Mayflower Court care home, Southampton

The home really is as lovely as it seems, as are the staff. My mother passed away recently after a happy final year of life at the home. She had not wanted to leave her own home, but circumstances dictated that she had to and after once resident, she quickly fell into a happy and fulfilling routine. The care for and genuine affection of the staff … Read morefor my mother was really evident in her final days. The 'good old NHS' tried hard to let her down, but the staff, ever vigilant, ever caring, made sure that her last few days were as comfortable as they could be. They are a credit to their profession. Should I end up in a home myself one day, please let it be this one!

My wife suffers from Alzheimer’s disease and has been in Mayflower Court for almost a year now. Her dementia is quite extreme which makes her very difficult to take care of, but all the staff and management at Mayflower Court work hard to look after her and to try to help her settle into her new home. While she is still not fully settled and she ha… Read mores good and bad days, I do see signs that she is gradually starting to settle in and accept much needed help from her carers. I am impressed with the quality of the care, her room and the common areas, the gardens, the food and also all the organised activities which she can sometimes be persuaded to join.

For my family and I, having to have my mother put into care was unknown. After visiting other homes as soon as we walked into Mayflower Court we were overwhelmed, from the reception, management and carers we knew this was the place for her. The beautiful rooms, the cleanliness and more important the way Mum is treated, as if she was the only one th… Read moreere by all the carers nothing seems to be too much trouble. Activities she has joined in with she would not have done before and she's kept lovely, tidy and all her clothes are clean, everyone in the home does a wonderful job. She has made friends with other residents and is very happy, on a personal note the home has helped me to deal with the situation and I'm very grateful to them all.

I have no complaints about anything, so very pleased my husband is in Mayflower Court Care Home. Staff, at all levels, are so kind and helpful. My husband appears to have settled in very well.

I came here at the beginning of May 2023. I am so happy except I get homesick (which I deal with in my own way) I can't get used to other residents coming into my room day and night, apart from this I feel very happy here. There is always activities being held (optional). Visiting is not restricted with visitors always being made welcome. The staff… Read more are second to none.

We are very grateful indeed for all the love and care Mayflower Court have given our parents, especially during our father's final illness, our mother's bereavement and her increasing frailty. The new management team has transformed Mayflower Court and has shown professionalism, cheerfulness and dedication in turning the home around and coping with… Read more the pandemic.

I found the care home very much like a hotel, nothing was too much trouble, from the staff down to management.
