Mother has found it hard to accept her loss of independence, but as she could no longer look after herself well or safely in her own home and as a sociable person, Nynehead Court has proved an excellent solution.

Nynehead provides excellent all round facilities and all staff are professional and work hard to ensure that my mother enjoys the best quality of life. This reflects a general thoughtful and respectful approach which balances the provision of appropriate care with concern to ensure a high degree of
independence and dignity.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was at Nynehead Court after over 6 months in and out of hospital. He was very well cared for and although our family knew that my father was terminally ill, we were greatly comforted to know that he was supported by the wonderful caring staff and in the beautiful surroundings at Nynehead Court.

Review from John L (Son of Resident) published on 20 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had been a resident at Nynehead Court for 3 years, where she was extremely happy and very well looked after. When she was first admitted, she moved under pressure from her children, firm in the belief that she would not like the environment. However, within two weeks she had wondered why
she had not made the move earlier!


The setting and grounds are truly gracious but it is the genuine friendliness of all the staff, which sets Nynehead Court on a pedestal. Nynehead Court is not like a care home at all, it is a hub of activity and a genuine part of the local community where fetes, concerts, big breakfasts, hunt meets, art exhibitions, displays, classes, community meetings and numerous events are held to ensure that the residents are a part of the outside community. There are also daily outings to places of interest and a regular changing calendar of activities to keep residents interest in whatever they like.


Nynehead Court is special in every respect.

Review from Mark (Son of Resident) published on 20 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As you enter Nynehead Court you feel like you are entering a stately home but it still has a comfortable, homely feel about it. It is situated in lovely grounds. When I visit my mother there is always a relaxed, genuine welcome from the staff. I feel quite at home sitting in her room, as it is filled
with her own furniture, or accompanying her to meals in the dining room. The management and staff are friendly, relaxed and attentive and, more important than anything else, very caring.
My mother moved into Nynehead Court about two and a half years ago when she could no longer cope at home. She participates in many of the activities and outings and attends Sunday service at All Saints church which is in the grounds of Nynehead Court.
She tells me, "If you do need to live in a residential care home, this is the best one to be in."

Review from V L L (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 20 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We first found Nynehead Court because after researching more than 20 care homes, it was the only one willing or able to offer short term respite care when we needed it for my elderly father in law. After a month's stay, we realised that Nynehead offered a much better living arrangement for him than
we could provide in our own home so we moved him there permanently. This has been an excellent decision, he is cared for, his meals are prepared to his satisfaction, he has activities and entertainment and a lovely garden in which to roam. We know he is safe. The staff are friendly and responsive to our inquiries and requests and although the cost is high, the financial arrangements are fair and clearly documented.

Review from Jenny (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
There is a lovely atmosphere at Nynehead Court. Staff know residents names and use them all the time. They have time to have a chat with residents and exchange some gentle banter and teasing. The surroundings are more like a country house hotel than a care home. The welcoming drawing room is beautifully
furnished with a roaring fire in the winter. The chairs and tables are grouped as they would be in a hotel rather than arranged around the edge of the room as in many care homes. The activities staff organise an interesting variety of activities and trips and they get to know the residents and the activities that they will enjoy. A particular advantage of Nynehead Court is the relationship with the local community. Residents are able to be involved in, and attend, a number of local events. The meals at Nynehead are very good with an interesting and varied menu. Visitors are always welcome to join residents for meals. The gardens at Nynehead Court are a wonderful asset for the residents.

Review from Lyn (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 24 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As we arrived we were met by the manager and care staff who assisted in bringing things to my room and were full of smiles. The room had been set for me and dressed with a new bowl of beautiful sweetpeas. I was made very comfortable and all information about the room and facilities were explained to
me. During my stay, I had my hair done and was given a bath. I met the chef who provided me with food to suit my needs. All the staff were very kind especially a gentleman who was very nice and helpful, he wheeled me around the grounds each day on the last day he took me around in the buggy. My visitors were all treated with respect and they commented on how helpful and courteous the staff are. I will go again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt was a resident at Nynehead Court for over 3 years, both in the residential home and the dementia unit. She was extremely well cared for during her time and was only moved to another care home for family reasons. The staff are most caring and considerate of residents needs and show great respect
to all their residents. The food is excellent and the rooms are always very clean. My family and I would have no hesitation in recommending Nynehead Court to anyone with an elderly relative who would certainly benefit from living in these beautiful surroundings.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.846)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.846) out of 10 for Nynehead 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.846 for Nynehead Court is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.846
  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 Nynehead Court is based on 11 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
