Review from Carolyn L (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On visiting my mum she looks well and cared for, clean and as comfortable as she can be. Staff are always around and have a chat with her. They make me feel they are happy to be at work. I hear chat and laughter which I feel is a good environment to live in.
the home never smells and someone is always
cleaning.
All through the home it shows homely warmth in decor and feeling.
Thank you all.

Review from John W (Son of Resident) published on 31 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot praise highly enough the kindness and care shown to my mother by all the staff at Thurn Court. She was immediately made to feel at ease and welcomed seamlessly into her new environment. The care given to her as an individual is faultless and all her needs have been met without exception. The
consideration given to members of the family is also second to none. Having had unhappy experiences in the past with care given to other elderly relatives, I would have no hesitation in giving the highest recommendation possible to Thurn Court.

Review from Donna G (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 31 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
No night manager on duty Thursday 11th and Friday 12th of February. During the take over meeting we had been assured a night manager would always be on shift. The above dates that we know of a manager was not present! Why?
My nan was taken really ill from a fall and a suspected stroke. We didn't think
she would make it through till Friday. Thankfully she did and is improving day by day.

Review from Hayley D T (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Thurn Court is home from home for the residents and that makes the relatives relaxed knowing their loved ones are cared for in the best way. All residents are individual and they cater for their own personal requirements. Thurn Court is friendly and a lovely atmosphere. If you have any issues the manager,
seniors will sort them out for you. Since Thurn Court has been taken over you can see the changes to the inside of the building making it look brighter and clearer, more activities are happening.

Review from Wendy P (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Too much time is spend writing up notes and reports on residents rather than actually caring for them. Carers do not have enough time to chat with residents and their relatives regarding any concerns they may have.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.627)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.627) out of 10 for Thurn Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.627 for Thurn Court is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.627
  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 Thurn Court is based on 13 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 13 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.
