I initially chose Sutton Court for short term respite care for my Mum who has Alzheimer's and have been totally satisfied with every aspect of her care. She now attends Day Care once a week which she loves. All the staff I've dealt with have been pleasant and professional at all times. The surroundings
are clean and well appointed and I have no hesitation in recommending Sutton Court to others.

I attend roughly monthly for daycare.....I chat to the other residents, have my hair done and stay for meals. The communal areas are well furnished. The hairdressers are very well equipped and the hairdresser is lovely. I enjoy sitting in the pool lounge watching the swim lessons and looking out
over the courtyard. It's a very friendly homely environment whilst providing a high-quality environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mam was transferred to Sutton Court in August 2916 after her previous home was closed down. From that time she has been very happy, although she has dementia she accepts all the carers and staff as her friends, they have a bit of banter with her and has always get a smile. She had a little fall a
few weeks ago and went to hospital and the staff showed great concern for her and were happy to see her back after a long day at A & E.
I think it is a really welcoming place and have no worries about her being there.

The carers were very obliging and all other staff are very helpful. Bedrooms cleaned every day as I have a skin complaint and my room was vacuumed every day.
Breakfast you had an excellent choice of cereals and cooked breakfast. Choices at dinner and 2 at tea time.

I like living here it's a lovely place everything is done for me. If I want anything I have only have to ask and it's there. The staff are very kind to me and care for me well. I like my bedroom it's nice and bright and clean everyday. My clothes are kept nice and clean and come from the laundry daily.

Very positive experience at Sutton Court, care staff very pleasant and helpful. Seniors and manager always willing to help and advise us. OT, physio and diabetic team also worked hard to get my mum mobile again. Bit of a slow start over new year period but great effort when normal hours returned to.
I am recommending this. Thank you

Not enough staff for number of people in, people that are paying are giving way to the hospital patients coming in or respite. A lot of sensible people are having to mix with dementia people instead of separate toilets. Regular residents have two seats instead of keeping same places where they know
each other.
Reply from Emily Smith, Home Manager at Sutton Court Residential Home

I was very disappointed and saddened to see this review from one of our residents. We have more than adequate staff in the home at all times.
Although the home accepts both NHS and privately funded residents, we do not accept residents with advanced stages of dementia in order to ensure that residents have a stimulating environment with like minded people.
Residents who have a preferred seat in the dining room are reserved the same seat every day if they like too.

There is not enough room in the dining room which causes a lot of unpleasantness and anger. This is not a good atmosphere for eating our meals.
Reply from Emily Smith, Home Manager at Sutton Court Residential Home

I was very disappointed to receive this opinion from one of our residents. Our dining room has more than enough seating for all residents and residents are reserved a favourite seat on a daily basis if requested. Steps will be made to ensure that Barbara feels more comfortable during meal times.

My wife is very happy here, is well cared for and I have no worries about her care. I wish the two main rooms were bigger because they are overcrowded at meals and lounge. Apart from that I am very satisfied with the home and it's management.

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.
