Review from Lorna C (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 July 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has just spent a week in respite care to allow me to go on holiday, and I must say his care was amazing. The facilities were great, and the home is clean and very well looked after. The staff are truly wonderful, each and every one of them; they do an amazing job and are so helpful in every
way. Only one small thing some of the younger staff members struggled to get Dad's hearing in, and without them, he is deaf.
He said the food was great, he enjoyed every meal, and the rooms were bright and clean, but I would suggest taking your own TV in if your loved one is in respite. He loved the activities, said one lady and the team were fantastic and made him feel very welcome and part of everything, so a huge thank you to her for doing such a great job. You even had him singing, which he has not done since my mum passed away. The manager was also very helpful, as I had never put Dad into respite before; he was very helpful with all my questions. I would recommend this home to anyone in the future.

My mother has been in Icknield Court for about 7 months and in the time she has resided there I have seen tremendous improvements in her. This is due to her having people around her. The staff are great and are not afraid to ask my advice with regard to my mother's temperament. In turn, my mum gets
on well with the staff and the other residents. I am so pleased she went to Icknield Court and this is a testament to all concerned who also go out of their way to welcome me as well.
Thank you to everyone there. It is truly appreciated.

A fantastic care home with very friendly and supportive staff. The care home is well presented and does have a warm and friendly atmosphere. My family and I have been given so much help, support and encouragement during the process and have taken such great care of my grandad since he took residence
a few weeks ago.
Thank you to all the staff for helping us through the process and for looking after my grandad and for making us feel so welcome when we visit.

I just wanted to express our thanks to all the staff and management team at Icknield Court for the care and support you have provided to my mother since she first came to the home in August 2021. She had stayed at the home for respite some 2-3 years earlier and the experience was not great. The changes
implemented over the last year or so have transformed the home. In just a matter of months, we have seen a huge change in mums health and wellbeing. She engages with all the activities and is just happy and content. She has made lots of new friends and that staff have simply been amazing. I cannot thank you enough for all your care and support.

I would like to thank all the staff for their kindness. professionalism and care they have shown my mum over the previous and difficult year. As a family, you've shown us a lot of support for instance giving us up to date information with phone calls, emails, letters etc and most importantly any change
in mum's health or care. We have also been very lucky to have been able to visit mum when safe to do so.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.644)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.644) out of 10 for Icknield Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 15 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 4.811 for Icknield Court is calculated as follows: ( (149 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 180 Ratings = 4.811
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Icknield Court is based on 15 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 15 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.833
  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.

Emma

Emma Fielder

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2023

I began my career in Health and Social Care back in 2002 in my hometown of North Wales, working as a Care Assistant. It was there that I discovered my passion for supporting others. In 2007, I became a Registered Nurse, earning a BSc (Hons) in Nursing, and in 2015, I completed a master’s degree in management.


Over the years, I’ve worked in Nursing and Dementia care environments, and I genuinely love what I do. Caring for others is such a privilege—being a part of someone’s life is incredibly special and something I value deeply.


What inspired me to work in the care sector


For me, nursing wasn’t just a career choice; it felt like a calling. One morning, I woke up and said to myself, “I want to be a nurse!” My late grandmother, who was a retired Night Sister, inspired me to take that step. Her dedication and passion for overseeing high-quality care have always been a source of motivation for me.


My passions outside of work


When I’m not at work, I love spending time outdoors, especially on long walks in the countryside or visiting new places with my family. I also enjoy tending to my garden, which is filled with a variety of flowers and even includes a large grapevine—I take great pride in it!


What makes me proud of Icknield Court


I’m genuinely excited to be part of the Icknield Court team. We have a “home from home” approach to care, which creates such a warm and welcoming environment for residents.


Even though we’re a large team, we’ve managed to build a strong sense of family, and every day feels different and fulfilling. Our well-being programme is full and varied, involving our residents in meaningful activities and staying connected to the local community.


It’s the little things—watching the team make a real difference, seeing residents smile, and having fun together—that make me so proud to lead here at Icknield Court.
