Reviews for Badgeworth Court Care Home

"Sometimes Mum doesn't have the personal care she should as she is unable to get herself to the toilet, being unable to get out of her chair. Also, her legs are not treated as well as they could be - not creamed and dressed."

"The family were very reluctant for Mum to go into a care facility but we couldn't be happier with Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home. Mum settled very quickly and Badgeworth is now 'home'! Mum is treated with courtesy and respect. The staff are a credit to you - lovely girls (and boys, of course!)"

"Dad was welcomed in a frail state. The nursing care and kindness he received were second to none. The food was of a very high standard. His end-of-life care was compassionate - we can't thank the home enough for caring for him so beautifully."

"All the staff are extremely friendly and Mum interacts with them in a positive and friendly way. Mum was very reluctant to go into residential care but has flourished since she arrived. She is well looked after, fed very well, has nursing care on hand if needed and her day-to-day needs are met. The home is very welcoming to my family members, we can come and go any time and often join in with the group activities provided for the residents. The staff are amazing and I would have no issues recommending this home to others."

"Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home is a lovely place where I feel my grandmother gets looked after extremely well, treated with respect and the carers are always upbeat and are amazing with all of the residents. I feel happy that she is there and gets looked after with extreme care. Haven't got a bad word to say about the care my grandmother gets."

"As soon as I was shown around Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home I knew this was the place for my Mother to be cared for and so glad I followed up on recommendation from friends. Beautifully located, it offers wonderful grounds to enjoy with mum. The care my mother received was outstanding and the management team made everything happy and easy and smooth. The care team who looked after mum were wonderful, bringing joy laughter and offering care emotionally as well as physically. They also took care of us as a family, answering our questions, having a good knowledge of dementia and helping us to navigate through a difficult time. We joined in with events, always a cup of tea and cake, nothing was to much to make our time with mum enjoyable. We found a great community spirit with other residents and their families along with the staff. I shall miss seeing the carers, but will always hold them all in my heart. I thank and send appreciation to all at Badgeworth court. It truly is a outstanding care home."

"Mum has dementia and after looking after her at home for as long as possible, as her dementia and behaviour deteriorated, my sister and I knew we could no longer safely support her at home. She was very reluctant to go into care but the staff at Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home were extremely patient, supportive and understanding of all our needs. Mum has absolutely flourished since arriving in late July 2024. She loves the staff, hugs them and generally interacts very well with them. Her room is comfortable with her own bathroom, she is fed very well, there are activities for her to take part in and nursing staff on hand if needed. The grounds are very pretty and there is an outside seating area for the summer. Overall, I am very happy with the care she is receiving and would have no hesitation in recommending Badgeworth Court to others."

"My mother has been a resident of Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home for two months. She has dementia and was adamant she was not going into a home. However, it became increasingly difficult to care for her at home and no matter how long I spent with her she was lonely and depressed. Since being at Badgeworth Court, she has come to regard this as her home and is quite happy to leave me at the door and return to her "friends". The staff are lovely and very good with her, nothing is too much trouble. The whole family are happy in the knowledge she is quite content with where she is living and is calm and there is always someone around her."

"Mum has been a resident of Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home, near Cheltenham for just over a year. We are very happy to know that she has been well looked after by very caring staff, it's a weight off our shoulders to know that Mum has 24-hour care. Mum has settled in well and enjoyed the food and some of the activities."

"When Mum became suddenly confused and was unable to return home from hospital, we contacted Barchester Badgeworth Court Care Home on the recommendation of friends' experiences. They responded quickly and were able to provide a place immediately. When Mum arrived, the staff made great efforts to really get to know her and within a week, all the staff appeared to know her and stopped to chat whenever they crossed paths. Time for conversation is clearly a priority at Badgeworth Court. Mum enjoyed the varied activities, many of which are held outdoors. Sadly, Mum's condition deteriorated but the staff adapted their care seamlessly. They have provided exceptional care, demonstrating respect and compassion and helped Mum to retain her dignity. They have also been highly supportive to us, as a family. We would have no hesitation in recommending Badgeworth Court Care Home."

"My mum moved here after a fall and a spell in hospital last summer. I am very happy with the care she receives. The carers are lovely to Mum and the nurses and manager responsive to enquiries and any concerns. Covid has limited Mum’s options as has everyone else’s but the visits and Skype calls are welcomed. The staff make every effort to accommodate these. Mum has a lovely room looking out on a patio area and enjoys watching the birds and squirrels who come to visit her bird table. Hopefully, she can engage with other residents and activities more when Covid restrictions are lifted. In the current circumstances, we as a family are satisfied that she is safe and well cared for."

