My husband spent his last few weeks in Bay Court Residential & Nursing Home. He really didn't want to go into a home and couldn't understand why he couldn't be at home. With patience, respect and understanding, he came to realise that every member of staff was "fantastic". His words of which he had very few in the end.

Care home is very friendly and very social and fun. Nothing is too much trouble.

My 86-year-old father came to live with you directly from the hospital. He was very poorly and weak when he arrived. We felt that Dad was treated with so much dignity, care and patience at all times. All staff went out of their way to make us feel very welcome and afforded us the time to ask questions about Dad’s condition and ongoing treatment. We were particularly impressed with how the staff would always talk to Dad upon entering his room, even when he slept, and explain to him what they were about to do to him. When he was conscious he would often have conversations with the staff and none of them tried to hurry him up - they showed great interest in everything he told them. The staff were of great emotional support to the family at some very intense moments and reacted very quickly to ease Dad’s increasing pain every time it was required. In addition, your catering staff were very accommodating, both for my Mum, who spends every mealtime with Dad, and also for me and my siblings.

I found that the home responded very quickly to any positive comment on how to improve my aunt's care. The whole staff worked well together and information was shared quickly. Any contact with the staff was a pleasant experience. I can’t speak highly enough about Bay Court Residential & Nursing Home.

My 90-year-old aunt is a recent resident of Bay Court Residential & Nursing Home. I visited her quite a few times and she always has wonderful words to say about the carers and management of the residential home. No inch is spared in ensuring that my aunt is comfortable and happy. My aunt went into Bay Court directly from hospital and when she was in very poor health. I had met her when she was in hospital a month before she was admitted into Bay Court. My aunt was very weak and frail and unsure about herself. She was not the strong woman I remembered. The next I met her was in Bay Court. The difference in her health and overall mental state was so very noticeable. Aunty was eating better, sounded so much more positive in her outlook, looked safe and secure and very happy where she was. This was despite her reservations of giving up her own home and moving into a residential home. This says a lot about the care and love that she receives at Bay Court. Thank you management and carers of Bay Court Residential Home.

Bay Court was the home of my friend for just over a year, he passed away in June 2023. My partner and I only saw my friend a few times and yet whilst my partner and I were there we were very impressed. We only met a few of the staff and the staff wore their uniforms including badges with their names on. We also liked and appreciated my friend could bring items from his former home to Bay Court as well as have photos of his family and my partner and I to make his room homely. The last time I spoke to my friend was on his birthday and a few days before he passed away. In turn, the staff team took a photo of my friend and in turn they emailed it to me, as little did anyone know my friend was going to pass away a few days later. Bay Court seems to be a good place and not only a place people call home but also a place of work where people or visitors can share experiences, knowledge, expertise, opinion and be heard, welcomed, and valued.

Dad has been here for just a few weeks. He settled in quickly and seems to be very happy. When we chatted about the home his only complaint was there was too much food! The food is so good Dad needs bigger trousers! Dad finds communication hard as he is profoundly deaf but people take time to write him notes and include him in everything that's going on. Staff will give him a game of chess when time allows which is good brain stimulation. I am able to relax knowing Dad is safe and happy.

Bay Court Residential & Nursing Home has been an excellent choice for my father-in-law. The staff especially the manager have been so understanding of not only my father in laws needs but the rest of the family, especially my mother-in-law. From a tricky start, he seems very settled now which we are extremely grateful.

So lovely to visit and see how happy my aunty is, with her hair done and nails painted, she has always taken great pride in herself - always worn make-up etc. She also enjoys the activities and company. Keep up the good work you are doing. Thank you. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

After visiting my auntie in a previous home, this is amazing. The staff are very friendly and helpful. My auntie looks lovely - hair and cleanliness are exceptional - nails painted. She loves being here and feels at home. Well done everyone for doing an amazing job.

Always made very welcome when I visit my sister; I could not ask for any more. Care for my sister I find her very well cared for at all times; she seems to be content and settled as much as near to being at home. I find the staff very pleasant and efficient. I feel that the care my sister is getting is excellent.

I moved from another home that I was not happy with. I am at home at Bay Court now and I am happy here.

Dad is very well cared for at Bay Court Nursing Home. The home is well managed, and we find all the staff to be personable, caring and friendly. Dad appreciates the activities staff taking him to the town and seafront, and he really enjoys the freshly cooked meals and good menu selection. We are very happy with the care given at Bay Court.

My mother spent her last 7 months in Bay Court Residential & Nursing Home and received excellent care. On arrival, she was not expected to last long but through careful management, constant support and demonstrable involvement she enjoyed her last days in a friendly and comfortable setting. The staff were always attentive, cheerful and interested. My mother had a second, or perhaps third or fourth, wind while there and this made the last days dignified and peaceful. We visited very regularly, during difficult lockdown rules, and were always impressed with the diligence and professionalism of the team. Thank you for making it more bearable than it could have been.

My mum was transferred from the hospital to Bay Court for respite care, and our family was so happy with the care that she has been able to remain there. Her bedroom is bright and well-decorated, and the home is meticulously clean and well kept. The manager runs a very well organised and staffed home with a calm and happy atmosphere. We are happy that Covid's safety precautions are still very much adhered to. Staff are all caring and patient with my mum.

Very comforting to know that my father-in-law is in a safe and happy environment, which I would recommend to family and friends. I would like to comment that the telephone is always picked up by a member of staff, rather than recorded rang bock facility.

My mother was in Bay Court for her last few weeks of life. The staff were caring and thoughtful and treated her with wonderful care and respect. They made us as a family feel welcome and informed us of any changes they felt would need our attention for our mother. Her room was welcoming and light. We were so happy for her to be in a place where we knew that she felt cared for. We cannot recommend Bay Court highly enough.

Love family visiting daily. Like my bedroom. Like going in the garden. Like food very much.
