Today I visited a friend who is a resident at Ross Court.
Tomorrow is her birthday, so I asked a member of staff do they get a cake, his reply was yes,
he said at Ross Court the residents Birthday is made extra special, said they have cards, presents, balloons and birthday cake, and all the staff
gather round and sing happy birthday.
I asked my friend if she was happy at Ross Court and she said yes, made me feel very welcome.
She said the care she receives is outstanding.
We spent time in the pod, then when I left she was walking around the beautiful gardens at Ross Court.
I have no problem recommending the home.
It's in a lovely location close to town, and only a short distance from the beautiful River Wye.

It was so nice to visit a friend recently, I haven't been able to see her for a while as I been shielding. It was so nice to be able to see her face to face in the pod.
She looked very well; she said she wouldn't want to be anywhere else than Ross Court.
I asked if all her caring needs were being
met, she said everyone was so helpful and caring.
She told me that they have a new activities lady she doesn't always go to activities herself but has been going a lot lately, her words were I really enjoy getting involved now as they make it fun. She particularly enjoyed helping to decorate the wooden spoons.
Its been a pleasure visiting her knowing she is being really cared for.

As a volunteer for a local organisation, recently placed a friend in Ross Court for a period of respite for home improvement works. This home is an excellent local choice whom we have used several times in the past. The home is kept to a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene throughout the staff
are all well presented pleasant at all times to both clients and relatives and visitors. They respond proactively to their clients' needs and also engage them in many social activities for recreational stimulus. They have an excellent selection of all dietary needs. Inquiries are well met and responses quickly acted upon. This home is an excellent choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Ross Court for approx 4 months and we couldn’t be happier with the care and support she is receiving. All the staff are so nice and very caring and the home manager has done so much to make her feel safe, cared for and happy, often going above and beyond what is expected.
The communication during these difficult times has been fantastic, we really couldn’t have asked for more, the visiting protocol, when allowed, has also been eco driven to none. Well done to all at Ross Court.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has only been in Ross Court for two weeks; she was living in her own flat until recently her mobility became so bad, she was unable to care for herself. She had become very confused, and as much as we wanted to, we were unable to care for her ourselves. We are so happy with the care
that she has received, although because of the circumstances, we are unable to visit her, we can phone her every day. She sounds so happy and well cared for, her confusion is less, and she seems more like her old self. The staff are friendly and helpful; there seems to be a real homely feel to Ross Court. Mother is enjoying the lovely food, the menu certainly looks impressive! We are looking forward to visiting her and sitting out in the beautiful grounds, which she has yet to explore.
Reply from Nicola Thomas, Activities Co-ordinator at Barchester Ross Court Care HomeThank you so much for your lovely review of Ross Court, we look forward to you being able to visit us very soon and enjoy spending some lovely time with your Mum in the gardens.

Ross Court helped our family at a very difficult time for us supplying first-class respite care for Mum who has Alzheimer’s. Whilst the transition from home to Ross Court was not a straight forward one due to the pandemic, the staff made mum very welcome and comfortable, quickly working out her quirks!
Mum then had the stimulation she needed which would not have been available at home during this time and soon settled in. Thank you Ross Court for caring so well for mum during this time!
Reply from Clare Lockley, Activities Co-ordinator at Barchester Ross Court Care HomeThank you for your kind words and lovely review of Ross Court Care Home.

Review from Amanda G (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was moved to Ross Court after being evacuated from the residential home where she had lived happily for 14 months. We were experiencing the worst floods we had seen in over 60 years.
Mum has dementia and we worried about the effect the trauma would have on her mental health and the upheaval of
change and leaving the stability of a routine and people she understood and trusted.
The home went into lockdown mid-March but we needn't have worried.
Luckily mum has a phone in her room, she laughs and chats happily with us and has empathy, something that we thought dementia had taken from her some time ago.
My telephone conversations with her are reminiscent of a time when she was dementia-free.
Any concerns have been dealt with sympathetically and reassuringly. I'm confident that mum is being looked after well and the level of care is of an exceptional standard.
My confidence comes from the honest and openly caring attitude of the manager but more so the tone of my own mum's voice.
Reply from Samantha Fawcett, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Ross Court Care HomeThank you so much for your review, we very much look forward to seeing you visit the home soon, once restrictions are lifted. Mum is doing really well and is an absolute pleasure to have staying with us.

All the staff is dedicated to the care and comfort of the residents. Also friendly and helpful to visitors. The manager is approachable and has the welfare of residents and staff at heart, first and foremost. Only downside:- the coffee given in the home is awful! Wouldnt even have known it was coffee!
Reply from Samantha Fawcett, Customer Relationship Manager at Barchester Ross Court Care HomeThank you for your review. We strive to maintain a true 'home from home' feel throughout Ross Court. Apologies the coffee machine didn't suit your palette, please ask next time you visit for a 'chef special', and we'll ensure a freshly filtered cafetière is delivered to you.

My father has been a resident at Ross Court for over 2 years, he is well cared for and has been able to join in a number of activities and outings.
The home is very well managed, the staff an appropriate mix of professional and friendly, as his dementia has progressed they have treated him with dignity
and respect.
My father is comfortable and seems to enjoy the food.
I hope that the new owners will invest in updating the fixtures and fittings - whilst they are all adequate they do appear dated and somewhat tired.

My mother was apprehensive about "going into a home" - however, within a few days she was settled, happy and warmly welcomed by all staff, from the manager to the laundry - she was made to feel at home and relaxed. There are many activities available every day, she particularly enjoys the art group
and church services. The rooms are bright, clean and can be personalised to the resident's taste. Visitors are welcome at any time, we feel very relaxed about popping in for a coffee/tea with Mum, or even joining in some of the events.

My Father has been in the care of Ross Court since the middle of the year and he was very apprehensive about being in a "care home".
But the staff made him welcome and after several weeks, he started to settle in but stayed in his room a lot. Now they have coaxed him out he joins in with everything
and is really happy.
The only complaint he has, is about the food, he says it is "too good" and he really enjoys the varied menu and loves his Fish and Chips on Fridays.

I have visited Ross Court on many occasions over the last year. Ross Court is a beautiful house set in charming gardens and I am always greeted warmly by the friendly staff and management team.
All rooms are spacious and comfortably furnished, where residents can relax with friends and visitors, but
what most impresses me are the events which are arranged for the enjoyment of residents but also to encourage a feeling of belonging with the local Community. These cater for a wide range of interests as well as charity fundraising coffee mornings, in the last year I have attended a murder mystery evening, enjoyed a picnic in the garden, watched a belly dancing demonstration to name just a few.
I believe that many elderly people dread the thought of losing their independence due to needing care, but I believe that Ross Court do everything possible to make this home just that - Home!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.744)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.744) out of 10 for Barchester Ross Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.744 for Barchester Ross Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 363 Ratings = 4.744
  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 Barchester Ross Court Care Home is based on 30 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 30 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.
