Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother became resident at Heywood Court from August 2015 and I as her POA and daughter have found staff pleasant and extremely helpful at all times. As I am not local to the care home the staff always keep me informed. My mother is very well looked after there. My only concern would be the toilet
is at a low height and not very suitable for the very elderly and frail. Otherwise the care home is extremely good.

I am happy with the care at Heywood Court. The home is a very good standard. The staff do an excellent job. Very friendly and helpful, music playing throughout the day, tea, coffee, juices and cakes in the afternoon before evening meal, all are excellent turned out, clean no smells, everybody happy.
I would recommend this care home to everybody. Lots of activities, parties, Christmas, birthday parties, dancing when they bring entertainment in everybody joins in. Most of all my mum is happy.

Review from Ian T (Son of Resident) published on 22 December 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father is kept very safely within the care home. He has a comfortable spacious room with all required facilities. The quality of the food is excellent. The staff are very friendly, approachable and helpful. They are good at informing me if there has been an incident with my Dad or if he has had an
accident or become ill.
The care home could provide a lot more stimulating activities and my father is often left sitting doing nothing. Also, in the 12 months that my father has been a resident he has lost a lot of personal property including glasses, hearing aids and clothing.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.439)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.439) out of 10 for Heywood Court Care 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 17 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 4.439 for Heywood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (137 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 198 Ratings = 4.439
  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 Heywood 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, 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.
