My Dad recently passed away, whilst in the care of the staff at Melbury court. I can honestly say that the care and support my Dad received was way above and beyond what was expected. He was treat with respect and decency, kindness and more during the five years he was a resident. The job that those who work in this area, is very, very difficult. Thank you all for looking after my Dad.

Place is always nice and clean, although there are never enough staff around. The staff there is are friendly but they could do with a few ore. Our friend thinks the food average quality.

My mother moved here from hospital with palliative care needs. We chose Melbury because it was able to fulfil her nursing care needs. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff are attentive and as prompt as they can be when the button is pressed for attention. Having a call button was important to us for peace of mind.

Mam is treated with lots of care and respect. She is always clean and her hygiene needs attended to when required. The staff understand Mam's communication (non-verbal) and respond appropriately. I feel comfortable in the knowledge that Mam is receiving the best care possible.

I was worried about coming into a care home but since I have come here I have been able to feel at ease and totally welcome, treated with respect and dignity, staff can't do enough for you. I'm grateful for all the help I have been given.

Absolutely fabulous nursing home! Staff are brilliant, very supportive and helpful. Dad is so happy with his room, the medical support he receives, the variety of meals and the care he requires being given daily. The staff have organised haircuts, chiropody and most importantly to dad, holy communion! Always lots going on, activities, birthday celebrations etc. Highly recommend!

My cousin has been in Melbury Court a short time, we have found the staff very friendly and helpful. The only issue we have had is his personal items have gone missing and had to replace them. As far as meals are concerned I can't comment as my cousin does not say much.

Management are always very helpful and willing to sort any problems as and when they occur. Staff are mostly able to provide for my brother's needs and seem to go the extra mile to help.

Both my father and mother are residents at Melbury Court. My overall experience is that they are both well cared for and looked after at the home. I always feel confident that they are safe and that any medical issues will be promptly dealt with. Any issues are promptly communicated to me by phone. Whilst I have said their activities are good that may be unfair is they could be excellent, as I can only judge on my visits, which is not every day.

My mother has been in the care home for 2.5 years. I have always found the staff very friendly and attentive. The food is very good and the cleanliness of the environment is a testament to the standards that are set at Melbury Court. I have experienced other care homes and this is the best one by miles.
