My father-in-law is cared for here and right from the start felt it was his home
He loves the meals and also his room which is on suite, he values his privacy and this is always respected.
He recently has been ill and the staff have taken care of him and made sure he had received GP and a brief spell
in hospital as an inpatient.
He told me he was very happy to be back HOME when out of hospital
One day I arrived to see him sat in the courtyard having a cool drink and a chat with other residents.
Myself and my husband are relieved we found a place he is happy and content.
The Staff always make us feel welcome on visits. We had previously visited care homes and this was not the case.
Finding this place and so local to our community was a relief
Thankyou

This home does not have a garden. It has a small courtyard (about 15' x 15') in front, with a couple of seats and some plants in, but this is not freely accessible as the building is locked. My friend became very depressed as she would spend a lot of time in her garden previously. Her bedroom was
dark with a window above eye level and no view apart from up to other's bedrooms. This room should not be used as a bedroom. The meals which I saw were small, some parts appeared to be from a packet or frozen, eg the mash or vegetables. The teatime meal, at 5 pm, was regularly only a 'Cream cheese sandwich',- these had little filling, and no garnish of any sort. It appeared the least possible amount of money was spent on food; my friend visibly failed to thrive. For recreation, there was only the lounge/dining area. For £500 per person per week, much more could be expected. This home is outdated and in not having a garden, fails to meet the basic human need for exercise and/or fresh air.

Howard Court has a paved courtyard 25' x 30' which is bordered by numerous, boxes, tubs and hanging baskets containing flowers and foliage. Although we are a locked unit, during the warmer months, residents are encouraged to sit outside on our oak garden furniture to enjoy the sunshine, chat with staff, or partake in ball games. Residents also help with the planting and harvesting of vegetables in our recently acquired raised bed.


Our home was originally part of a coaching inn with bedrooms of various shapes and sizes, some of which, still contain the original oak beams, which we believe adds to its character.


All our meals are prepared daily from fresh produce sourced from local suppliers. The main meal is served at lunchtime with a smaller meal for dinner. Portion sizes are specific to a particular resident's wishes and tastes, with an option always available. However, should a resident request a dish they particularly like, we will do our utmost to produce this for them.


Entertainers frequently visit to offer music therapy or church services, which residents are encouraged to get involved with. Bingo, 'What's in the Box' and indoor bowls are other examples of the activities which regularly take place, not forgetting, the animals which visit for residents to pat and stroke.


Here at Howard Court we think of our Residents as part of our family and are passionate about the care we offer them. I am extremely disappointed with the review we have received and, quite frankly, surprised it has taken the reviewer (the name of whom has never signed into our Visitors Book) 11 months to compose.
