of the residents. Scarborough Court stood out dramatically for me and my family when we were searching for a new home for my Mam to transition to when independent living was no longer viable. The relief to know she was in good hands and would thrive has been immense.

Reply from Samantha Buxton, Home Manager at Scarbrough Court

Thank you so much for your lovely comments and feedback, it is great to hear and receive such positive reviews. I'm so pleased that Mum has settled into life at Scarbrough Court and the care and support that Mum is receiving has given you peace of mind.

My aunt has been a resident of Scarborough Court for a year now. She has settled in well, thanks to the care staff looking after her. She enjoys the daily activities and the outings, and to see her settled, safe, and comfortable is a pleasure for her family to see. The care staff are welcoming, and

honest and keep me informed of my aunt’s progress. I would recommend Scarborough Court, it feels like home and one big family.

Overall Experience

My mam came to Scarborough Court in November 2023 after living in two other care homes. She has a rare neurological condition, so finding the right environment for her has been a challenge. Since moving here, she has started to smile and even laugh once again. She’s no longer just surviving - she is

thriving. Staff are approachable and always visible (we have previous experience of feeling like there is no one around in other homes). Mealtimes are almost like a visit to a restaurant where residents sit together in a large dining room with a very sociable atmosphere. The food is of a very high standard and there is plenty of choice.
The home is clean and always smells fresh, which is a huge thing for us.
Finally, the home also has resident animals that the residents and family members all respond very positively to.
Highly recommend Scarborough Court; since our mam has been here, we’ve felt so much more relaxed and happy.

Reply from Samantha Buxton, Home Manager at Scarbrough Court

Thank you so much for your beautiful words and comments; I'm so proud of the team that you feel Mum's life is being enhanced by the care she is receiving at Scarborough Court. It's wonderful to hear the whole team, regardless of their roles, is amazing.
