Nowton Court Village

Testimonials

S.R. July 2016

We booked my 84 year old mother into Nowton Court Village mid-February for convalescence following a broken pelvis just before Christmas. Due to the kindness and attention given to her during her stay she went home two weeks later a new woman walking without a frame and with a regained confidence. In fact her stay was so successful we are just completing on the purchase of one of the luxury retirement apartments, The Grange, located in the beautiful grounds. She cannot wait to start this new chapter of her life having independent living but with the benefit of the Manor House facilities being just a step away from Rosemary and her fantastic caring team for which nothing is too much trouble. I would not hesitate in recommending.

M H-M July 2016

My mother has been living in the Nowton Court retirement village for the past 4 years. She has an apartment in the independent living section known as The Grange, but is able to use all the facilities of the manor house. This includes a dining room where she can order a good lunch, a Wellbeing centre, and access to all the activities that are organised each week such as Tai Chi, art therapy, games afternoons and so on.

The manor house is decorated beautifully, with lovely lounges for relaxation and a well stocked library. The grounds are well maintained, and being right on the edge of Nowton Park it’s easy to get out into the country.

I feel very happy that my mother has found such a lovely place to live, with caring people who are available 24 hours a day. I have found the management to be very understanding and responsive to her needs.

My mother stayed here in July following an operation and found it an ideal retreat in beautiful grounds with caring, friendly staff. She had also stayed here last year and felt it was the perfect place to rest and recuperate.

L.R. October 2016

I stayed for a period of 5 weeks for convalescence following a major operation. The room I had was a very good size with an adjustable bed, reclining chair, T.V. tea making facilities, and a modern en-suite with a wet room all of which was extremely comfortable.  The staff were very attentive, courteous and friendly and nothing was too much trouble.  I had a very pleasant stay in wonderful, peaceful surroundings which certainly made me have a speedy recovery.

C.S. February 2017 

My husband came to Nowton Court Village after spending 5 weeks in hospital.  I did not feel he was moving forward so i booked him into Nowton Court Village.  I also stayed and because i had no worries about shopping, cooking, etc; i could help him improve.  This is an ideal place to recuperate and have extra service i.e. washing done, rooms cleaned and choice of food.  The views are beautiful as the building stands within Nowton Park and there is widlife to watch from every window.  I would recommend Nowton Court Village for anyone requiring a peaceful place to recover and regain strength.

Many thanks to you all for your excellent care.  You “went that extra mile” beyond your duties and made my stay at Nowton more than a convalescence.

Your patience, energy and good humour brightened up my day and those cakes were another “extra”.  It is lovely to have met such a hard working and caring team.

Thanks to everyone who cared for me so carefully.

VN – April 2017 

A big thank you to you and all of the staff at Nowton for making the past few weeks so comfortable for my mum.  Whilst it wasn’t her home, it was safe, relaxing and homely.  She could see the lovely gardens and hear birds singing.

It was a huge comfort to me knowing that people were there and looking in on her, bringing her drinks, meals and the favourite Lemon Drizzle cake.

I would formally like to thank you Rosemary (Manager) and all the staff for everything you have done.  Without your support Dad would not be as fit and well as he is, and indeed the whole family have benefitted from your support over these recent months.  All of us really appreciate all that you have done.

________________________________________________________________________________

J.F. January 2018

I would like to thank you all most sincerely for your care and expertise during my stay at Nowton Court for the last two weeks.

When i arrived i was in considerable pain, caused by a fall damaging my ribs.  Movement was difficult and breathing was rather spasmodic.

From the beginning i was given a warm welcome by all the staff.

The concierges were all excellent.  Special thanks to Matt who attended to small problems concerning lighting, heating and television reception.  He was even able to fix my computer and ensured that my newspapers were delivered!.

The catering staff were all very good, producing healthy meals, beautifully presented.

The cleaning staff also helped in making my stay enjoyable.

I left yesterday, after two weeks, feeling refreshed and reasonably pain free.  I was assured that if i needed to return, i would be welcome.

Thank you all.

S.C. March 2018

My mother was an elderly resident at Nowton Court during the last 5 years of her life.  This provided her with the privacy she had been used to in her own home; yet always someone on hand to talk to her at anytime during night or day.  She enjoyed her chauffeur driven trips into town; overseen by a caring Concierge.  The staff were very responsive, supportive, kind and helpful.

My mother was a watercolour artist in Scotland, and she was able to continue with her enjoyment of this, using the wonderful Library area.  She loved the peace and quiet of a comfortable corner, all to herself, in one of the many splendid Sitting Rooms.  The surrounding park & gardens gave her much pleasure, as did keeping the bird table well supplied.

The home cooking was of a high stand and Chef catered for her individual needs.  After her funeral, we held her celebration of life at Nowton Court, with excellent organisation from the management.  It was so successful, that we hope to hold a private event there.

