We moved my mother into Mary Chapman Court a year ago, she spent three months in hospital prior to this, in this time we visited various care homes, non matched Mary Chapman, a year on our opinion has not changed. My mother is happy, she tells us so, mother has dementia and the staff care of her cannot
be faulted. We know the staff and they know us, every visit someone will give an update on my mother, we recently had a holiday, leaving mum in the care of Mary Chapman gave us peace of mind.

The staff are always on hand to help you with any queries or comfort you during those emotional times. The home is always immaculate and the gardens are kept beautifully. They also have a wonderful
range of activities on for the residents which is so lovely.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited five different care homes when searching for one for my elderly auntie. What a responsibility. I wanted to find a place she would be happy, safe, and well cared for, but also convenient for other family members to visit, when they came into the UK. All of our family but myself, live in the
US. When I visited everything was clean and the residents, staff, and other visitors, seemed happy. Everything was clean and there was a very good atmosphere. My auntie moved in, under much protest, but it was best as she was unable to care for herself at all. She immediately fell in love with the place and told me 'she was never going home, no matter what I said.' I could not have been more pleased. She feels safe and well cared for.

My sister was admitted to Mary Chapman Court with a diagnosis of mixed Alzheimer's/vascular dementia. Initially, this was for respite accommodations that became residential and finally end of life care. Mary Chapman Court provided a very caring, empathetic environment at all stages. In order to provide
a safe and happy end to a full life. I have no hesitation in recommending the whole team to others.

My husband went for two weeks of respite at Mary Chapman Court (7-21st May) he was given first-class care and assistance. Very friendly and happy staff always greeted us. He was very happy there and enjoyed his respite. We cannot praise the staff enough. We hope he can return in the next few months.

All staff cared for our mother with kindness and compassion throughout her residence. Showing her respect and dignity at all times. Her room was consistently clean and personal item's hygiene standards were high. Covid protocols were thoroughly enforced and maintained. Food was always of a high standard
and interaction was friendly and personal. Would highly recommend.

The staff at Mary Chapman Court are amazing, they are under new management and I have noticed a great difference in the staff morale. They truly are like a big family, you can see the team dedicated to the care of the residents. I happened to be there a day a resident had passed away and all the team
gathered at the front entrance to say their goodbyes when they left the home, you could see every member of that team was sad to see a family member leave. I would highly recommend this care home if you're looking for a caring, happy and safe environment.

My mother moved into the home in September 2021 and the overall level of service and support has been excellent. From getting the room set up, putting up her pictures to adapting her care to manage her increasing fragility responsiveness has been excellent. Admin, management and care staff are all friendly
and create a positive family atmosphere.

My dear mum passed away at the end of August last year. She spent 20 months in Mary Chapman Court. We found the team to be warm and friendly, a family style atmosphere from the manager and every single team member. They all played an important role in Mum being happy. The care received was excellent
and respectful. My mum really enjoyed the singers and entertainment.mThe team were all very approachable and nothing was too much trouble. My Mum had craved skate and chips and the cook kindly said if I got some skate she would cook it. That really made Mum's day. The home is very clean and the food is very good.
If you are looking for a lovely care home for a family member or friend Mary Chapman Court is an excellent choice, you will not be disappointed.

When my husband was admitted to Mary Chapman Court, having no recent experience of care homes, I didn't really know what to expect. While my husband, in his muddled mind, planned his escape, I could see that all his needs were being met. The care extended to my husband and observed towards other residents
was for me comforting. As his needs changed, so all the staff adjusted their attention. I observed the respect shown to him and how his dignity was preserved as far as possible. When his physical health declined, the dignified care continued and was extended to me as well. I cannot praise the staff enough for how this stage was handled; they all, no matter their job description, contributed to make this difficult time as gentle as possible. He, and I, have so much to be thankful for.

My mum arrived from hospital for respite care and during the next 12 weeks she has received excellent care from the staff to ensure she has regained her health sufficiently to allow her to return back to her home. Mary Chapman Court provides wonderful health care, fully understanding what she required
to ensure her health improved together with being in a safe and well-maintained environment with lovely meals. She has enjoyed her stay and fully appreciates the efforts of all the staff.

My mother was located to Mary Chapman Court from London a couple of months before the first lockdown. I have found all the team here have worked hard to keep things as normal as possible for the residents. There has been good communication with regards to the ever-changing rules on visiting which has
proved very useful
and a virtual residents meeting has proved very informative. The team have gone out of their way to help keep residents and their relatives in touch by varying means. The home was suited to my mother as it is small and homely and this has helped keep residents safe, my mother has a lovely room with a small patio area overlooking the garden. My mother can be quite difficult at times but all the team are very patient and caring.

Review from Eamonn (Nephew of Resident) published on 22 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When my Aunt's Dr told me that my Aunt needed more care than what I could provide her, I was concerned about finding a suitable care home for her. My aunt is a very private person and very reserved and was worried I wouldn't find one that could cater for her, so I visited many care homes and after a
long search found Mary Chapman Court. The home was spotlessly clean and didn't have that hospital smell that some had, appeared more similar to a good private hotel, the staff and management are professional and caring, and under this current situation (Corona Virus) have gone the extra miles to keep the residents safe and happy. Although most of the activities have had to stop, they have sorted a Skype facility so we can talk and see my aunt regularly. Before Corona, I visited my aunt daily and watched my usually shy reserved Aunt turn into a much happier contented person. She has Alzheimer's but I really think the staff and their care has slowed down its progression. Thank You, Mary Chapman Court.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.301)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.301) out of 10 for Mary Chapman 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 6 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 4.819 for Mary Chapman Court is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 72 Ratings = 4.819
  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 4.482 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Mary Chapman Court is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.882
  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.
