The gentleman I visited and was his contact for his stay in Cosham Court was well cared for during his 18 months stay. His personal needs were addressed and he was treated with kindness and dignity, even when he was difficult. Whenever there were concerns about his well-being, I was always contacted
and when necessary he was visited by a doctor. I always received a warm welcome following a 100 mile journey to visit. Overall I know he was given good care and died peacefully. A huge thank you to Cosham Court staff.

Cosham Court is welcoming, clean, tidy, staff are friendly and helpful and organised. Activities look great and the home is always decorated. The food looks nice. My grandmother is happy. The carers sing with my grandmother and call her the dancing queen.

Both my father (2020-1) and my mother (April-Nov 2024) have been residents under the long-term care of Cosham Court Nursing Home. So I write this review on the basis of consistent observations across those years. I could never lavish enough praise upon, nor commend more highly, the diligent staff and
excellent quality of care I have seen. One senses that the happiness and well-being of residents truly matters to the nursing staff for whom care is no doubt a vocation and not merely a job. In the course of our regular visits, we came to know some of the nursing staff well, and had no doubt of their dedication to their work as carers nor any doubt that the quality of care for both my parent was of the highest order. Finally, but not least, I must commend the manager and administrator under whose excellent management such a consistent culture of quality care and diligence has been enabled. The kindest, friendliest, and sincerest people one could hope to manage a nursing home.

My dear wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer in 2023. After chemo and times in hospital, she was moved to Cosham Court Nursing Home. For my wife, me and the whole family this was a great thing to have happened. The friendly atmosphere, the dedication of the staff and their care for my wife were exemplary.
It was a pleasure to attend every day and be treated with such kindness and respect and to witness first hand the fondness shown to my wife.

My wife spent her last few weeks at Cosham Court with staff that had permanent smiles, patience, and a gift to persuade residents to do the right thing. My love wife was a placid person, but very aware of the care she received from staff, always thanking them with a touch of the cheek or hand, this
spoke volumes for me to see her so relaxed. She loved her time in the lounge, with the staff member, keeping her amused. From my family and myself, many thanks. From managers to tea lady, bless you all.

Reply from Charisma Williams, Manager at Cosham Court

Thank you so much for your kind words. Our team takes great pride in creating a warm and compassionate environment, and it's wonderful to know that it brought comfort to you & your family.

My Dad was admitted to Cosham Court in Feb 2024 as a permanent resident with 1-2-1 care until he sadly passed on 1 August 2024. We couldn't fault his carers, nursing staff, and the management. Dad was treated with kindness, compassion, and dignity. I would visit most days and felt very welcome too.
Staff were extremely friendly and polite and we appreciate the care Dad received. My Dad had Parkinson's Disease and dementia but we were content he was comfortable and taken good care of and happy as he could be right until his last day. He had a close bond with four members of staff in particular. I can't thank everyone enough for being there for my Dad in his final few months. I highly recommend Cosham Court they look after you to the highest standard possible. Thank you to each and every single one of the lovely staff from all of the family for treating my Dad so fantastically. Much Love and best wishes to you all.

Staff friendly, found it difficult to find staff who know most problems. The room is not very clean, items are on the floor. The resident's food and drink preferences were not catered for very well. Found hairs in her hairbrush often. The manager is friendly and helpful. Took after (7 months) to get
a refund after the resident's death.

My wife was admitted to The Court Nursing Home 9 months ago suffering from advanced dementia where it was no longer possible to provide her with the standard and level of medical and nursing care at home that she needed.
Since admission, she has settled in very well and is happy and comfortable there.
The
management and staff are excellent providing well for all of her needs both medically and socially.
It has been a great comfort for me and our family that she is well looked after
I would have no hesitation in recommending this nursing home as an excellent option for the care of a loved one should this become necessary.
Many thanks to all at The Court for all that you do for us.

My dad was at Cosham Court for respite over Christmas for 6 weeks. He really enjoyed it and we saw a big increase in his mobility, his mood lifted with the activities and his mental health improved because of all the company, the staff were very happy and kind and thoughtful we would definitely put
Dad back at Cosham Court if need be. They cared very well for him.

Even though my wife was a short time in the home, I was given a very favourable impression. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Even though the building was fairly old, it was spotlessly clean and well-equipped.

My wife was transferred from hospital to Cosham Court to receive continuing care under the NHS system. The staff could not have been more considerate and helpful at what was a distressing time for me. The attention and gentleness of the staff made her last days as comfortable as possible. It was a comfort
to me to know that they watched out for her when I was absent. Her passing was treated with dignity and compassion. Thank you for all you did for her.

Our dad was admitted after being hospitalized due to a fall.
As beds were needed we were told he had to be admitted here.
On first viewing, I thought the place looked a bit tired to say the least.
However, we met with the manager and were very impressed with her passion for the job and her total
professionalism and care.
Dad was admitted and in no time made to feel comfortable and at ease.
So don't judge a book by its cover the staff were all professional and caring to the utmost lead by a fantastic manager, even if the building looks a bit below par residents are treated with respect and courtesy.

Reply from Charisma Williams, Manager at Cosham Court

Thank you for sharing this experience! It's a reminder that sometimes appearances can be deceiving. It's wonderful to hear that your dad received such exceptional care and attention from the staff and the manager. It goes to show that the quality of care often outweighs the aesthetics of the facility. Your comment serves as a testament to the dedication and professionalism of the staff, and it's so lovely to hear that your dad felt comfortable and at ease during his stay. Truly, don't judge a book by its cover; it's the people inside who make all the difference. Hope all is well with your dad.

Dad was admitted in April 2023 from a care home after losing his mobility for an assessment of his needs. He became frail quite quickly, it soon became apparent that he needed end-of-life care. We were accommodated respectfully and sensitively. Dad's final months were made as comfortable as possible,
for which we are very grateful. He passed peacefully on 24/07/2023.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.642)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.642) out of 10 for Cosham Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.642 for Cosham Court is calculated as follows: ( (211 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 293 Ratings = 4.642

  • 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 Cosham Court is based on 24 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