K.W. – April 2018

I was so pleased with her stay… Mum and i were both very vulnerable in the circumstance of both her illness and her lifesaving surgery.  So to be met with such kindness and attention to detail while we were at a such a difficult time was amazing.  Words cannot express just how grateful i was to have had your support and personal attention.  A friendly face and a smile was what we needed most and that was given by all of you.

My mum is now doing amazing…. nearly 9 stone! and she was 6 stone 10 after her operation.  Thank you again.

Mrs S – April 2018

I came to Nowton Court Village from hospital having had a triple by-pass.  I stayed for two weeks as i needed complete rest and care.  I am over 80 and live alone. The care here is excellent and i cannot fault anything.  They even called the paramedics when my leg started bleeding and i had excellent attention.  Its is an extremely good place to receive help when needed.

S.B. – April 2018

Came to Nowton Court following a serious illness in hospital.  Found all staff very kind, helpful and will to put themselves out for my mother.

Unfortunately, we have to move my mother to a Nursing Home rather than ‘Assisted Living’ but i have no qualms about recommending this lovely place to anyone who needs canvalescing.  Thanks a million to you all.

V.S. – July 2018 

My mother was in desperate need of respite.  She is in her 80’s now and has been a full-time carer for 18 years.  She was nervous about being a strange place but the staff were fantastic.  The house is fabulous and my mum’s room comfortable and cosy.  My mother particularly recommended the food, in fact, she returned to Nowton Court Village for a second visit!.

The house is incredibly peaceful and i would highly recommend for rest and recuperation.  Thank you to all the staff for taking care of my mother.

I thought the gardens were beautiful and very relaxing.  It made me feel very comfortable.  The food was also wonderful, overall a lovely dining experience.  The staff were always very warm and always ready to help no matter the problem – a real credit to the company.

Absolutely, i would stay there again.

________________________________________________________________________________

M.S. – July 2018 

The standard of care is excellent.  Had a large room with lovely outlook.  Food and the variety of dishes were excellent.  Cleaning staff and ladies who served the meals and concierge, were all very good.

_______________________________________________________________________________

G.G. – Aug 2018

My mother came to Nowton when her ability to live independently became difficult.  Nowton Court was a perfect step from home to assisted living.  Everyone at Nowton Court welcomed her warmly and looked after her needs with dignity, compassion as well as good humour. Nowton Court operates very efficiently and professionally, but no-one ever forgets it is the resident’s home from home.

_______________________________________________________________________________

J.T. – Aug 2018

A beautifully appointed country house with well decorated public rooms and excellent service by charming people.  Most residents seem to keep to their very comfortable rooms. A excellent full Library.

________________________________________________________________________________

V.K. – September 2018

The welcome, food, cleaning, laundry, service regarding wi-fi, etc, the Concierge’s, the Night Attendant’s – Everyone in other words – have been kind, attentive, ready to fix or adjust whatever needed doing to my needs.  Excellent decision after knee surgery to recover here!!

________________________________________________________________________________

C.J. – October 2018

I stayed here for postoperative care after a hip replacement.  It was perfect. I could choose the level of care i needed but i knew someone was on call if necessary.  Being independent, i liked to recover in my own time and Nowton Court allowed me to do this whilst always being there as a ‘safety net’.  Lovely building excellent facilities, beautiful grounds and i felt safe and nurtured and it certainly aided my recover.  I would highly recommend as a place to heal.  Lovely people.

________________________________________________________________________________

J.M. – October 2018 

On arrival to Nowton Court after a hip replacement.  I was welcomed by 2 members of staff and taken to my room.  My room was much more than adequate, it had a huge garden facing window (south) with sun most of the day and was much larger than i anticipated.  The room was so well equipped for my needs – rise/fall bed and chair, a shower seat and toilet riser.  My overall impression was 5 star.  The staff could not do enough for me.  I am eternally grateful.

________________________________________________________________________________

D.H. – April 2019 

I enjoyed a two-week recuperation period at Nowton Court following a hip replacement operation and cannot speak highly enough of the care which i received during my stay.  I had a spacious and comfortable south-facing room with a choice between eating in the Dining Room and in my room.

All the staff were most helpful and considerate of my needs.  Meals were good, varied and with generous portions and i felt that everything possible was done to ensure my recovery.

I would certainly highly recommend Nowton Court

________________________________________________________________________________

M.G. – August 2019 

Thank you for looking after my mother, during her recent stay at Nowton Court.  As on previous stays with you she found all the staff very friendly, welcoming and helpful.  Her room was comfortable, clean and well suited her needs and included specific items that she required namely the adjustable bed and chair. She really enjoyed joining in with the activities and the company of the other residents.

I am pleased that you were able to accommodate her as it enables my wife and i to take a break and know that she is safe and well looked after.

