I visited the residential home for the first time in May of this year and found that the experience was extremely pleasant. The premises were exceptionally clean, and the facilities were delightful. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I left the home feeling uplifted by the knowledge that
all of the residents were in a comfortable, friendly and safe environment. I can thoroughly recommend!

My mum has been a resident of Sutton Lodge for the past two months. I cannot praise the staff enough. They are all so hardworking! Nothing is ever too much trouble; always making sure Mum has everything she needs. They really do care. She has a permanent smile on her face. Every single one of them goes
above and beyond. I would recommend this care home to anyone. I am so grateful for all you do. Mum is the happiest I have seen her for years - she calls it her "happy home".

My dad's care was excellent, and each and every carer looked after him like he was a friend or family. They were very attentive and accommodating, as far as Covid-19 rules would allow.

With a beautifully clean environment, which is warm, comfortable and welcoming, Sutton Court is an excellent example of quality care for vulnerable people. The residents have home-cooked meals and activities are arranged for them, including gardening and craft afternoon. Relatives are welcomed and kept
informed of their family members well being. There are beautiful outdoor areas where residents can sit and enjoy the sunshine.

Mum moved to be closer to us in Ashfield in November 2020 shortly afterwards we were in lockdown. However, due to the friendly staff and carers at Sutton Court, she settled in well, loves all the activities, and the home the management went out of their way, even letting her adopt a kitten. The whole
family are delighted she is being looked after so well. The food is brilliant she tells us, and they have everything they could ever want.

Absolutely first class in every respect. Fantastic facilities and the staff are very, very welcoming. Couldn’t have chosen a better care home for my mum, even if we had built a home from scratch. Many thanks to the receptionist and the manager for the great service. I highly recommend this home and
highly recommend them for a pay rise. Thank you.

Totally over the moon to have Mum in Sutton Court. She has been treated with complete respect and dignity. Her medical care/treatment has been outstanding in the eleven and a half months she has been under their care. Fantastic staff, they keep me informed of Mum's progress and anything they may be
concerned about. The exceptional staff at Sutton Court, always helpful and polite. 100% happy, and also, Mum is settled and happy as a resident.

Wow, what a lovely review; thank you so much for taking the time to submit it. I know it means a lot to the manager and the staff at the manor. We are all delighted that your mum is so settled.

My mother was an emergency admission from the hospital just before Christmas during the lockdown. The manager was very kind and efficiently liaised with the hospital and social services to effect a quick transfer. Initially, Mother was confused and uncooperative due to her transfer and mental condition
(dementia), and I was very impressed with the caring, kindness and sympathy of all the staff in dealing with her trauma. I am amazed at how quickly she has adapted and settled down and is now very happy there.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is an incredible care home. The staff are excellent in every way, and we, as a family, cannot fault the care given to our Mum.
Mum was discharged to Sutton Court from the hospital, and she spent the last few weeks of her life, happy, comfortable and surrounded by very caring and empathetic staff
who gave the care she required very efficiently and without question. We are so pleased she ended her days in such a loving and friendly environment.
Thank you to every member of staff involved... management, carers, cleaners, cooks, laundry and maintenance staff who all work hard to make the home the brilliant place it is.
Reply from Claire Sharpe, Partner at Sutton Court Residential Home

Hi Carol, we are so sorry for the loss of your Mum, and again send our deepest sympathy.
It's so kind of you to submit this lovely review for all the staff, which we are so grateful to receive.

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.
