Review from Jim C (Husband of Resident) published on 12 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Wife has now been in the home for several months, and I visit her on a daily basis generally twice a day which has given me the opportunity to see the broad spectrum of all of the activities to which I have given 5 stars,
In reality some of these deserve 5 plus, given the attention of detail by
all members of staff to their various operational functions in looking after the residents in their care,
Great decor, and as clean as a whistle quite outstanding,
I could not wish to have my dear Wife in any better location than this, it is superb from top to bottom,
When my time ever comes for residential care this is where I want to be, this would be my advice to anyone being in that position in their life, simply nothing better.

My grandad has been a resident for 3 years now and what can I say he loves the place! All the staff go up and beyond for all the residents and making fun activities for them to do. Every day they is something planned of its ice creams in the garden on a nice day to art and crafts morning, quizzes and
singers coming in to have a dance along. I would highly recommend I couldn't be happier with his care and couldn't tank the staff enough.

Review from James G (Son of Resident) published on 12 May 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After several hospital stays Mum was discharged but her parkinsons and dementia meant it was no longer safe for her to be at home by herself. The hospital social worker was at pains to find mum somewhere "a bit nicer" and so Mum landed at Collingwood Court, initially for respite and recovery. This has
subsequently become a long term placement due largely to the patience, respect and kindness exhibited by the staff. There is always something going on and Mum has gone from being isolated to being surrounded by people. She can and more and more frequently does join in whether its with exercise in the garden, musical performances, arts and crafts or trips out in the minibus. Every time I visit I hear about the latest event thats been organised, or the lovely lunch shes had! Nobody wants to put their loved ones into care but it helps every time I visit I walk into a clean, safe, relaxed and happy atmosphere (and to my mothers delight her beloved dog can visit too)

In 2022 I brought both mam and dad to Collingwood court they went out their way to get rooms next to eachother which was amazing as they'd been married 60 years. They have both made so many friend with other residents and staff. We sadly lost mam last year due to cancer during mam's final days the
Management arrange a room and meals for 10 days allowing both me and my daughter to spend as much time with mam as possible. Due to dad having dementia we discussed with management and staff how we could help dad without causing anxiety to dad, they have all gone beyond our hopes of making dad happy and comfortable without mam, he loves to dance, goes to the barbers, day trips, they even arranged for his friends from the Life Brigade to come for lunch they all turned up in full uniform absolutely amazing thank you all for the amazing life your giving dad xx

Staff are very caring and supportive towards the residents and go out of their way to make mam's stay at home as happy and fulfilled as possible. Staff even take mam to communion every month. Collingwood Court arrange lunches for families to attend for mothers day, Easter etc and they put on an afternoon
tea for mam's birthday when the family came in to see her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Collingwood Court 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.893 for Collingwood Court is calculated as follows: ( (386 Excellents x 5) + (40 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 429 Ratings = 4.893
  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 Collingwood Court is based on 36 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 36 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I chose to work for Care UK because of its strong reputation for delivering high-quality, person-centred care and its commitment to continually improving standards across its homes.


To do my role well, I believe it’s vital to balance compassion with strong leadership and resilience. Organisation, adaptability, communication and emotional intelligence are all key to managing a busy home and supporting residents and colleagues.


I hold NVQ Levels 2 and 3, my FDM, and I’m currently completing my Level 5 and FHM qualifications. I’ve worked my way up from an agency carer to Home Manager in just five years which is something I’m incredibly proud of. Before taking on my current role, I worked as a Deputy Manager.


One of my favourite parts of the day is chatting with residents and hearing their wonderful life stories. There’s so much we can learn from the older generation. I feel proud every day to see the positive difference our care makes and to watch my team grow in confidence and skill.


Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and friends.
