Royal Court is friendly, welcoming and care is excellent. The staff are all amazing with residents and their families. The manager is always available and approachable. Lots of activities and always on social media for other family members to see. I can't recommend this place enough.

Royal court was fantastic always through the process of transitioning my mother in law to them for full time care , the process has been long and at times stressful, but thanks to the management staff , carers and everyone else included in the process , I honestly can't thank them enough. Without there
help and support I can't imagine how much harder the process could have been .
Thank you

I recently visited the home and I had a wonderful experience. I was made to feel incredibly welcome by the staff who were really polite. My friend who loves movies told me she just watched one her favourites not long ago and it was nice to share some stories about it. I had a good catch up with my friend.
Overall, it was a delightful visit and I truly appreciate the care and attention shown to both residents and visitors.

Since my mother has been a resident at Royal Court she has been looked after and cared for very well. Since the new management and staff have been in position, the standards throughout have improved dramatically.
The atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming.
Everyone is approachable, and hardworking.

I would recommend this care home. The home itself is clean and modern a nice place for my mum to live in. Her room is always clean and tidy. Staff are always helpful and friendly they make you feel at home when you visit. Mum says she enjoys the food as it;s the same meals that she used to cook herself.

My nan has been at Royal Court for 2 years and I have always found her happy. Since the new management and staff have come in I have found that things have improved and I feel as though she has a good relationship with the staff who look after her. There are different activities that they do that she
sometimes get involved in. If she needs any help with anything there is always someone there to help her.

Review from Cherrelle A (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 20 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
A family member was placed in this care home and didn't get any of his needs met, there were a lot of hygiene issues which had a massive impact on his health and mental health. There was no care or understanding regarding his needs and support. At times some carers even had to be prompted to clean him
as he had been left weeks without a shower and also a lot of times was left in his own excrement. There were no activities carried out during the 3 months he was in this care home except for one at Christmas. There were some carers who were caring and did try their best but there were a few who didn't care and just left the residents and didn't really make much effort with any of the residents. I would not recommend this home at all.
Reply from David Anyakwo, Operations Director at Royal Court Care Home

Review from Carole T (Partner of Resident) published on 20 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
1st of all I noticed my partner's feet really bad, which we took photographs of because they looked really bad and unclean. We told staff about this who didn't seem professional about it and left us to clean him down. I asked when he last had a shower and in the 4 weeks he'd spent there by that time.
He had not been showered. After this incident, the carers stepped up and my partner was looking cleaner, his feet were also healing as we were seeing to them daily. This was detrimental to my partner's health to move him from pillow to post. I decided to let this ride as the carers had stepped up a lot. However, after reviews had gone out he was starting to be neglected badly. There were wet and messed up clothes just slung in his wardrobe, his room stunk vile and he was left raging and confused. This has had a massive impact on his health because since leaving he has improved dramatically and the staff at his new home love the kind gentle man he is.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The more experienced staff who have been there a long time are absolutely wonderful, so caring, very approachable and friendly to the family. The only problems I have with Royal Court is not always answering the phone or the door in a timely manner. The only other thing is the lack of activities to
keep residents' minds active and a lack of any type of physical activity (armchair exercises for example). I would like to be able to make a drink like we used to be able to do.

I really cannot fault Royal Court, my mum has been in there for the last 4 weeks and just come home this afternoon. The management and staff are so knowledgeable about the residents and are extremely friendly and accommodating. On visiting my mum, I was always made to feel welcome. I was allowed to
take my mum out at weekends with no restrictions on times etc. The food and activities are also very good.
If my mum has to go in a home full time, I would choose Royal Court as would she. I really appreciate what a tough job the staff do, I certainly couldn't do it and yet they all do it with such good humour and care.

My dad was referred to Royal Court Care Home after a fall for respite care in March 2023. The staff at the home were and are brilliant, they looked after him like he was their own father. I have nothing but admiration for them and for all they do. Sadly my dad passed away in the home on 2 May 2023 and
the night staff on duty looked after myself and my family members.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been in the home for a couple of years now and on every visit the staff are always happy and willing to help. The visiting area is always clean and bright which makes the visit better as I have 2 children that I bring with me to visit. I think the only thing that is missing is an open courtyard
so family members could sit in the garden with their relative on nice days and get some fresh air and a change of scenery. Once Mum accepted that Royal Court was now her home she settled in well and appears much happier. She is clean and well cared for. Mum used to fall a lot but as a family we have peace of mind that should this happen the staff are there 24/7 to help and care for her which is a big relief.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.240)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.240) out of 10 for Royal Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 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 14 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 4.240 for Royal Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (23 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 200 Ratings = 4.24
  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 Royal Court Care Home is based on 14 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
