Review from Marie G (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has resided at Sutton Court Care Home for almost two years now and is completely settled and happy there. The staff are excellent and very person-centered to my mum's needs. They also make me feel very welcome when I visit and I love chatting to the other residents and joining in with all the
fantastic entertainment. The discos every Friday ran by the staff are superb and the residents love them. She is amazing at what she does as is the activities coordinator and the care staff are wonderful. Management also keep me well informed and ensure my Mum is safe and well and gets involved with all the residents and knows them personally which is lovely. I went to a Valentine's dinner there the other day and it really was amazing. They have entertainment and something planned every single day. I know my mum is being well looked after and that makes me very happy.

I cannot recommend this care home highly enough, they looked after my mum with great care and she thoroughly enjoyed being a resident there, unfortunately, Sutton Court is not a nursing home, if it was, my mum would still be there as I was very reluctant to move mum to a nursing home. Thank you to all
the staff for what they did for my mum, I will never be able to thank them enough.

I am so happy with the amazing care Mum is receiving. The staff are absolutely fabulous. Mum is a relatively new resident and at first, I was so anxious that she wouldn't settle in so well, she has made new friends, is involved in activities, she looks so much better than I have seen her in years and
has an amazing quality of life. Thank you Sutton Court - you are amazing!

What a lovely review for all the staff of Sutton Court: thank you! We are so pleased that your Mum has settled quickly and delighted that she is enjoying our wide range of activities and entertainment.

The staff at Sutton Court Residential Home have been very welcoming and helpful. My elderly aunt seems really settled and happy here and she seems to be eating well. She really enjoys the activities that are run by the staff, especially the bingo! As we live so far away, it is very reassuring that she
is being so well looked after.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All of the staff were warm and welcoming. My grandad loved staying here, he had made friends with some of the other residents, and he loved the staff that cared for him. We visited regularly, and nothing was too much trouble; the staff could not do enough for us and my grandad. The manager and her team
were a pleasure to deal with, and I could not have asked for anything better for my grandad.

Review from Amanda B (Niece of Resident) published on 10 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with the care my uncle received at this 'home'. In fact, I have moved him!
His glasses were “ misplaced” last December - I wasn't informed. The wristwatch box was packed with no watch inside. Beard trimmer was also missing, just an empty box, when mentioned to staff
- complete couldn't care less attitude. I didn’t get a chance to cancel the S.O. Still awaiting the refund 30 days later.
New home have made a safeguarding referral to Social Services as in their opinion he had been neglected and appeared dishevelled. Social Services are currently looking into this! Even though Sutton Court have a minibus they refused to transfer my uncle, even though he had paid for a further three days!
Glad he is now getting the care he deserves.
He paid to be there!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother went into Sutton Court for rehab after breaking both wrists. As a family, we did not want her to go into a care home and were keen to get her back home as soon as possible. However, her stay was made positive due to the care and understanding shown by all the staff. We visited every day and
were also made to feel come and observed excellent practice by everyone involved in caring for my mother. Thank you.

All the staff were supportive in the physical and mental realms. Nothing was too much trouble and they were all cheerful. I made a lot of friends during my seven weeks there. The personal attention I was afforded was fantastic down to the fact that I did not eat meat and care was taken to ensure my
meals were meat-free.

What a great care home! All the staff are welcoming and friendly and provide a lovely place for the residents to live.
I love all the activities - there's something happening all the time to keep the residents entertained and happy.
It's always clean and tidy. It's lovely to see the residents interacting
with the animals, which gives a homely feel.
Thanks to all the lovely staff who work hard to make this happen.

I have had exceptional care, and I am sorry to leave because I have made many friends with the residents. I have probably put on two stone because of the delicious food, so need to go home to get it off. Can't thank the staff enough for their care and compassion.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.395)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.395) out of 10 for Sutton Court Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.395 for Sutton Court Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (30 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 299 Ratings = 4.395
  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 Sutton Court Residential Home is based on 22 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 22 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.
