* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.2 (maximum of 10) for Silver Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 20 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Silver Court in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.451 for Silver Court is calculated as follows: ( (132 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 237 Ratings = 4.451
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 4.714 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Silver Court is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8.4 positive Reviews (42 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 6 Reviews ÷ 8.4 Target = 0.714
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Silver Court has a Review Score of 9.2 (9.165) from 20 Reviews

The staff are very kind. I feel very safe here. I am as happy as I can possibly be. I have been in another care home and this is by far the best - it's 100%!

I have found the staff and carers very nice and helpful, people. My wife feels safe and well. Best home I have had the pleasure to visit to see my wife.
The home is clean and the food is good and prepared very nicely.
The rooms are kept nice and the residents are always clean and smart and looked after when resting and doing their own things and plenty of things to do to keep them happy and active.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J L (Daughter of Resident) on Thursday 4 January 2018. Relates to December 2017.
The carers are well-meaning and kind but there are too few of them really to manage the needs and numbers of residents.
For example, this afternoon, one carer was on duty with (I understand) 20 residents to supervise. She was to be alone with them for three hours - between approximately 1.30 and 4.30.
Help would be available elsewhere in the home if required.
Several residents are bed-bound with pressure sores so essential care (fluids and turning) would not be safely achieved, which must be compromising recovery.
The home manager was not in her office when I had to leave so I wasn't able to discuss the inadequate staffing.

We find the care given is good, the staff care about the residents. The home is clean and does not have the nasty smells that care homes have! The home is all on one level so that there is no dependency on lifts. It has been designed from scratch which means it was not converted from something else. The food is very good and comes directly from the kitchen, so it is hot when it arrives, it is also served on hot plates so that it keeps hot longer.

I would definitely recommend Silver Court. The home retains its staff who are all so caring, there are many activities for the residents and the food is outstanding. My husband has settled very happily which is a huge relief to my family.
There are internal gardens which the residents really enjoy in summer and through the windows in winter too.

My nan is a resident at this care home, the home is very welcoming as you walk in. Not a day goes by when my nan is lonely as she always has people surroundings her. The care she receives is outstanding. I would not change that in any way. It is always hard when a relative goes into a care home but I have received more support than ever from the whole care staff team and management.

Mum has been here since July 2016 and took about 4 weeks to settle. The staff are very kind and treat her with dignity and quickly gained knowledge of how to treat her individually. I visit weekly and am welcomed by staff and residents.
The home is nicely laid out and well kept. It is secure and there are nice gardens (also secure).
Mum is happy and relaxed here.

When my 91-year-old uncle needed to go into care 18 months ago, we visited a number of care homes in the area. We settled on Silver Court because of the way we were greeted and shown around the excellent facilities which are all on ground floor level. My uncle settled very well and although he is a private and obstinate man used to living on his own he has adapted to the routine of being in care. He appreciates the good food, the friendly, caring staff and the occasional outings. We would certainly recommend Silver Court to anyone looking for a home for an elderly relative.

Mum has been here for just over three years. She is treated with such great respect and understanding. Mum is so settled there and you can just tell that she is comfortable with her surroundings. She has the freedom to walk inside and outside. The staff are caring always and have time for Mum and me.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by P G (Son of Resident) on Friday 10 March 2017. Relates to February 2017.
My mother, who has Alzheimer's has lived at Anchor's Silver Court home for nearly two years. Silver Court really provides a home from home experience. All the staff are very friendly and professional and work together well to help my Mum with the impact of her Alzheimers. Her independence is maximised but there is always support on hand, along with a range of activities and visits. The accommodation kept to a good standard and feels very homely. My Mum is happy there and comments on how kind the staff are. As her son, I feel we are part of a bigger family.