________________________________________________________________________________

E.F. – September 2019

Very comfortable accommodation with very nice furniture and fittings.  Food nicely varied on a daily basis but sometimes portions are too large.

All staff are extremely kind and very helpful. It makes you very willing to return if you have sometime in the future.

I wish them all the best and look forward to seeing them all again.

S.N. – November 2019

I really enjoyed my brief stay at Nowton Court, following major foot surgery at BMI.  My big room was a pleasure to be in, particularly the view of the beautiful garden.  After the hospital bed, your was a great joy.  It was utterly peaceful, only interrupted by the arrival of nice meals.  No one bothered me but i know help was there if i needed it. I am sure my stay has really helped my good recovery.

My mother was treated with dignity, care and compassion and i was extremely pleased with how quickly small concerns i had, were dealt with.  This was a great relief to me as i live 3 hours away from Nowton Court. 

The staff at all levels were so caring.  We would not hesitate to place mum at Nowton Court again for respite care.

I am missing you all and send good wishes to you.

________________________________________________________________________________

O.L. – May 2020

Very pleasant. All my needs were catered for i.e. toilet raiser, commode, an electric chair to raise me up. Staff were friendly and very helpful. I do not have a good appetite so asked for a lighter lunch and a salad supper which was duly produced. On Sunday the 10th, an afternoon tea was arranged to celebrate VE day.  As I was in isolation i was unable to attend.  I was brought up some cakes and prosecco which cheered me up.

C.U. – October 2020

Nowton Court is an impressive and welcoming facility, in beautiful grounds.  It can feel like a hotel, with many beautiful public rooms, especially the bright and airy dining room. 

Staff are all very good, from the catering to housekeeping, to the concierge’s all offer great care and support.  The manager obviously cares genuinely about the residents and was always responsive when contacted.

________________________________________________________________________________

D.H. – October 2020

I am nearly at the end of my third stay at Nowton Court, since early 2019.  Following a fall, in which i sustained pulled muscles, etc. in a thigh which i fractured last year, as well as a fractured wrist, i needed a period of recuperation.

Once again, i enjoyed a most beneficial stay, with the opportunity to have a complete rest being of great benefit to my legs recovery.  Despite the extra restrictions imposed by the Covid pandemic (Staff face masks; no visitors, etc.) the staff were most caring and solicitous, the accommodation very comfortable ; the meals varied and plentiful; and the overall standards have been maintained at a very high level. 

I can wholeheartedly recommend Nowton Court to anyone who asks me.

________________________________________________________________________________

A.C. – February 2021

My mother has been a resident at Nowton Court for the last 5 months.  I am more than pleased that she is there.  Before she moved in the manager asked about her likes, dislikes and her past, so they knew something about her when she arrived.  The rooms, both the public rooms and the bedrooms are beautifully decorated in the style of an elegant country house.  

The care package offered to residents needing additional care is very satisfactory and the carers are kind.  

My mother enjoys the company she has there, that of the residents and the staff.  The meals are clearly good from reports i receive. 

Despite the limitations imposed by the Covid pandemic, i feel sure every effort is made too offer stimulating activities including accompanied walks around the extensive grounds.

Visiting arrangements made in Covid times are good and worthwhile.  In short, my mother has a good quality of life at Nowton Court.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

F.L. – June 2021

Excellent service very friendly staff and efficient. Nice to meet the full-time residents. Just feels like home. The Chef came to my mother and me as i can only eat certain foods. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

AL – August 2021 

Nowton Court Village is a friendly, caring home with beautiful surroundings. The caregivers make their residents feel special and welcome.

C.W. – March 2022

Everything was excellent, could not have asked for more.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

S.B. – June 2022 

Only positive things to say about our experience – all the staff, and particularly the Manager, were warm, professional, understanding, tactful and kind.  My mother was treated with respect and good humour.  It was reassuring to be in the hands of those who have seen it all and who care about each resident as an individual. 

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

A.C. – December 2022 

My stay at Nowton Court Village for respite care has been a wonderful experience.  The kindness and care from all members of staff have been exemplary. The Manager, most especially, even went beyond the call of duty by collecting me from the hospital on her weekend leave.  The food is on par with any first-class restaurant and the accommodation is superb.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

M.R. – December 2022

I can to Nowton Court for respite, following surgery. The kindness, care and consideration has been exemplary from all staff at every level.  Nothing is too much trouble or treated as insignificant.  The food is of good quality, varied and so tasty.  I have looked forward to every mealtime and never been disappointed.  The country house feeling of the lovely building is retained and is relaxing and conductive to recover, with activities to take advantage of or not.  A wonderful place to be.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

F.E. – January 2023

Thank you very much for your great care during my recent respite stay.  It really helped me to feel stronger and get back on my feet again.
