Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Our Mum passed away in April 2018. Despite being extremely busy, the staff cared for her extraordinarily well, meeting even her intimate needs with a smile and a light heart.


They appreciated who she was as a person; a lady who loved a laugh and they treated her accordingly, having a giggle with

her whilst still being respectful and preserving her dignity, which demonstrated not only their empathy but also their skill at recognising her needs at that time.


We understand that caring isn't the most glamorous or well-paid job, we did our research and saw first hand what bad care and slovenly staff looked like in other care homes.


However, the carers at St Edith's never acted like that, we could tell they wanted to be there and it was clear they loved doing what they were doing.


We would recommend St Ediths to anyone, whether suffering from dementia, or, as was in my Mum's case, just physically not able stay in their own home any longer.

We find the staff very friendly and caring. Always prepared to help and give the best support.
Food is very good and all residents seem very comfortable. The resident's rooms are very clean and the home is always in great condition.
We thoroughly recommend St Edith's for any elderly people needing
care and the ultimate in home comforts. Plenty of activities and entertainment.
Always updating the resident care plans.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.520) out of 10 for St Edith's Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.520 for St Edith's Court is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (16 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 294 Ratings = 4.52

  • b) 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 St Edith's 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:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 22 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
