Review from Sally J (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother attends the day centre twice a week. The staff are amazing and she is always welcomed with a big smile. The care and attention she receives are wonderful and she is so happy to attend. There is always a lovely atmosphere and I feel secure in the knowledge that she is safe and happy and having
lots of fun. It gives me such peace of mind. She eats really well while she is there and the staff have gone to a lot of trouble to encourage her when she has gone through phases of not being so keen. Thank you.
Reply from Deborah Yadev, Marketing Manager at Anson CourtThank you for your comment. The team at Anson Court are delighted to have your mother stay with us. Wishing you a lovely day!

I recently had my mum come to stay as a permanent resident of Anson Coury.

She's a changed woman.
Everyone here works so hard, and they all deserve so much praise.

My 97 year old father is a resident of Mosquito Unit. The staff treat him with kindness, respect and dignity. I am very happy with the dementia care that my father receives. The facilities and his room are kept very clean and tidy. I would highly recommend Anson Court to anyone that has an elderly relative
that needs care.

My aunt was extremely happy on Lancaster and really well looked after by most of the staff who treated her like family. In her last two weeks, which were very distressing, the staff were wonderful, nothing was too much trouble. We felt they went above and beyond! Thank you so very much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister moved to Anson Court after the closure of another care home. She immediately was made most welcome. She has a large comfortable room and bathroom. The staff seem very kind and understanding and efforts are made to lay on a range of activities for the residents which my sister thoroughly enjoys.
Though I feel that it would be good if there were more days out (visits) arranged. On visiting Anson Court I have found the premises extremely clean and well-furnished. The management ensure all covid-19 precautions are met by the staff and visitors. Overall I feel that Anson Court is a very good home and provides an excellent experience for my sister.
Reply from Deborah Yadev, Marketing Manager at Anson CourtThank you for the review of Anson Court, we are extremely proud of this home and its wonderful team. Your sister is an amazing woman and we are lucky to have her with us. Please continue to let us know how we can improve the experience and support both her and the family better. I agree our days out schedule can become more vibrant, please bear with us as we return to normalcy. All comments are appreciated. Have a lovely day.

All of the staff at Anson Court are very helpful and friendly. They were especially welcoming when Mum recently came out of hospital. Since returning to Anson Court both her physical and mental health have improved immensely. The staff are encouraging and always make sure to pop into her room on a regular
basis, giving assistance where needed. All in all, Mum is very happy there.

I am really pleased with the respect and care that my mother receives at Anson Court. The staff in the unit are both loving and caring (with a couple of exceptions). Staff are always willing to listen and help. Downstairs at reception, they are happy to answer any questions or queries that I have. I
would recommend Anson Court to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

My mum has been a resident since April 2021. The home has done its utmost to make my mum feel settled as she was very anxious. There has been the odd hiccup but any issue is dealt with promptly and resolved. I would recommend this home to anyone. A really lovely, friendly, and caring team.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) out of 10 for Anson 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.833 for Anson Court is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.833
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Anson Court is based on 17 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 + 0.025 = 3.925
    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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 17 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.
