We are really pleased with dad's care to date. He is being well looked after by staff who show him respect and treat him with dignity. They are happy to assist in helping him to eat. Their communication is good. We feel that dad is safe at Drayton Court.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved into Drayton Court in September 2024 as I could no longer care for or meet Mum's needs due to my own illness and work commitments of other family members. My family and I have noticed how much the staff from management, carers, domestic assistants and anyone who helps to meet Mum's care
and needs go above and beyond the care they give, to the point that Mum's mental health has improved myself and family are made to feel very welcome when we visit and feel very reassured that Mum is being cared for with empathy dignity and in a professional manner even when stretched in their work load. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place either for themselves or an other person.

My best friend has had the good fortune to spend the rest of her days at Drayton Court. The exceptional care she has received from the friendly staff and management has been second to none and has now turned her life around. I do not have to worry about her knowing she is looked after so well.

In my home Drayton Court, when visiting, my family express the same which which is everything I wish for, and they would wish for themselves. The care is given with such respect and dignity how can it not deserve 11 out of 10? The staff go above and beyond their duty of care on all levels of staff.

Sunday morning at the lodge household the staff went above and beyond for my great aunt who is now on end-of-life care, they sat with her, held her hand, and spoke to her, it's just so amazing to see that there not just residents and its not just a job to these carers but they treat residents like there
own, it's absolutely amazing and I know my great aunt is in the best hands, I cannot thank the ladies on lodge floor enough for what they have done over the years, thank you so much.

I have always been happy my wife is in Drayton Court. She is well looked after. I've been unsteady on my feet at the minute and the staff bend over backwards to make my visit to my wife easy for us. The staff look after my wife so well, she looks her best in the last three years. They understand her
needs as she can be very challenging at times.

Our mum was cared for by the staff at Drayton Court for the last few months of her life. She was treated with love, respect and dignity by all the amazing staff. As a family we were always welcomed and well looked after and kept informed of any changes to her care. We can't thank you all enough. Drayton
Court is not a care home it's a home that cares.

This care home is extremely supportive of my Mum who has dementia. The food is usually very nice but I feel sometimes they don't encourage drinking. The man who sings here is a friendly entertainer. The rooms are cosy and adequate. Maybe a bit more communication between staff and carers.

Attended the summer Fayre today at Drayton Court and it was so lovely to see all the service users having a great time getting involved with the fundraising.
The staff all clubbed together to ensure the day ran smoothly and everyone was involved where possible.
The staff were all so attentive to the
needs of the service users as well as balancing entertaining the guests visiting the service.
Very well organised and a great day had by everyone who attended

Review from Alison T (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident on Cedar floor since the summer of 2022 after moving from another care home, where we as a family were not happy with their care and interactions with the residents.
From the first moment we walked in through the door we knew this place was right for Mum. She immediately
settled in and has not asked to be taken home once. The staff are amazing and have got to know Mum's likes and dislikes better than we have.
Cedar floor can be the liveliest of the floors at Drayton Court, the staff on this floor never stop but are always willing to help when needed.
I believe they would benefit from another pair of hands on this floor, to reduce the workload and stress to these staff as I’d be devastated if any of them left.
Mum was recently in hospital, on her return to Drayton she was greeted like she was royalty. I felt I had missed the place, the residents and the staff, and felt she’d come back to her home and not just a care home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Moving a parent to a care home is such a heartbreaking decision, having said that it was the best decision we could have made. My dad is as happy as he possibly could be for his situation. The care he receives is second to none. The carers are simply amazing, they are so upbeat and so kind and helpful,
he is so fond of them all. The management team are very quick to resolve any issues and always so friendly and helpful. When we were looking for a home we were turned down by many homes for his needs being too high, Drayton Court accepted us with open arms and nothing has ever been too much trouble. It has changed our lives as a family, knowing that my dad is safe, warm, very well fed and happy. I couldn't recommend this place enough.

I have been in to see my friend who lives in the lodge household, well what can I say the staff are amazing, nothing is too much bother for any of them, the laughing and the joking and the bond they have with my friend is second to none, the 3 ladies that were working deserve recognition, they treated
my friend like a friend, not a resident, I am so proud of each and every one of you, I have never come across such amazing people, so thank you Drayton Court for bringing my best friend of a lifetime back.

To me Drayton Court is not a care home, it's home from home with love, care, respect and dignity for their residents. This is the second care home my mum has come to and the difference in care and attention and hope is second to none, my mum has gained conference, independence and the will to keep going,
and that to me is a joy to see. The manager, carers, office staff and cooks, to them, these are not residents they are their family and are respected as such.

My mother moved into Drayton Court in July 2022 (3 weeks as of this review). The transition into full-time care is unsettling for sufferers of dementia. This may not always be the case but it certainly has been for my mother. After visiting for the weekend and witnessing caring engagement that is upbeat
and positive, and after seeing a clean homely environment, I feel confident she is being well looked after. It's early days but so far Drayton Court is ticking all of the boxes.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.247)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.247) out of 10 for Drayton 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.769 for Drayton Court is calculated as follows: ( (77 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 91 Ratings = 4.769
  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 4.478 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Drayton Court is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 9 = 0.778
  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.
