Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
I really cannot understand how they get the high quality reviews they do. The facilities appear towards the top end and the "sell in" appeared so positive however the reality of care was something very different to be observed and experienced. Promises of involvement and communication proved empty handed,
care and compassion was clearly lacking with repetitive oversights despite raising concerns and not once, despite raising these concerns could they follow their own complaints process - not even the manager!
It is pretty obvious that senior management has been promoted through longevity not ability or skill set - something that then fed down.
Due to his fragile state of health we had to think long and hard about moving dad elsewhere but thank goodness we did as from the moment he arrived at his new home they were exceptional from beginning to end.
Make sure you look through the gloss

I would like to thank all of the staff for the amazing care everyone at Ruckland Court has shown towards my Mum JB. It was a difficult decision for the family and father to take but with the Alziemers at an advanced level we had run out of options. We have been incredibly impressed with the facilities
at Ruckland Court, along with the level of care, Mum couldn't be in a better place. Thank you three members of staff in particular for your help, very much appreciated.

I cannot fault Ruckland at all. My Uncle has improved physically and mentally since moving in here. The staff are fantastic, polite, professional and genuinely caring. The management have been superb, very approachable and helpful.
I work in healthcare and visit many sheltered housing schemes and Ruckland
Court is quite simply the best I have known.
Thank you so much for offering such excellent care.

My mother was going through a very hard time mentally, we chose to look into some respite care and contacted Ruckland court, the response we got was excellent, they were very understanding and offered us lots of support. Mum entered the home in October 2024 for 1 month. She has nothing but praise for
all concerned in her care, everyone was polite and couldn't do enough for her. The rooms were modern and beautifully decorated and she was very comfortable. She was included in all activities and went out on a trip which she thoroughly enjoyed. There was a hairdresser on site which she took advantage of. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ruckland Court. I'm sure Mum will return again in the near future.

My mum recently celebrated her 89th birthday in the Dam Buster bar at Ruckland Court. We had a family gathering of approx 25 people, all the staff on duty that day went out of their way to make it a thoroughly enjoyable experience for Mum, making sure we had everything we needed. Although mum has only
been a resident for a short time, she and all the family have been made very welcome and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Lastly, the Dam Buster bar was the perfect venue for the party which was enjoyed by everyone. Many thanks.

Mum has been at Ruckland Court for almost 3 years and I have nothing but praise for the home and for everyone that works there. The difference in her is unbelievable and from a place of desperation as her Alzheimers took hold before moving there, to the happy, laughing person she has returned to, has
been amazing and such a relief to see. She loves life again, and as much as possible with dementia, I have my mum back.
I will be forever grateful for the time and effort that the manager and his team invest in all the residents, it's the little things they do, caring gestures, jokes to make them laugh etc, basically being family to them, when family can't be there that make the difference.
Frankly, not only has Mum already been given 3 more years than than I thought possible, such was her decline, but my brother and I are now able to relax physically and mentally knowing she is safe and happy, and now in such beautiful surroundings too.
Thank you will never be enough.

Both my parents are residents at Ruckland Court where they have their own rooms but spend their day together in Dad’s flat. We were encouraged to bring up many of their personal possessions collected over their long marriage so both their rooms have become a real home from home.
Mum and Dad have the
best of both worlds in the support provided being of light touch for Mum whilst she is relatively well and more in-depth for Dad who needs greater help with his daily living needs now.
All staff know them both well and that includes us as the wider family too. I am on first-name terms with the whole team and I feel very able to bring up any worries I or my sister may have in order to resolve them in the best interests of my parents. I think this illustrates the open communication and respect demonstrated to the residents and families at Ruckland Court and provides reassurance to my sister and I that my parents are well cared for and settled.

I would just like say that my auntie has only been in Ruckland Court Care Home for about two weeks. So, at this, the information will only be based on this very short time we have at the moment. All the staff are very friendly and supporting in her needs, comfort and mind. Also, we find they have been
very approachable in every area. So, a big thank you at this difficult time for our family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What a gem! We were looking for a suitable home for mum, who has mobility problems and failing sight. After visiting numerous homes, I came across Ruckland Court and arranged a visit. I was shown around by a lady, who gave a very in-depth description of the home and apologised for the huge renovations
that were going on.
Mum moved in between Christmas and New Year. A huge change after living in her own home. She couldn’t have been made any more welcome.
The care in Ruckland is second to none. Having worked in a senior post in the NHS I was more than aware of the need for good quality, safe care and wanted the best for mum. And we have it. Every single member of staff I speak to knows my mum, no having to check notes to see who I am enquiring about. Nothing is too much for any of the staff. So kind and caring.
The manager is straight onto any queries and concerns I have are dealt with immediately.
We have found, in my opinion, the best home in Lincoln.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for Ruckland 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 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.665 for Ruckland Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 185 Ratings = 4.665
  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 Ruckland Court Care Home is based on 15 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 15 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.
