  • Appletree Court Care Home, Edgware
Appletree Court is a purpose-built care home offering elderly residential, nursing and dementia care. A professional team has furnished the home to a high standard, providing elegance and comfort.

The 'home from home' feel at Appletree Court is created by the dedicated staff who have been selected not only for their professional ability but also for their commitment to truly making a difference for the people in their care.

Resident’s rooms are spacious and feature en suite facilities. The communal areas are at the centre of what makes Appletree Court a real community whether it be at meal times or when enjoying activities. There are no fixed visiting hours so friends and family can come and see residents at any time.

The dining experience at Appletree Court boasts fine home cooking by a professional Chef who has created a menu to reflect the interests and tastes of the discerning residents.

Activities and day trips are an integral part of the resident’s well being. The activities coordinator encourages and helps residents continue with existing interests and also introduces new hobbies. Frequently residents are taken on day trips near and a little further from the home. The trips are very popular and recently, days out to Southend on Sea, Brent Cross Shopping Centre, RAF Museum Colindale, Crews Hill Garden Centre and Paradise Wildlife Park, Broxbourne have been greatly enjoyed.

Respite care at Appletree Court is very popular and enables those wishing to experience what the Home has to offer before making a full commitment.

Appletree Court provides an exceptionally high level of care. The staff are caring, skilled, and dedicated and the care seems very tailored to the individual's personality and needs. We could not ask for more and have been very impressed from the outset.

Despite extreme circumstances (Covid 19) the home has been as accessible as it could and the staff have all been very friendly and helpful. My mother settled in very quickly. I am looking forward to when times are 'normal' and I know we will be able to come and go as we please. To see our loved ones
and activities have resumed.

On first impressions, Appletree Court Care Home looked spotless and no unpleasant smells.
As soon as we arrived, we were made very welcome and were talked through safety procedures for Covid.
My aunt was genuinely happy and said that the staff were "her angels." She looked very clean and cared for,
with staff checking on her and they made us feel very comfortable.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
I am appalled that after 6 months in this 'home' the nursing staff cannot administer a level 5 diet to the service user and even though I have queried this since being able to visit, this still has not been rectified thus leaving the service user with little food and often hungry. No, I would never
recommend this 'home'.
Reply from Fran Walker, Marketing at Appletree Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review and I am sorry to hear you feel that your relative in the home is still not receiving the adequate dietary level and food. I will pass your comments on to the home and ask that they contact you to discuss your concerns so that we can rectify them.

Despite the complaints, the management does not take action. We have a very good domestic, she is a very good cook, but despite pointing this out to management she still does not work as a chef when the chef is off. There is not enough seasonal food, ie when strawberries are in season.
Reply from Fran Walker, Marketing at Appletree Court Care Home

Thank you for your comments on Appletree. Please be assured that the home does value feedback given to the management team and thank you for the lovely comment about our domestic at the home who is a good cook, I will ensure that feedback is passed on to her from your review.

My mother has been at Appletree Court since lockdown in March 2020. We have found the staff and care of Mum excellent. It was reassuring to know Mum was being so well looked after during a difficult time when we were unable to visit due to Covid restrictions. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.

This pandemic has been a lifetime for residents and families; due to lack of visiting. The staff have risen to the stressful challenge and continued to support my Mum; showing her love and kindness and respect, when at this time of life needs and deserves with an abundance. Activity staff are her friends
who make sure we talk every day via Zoom. They treat her like she was their own Mum. The management keeps us updated and does everything in their power to keep her safe. They are her extended family and show her real compassion. I will be eternally grateful. They deserve credit where credit's due. I would be first to shout if things were wrong but thank God she is looked after by such people with open hearts. I have written to our Queen and Prime Minister to sing their praises. When I win the lottery I will award them all. In the meantime, I ask God to look after them all and keep them safe; with continued strength to show my amazing Mum the empathy she duly deserves. Thank you.

Review from Siobhan F (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 27 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has been a resident at Appletree since March 2019; she required 1-1 care for most of that time.
I cannot praise all the staff enough. From the manager down, they are a total team. I find all the staff extremely polite, welcoming, professional and caring.
The care staff have great
knowledge of individual residents, the care home is always clean with housekeeping staff always on each floor.
I know that I can call/email the manager at any time for an update on my mother-in-law, and he will respond quickly.
Lockdown has had a major impact on all of us. I totally understand the need for the current measures in care homes. I can request a Skype chat with my mother-in-law, likewise, she might indicate she would like to speak to my disabled daughter, and they will always assist her.
Everyone at Appletree has my utmost respect for preventing Covid from entering the home.
Loved ones may not be happy with the current situation, but it is needed to protect residents and staff

Review from Susan C (Sister of Resident) published on 17 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
During the COVID-19 lockdown, I have been unable to visit my brother and have only had telephone contact. Each time I have phoned, I have been greeted with kindness and understanding. Their genuine care and interest in each person staying at the home is so comforting. knowing your loved one is being
cared for as an individual and not just a number.
On Friday, I visited my brother for the first time in 14 weeks. I was obviously anxious as to how my brother would look and feel after such a long time without a visit. Well, what was I worried about? The carers I met all spoke with fondness of my brother and updated me on his care.
My brother was looking great and appeared happy - he understands the situation as staff have kept him updated. He had developed a personal sign language with the staff to help with this communication and it was working well.
I am so pleased we have chosen Apple Tree Court!

My dad arrived at Appletree just a few days before lockdown started. The staff are kind and understanding. My dad is well cared for, which has been a big relief.
They have strict hygiene methods in use and I am confident that they are doing all they can to protect everyone from COVID while doing their
best to keep their residents as healthy and as happy as possible.
I would definitely recommend Appletree.

Review from Lisa (Wife of Resident) published on 8 April 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband, who had advanced Alzheimer's Disease, was a resident at Appletree Court for almost 6 months before he passed away in February. I cannot praise the home, its staff on all levels and the care provided highly enough. He was previously at another care home for 8 months so I have a good basis
for judging at least a few different approaches. Appletree has a very individual-centred approach: everyone from the manager, who visits every resident each morning, through to all the nursing and care staff and indeed the support staff, has an exceptional knowledge of each resident and what works best in each case. The care staff is exceptional. My husband was at all times treated with respect, dignity, compassion and warmth. His end-of-life care was superb with his comfort and dignity being preserved to the last. The staff at all levels was also hugely supportive of me throughout his stay there. They were always honest and transparent, which is not always the case in social care.

My husband was immaculate with his hygiene and personal appearance - a tradition maintained by the caring staff at Appletree. He was treated with kindness and patience when he needed prompting. The management went out of their way to help me when he moved in and to make funeral arrangements when he
died.

Review from Peter N (Husband of Resident) published on 19 April 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I know my wife is very difficult. Apart from a five month's stay in a different care home in 2017, who could not take her this time because my wife was now beyond their capability of care, I had been caring for her for approximately ten years but certainly full time on my own since 07/12/2011.
I see
my wife almost every day and she is practically always in bed. I appreciate she cannot be left alone in her wheelchair but I do think she would benefit from being out of bed more frequently. There could be a considerable improvement with food. The menu is utterly boring and the presentation is awful. A TV chef would be appalled.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.568)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.568) out of 10 for Appletree Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.724 for Appletree Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (119 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.724
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.844 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Appletree Court Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.4 = 0.844
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
