Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
One year ago, my mother had a stroke followed by pneumonia,  which left her unable to live in her own home anymore. Living in Caterham all my life, I knew which care home would suit my mother for her needs. I chose Elizabeth Court, not only because it is local but I knew she would get top quality care
and assistance with daily tasks. We also get regular updates on mum's health and welfare. Since arriving, the staff have encouraged her to walk again and she has met some new friends. Unfortunately, things have changed since the Covid-19 virus but Elizabeth Court have made comprehensive measures to ensure  health and safety of all, having regular Covid-19 tests for staff and clients. We can also see our loved ones by making  pre-arranged meetings in the garden

During Covid-19 I have been unable to visit my mother, who has Alzheimer's Disease. She has been living in Elizabeth Court Care Home for two years.
The standard of care is outstanding.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff.
On her 90th birthday, an afternoon tea was laid on for the family and
a huge fuss made of Mum.
The kindness of the staff is truly exceptional.
Today I was able to visit Mum in the garden whilst maintaining two metres apart. This meant a great deal to me to be able to see her. The staff set up an area outside taking all the necessary precautions to make this possible - thank you.
This home is very well-led.

I would like to praise the amazing staff for their care and support of my mum in her final days. She has been at Elizabeth Court around 9-years, and I have always found the staff caring and person-centred. In her last few days, people were even more amazing and finding the right music to create a peaceful
atmosphere, ensuring Mum was comfortable and supported tenderly. They were also fantastic with me, answering question sensitively and clearly, making sure I had emotional support and all I needed. The manager and her team are just the best, thank you!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was my father's second stay at Elizabeth Court. We were impressed with the number of familiar staff faces from his last visit in September 2017.
He was welcomed back and when I went to collect him ten days later, he'd obviously enjoyed his stay.
The staff were friendly, inclusive and attentive.
I've been back to Elizabeth Court since and staff have been eager to find out 'when's he coming back?'
All members of staff with whom I came into contact with or without my father seemed keen to do their best for him.

Today I made an unannounced visit to an old friend who has been a resident at Elizabeth Court for almost three years. I was welcomed most warmly by the staff and joined her in the tea room' for elevensies and homemade cake - delicious. I met several residents who were delighted to greet my wee dog,
Lady, and made a great fuss of her. The whole place was spotless and smell-less too. If I need to go into care I would like a home like this.

We came for a weeks respite care, following an operation on my shoulder. I am carer for my wife, who has Parkinson's. Our week was all we could possibly have hoped for. We were well fed and attentively cared for by staff who seemed interested in their work.

The care my mother gets is of a high standard - she is well looked after by all the staff. I have a review with the home manager about every 2 months, this allows me to discuss any issues or concerns I have about my mum's care and needs.


All the staff are friendly and always ready to chat.

Mum has really come out of her shell since she started living at Elizabeth Court, the staff have gone out of their way to encourage her to mix with other residents and take part in outings etc. She loves the food, we’re so impressed we are moving my father-in-law in as well.

The staff are very caring and there is a wide variety of activities on offer. The food is of excellent quality and the home is clean, tidy and has a lovely garden. Recent decorations have made the living areas more interesting and there are now some pet birds on site. The number of trips out also seems
to be increasing.

Mum settled in very quickly and is well recovered now partly due to the continuity and genuine care of the staff here. Mum is safe and well looked after. We are looking forward to the activity coordinator's new ideas.
We are always made to feel welcome when we visit mum, whatever the time of day. Thank
you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot express my gratitude and thanks for the wonderful staff who have looked after, cared and befriended my father in the years he has been at Elizabeth Court. Whenever I visited he always had a smile on his face, was well turned out, and treated with respect.


In the past year his health slowly

deteriorated, nothing was too much trouble for the staff on my father's floor. The Duty Manager does a great job of keeping staff and residents on an even keel.
The Claremont staff cared for him in so many ways; from speaking, singing and dancing in Irish to making sure he was always happy, comfortable and well fed! Regularly, a particular member from Claremont would visit my father from the ground floor, I know my father enjoyed her company, as did I.


In the last weeks of my father's life, all the staff looked after my father in a happy, clean, comfortable environment, he died with dignity and respect.


Thank you to everyone.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.674)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.674) out of 10 for Elizabeth Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.674 for Elizabeth Court is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.674
  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 Elizabeth Court is based on 20 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 20 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.
