"It was a difficult decision to find the right setting for my mum but we found it. On walking into Florence Court we were met with a very warm welcome from reception, cool music and a bright, clean and inviting environment. Debbie gave us a tour and one of the stand-out aspects was the relationships. Everyone, staff and residents included, met us with bright smiles and wanted to chat. A real home-from-home feel. My mum's room is bright, clean and cheery and she has been able to bring all her favourite things with her, which really helped with the transition. She is loved, safe and has embraced all that is on offer enabling her to become more independent, physically active and mentally stimulated. I cannot express how pleased I am with Florence Court I know that my mum is loved, stimulated both physically and mentally and has lots of opportunities to fill her life. The staff are so friendly, food is good quality and we are always made to feel welcome. Thank you."

"The staff and especially the management team have made the move to Barchester Florence Court Care Home as stress-free as possible. All staff have gone above and beyond what I ever expected. They have made my father and myself very welcome thus enabling my father to settle in quickly. The staff have been so accommodating allowing my father to have all his home comforts and following all his normal routines. Thank you."

"I would like to thank everyone at Florence Court at all levels and competencies, irrespective of your roles and duties of care, your personal caring, sensitive and understanding values shine above everything, it is with that equality within you all that I commend you. You are there for your residents and loved ones too, as you build a trusting relationship, learning, listening and most of all your loving touch."

"My partner came to stay for three weeks of respite care. Overall experience was excellent. The manager and team were only too willing to proved necessary care. Although a raised toilet seat with arms was brought from another are home, it is surprising that not one bathroom or toilet confirms to the industry standard for a disabled toilet! No handles installed unless you count the toilet roll holder!"

"A nice two-week respite break. Bathroom small - difficult to shut the door once transferred from wheelchair to toilet - just a niggle. Would have liked a trip out to the nearby beach but wasn't asked."

"The home was beautiful, and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. Always had my granny’s best interest and communicated well how she had been. The food is lovely, and they have a wide menu and accommodate residents' wants and needs. Haven’t got a bad word to say."

"It has taken time to get over the treatment of my Dad at Florence Court. He left us just after Christmas 2021. We have only just come to terms with how the manager of this home treated my incredible Dad, our family, and how, as he was dying, we were asked to move him without assistance, care, or dignity from Florence Court. We were made to feel he was not the man we knew. It made a difficult time feel impossible. There are better, more compassionate, warm, and kind alternatives and we placed our Dad in the hands of another care home provider. They made our last few weeks with him feel like we had done all we could. I can’t rate anything highly because what use is it to spend my Mums savings on a home that so badly let us down. I would welcome a fair and honest conversation with management only to prevent any family feeling as we did. Please look past the facilities. The management and experience are truly rotten."

"We visited the home before we decided to put my dad in there and found it very welcoming and very professional. All the staff were very friendly as we walked around. The care home was spotless where ever you went. My dad was very well looked after, and the staff treated him very well throughout his respite stay and will be using them again with no hesitation in the future."

"Dad has been at Florence Court for 3-months and has settled in very well. His happiness and well being is entirely down to the incredible staff, who work tirelessly at keeping him safe, well-nourished, and stimulated. He is always treated with dignity and respect. The home is beautiful, the gardens peaceful, but most important of all is that my dad is happy and content… how do I know? Because he is always singing! We recently held a small surprise birthday party for Dad, a mix of family and friends in the sky lounge. Dad was over the moon with all the effort put in. From the balloons and bunting to the fabulous buffet and cake created by the chef. Creating precious memories for us all. Activities are increasing, as are trips out in the minibus… all enhancing Dad's experience in this wonderful new care home. Thanks to each and every member of staff for all the effort you put in."

"As a first experience of respite care for my parents, this experience couldn't have been better. All the staff were wonderful. They got to know my parents immediately and treated them with dignity, sensitivity and understanding. Mum and Dad loved the food, and the room was just right for them; the access out to the garden meant they could walk about every day, something they have been missing. They have come home stronger, healthier and looking forward to their next stay!"

"Florence Court was a wonderful experience, with beautiful decor and an en-suite shower in a large beautifully presented bedroom with french doors to the garden. The food is restaurant standard served in a lovely dining room. The carers and staff are wonderful, you are treated as family. A wonderful environment for anyone who needs specialised care - can't praise the home enough and the staff."

"I had a very pleasant stay for 2 weeks in July. It was comfortable, relaxing with a good standard of care. The staff were very helpful, polite and friendly and do anything asked of them. Homemade soups were excellent as were the cakes! It was nice for visitors to be welcomed."

"Florence Court Care Home is a peaceful, beautiful place to be. Once inside the building, there is no traffic noise, and the atmosphere is calm and welcoming. All the staff I have met are helpful and very competent and empathetic. The food and facilities are second to none. But it is the level of passion and professionalism of the staff that is the most impressive. Highly recommend Florence Court Care Home."

"Efficient and speedy pre-assessment and viewing process. Empathetic and caring staff who welcomed Dad and the family into the care home during his 2-week stay. Nothing was too much trouble and the staff made it easy to communicate with Dad on a daily basis. A very high standard of accommodation, cleanliness and care. A full range of activities and plenty of encouragement to 'have a go'. We will certainly recommend Florence Court and will keep in touch through their community cafe."

"It's been an emotive decision for our mum to go into a home but our experience at Florence Court has been second to none. The genuine care from every member of staff radiates as soon as you walk through the door, from the carers, reception, housekeeping and management team through to the maintenance man. They are like extended family and we are comforted that Mum is at Florence Court."

