  • Silvanna Court, Wickford
Silvanna Court provides a calm and friendly atmosphere, with activities designed to stimulate, amuse and entertain all of those who are cared for. Refurbished in 2023, the home provides expert care along with great facilities for older people, including those living with dementia. The home's amenities and homely décor ensure that residents have a comfortable and welcoming environment in which to live.

In addition to the secure courtyard where residents can sit and chat and enjoy the summer with pleasant potted plants and hanging baskets, there is also a new innovation. This year there is a mini allotment for residents to grow their own produce, a welcome addition for residents to become involved in and then to enjoy the ultimate in home grown vegetables.

Silvanna Court hosts the Wickford area Alzheimer’s Society support group, which is designed to help local relatives, friends and carers of people with any form of dementia.

The support group is open to anyone who needs support, advice or information on dementia related matters, be they emotional, medical, and financial or just need of a sympathetic ear.

My mother moved into Silvanna Court last year. Since moving in I cannot fault the level of care she has received. The staff take a personal interest in her wellbeing and care, nothing is too much trouble for them. They are always friendly and approachable. Activities, events and trips are well organised
by a team dedicated to this area.
We have regular reviews with Care Team Managers and it is apparent from these reviews that every aspect of mums health is constantly monitored. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this Care Home.

The home is bright and cheerful. Staff always willing to talk to visitors and listen to any worries. Rooms kept fresh and clean. Small lounge diner areas make it feel like a home from home. My mother has been looked after extremely well. The activity coordinators are the best I have seen. I visit and
worked in care homes. Residents have outings, shows once a month and different weekly activities,

Review from Janice L (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum has been in Silvanna Court for 2 years, during which time her dementia has sometimes made her difficult to deal with, especially she has refused personal care from the staff, and I have had to give her a bath. I have been happy to do this and have been supported by the staff whenever I have needed
help. Mum is as settled as she can be and definitely shows that she likes the staff as they can make her smile and laugh.
I am happy with the care that Mum receives and the activities that she is able to take part in, Mum has never been one for company but seems to join in if encouraged to do so; she eats well and enjoys her food.
The staff and management are always friendly and accessible, they keep me up to date with how Mum has been between my visits and there are regular meetings where any issues can be discussed.

Our mother has been cared for at Silvanna Court for about eighteen months - in that time we, as a family, have been very happy with her care. The staff are very obliging, friendly and caring. The management team are very approachable and if we ever have a query or little problem, it is always dealt
with speedily and efficiently. They have regular organised events to improve our mum's quality of life. She always looks clean and well cared for. Overall we are very happy with everything at Silvanna Court, having looked at other care homes before deciding. We feel we made a good decision in choosing Silvanna Court and would happily recommend this Care home.

My mother was only a resident for a year and a half. My mother's health improved and her walking. Every carer was kind, caring and always helpful. I never once heard a raised voice in anger, always helping and with a smile for the residents. The home is spotless and my mother loved the meals.
My mother
was very happy and I thank every member of staff for making her last years happy, safe and comfortable. As a family, this gave us peace of mind.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My husband has been a resident in Silvanna Court for 20 months. During this period I have visited daily, except for brief days away. I find the carers very attentive to my husband's needs and treat him in a respectful manner. I am impressed by the immediate action if a doctor or paramedic is needed
which is particularly important to me as my husband cannot verbalise his distress. I am confident my husband has his physical needs met and is as comfortable as possible, sitting all day, as his mobility has decreased. I appreciate sharing meals, at times.

My relative has been at Silvanna Court for three and a half years and as a family, we could not have found anywhere better for her. The staff are very caring and supportive. The management are very approachable. The activity girls are exceptional, they work very hard to provide varied activities and
trips out. I have recommended this care home to several people. The standard has not dropped.

My mother resided in Silvanna Court for seven months during this time, after initial reluctance to go into a care home, she settled in and had a lovely relationship with all the staff as did all our family. They were professional, respectful, caring and affectionate giving all the time needed or just
wanted. Never demonstrated they were time limited which I am sure at times they were, wonderful, outstanding home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) out of 10 for Silvanna 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.785 for Silvanna Court is calculated as follows: ( (209 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.785
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Silvanna Court is based on 22 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
