What others have to say

Here are just some of the comments we’ve received from family, friends and residents at Britten Court care home.

Thank you for the wonderful care and respect you gave her. Also, for the way you treated me when visiting. I will always thing of you all with affection.

Family of a resident, January 2025

A huge ‘thank you’ to each and every one of you who cared for Mum, and made her time with you so special. You are all worth your weight in gold.

Family of a resident, January 2025

The home is modern in appearance and always kept clean and tidy, with a lovely flower garden outside. The presentation is very good... the main doors take you through to a cafeteria and hair dressers, which is lovely. The staff are fabulous, nothing is too much trouble for them... they have a laugh with my loved one and get to know him better day by day to understand his preferences. We are always kept informed about how he is doing and they contact us immediately if they have any concerns. My loved one is very happy there.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

They are doing a fantastic job, and the staff take their work very seriously. They always speak so kindly to my loved one, they understand her illness and go out of their way to make life as comfortable as it can be.

Relative of a resident, March 2024

The staff deal with all my concerns immediately and I have no concerns about her safety or wellbeing, which is such an incredible relief after the experiences we had elsewhere. They have got to know my loved one well and treat her as the individual she is, not just as someone they have to look after.
