After loosing Dad it became obvious to my sister and I that Mum needed 24/7 dementia care. We were supported all the way by friendly staff during the harrowing experience of having to place Mum into care. All concerns and fears were quickly alleviated as mum settled in to her new surroundings very quickly. Special mention must go to the activities coordinators for providing the stimulation Mum needs. Mum has visitors most days where we can take her for coffee and cake in the plush surroundings of the cafe.

My husband has been in Sherwood Court for over a year now and I am very happy with his care. The staff treat him (and me) like family and I find this very comforting. All the staff know him (and me) by name and again this is very reassuring. The coffee shop and reception area are really welcoming and have the best cake.The musical entertainment is his favourite activity and he actually sings along.It has taken a while but I think my husband has finally settled and I can leave each day confident that he has the best care and understanding . Thank you for making my life a little easier.

My grandad is a resident at Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home and I cannot fault the staff or care. The staff are very respectful and care for the residents as if they are their own. The manager is very approachable and cares about all her residents. I would recommend Sherwood Court to anyone who is looking for compassionate care for their loved one.

My father was at Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home from March 2024 until he sadly passed away August 2024. My father loved the nursing home and was very happy there. We all found the staff amazing. They were all very professional and delivered high standards of care. We visited daily and found the home very warm and welcoming. The coffee shop area and outside area were very lovely. My father loved the activities. The manager was excellent and the home and all staff were amazing. Thank you Sherwood Court.

I spend a lot of time at the nursing home with my mum-in-law, I see a lot, and it is all outstanding. Everyone is treated with such kindness and dignity. The staff are all committed to providing the best care to all the residents. They work extremely hard, and at times, I know it can be challenging. These are staff that clearly love their work; they are so kind, respectful and professional. It is an outstanding nursing home, and we, as a family, are so grateful to have our mum in such safe hands; the smiles on their faces speak for themselves. The staff should all be extremely proud of what they give to such a challenging job - and I’m sorry for the things mum may say to you when she is in a mood; she really does not mean it! And I know you all understand - Dementia can be cruel - thank you all from all the family.

My mum is a service user, and my brother and I live in Ireland so we're unable to visit very often. However we do get regular feedback - and pictures - from our sister; and it is an absolute ease to us that mum is so well cared for - including her (96th!) birthday celebration and cake she was given this last weekend. My sincere thanks to all your staff for the top class and loving care they provide for our mum

We placed my dad into respite care here, on 3rd April 2023. This is an EMI unit, suggested to us by Social Services. The same evening dad was admitted, he managed to escape from the building, within hours of us leaving. We got a call from the unit at approx 10.20pm, informing us they had called the police as they couldn't find him on the unit. He was found at approx 1.30am near Preston Docks, by the Police (4 miles away). The unit manager, at approx 2am, spoke rudely and abruptly on the phone to my mum (non-driver) asking her to collect him immediately as they could not manage him. The unit is supposed to be for challenging behaviours. We contacted the Duty Social worker, who informed us to leave him there and collect him in the morning. The next morning the unit manager mentioned that my dad must have followed a member of staff into the laundry and escaped from there. There are many doors that are coded to enter and exit the unit. This is negligence and compromised my dad's safety.

My friend is a resident of the nursing home. She has been well cared for in the home, by the nursing and care team. The management team and reception team are absolutely amazing, thank you so much for all the love and care.

Due to Covid my mum was in the wrong type of care home, but as soon as was possible she moved to Sherwood Court in October 2020. From this time she has been settled and on the whole very happy. The staff all go above and beyond to ensure that residents are looked after. Recently it was Mum's 80th birthday they organized a singer to come and dress up as Elvis (Mum's favourite singer) and they had a lovely party for her. The staff ensure that we are made aware of all chances that take place and that the residents are entertained with singing and other activities. I am so aware of the importance of good staff as in my mum's previous care home they were unable to keep Mum settled and resorted to calling us any time day or night, this has never happened at Sherwood Court. Mum is settled and if she gets upset they have some wonderful distraction techniques which work.

A well-run home due to excellent management and staff. The staff are caring and attentive, they treat my dad with dignity. We are always made to feel welcome when we visit. I wouldn't have my dad anywhere else.

Our experience as a family has been brilliant. In a time that has been extremely difficult, they have made it that little bit easier. The staff make you feel as if this is your home and part of a family. They keep you very informed and make sure the residents if able to understand. Couldn't recommend enough.

Every time I have gone to visit Sherwood Court Care Home, you walk through the door and it's fabulous. It's clean, has really nice furniture, and always a big flower arrangement smells amazing. The staff and activities are both great.

We can't thank Barchester Sherwood Court Care Home enough for all they did to care for our family member. They went above and beyond. The staff at Sherwood Court relate to the residents as "their family" and call Sherwood Court the resident's "home"; we thought this was lovely! It's very comforting for the family members of the resident. Our family member had the best care we could ever wish for over the last few years. The staff members really do care and look after the residents so well. The staff always make sure the residents are happy. The home is beautiful and very clean. There is a little salon inside the home, which is nice for the residents too. I strongly recommend Sherwood Court. You won't be disappointed if you choose this home for a loved one (or yourself). Nothing is too much trouble for the staff at Sherwood Court; they are very welcoming and caring and so kind. Thank you so much to all your wonderful staff; you do an amazing job! Keep up the good work, Sherwood Court!

Mum was falling in a previous nursing home and had ended up in hospital on a couple of occasions therefore, we visited 2 or 3 homes to find one suitable. We were most impressed with Sherwood and we are very happy that we chose it as she has had excellent care. Unfortunately mum is at end of life care due to a hospital blunder, but everyone at Sherwood has been fabulous.

From the very first contact of enquiries from reception through to the manager, I knew this was home for mum. Very professional and helped me before IU had even chosen Sherwood Court at Fulwood Preston. I didn't want mum to go into a home but after meeting everyone and seeing her room, I was so emotionally overwhelmed with how lovely everything and everybody was and still is. Thank you to all the team for a first-class service.

Thank you to all the team for a first-class service.