"I have spent the last 10 years living with my daughter, son in law and grandsons but my health and care needs have changed so I moved into Florence Court in October. From day one I felt settled and safe. All my care needs are met by the most amazing carers. I am treated with respect and dignity. The food is delicious and the entertainment team is first class. I can't praise the home enough."

"The care and support my mother received at Barchester Florence Court Care Home was exemplary. The staff were responsive and attentive to her needs. Nothing was too much trouble. They were also very engaging and appeared happy in their work. The home itself is tastefully decorated and homely. The food was very good, it is well presented to tempt one's appetite. All in all, my mother's experience was such that she would like to live here permanently!"

"My father stayed in Barchester Florence Court Care Home for a few weeks while I was on holiday and he thoroughly enjoyed his stay! I was very impressed with the level of care provided; the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. The home is beautiful, with spacious, well-laid-out rooms and communal areas. Dad really enjoyed the D-Day outing to see the Red Arrows and the entertainment at the home during his stay. Dad's health and mental state were significantly improved by his stay there and we would not hesitate to use Florence Court in future."

"My mother spent almost 18 months at Florence Court. As a regular visitor, I know that she was very well looked after by caring, compassionate and lovely people throughout the home. The regular events and daily activities are well organised and the social media photos enable family and friends to see what has been happening. Management are approachable, helpful and ensure things run smoothly. Catering is superb, housekeeping of high standard and everywhere is kept clean and tidy. The rooms have a quality bed and chair and the facilities are well maintained. The multiple lounges and dining rooms are not too big which helps give it a family atmosphere. A special care home."

"My mother has stayed at Florence Court for respite stays over the past 2 years. Florence Court and its staff (all staff from managers to carers and housekeeping) have made her feel very welcome. So much so that she feels it's her home from home. Mum enjoys the varied activities and especially likes to feel useful, however, if she needs some quiet time she is safe and sound in her room with staff popping in from time to time. For me, Florence Court gives me the peace of mind that while I'm away, my mother is safe and happy."

"The facilities at Barchester Florence Court Care Home are beautiful and on viewing with my husband, who has dementia, his opinion was "it's like a five-star hotel". I knew then that this would be perfect for his respite care whilst I was recovering from a pending surgery. All the staff were very pleasant and all knew my husband very quickly. The manager was amazing and knew exactly what it felt like for me, being a retired nurse, placing him into other's care. I was very pleased with the whole experience."

"My 97-year-old mother made the decision to move into a care home close to my wife and me, having lived in her own home in the Midlands for over 50 years; hence it was a big wrench for her, and it was up to my wife and me to find the best home for her; being a local recently retired GP, I was privileged to have visited many care homes. From her initial welcome at Barchester Florence Court six weeks ago, her care has been outstanding, led by the perceptive, very caring manager and her team of carers, entertainment, housekeeping and catering staff who all go out of their way to make all of the residents feel at home. The layout and decor of this modern-looking home are spectacular, from the delightful bistro behind reception to spacious, well-equipped bedrooms and comfortable lounges, along with amazing extras such as the bathing experience, cinema and rooftop bar. The lead-up to Christmas has been made extra special with the residents enjoying a choir lead carol service. We are so grateful."

"It was a very difficult decision moving Mum into a care home but after visiting Barchester Florence Court Care Home we knew that it was the right choice. The management team worked so hard to get Mum placed into the home within a couple of days and welcomed her with open arms from day one. She has settled so quickly, made lots of friends and is making full use of all the wonderful activities. The care team are amazing, Mum is treated with respect and dignity. As a family, it's such a relief to see Mum so happy and settled."

"Very poor care provided, numerous visits to complain about this. Hygiene standards were not good. The resident was terrified of one of the staff who constantly belittled them. It became necessary to find alternative accommodation as a matter of urgency."

"Both my grandparents have been in for some respite, my grandad returning a second time. During their stay they have always told me how lovely it is, thankful for the help received and how nice the staff are during my visits, I have also witnessed this. The admission process was quick due to my grandparent's needs at the time. I am positive they will return if the need arises again."

I enjoyed our trips out and the staff worked hard to make it a lovely excursion. I was lucky to have quite a few visitors and they were all very impressed with what they saw/experienced and the activities on offer. Should I need permanent residential care, I wouldn't hesitate to return here."

"My first time at Florence Court Care Home came up to expectations even though I was not willing to come to a care home. It was only because my son felt he could not leave me alone at home whilst he was on holiday. This had been booked before my husband had died suddenly and unexpectedly and I had been suffering from TIA's and had been recovering from cancer. Therefore I accepted the wisdom of staying in a care home and in the circumstances, it was a good place to stay. I was very disappointed I was ineligible to go on the beach trip only once in both weeks. I also felt rather lonely and bored quite a lot of the time."

"The level of care Mum is receiving has surprised my expectations. The staff and carers are all lovely and have gone above and beyond to help my mum settle in, she is happy and calm, rather than lonely and frightened as she was for the last 6 months. The home is not like a care home, it's more like a hotel. It's lovely to see how the staff are with the residents, even though they have dementia. They are still characters and the staff embraces that. I can sleep at night knowing my mum is receiving the best care possible and the most important thing is she is happy and has made friends."

They made me and other family members very welcome on each and every visit and kept us updated on Dad's well-being. The quality of the home, the staff and the service provided was outstanding."
