My dad has been a resident at Victoria Court since July 1st 2025. He has settled extremely well, due to the care and compassion from all of the staff who work there. You are always greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always a helping hand nearby if
needed. Mum was been made to feel part of the family too and invited to join in for activities and some meals which really means a lot to us, as a family.

My mum has been a resident for just over 3 years. She has always been treated with respect and upmost care. I feel that mum is in a safe environment and her needs are took care of. There is many activities for mum and her family such as social events, bingo entertainment such as singers etc. I would
not hesitate in recommending this care home to anyone.

My parent's have resided in Victoria Court since April 2025. They have both settled really well. The staff are very friendly and approachable. They always greet you with a smile and nothing's too much trouble. They have made the care home homely and the carers are experienced in treating all the residents
individual needs.

Our experience with Victoria Court has been amazing. The staff are all friendly and helpful. They all know dad by name and know his needs, many took the time to get to know us too. The care was thorough and professional but also gentle, careful and considerate. We know dad was very happy there, although
some fixtures were a bit tired. When dad passed the whole process was dealt with smoothly and efficiently but with time, space, care and sympathy.

Absolutely fantastic care home, mum was very down and confused when she arrived, she is now the happiest I have seen her since dad passed 4 years ago. She loves all the staff and fellow residents, she has the sparkle back in her eyes, her lust for life is back aswell. It's not small part due to the
wonderful staff at Victoria Court, I really can't thank you all enough for what you've done for mum.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum who has Alzheimer's was admitted to Victoria Court for 3 weeks respite care. From the moment I visited Victoria Court, I knew it was the right place for Mum. Both the manager and deputy manager took time to reassure me they would look after Mum and I haven't been disappointed. The staff at Victoria
Court are always cheerful, friendly, helpful and reassuring. They work hard to encourage and support Mum helping her to maintain her independence and dignity - showing her respect at all times. The care given at Victoria Court is clearly sympathetically structured to meet the needs of its clients, from the variety of activities provided to 'snack stations' and calling rooms flats. Needless to say Mum will continue her care at Victoria Court!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister and I visited the home today to see our mum, downstairs rooms were fantastically decorated with a 1920s theme, all black and gold with balloon garlands and large posters.
Staff were in 1920's costumes looking really good, fully made- up, in their black and gold dresses and feathered bands
and beads, with lots of sequins and glamour or gangster trousers, braces and moustaches! All at 10.30am!
The place looked immaculately clean, as it always does.
A lovely experience, the residents really appreciated it all and so did we! We left in the early afternoon, however, there was a singer planned after lunch.
Levels of enthusiasm by the staff was great thank - you I hope that plenty of cash was raised from the stalls and raffles for your projects.
Well done to you all, you must be absolutely worn out by bedtime! Our deepest gratitude to you all. Mum is so fortunate to be there.

You walk into the home and you can feel a good vibe. There is soft music playing and even the busy staff always have a smile and hello for you. The activities are first-class and all inclusive for the residents. The management is super and always there if you need to discuss anything.

I visited my mum today and I like to wash/blow her hair to make her look lovely. The staff are so helpful, one member of staff in particular took me to the hair salon as Mum is not very mobile and took the time to help with hearing aids too. My mum has the best experience of a warm friendly place to
live with plenty of activities and entertainment. I always come away very grateful, I would definitely recommend this home to anyone.

Victoria Court has taken so much pressure off me with respect to my mother's care and I honestly couldn't recommend them too highly. My mother always looks clean and tidy. Her meals are excellent and her personal hygiene is constantly monitored. She is happy and I can visit her any time. The management
is excellent and all the staff are professional and friendly. There is always a happy atmosphere around the place.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My family have been very happy with the care provided for my mother since she moved there in 2021. Staff are friendly and treat her with respect. She always receives prompt attention for any medical issues and a proactive approach is taken to managing her conditions and keeping her safe. When inevitable
issues of friction/conflict with other residents have arisen these have been dealt with sensitively. Food appears very good and also provided with flexibility - for example seeing she was provided with something appetizing and nutritious after returning at unsocial hours from a hospital admission. The leadership provided by the Home Manager and Care Manager is excellent. I was very impressed by the recent meeting for residents and relatives - I've been to dozens, perhaps hundreds, of resident participation meetings in my career and this was among the very best - comprehensive, really engaged, and a genuine two-way conversation. I would happily recommend Victoria Court to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Victoria Court has provided excellent care for my father-in-law since his move there in late summer 2023. Having previously lived independently alone since being widowed, a recent fall and new diagnosis of mixed dementia meant that he and we, his family, agreed the time was right for this move. Our
family is spread across England; Victoria Court is great at supporting us, local family, to visit often in person and help keep distant family in touch by phone.
Our dad asked for a view, good food and to feel safe. He loves his flat, the garden and looking out on the park. They cater to his particular tastes without question! We're reassured he's safe, through good, solid nursing and compassionate care by all staff. They have quickly learnt to understand him as a person, to know when something is not quite right. They are adaptable and responsive.
As a family of nurses, we have no concerns about his care and would highly recommend Victoria Court to others.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother recently moved into Victoria Court after a short stay in the hospital, no longer safe to be alone in her own house. It only took a few weeks to settle in and find her feet with the excellent support from all members of staff. She's found a new lease of life, which is so lovely to see, enjoying
the fun and activities and making new friends. It's lovely to know she's no longer lonely and surrounded by people who genuinely care, such a weight off my mind. I'll quote her saying, "It's the best I've done"!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Victoria 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.827 for Victoria Court is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.827
  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 Victoria Court is based on 19 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 19 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.
