Overall Experience

Very impressed with everything (cannot comment on value for money as I don't have the information). All the staff I have met whilst visiting my friend are all extremly helpful, pleasant, kind and efficient, both admin staff and care staff.
My friend might only be there temporarily for respite but everyone

has made her very welcome, have accommodated her needs and treated her with total kindness and respect.

Overall Experience

Following the closure of another care home, my Mum moved into Stradbroke Court, she was welcomed with open arms which made the move so much easier than I expected. The staff are all lovely and helpful and the food is a huge improvement from the previous place. We can go at any time which with me working

is a great help, and we can also take our dog in which the residents seem to enjoy. Thank you to everyone involved.

Overall Experience

Stradbroke Court is providing excellent care for my husband. He has a newly refurbished room, and his food and drink requirements are monitored and linked to his medical needs. Most of all our family are thankful to the kind and dedicated team of carers. If there are any different health issues these

are always referred to the GP who visits regularly. He has benefitted recently from the use of a newly designed wheelchair. I am updated regularly by the admin team on email, newsletters, and posters about changes and activities. Regular meetings have enabled family and friends to ask questions about procedures and to contribute to ideas about changes and future activities. He and I am experiencing 'assisted living' at its best. Thank you.

Reply from Davina Button, Home Manager at Stradbroke Court

Thank you, the staff were really happy hearing your feedback. We have been trying as a team to make the home a more special place for people and loved ones; to create an inclusive atmosphere and environment, welcoming family and friends. We strive to improve daily and provide high-quality care at all times. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Care and support can't be faulted. Always treated with dignity and person-centred care. The food is excellent and the home is very clean. Changes implemented by the head office have resulted in a recent high turnover of staff. We hope that Mum's high quality of care will not deteriorate because of this.

The care staff are wonderful and need to be valued, appreciated, and perhaps paid more.

Reply from Davina Button, Home Manager at Stradbroke Court

Thank you. We strive each day to make the home a more wonderful place, to provide a high standard of care and to make every resident as happy and as comfortable as possible. We pride ourselves on our cleanliness and the standard of our meals, yet try every day to make everything even better. The staff always appreciate good feedback and I will ensure your positivity is passed along. Thank you.

Overall Experience

Mum has been in Stradbroke Court for over three years. Initially, she was very withdrawn, but the home has been proactive in encouraging her to join in with group activities. She has always been well looked after by the friendly and helpful staff. Throughout the pandemic, they were proactive again with

encouraging video calls as we couldn't visit face-to-face and have loosened visiting restrictions as possible whilst keeping up to date with local guidelines. She always seems very happy whenever I visit, and I've had no concerns at all during Mum's stay here.

Reply from Viktor Zak, Regional Manager at Stradbroke Court

Thank you very much for your positive feedback and for appreciating our efforts. It is a pleasure to have your mum at Stradbroke Court. Thank you again.

Overall Experience

The managers and staff have been most supportive of my mother and I through very difficult times. They were able to encourage people to adhere to very strict lockdown restrictions in a way in which the Prime Minister was not.
Even the ridiculous restrictions were enforced, which made life even more

difficult for staff. (I refer here to some of the PPE requirements).
Now that restrictions are largely lifted, I look forward to engaging more with the daily life of the home. Staff have been very helpful throughout, and I thank them for that.

Reply from Viktor Zak, Regional Manager at Stradbroke Court

Thank you very much for your encouraging words and feedback. Recognising that the last 2 years have been very difficult ones for all of us is very much appreciated. We all look forward to having the good old days of open doors to all visitors back soon. Thank you again!

Overall Experience

Mum moved into Stradbroke Court in early 2020 just before the first Covid lockdown. I have been really pleased with the way in which she has been cared for during a very difficult time for all and the staff and management. They have worked really hard to give excellent care and support to Mum. I live

two to three hours away from Lowestoft, which hinders visiting, even during normal times - making it very important that the staff and management have been very effective in maintaining good communication with me. I am always made to feel very welcome when I visit, and all the team are very friendly. When I visit Mum, she always seems happy and cheerful, which is very reassuring. I would echo one of the other reviewers in stating that it was a very easy decision when I had to make a choice on which care home - Stradbroke Court stood head and shoulders above other homes we considered in the area. Heartfelt thanks to all the team.

I am a private carer for a lady with vascular dementia, who, at present remains living at home. She has recently spent two weeks in Stradbroke Court for respite. The staff made her stay a happy experience, she settled immediately and was always happy and smiling when I visited her. A big heartfelt thank

you to the manager and her team for making this lady so welcome. Lovely home and well run, would definitely recommend.

Overall Experience

My lovely dad joined the wonderful care of Stradbroke Court in November 2019. Over the last 18 months or so, I really don’t know what we would have done and how we would have coped if it wasn’t for them.
The care and compassion he has received have been ‘beyond the call of duty’.
Dad celebrated his

90th Birthday in May 2020 during the lockdown, Dad has always been a keen football fan, and before we knew what was happening, he was receiving video calls from the players with memorabilia and even a cake; we were utterly blown away!
When myself and my sister toured the local care homes (with a clipboard in hand) searching for the one most suited to Dad’s needs, it turned out to be a very easy choice indeed, there really wasn’t any comparison.
We have been so very lucky as Stradbroke Court made the transition from Dad’s home to his new home stress-free for us, and for that, we are truly grateful.
Thank you.

Reply from Viktor Zak, Regional Manager at Stradbroke Court

We would like to thank you for your beautiful words of appreciation. Words like these, together with your dad's company and smile, give sense to what we do. Thank you.
