Testimonial

“Elizabeth court is more than just a block of flats, it’s a community of people, many of them enjoy the freedom with the added advantage of care as and when requested. I have lived here happily for the last 10 years after mainly traveling the world with my RAF husband. I would recommend to anyone who wants to continue to live a life of care and comfort but keep your independence.”

“I have lived in my flat in Elizabeth Court for 8 years. My house has been my safe place to live and relax in. Help is always available when you need it. There is a happy atmosphere enhanced by Fish & Chip supper, bacon sarnie breakfasts and even a cream tea to celebrate events like the VE Anniversary. There are opportunities to play games or just chat over a cuppa. We have a great team who care for us and especially during the pandemic.”

“I have lived at Elizabeth Court for nearly 5 years. Being at Elizabeth Court has enabled me to not only maintain independence but have much valued support from the staff. I particularly enjoy the range of activities and social events at Elizabeth Court. Tenant participation is strongly encouraged by staff and enables good interaction with other neighbours. Activities include Bingo, Craft, Fish + Chip night and a particular treat is the occasional film night put on by the manager. Being at Elizabeth Court has made me feel safe, secure and helped me to try and manage my difficulties.”
