I visited my mum's best friend. I met her in the main entrance where we sat and chatted for an hour. My mum's friend was waiting for me in the warm entrance, we were greeted by friendly staff and offered and given drinks (including soya milk) and cake. The hall was light with huge windows looking on
a busy court yard so lots to see. At one point my mum's friend said, she'd like to go out with us and staff said she'd need staff with her for safety. She also said the food was generally good and she liked her room. Staff seemed lovely and supportive. The gorgeous trees at the front were beautiful. Car parking was plentiful. The hall was clean and nicely decorated. Toilets were clean and spacious.

Visiting an old friend who's a new resident. I telephoned the day before and the staff checked and she was was available in afternoon of the next day. When I arrived, she was in the welcoming hall waiting for us, staff came out and made us all cups of tea and a delicious chocolate and cherry cake. We
had a lovely time, staff were always present but never intrusive. Top service.

From my initial home assessment with a senior carer, I felt that I would be welcomed and well looked after at Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home, which proved to be the case.
The on duty staff all came to meet me which made me feel very comfortable, and they all ensured that my every need was tended
to.
My room was spotless and well appointed, including a reclining chair which I use at home making it feel like a home from home!
The meals were varied and delicious, with good choices and were served to my preferred portion size.
And at all times the staff were very responsive when I used my call button, day and night, and the care that I received was top notch at all times.
This was my first stay at Cookridge Court, and it has now become my preferred choice for future respite stays.

I cannot praise the care and staff enough for looking after my husband, I was encouraged to go and see him at all times and made to feel welcome, the staff always asked me if I was ok and gave me a cup of tea, they were all polite and respectful, they kept me in touch at all times about his health and
care. I will have no doubts in recommending the way my lovely husband was cared for at Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home. God bless them all and I will miss your friendship.

At all times, I found all the staff to be caring, friendly, efficient and just really pleasant. They showed genuine affection for the residents and concern for her welfare.
The building itself is beautifully designed and furnished so that it is comfortable and not intimidating yet of the highest standard.

My recently bereaved friend has an Alzheimer's diagnosis and is no longer able to care for herself. In researching and visiting several local care homes, Cookridge Court was the one putting up the most friendly welcome, homely environment and a genuine and passionate sense of care for their residents.
The helpfulness of staff in finding and through the process of securing long-term (permanent) residential care was amazing - nothing was too much trouble. My friend has quickly settled in to her new environment, is making new friends and enjoys the varied organised activities and the support of all of the staff.

You looked after my mum for over two years. They were very difficult times for all of us, as a family, at the outset. Thankfully we were helped immensely by all the staff at Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home. It did not take too long for Mum to settle in and love her new 'home'. She made great friends
with other residents and staff. The many and varied activities were a great asset and helped Mum settle in. Thank you for becoming friends as well as carers.

As a wife of one of the residents I came here for respite as my daughter and family were on holiday. I was here for two weeks, and so appreciated the same care as all residents. I would highly recommend it here as the level of care was in my opinion superb. I am wheelchair-bound and found that nothing
was too much trouble.

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.

I made the very difficult decision of putting to put my mum into a care home. I now realise it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. My mum has settled very well, she is more energised and motivated than I have seen in the past few years. This is due to the care, professional and dedicated
staff. Nothing is ever too much trouble for them, whether it's just chatting, entertaining them or encouraging the residents to get involved with the activities. Cookridge Court is the care home I would highly recommend.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) out of 10 for Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.922 for Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.922

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Cookridge Court Care Home is based on 22 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 96 registered maximum number of service users is 19.2, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Adrian just became a Dad and really enjoys singing and cuddling the new arrival. Hobbies are Gym and running.
