My father has been in this care home for 16 months and all the staff show compassion and empathy in every aspect of his care and they make all family members feel welcome any time, night and day. The office staff always make you feel welcome and the kitchen staff work hard to provide excellent meal
choices at the home. Brilliant service throughout. Thank you all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father lived in this home for just over a year until he sadly passed away. He thoroughly enjoyed being in the home and greatly appreciated the care, warmth and friendliness of all the staff (managers, carers, nursing staff and all those involved with the everyday running of the home). It gave him
a new lease of life just as he needed it as his health and mobility gradually declined.


I would recommend the Davers Court in Bury St Edmunds unreservedly having seen the way that my father was helped and supported.

Although only at Davers Court for 5 months, my sister was extremely happy and very well cared for, all staff were very attentive and aware of any issues.
Relatives and friends were warmly welcomed in all areas. In total felt that the pressure had been taken off us a family.

I cannot thank the staff enough for their professionalism and kindness. From the moment that I made the first enquiry, I couldn't have hoped for a better service. If unable to answer my queries at the time of calling then someone called back very promptly. In the 10 days my father was with you he received
more care than he had had in the previous 5 months. Thank you.

I would not hesitate to recommend Davers Court to anyone who needed excellent care. The compassion, respect, dignity and privacy was paramount by all of the staff, nothing was too much trouble, the food was fantastic and everywhere was clean and tidy.


I am absolutely confident that my partner received

the best of care during his stay, and cannot wait to visit again soon.

My mother stayed for 10 days respite care following a hip operation.
The care and kindness she received meant that although she came into Davers Court in a wheelchair she was able to walk out. No mean feat for someone of 95! Many thanks.

Review from Gill R (Friend of Resident) published on 27 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my very first visit, in November 2017, to my neighbour in Davers Court, I could see how well he was being looked after. He looked warm, clean and very comfy. He had a pleasant room with his own TV and it was very quiet. The staff I met couldn’t have been more helpful and accommodating and were
genuinely caring even though he could be extremely difficult a lot of the time. There was often entertainment taking place in the main reception and I even saw staff dancing with residents. The home always looked clean and always smelt fresh. Sadly, my neighbour recently passed away but I know the staff did everything they possibly could for him in his final days. This is the second review I have submitted for Davers Court, the first being shortly after he went in. I can't speak more highly of the home and when the time comes, would be very happy to spend time in there myself! Thank you to all the dedicated staff- it's you who make it the welcoming home it is! Thank you.

Review from Caroline E (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Management and all staff were very helpful, caring and compassionate during my fathers stay at Davers Court. The home is well kept and modern with excellent facilities - my father particularly enjoyed the day centre on site and when able, joining in with the activities on offer as well as having coffee
in the downstairs cafe.
They delivered execellent palliative care during his final days and he was made as comfortable as possible. As well as caring for my father, staff and management supported the family, at this very difficult time, emotionally and physically. We were able to use guest accommodation to stay on site 24/7 to enable us to spend as much time as possible with our father, with meals and drinks as required. Nothing was too much trouble - Thank you Davers Court.

My husband has just gone into Davers Court, before this he was at home and used the Day Care there.
He had respite in the home and loved it, that is why I chose this home.
He is well looked after and the staff are so kind and friendly. He tells me he loves it there.
That makes me feel better and
do not feel so guilty, but of course, I would rather he was at home with me.
He is there for his own safety and also for my health.

My mother has flourished at Davers Court. She is very happy to complain about anything and everything but has nothing but praise for the manager and all her staff at the home.
She has individual care and trouble is taken to try to enrich her life, successfully. Visitors and family are welcomed and
staff always speak to us and mum. Thank you.

My mother has resided at Davers Court for the past 6 months after moving from a bungalow in Stowmarket, where she was visited 5 times a day by carers.
I say the following without any reservations whatsoever. Davers Court has provided excellent quality of service, the well-managed staff, quality of
staff helpfulness, spotlessly clean environment and a wonderful homely welcoming approach, just lends itself for all whom live, work or visitors alike providing a home from home atmosphere. Food standards are good and varied to meet most expectations. Well done to Davers Court manager and her dedicated team.

I chose Davers Court for my husband to spend 5 weeks in respite care and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others. The staff are friendly, polite and provided an excellent standard of care. The room and surroundings were very clean, bright and comfortable. I felt safe in the knowledge that my husband
who can be quite challenging at times was in safe and capable hands.

My mother, who was suffering with dementia, was in Davers Court for 6 months until her recent passing. From the beginning, she was treated professionally and with the utmost love and care and after a 'settling-in' period, soon adapted to her new home. With constant companionship, she started to join
in the activities and when visiting it was obvious she was more happy and contented and we were always greeted warmly by the excellent staff. When mum passed away quite suddenly, the staff were there, as usual, to help us with our loss and the family will always be grateful to know that her last few months were enhanced by the care and attention shown by everyone at Davers Court.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.866)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.866) out of 10 for Davers Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.866 for Davers Court is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 322 Ratings = 4.866
  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 Davers Court is based on 27 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 27 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.