"I/we can't fault the care my mother has received. The staff is so patient with her and her needs. The food choice and quality is excellent. On her birthday it was lovely to have lunch with her (three courses) in a special dining room decorated for her birthday with family members able to attend. The gardens around the care home are beautiful. The nursing, administration, and management team are very caring and always available. All in all, I would recommend Badgeworth Court."

The staff are particularly caring and go to great lengths to provide individualised care and entertainment. Nothing seems to be too much trouble and the home has a friendly atmosphere. The management team is very accommodating and approachable. Good communication and their handling of the COVID-019 pandemic is commendable."

"The staff at Badgeworth Court are dedicated to caring for the residents. The level of care and support my father has received, particularly during the very challenging times of the pandemic, has been first class. Communication from the home's management has been regular and clear and the use of video calls has been invaluable to keeping in touch whilst unable to visit in person."

"Both my grandparents are now residing together at Badgeworth Court and as a family we cannot thank the home enough for their care and kindness. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. My grandparents recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary during the lockdown and despite us being unable to share this precious moment with them the team at Badgeworth made sure the anniversary didn’t go by without a celebration and shared the amazing pictures with the family. It’s those little things that create lasting memories and what make Badgeworth such a special place."

"I am a private carer for a 93-year-old lady who fancied a change of scenery, and a change from day to day home life. Badgeworth was at the top of our list for a short four-week stay for some rest bite. The care my client received during her stay was fantastic. The staff and carers here were very friendly, they went above and beyond to make sure her stay was enjoyable. Great daily activities, beautiful grounds, and a fabulous variety food menu. I will definitely recommend this outstanding place to other people."

"Since a change of management a little while ago, it has become a very impressive place in every way, run with efficiency, kindness and humanity. That has made such a difference to my peace of mind in being separated from my mother during the Covid-19 pandemic. I am grateful too for the time and effort the activities manager put into making it possible for me to have my first video call with my mother when I am a novice. Nothing was too much trouble - a hallmark of the home in general."

"Badgeworth Court is a lovely care home in beautiful gardens. The nursing and care team are like a family. They all treat my mum with respect and dignity. My mum settled really well into Badgeworth Court. The manager is extremely efficient and always makes time to talk to us. The facilities are great and my mum loved the visit by the therapy dog and baby owl."

"Staff and management are excellent. You can drop in any time day or night unannounced and the staff always treat residents in a friendly and professional manner, even when they may be in the next room and are unaware you are around, which is reassuring, and they have enough staff to ensure a good and safe level of care is offered at all times with a friendly atmosphere amongst the staff and no obvious tensions. Staff and management go out of their way to accommodate residents preferences even when they lack capacity and the chef will make a special effort to adjust the menu to suit. My mother has been at Badgeworth now for some 6 and a half years with severe dementia and whilst she expressed a wish not to go into a care home before she lacked capacity and things at home became too difficult, even with professional care, she actually settled in at Badgeworth very well and was much happier than she had been in her own home."

"What a lovely homely place with lovely smiley staff. I have already picked my room for the future. I went to the Christmas Fayre which was very good I had a look around and met some of the residents and was touched by the way the staff interacted with the residents. Would definitely recommend this place."

"My daughter and I had already visited Badgeworth Court and decided this home was the best place for my husband's first respite care in the Cheltenham area. He has dementia and went from hospital to Badgeworth for respite. In the home, there was an air of calm and everyone working there was very happy, friendly and caring. The residents were relaxed, happy and well looked after. I also saw them engaged in different activities on my visits. I was impressed by the monitoring day and night. I have seen the manager walking around the home after 9 pm on several occasions. She and her deputy contacted us regularly for feedback. The unit manager and senior carers are very professional and passionate about their job. Each member of staff knew where everyone was and if someone was in their room at meal times they made sure they returned to the lounge/diner for food and drinks. The interaction between staff and residents was amazing. My daughter and I would definitely want my husband to return here."

"The care and kindness at Badgeworth Court is second to none. From the management to the nursing to the carers, you would be hard-pressed to find better. Nothing is too much trouble for them. There is no problem for me to stay when my wife is ill, always offered a tea or coffee. Very professional, exceptionally clean and tidy. Beautifully kept gardens. Absolutely wonderful - 10 stars."

