My dad has only recently moved in and so far I am really pleased. We have been kept up to date with his progress. He has been treated with care despite being in the difficult "I want to go home" period. He likes the food.

My partner moved into Icknield Court on March 13th. She is 69 and suffers with dementia. She is very active and needs lots of stimulation which the staff provide. She is very happy there, which is a great relief for me as I was stressed out before. They have regular open days and events and two
friends and I went to the BBQ on 22nd July and although it was raining, the staff were so cheerful and helpful and we enjoyed the food, drink and music.

I attended a strawberry and pimm's day at Icknield Court with my family. We were all very impressed with how the management and staff put time and effort into a fantastic day of entertainment for their residents and families. It was wonderful to see the residents happy enjoying themselves and joining
in, many who were capable were encouraged to get up and dance to the music, those who were unable joined in with the singing. I feel very happy that my father in law is at this home.

Since my Dad moved to Icknield Court 3 months ago it is a relief to me and Mum to see how calm and smiling he still is. It is a very comfortable place to visit as all the staff are so friendly and they are happy to see us whatever time of day we turn up. The Manager is also very pleasant and has got
to recognise us already. The entertainment team work hard and it is good to see the smile they bring to Dad's face.

My dad has been a resident at Ickneild Court since November 2015, he is very happy there.
He suffers dementia and is 91 years old, he has been out on 2 trips on a steam train with staff and really enjoyed it.
The home provides good quality food, is clean, the staff are very friendly and hard working.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Find Icknield Court to be very clean, excellent individual patients/person friendly, attentive care staff. The dining area is light and airy and so far as I know the food is very good, served hot and nice variety. I believe that in the mornings there may be "group" activities but I am not sure if this
is so. Altogether I am pleased my wife resides here though I eternally wish she could still be at home.

Everything seems clean, friendly, warm, good environment, activities, caring. My elderly friend, although still a bit confused as to why she's there is content, healthy and active. Her room was decorated to her taste and she has some of her own furniture, which helps her a lot.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
As soon as we visited the home we knew it would be great for Dad.
The staff were very interested in finding out all about him and the layout was welcoming.
The rooms were a very good size and well furnished.
But above all, the care Dad received was over and above what we expected.
They bonded with
Dad and cared about him which was fantastic for the family.
The most amazing thing was their care for him in his final days, we could not have wished for anything better. They were very involved and this made Dad's passing so much easier.
We will always be grateful to you for making his passing peaceful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our aunt has lived at Icknield Court for several years. Both management and staff have been very proactive and supportive of her changing needs as her health has deteriorated. The high standards, in all aspects of her care, ensure we are informed of any situation that may be of concern, involving us
as needed.


We have been fortunate to find a warm, caring and stimulating environment for our aunt. It gives us peace of mind knowing she is in a safe and secure home with her personal, medical and dietary support needs being met by a team of experienced and professional carers 24/7.

Both my grandparents live in Icknield Court. The staff are very caring and look after my grandparents well. The manager is very approachable and I feel confident to ask him any questions with regards to my grandparents care. The atmosphere is "homely" and my family enjoy attending the events organised
by the home, which I feel makes the care home an extra special family experience.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I spend about two hours each week at Icknield supporting residents with activities.
We regularly play scrabble, dominoes and cards.
I assist with creative activities, which are often themed according to what is happening, e.g. Queen's 90th birthday, Christmas, Easter, gardening.
I am extremely impressed
with the variety of activities the residents are able to engage in. They find this very stimulating and it encourages them to chat.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit my wife three times a week so I see quite well how things are for her and see too that she is happy. The staff are good with her and also kind to me when I visit, including usually staying for lunch. My only gripe is that enough care wasn't taken to see that she wore her glasses all day, and
in fact have lost her glasses which I have now replaced. The new greek manager seems to have shaped things if that were necessary and is most attentive. Thank you for all your help.

My mother had lived in Icknield Court for five and a half years and in that time she was treated with great respect and care from all the staff. The home is kept well and is very welcoming to visitors. I visited mum often and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful to me as well. We really did
appreciate everything. My only negative thing to say is about the laundry.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally "mum" has been cared for exceptionally throughout her five years or so at Icknield Court. All services and needs were met and rendered graciously during her slide into dementia and ultimately her death recently. People still recognised that she was the gracious lady we have always known her
to be and we so appreciated that too.
Her "Nurses, Carers" on the whole have all been exceptional.

Review from Ella J (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally very good but open communication between staff and management is lacking. A current resident is violent and has caused serious injuries to two residents as well as striking my mother in the face twice leaving a bruise. In my opinion, this man is not receiving the care he needs and other residents
and visitors are not being safeguarded under the Fremantle Trust Policy. Staff are also at risk daily. Management did not tell my mother's keyworker or other staff about the incidents.
Reply from Stuart Robb, Business Development Executive at Icknield CourtWe accept that there were issues with regards to the challenging behaviour of one of our residents within a designated Dementia area of our Home. "We are pleased to say that all the incidents identified and their causes have now been resolved following involvement of the appropriate social and healthcare professionals working in conjunction with our own teams. All our residents continue to enjoy a caring and safe environment at Icknield Court, while extra provision has been made to those who needed further specialist care". - Antonios Loumousiotis - Home manager Icknield Court.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.557)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.557) 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 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 4.768 for Icknield Court is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.768
  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 4.789 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Icknield Court is based on 16 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.9
    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. 16 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.889
  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.
