My mum came to Barchester Spen Court Care Home for respite following a fall at home. From the minute my mum went into Spen Court, we were treated with respect and compassion. My mum is still in Spen Court but still hoping to return to her own home. The staff there are amazing, they work together very
professionally but also as one, making visiting and the stay for Mum a welcoming experience. Well done to everyone who works at the home, I wouldn't change the staff and care at all. Fantastic teamwork.

All staff members are hardworking and deserve a massive pay rise for what they have to put up with. The costs for the home/care are so very high that you charge but you pay the staff as little as possible. Reward your staff better, you wouldn't do the job yourself.

Staff are very friendly and have made the transition for not only my grandma but us, as a family, simple and easy. They have welcomed us all!
Could not ask for better members of staff to care for my grandma, they cannot do enough. They deserve a pay rise. They care for all residents like family members
rather than just part of their job. I enjoy coming to the care home. Cannot thank them enough! The staff are an asset to Barchester and make this care home.

My mum went into Barchester Spen Court Care Home for one week of respite care. We chose it because of the location and having a visit, it seemed like the perfect fit however during her stay, though she was well fed and generally cared for, she hadn't been showered other than by my sister-in-law and
was in the same clothes for five days which she appeared to have slept in. Once here, I discovered she had no underwear on. Whilst I appreciate she can't be made to do things, I do believe some encouragement is needed.

I am very impressed with Spen Court. The staff are all lovely. Everything is dealt with very professionally. Mum is taking a while to settle in, but the staff are so patient with her. Mum is also being encouraged to use her walking frame, which is great for her. The rooms are lovely, with plenty of
room and storage and a fantastic ensuite tool. All in all, I am happy that Mum is in very safe hands.

What a lovely care home with the best care staff who really care. My aunt settled in from the word go and will definitely be back in the coming weeks for sure.
The new manager couldn’t have been more accommodating and supportive, you can see the dedication and this makes all the difference. Lots of
good food on offer, the chef makes wonderful cakes - there is always one when we stop in the cafe area which is a lovely touch. High-quality care, all staff are warm and welcoming and the home is lovely and clean. Couldn’t ask for more.

Cannot praise them enough.

The first thing I must say is, what a fantastic receptionist you have at Spen Court. She's warm, welcoming and very helpful in every way. She always goes the extra mile for you. She's always watching what's going on whilst doing her own work. My dad is blind and I find that sometimes the carers forget
this e.g the hot weather they have had, they had jugs of juice and cups but my dad cannot see where they are and on many occasions, Dad has not got a drink. When we get him one he drinks it in one go because he's thirsty. Please look into it. Not good enough.

My step-mum has been resident for six months and has always been well cared for by carers and staff who are warm, caring and respectful. Nothing is too much trouble with regards to my step-mums’ requirements. She is encouraged to interact with other residents and take part in daily activities. She has
been happy and content since moving into Spen Court and has chosen to stay long term and not return to her home with a care package. I am confident in the care provided and always made to feel very welcome when I visit.

When my wife and I first had a look around Spen Court.
We were absolutely blown away by what we saw.
Mum is happy there and the staff can't do enough for each resident.
Spen court is clean, tidy and always well presented.
Would highly recommend Spen court to anyone.

Review from Sally H (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father moved into Spen Court earlier this year after he was finding it increasingly harder to look after himself at home.
As a family, we were made to feel immediately welcome by the staff. My sister and I both live some distance from Spen Court so therefore telephone frequently to get news about
Dad. Our telephone calls are always dealt with, with friendliness and efficiency. Nothing is ever too much trouble.
We are happy with Dad's personal care. He has been able to personalise his room with pictures and ornaments which have helped him feel settled.
The accommodation is of a high standard.
The daily menus are varied but unfortunately, the food is not always to his taste. Some meals he has difficulty eating as he best manages a soft diet.

My dad originally came to Spen Court for respite and was converted to a permanent resident. The home was lovely as were the people. They always listened to any problems and acted where necessary. Dad was much happier when he moved rooms. He enjoyed lovely food and was persuaded to join activities whilst
he was a resident. Sadly he unexpectedly passed in the home shortly after and I couldn't praise the staff more for how it was handled. They were so caring about organising things and dealing with family that night.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was admitted to Spen Court in January 2021 after hospital admission for Covid. Totally brilliant care at a difficult time. Mum soon gained the two stone she had lost due to the nutritious food. Initially, very difficult as Mum just wanted to go home! The manager and staff were very supportive, going
to great lengths to arrange an overnight stay, and when that wasn't successful, we organised an assisted living apartment. Mum decided a few days before moving in that she needed the care and security that she received at Spen Court. The relief for the family was enormous, and Mum has settled brilliantly, making lots of friends and enjoying our time together. The support and help we have received with recent hospital appointments and stoma products have been so professional and reassuring for both Mum and myself.

My husband went into Spen Court from hospital one year ago. It was a challenging time because of Covid, I was not able to visit for a few weeks. The staff were excellent, keeping me informed as to how he was settling. When I was able to visit, I was amazed to see how calm, settled and content he was.
I asked him if he was happy, he gave me a big smile and said yes. Spen Court is a lovely home, always a friendly welcome from all staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Thank you all for the excellent care.

The home is a very friendly and kind environment. All the staff know my dad very well and treat him with the greatest care and respect. They will always tell me of any problems and will listen and act on any concerns I may have. They always have time to listen to me and are there for me as much as for

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Barchester Spen Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.898 for Barchester Spen Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (275 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 304 Ratings = 4.898
  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 Barchester Spen Court Care Home is based on 26 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 26 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.