"Since Mum has been in Badgeworth she no longer gets urine infections/skin tears. She has started eating better, put on weight, is more stimulated with activities. She loves the staff who are so friendly and caring and helpful. Never rude or moaning, always listen to any problems or issues and sort it out immediately. The meals are wonderful, Mum has a fantastic choice. She has her hair done every Thursday. Staff are aware of Mum needing to rest on her bed as he ankles swell. They know to cut up her food. They know Mum likes to have a banter with them. All staff, kitchen, housekeeping, care staff all really care. The home is clean and tidy with fantastic views and a lovely garden outside. They have a minibus to take out service users on trips out. Mum no longer has falls. She has settled so well at Badgeworth which enables me to sleep at night knowing she is safe. We are informed if Mum is being seen by a social worker or mental health nurse. We are now also emailed by Badgeworth for activities that we can attend."

"Badgeworth Court Care Home is set in delightful grounds and is an oasis of care and rest for the residents. It is expertly run by a very pro-active manager who has improved the structure of the home significantly since her appointment. Her attention to detail, expertise in nursing care and readiness to speak to resident's relatives in commendable. All her staff are now putting into practice a lot of her ideas and they too are to be praised for their increased efforts to provide first-class care. They all work tremendously hard and are all very friendly and helpful. Full marks to the general manager and her staff for providing a safe and happy environment for their residents."

"Needed to find a placement for my 87-year-old Brother. In our review of local possibilities, we included Badgeworth Court, which had been recommended by some friends and was near his home. We are pleased to say that we selected Badgeworth Court, which is in a lovely setting between Cheltenham and Gloucester. The staff and management are all open, friendly and always very helpful. The home is well kept, clean and tidy. Care and training are at a high standard. I am always kept in touch with any issues that may arise. With the help of the staff, my brother has both settled in well and has made some good progress since being at Badgeworth Court. I would highly recommend you include this care home on a list of possibilities."

"My wife has been a resident of Badgeworth since 4th May 2014 and in that time there has been four appointed managers and two or three temporary placements. It is only now that we have a manager to match the original incumbent. I have total confidence that my wife's specific health issues related to vascular dementia are being met by the nursing staff. In the past, from 2016 to the appointment of the current manager it was extremely difficult to get continuous, quality nursing care, particularly due to the lack of health care records being updated and the amount of agency nursing staff not having clarity of my wife's medicine needs and application. Now, I note the impact on my wife, POSITIVE. There is still a person there."

"I visit my grandparents regularly here, they are both residents. Sadly Grandma passed away this week. She was ill for a few weeks before this. During this whole period, all staff and management have been wonderful. They supported ALL of my family and were extremely respectful of the trauma that we were going through. This standard continues now my Grandma has passed, the concern and attention given to my Grandad and my Mum is extremely appreciated."

"I cannot commend Badgeworth Court highly enough. My parents are both residents here. Sadly my mum passed away earlier this week. The staff were so supportive, compassionate and very committed both to caring for mum in her last few days but ensuring my dad was supported too. As their daughter, I was regularly kept informed of mum’s condition and involved closely with any changes in her care plan. All staff, from kitchen, housekeeping, care staff and management were so caring and made such a big difference to this whole wearing, harrowing period. I could not have asked for more and if I had, I know they would have done anything to accommodate the family’s wishes."

"My mother has been in this care home for almost six months. After a very bad fall and a five-week stay in hospital, the family were left with no choice but to find a suitable care home. She was very poorly and could not communicate very well. The care here has been excellent and she is a different person. The carers are so friendly and dedicated and will go out of their way to make sure the residents are happy and cared for. We have never regretted our decision in choosing this care home."

"Dad came into Badgeworth after a pretty traumatic time in hospital. We told him he was being moved to a hotel - and he really believes it! Mum is still in their bungalow but visits daily and has become much of a fixture at Badgeworth too. So much so that we held Mum and Dad’s 70th Wedding anniversary celebration in the lounge. The staff were amazing and my parents had the best time! We can’t fault the environment or the staff and would highly recommend Badgeworth Court to anyone."

"The staff, from assessing my mother to homing her, to facilitating moving her to a nearer care home to us was seamless and done in an extremely caring way both to her and her family. They are dementia friendly as well as attentive to nursing needs. My mother had never been in care before and they made her at ease to the point she was incredibly sad to leave and thanked all the staff as she left."
