Mum loves going to Dove Court for respite.The staff are always loving, caring and supportive with her. The manager of Dove Court also gives mum all the support she needs. Also gives me a lot of support too and help with lots of advice for me to care for my mum at home. Mum has always said if she has
to go into a care home she will only go here. We love everything about Dove Court. Management, staff, rooms, entertainment, food and drink. Thank you everyone.

My 89-year-old mother has been living at Dove Court for five years and is thoroughly enjoying her stay. The home is bright and cheerful and there are social activities to engage with residents and have fun. The staff are friendly, helpful, and professional. My mother's carers are kind and compassionate
and take care of her everyday needs; she has a choice of delicious drinks and meals throughout the day. My mother has a lovely comfortable room with sunlight beaming through her window; it is beautifully decorated and is peaceful. My mother is safe and secure, and I am very happy with the service provided.

Mum has been in Dove Court for a few years now, first arriving during Covid. From the start, and in difficult circumstances, the care home staff have shown great care and compassion to both Mum and us, her family. The staff engage well with her despite her dementia and associated communication difficulties.
Mum is well fed, and her health is well-cared for. Clear effort is made to include her in the communal activities arranged for the residents. Overall, Dove Court provides a very positive experience for us all.

Very caring staff, a very skilled and caring manager. My Mother has been in now for almost 2 years, and the day she went in, Dove Court immediately accommodated her when it was quite an emergency at the time. She is well looked after and all of the staff I have met are a credit to the home and the manager
who also works tirelessly.

My brother has been at Dove Court for several years now, but to my shame, I have only now come to write a review. From his first day at Dove Court, the Manager and all staff, have always taken time to get to know his every need; and notice the smallest of changes in his demeanour, They react to these
changes with immediacy, patience, kindness and understanding. They treat him with dignity and have a great rapport with him, using humour appropriately that he loves and responds well to. Communication is excellent and staff inform me immediately of any changes to his personal needs or anything that he requires. The home is clean and well furnished and I have always received a warm and hospitable welcome on my arrival, having travelled a long distance. He really enjoys the food and always tells me that he's very happy. He wouldn't want to be anywhere else. There is no greater recommendation than that! I have always felt very happy that he is well cared for - just like a family member.

I found Dove Court to be extremely warm and welcoming for my mother from day one. The staff are very warm and friendly, and the manager is always available for both feedback and support. My mother was taken and looked after there, the day after my father (her carer) was taken to hospital after suffering
a stroke, and she was content and happy from the first day, looked after and cared for very well, and my mind was put at rest while dealing with my father's incident.

My mother is always clean and presentable having previously been concerned over personal hygiene, this was really important to me. Her room is basic but generally clean and affords her basic needs. the staff are always visible and available. Very pleasant and polite. My mother seems settled and happy
and the staff engaged with her which is important.

The staff are very polite and kind. Always make me very welcome, treat mum-in-law with respect and kindness. The home is always very clean. mum-in-law is always in clean clothes and always dressed for bed when I visit in the evenings. Most days some entertainment and when well enough mum-in-law loves
trips to the cinema and coffee and cake. The food is a high standard, I often get offered treats such as home made cakes when I visit.

My mum has been staying in Dove Court for five months and has received the most wonderful care. The manager and her team are all so warm and caring and also welcoming, going out of their way to make me feel at home as well. The staff establish a lovely rapport with the residents, sharing a few laughs
and creating a real family atmosphere.

After trying dad in 3 other local care homes and struggling to tick all the boxes for his needs we finally have found his home for his last years. Staff go above and beyond to care for his everyday needs and a few extras on top, always spotlessly clean when you arrive, friendly chatty staff and welcoming,
dad is settling in well and enjoying his time at Dove Court, thank you to all staff.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.537)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.537) out of 10 for Dove Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.616 for Dove Court is calculated as follows: ( (108 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.616
  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 4.921 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dove Court is based on 14 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.921
  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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2014

I started working in care when I was 16 years old. There is nothing like care, it's really rewarding in its own way. Every single day is different and every single day you get that one little lightbulb moment where you are proud of how you have helped improve someone's life.


I started working with Larchwood Care in 2004 as a carer, progressing to senior carer, team leader, deputy manager and then manager. During that time I have achieved and an NVQ level 4 in management and level 3 in health and social care. In 2014 my career brought me to Dove Court as a home manager, covering maternity initially, which turned into the full-time job I have now.
