My relations have resided at Ingersley care home for the last four years and are very happy. The staff are kind and caring and any questions are answered promptly.
Their varying needs are met and both continue to do well.

So pleased that we convinced our mum to give up her home of 76 years to live at Ingersley Court. The management team are really good, also the care team. Mum loves the food and has settled in well.

Every time I go into Ingersley court, every member of staff I see and speak to, are very polite, courteous, and smiling. There are staff on all floors and in different areas. The Manager knows exactly what's happening in the home regarding all the residents, and what their needs are. From personal experience,
she has recognised where support and structure have improved my loved ones time at the home. I would have no hesitation recommending Ingersley Court to others.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are really friendly and helpful, they regularly come round with drinks and biscuits, they also interact with residents and do things to keep residents stimulated, like gentle seat exercises, or catching a ball from a seated position, they encourage residents to participate but it is on the
residents terms. There is a lovely atmosphere in the building. All staff are approachable if there are any questions, there is plenty of room to wander around the building freely which I really like, the windows let in a lot of natural light, the location is lovely there are some amazing views & the setting feels semi rural. The building is very secure, you need a member of staff to let you in or out of the entrance. There is an outdoor area where residents and their loved ones can sit, it is enclosed, making it safe and secure. The rooms are kept clean, bedding is changed regularly, I feel good knowing that mum is safe, secure and surrounded by kind and caring staff.

Mum has recently moved itno Ingersley Court as a resident. From the initial meeting staff have been very friendly, open & transparent. Mum has settled well and Ingersley Court have communicated with us on her progress and keeping me updated on any medical issues. The care home is slightly dated but
the staff have been amazing which is the priority and this comes from the management down.

From the first time I visited the care home I was made welcome by the manger who is a very genuine and warm and friendly person. She sets the atmosphere of the place and makes it a "Home" not a "Care Home" in its feel. She is an absolute asset to the place. The whole team provided and excellent level
of care which manged to stay one step ahead even when proving end of life care. All of the staff worked together to provide support all of us not just the residents are forever grateful to the whole team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Ingersley Court has proved an excellent choice of local care provider for both our parents, despite their very different needs. They were accommodated in adjoining rooms, which helped support their transition from a much-loved family home. The quality of care is excellent at every level, from the carers,
the cleaners, kitchen and laundry staff, the maintenance team and, of course, all the management. Everyone is friendly, caring and willing to go the extra mile. The home were compassionate with our dad (and the wider family) when our mum died in hospital this summer. Dad considers the staff as friends: he was delighted when the chef made him a gorgeous birthday cake, and he rates all the food very highly. He joins in with suitable activities but is also enjoys his private time and privacy, such decisions are always respected. Staff are diligent in keeping us informed re medical issues and appointments. Work has started on the new garden - it will be a wonderful additional facility.

Review from R A (Daughter of Resident) published on 16 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our parents moved to Ingersley Court in April 2024, as they were no longer managing safely in their own home. It was a huge upheaval for them to leave their house in Bollington where they'd lived happily for 27 years. Collectively, as a family, I think we were all nervous about the move! However, we
could not have wished for a better placement for them, as Ingersley Court truly offers that 'home from home', experience. All staff are incredible! They have a genuine warmth and curiosity towards their residents and nothing is too much trouble. In addition, they are also highly skilled and knowledgeable at what they do. When our mum sadly passed away in July 2024, Ingersley Court were amazingly supportive to our family. For this we will always be extremely grateful. We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the Home Manager and team for continuing to care for our dad. It's been a tough few months, but we genuinely believe, we couldn't have done it without you! Thank you.

After 3 periods of respite care, we decided, when it became clear that our mother needed full time care, that Ingersley Court was the best place for her. The home is clean, well managed and the food is very good. The staff are always so warm, friendly and caring, to the families as well as the residents,
and they encourage Mum to take part in many activities. She seems very happy after her first full month as a resident and I am confident that she is safe and well cared for at all times.

Review from Steve P (Nephew of Resident) published on 12 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My last remaining auntie has been a resident of Ingersley Court for over five years, and the dementia she came in with has continued to progress. I did regularly take my mother to see her sister, and in the many times we visited over the years, the staff always seemed to be caring and diligent and the
home itself seemed to be clean and well run. As a result she has been happy and in relatively good spirits (aside from the normal symptoms and frustrations of dementia). The staff have always showed rapport and ability with her and she reacts well to them and other residents. Sadly my mother passed in August following a stroke last year, so ever since, I've visited when I can, my auntie's dementia means she doesn't realise she's the last of the siblings, or that she also lost her son recently. She's my auntie and I love her - so I will keep going - and keep thanking the staff at Ingersley.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister had worked hard to arrange the best care she could for our father, who was experiencing increased difficulties with mobility and daily care. Both from the accounts of my stepmum and sister and from my own experience, the care my dad received while here was second to none. The staff's attitude
was uniformly welcoming and friendly, and the attention to my dad's needs was thorough and professional. All my family commented on the helpfulness of the staff, and their willingness to contact us regarding anything they felt we needed to know. As my dad's needs increased, the staff arranged for him to be given a side room with an air-flow mattress, which greatly helped his comfort as his swallowing had become more difficult. Every effort was made to ensure he was well looked after, and his relatives were treated as human beings and included in his care wherever possible. I would like to express my deepest thanks and praise for such quality care at such a time in my dad's life.

My only quibble is that she sometimes has to wait a long time to be taken to the toilet due to her lack of mobility.

Throughout my cousin's stay at Ingerslet Court, I felt confident that she was in good, caring hands. The manager has a warm and friendly personality, which sets the tone for the rest of the staff, who are always willing to help. Any requests or problems received prompt attention. The decor in the rooms
was attractive, and the food, from all accounts, was good. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

My mum settled into Ingersley Court Care Home really quickly. The staff are all very kind and patient and approachable. I am always greeted with a smile and the carers always know where my mum is and tell me what has been happening and any activities Mum has taken part in. The atmosphere in the home

My dad has been at Ingersley for just over two months. It was a big move for him, and he was reluctant to go at the beginning. However, he has settled in so well thanks to the amazing care and kindness of all the staff. The staff have gone out of their way to get to know Dad and engage in lovely chats
with him every day, often chatting about his favourite old pastime and profession, which he is still able to talk about despite his Alzheimer's. I am so happy we chose Ingersley. Such a lovely setting, with great meals, super stimulating activities and great personal care. All that we could ask for. Thank you.

My wife has been in Ingersley Court Care Home since 6th March 2023 and I have been impressed by the care she has been given and some of the activities she has taken part in. She has memory problems but can still remember quite a lot of things.
I have been impressed by the staff I have met and my wife
says the food is good. The only thing she does not like is being unable to lock her room door when she is in the lounge etc. She is fearful since things could be stolen.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.705) out of 10 for Ingersley Court 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.705 for Ingersley Court is calculated as follows: ( (155 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 210 Ratings = 4.705
  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 Ingersley Court is based on 18 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 18 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.
