My mother arrived for a period of respite after falling numerous times when living independently and being in and out of hospital. After 8 weeks respite, she has decided to stay permanently. She has had no falls since arriving in Collingwood Court, is happier, safer and no longer isolated. Staff have
been welcoming and supportive. My mind is at ease and everyone is happier. Thank you Collingwood!

Mum has been in for just over 2 weeks. She has had 2 falls but has been looked after. This place is excellent except I would say they could do with a few more carers around, especially at meal times as there always have to be 2 carers in the dining room for meals but that leaves a shortage for those
who may need help in their rooms or need the toilet, etc.
Apart from that, all the staff are lovely.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Collingwood CourtThank you for your comments about the care your mother has received so far during her stay at Collingwood Court. Please rest assured that we continually review staffing levels to ensure suites are appropriately staffed, enabling residents to be supported in whatever way they need. This includes particularly busy times at the home, whether it be during mealtimes or events/activities.

This care home is beautiful and the staff have been amazing. Transferred my Mother-in-law here from another care home and the difference is unbelievable. Special thanks to the activities coordinator who was fantastic with helping get my Mother-in-law settled and putting our minds at rest so that she
would be well cared for. Also thanks to the senior Carer who was also amazing. Many thanks.

Review from C L (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 May 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was reluctant to move into a care home but she was 93 and had Dementia. We looked at many care homes in the North Tyneside area and found a couple of homes we thought suitable. We took Mum to Collingwood Court and were met by the very friendly activity coordinator. She showed us around the unit
looking at the room they had available as well as the day room with the other residents and then the dining room. The atmosphere of the whole place was welcoming and friendly. This never changed throughout her stay. Mum said she could live there. We moved her in within the week and during the settling-in period, she was treated with care and compassion. Sadly Mum only had 6 weeks in the care home before she passed away. But during this time she enjoyed the company of the other residents and the care provided by the staff.

Review from Christine V (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum moved into Collingwood Court in December 2023 after a short illness. Prior to this, she had lived alone and been pretty independent with no help in the house. During her time in hospital, we realised there was no way she could go back home.
We are so glad we found Collingwood Court, from our
first visit we as a family were made welcome. The day Mum moved in she was a bit nervous but knew it was the right decision for her. Six weeks in she is part of the fixtures, happily takes part in the busy activity schedule and has made friends both with residents and staff. We have seen such a positive change in her, her mobility will never be what it was and she knows her limitations but she is really happy.
The whole team appear engaged and invested in what they do regardless of role, good, strong, management shines through. I can't thank everyone enough for being there for Mum and giving us as a family peace of mind.

My husband has been in this care home since Febraury 2021 and has had the best of care. The manager and staff are extremely caring. My husband has Alzheimer's and very demanding. The staff go far beyond their call of duty, they are so caring and cheerful and the ambience in the home is friendly and
happy. Cannot fault anything at all.
Staff, manager, food - all excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A change in management and an increase in permanent staff (as opposed to agency) has led to a marked improvement towards the running of Collingwood Court. The staff appear happy with the current environment and positive changes that have been made both internally and in resident welfare. There are more
activities and interactions with staff and residents. A new chef has brought a change in menu and a selection. My mother is well cared for, warm, fed and happy.

Review from G D (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Dad came to Collingwood Court on respite care via a hospital Social Worker. We were very worried about him as we had cared for him at home. The manager was wonderful, putting out mids at rest and assured us her door was always open, and it was, with a welcoming smile. Whatever our concerns were, big
or small, she had plenty of time for us, and we never felt unwelcome or a nuisance. Normal practice is to have a care plan meeting when a resident becomes permanent, but due to our concern, the manager gave us an early meeting and explained everything clearly. I must also say all the staff show unlimited care and compassion for the residents and us as family members. Whilst Dad has been here, we have been invited to dine with him, and the food has been delicious. I have already told my friends how lovely it is here.

I was visiting a friend with my mum. We were in a joint community area. I witnessed excellent care given to several service users. The staff had a great sense of humour but was extremely caring whilst making sure the other service users and visitors were also being attended to. I also witnessed fabulous
care delivered by all staff I saw. It is an extremely difficult job given in the best possible way by the staff with dignity and patience.

Mum was a resident at Collingwood Court for some 4 years, the care home was excellent. From the time of looking to move mum right until her death, the staff went above and beyond and nothing was too much for them. They made us always feel welcome. It was clean, tidy and everyone was pleasant. The food
was excellent, care of mum superb, how do you thank a caring team. They work their hardest during covid and got us all through. At the end the staff made us feel so special, the care was amazing for mum. Thank you so much

My Mum has been a resident in Collingwood Court since September and sadly became quite unwell 2 weeks ago. The care, compassion, dignity and respect that has been shown to not just her but me as well during a very difficult time was second to none. It truly is a 'home' and we, as a family couldn't ask
for better for my Mam. I believe that the excellent care she has received has in no doubt contributed to her getting better!
All the staff have been amazing, but I just wanted to specially mention 5 members of staff in particular who all took the time to make sure I was ok too, providing food, tea and a listening ear, it really meant a lot. However, I have to say though the manager is the heart of the home, which is a big reason why the home has such a lovely warm, caring atmosphere.

My mam has been a resident for 3 years at Collingwood Court. The staff have always been caring and supportive but even more absolutely amazing during the Covid-19 crisis. They have gone above and beyond their roles to ensure we get phone calls to speak to mum and ring us to let us know she's ok. The
manager and admin lady are always cheerful and absolute stars. I'm not sure how we would have managed during this stressful time without them. My sister and I are incredibly grateful for the care my mum receives on a daily basis.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.922)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.922) 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 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.922 for Collingwood Court is calculated as follows: ( (506 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 549 Ratings = 4.922
  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 46 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 46 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.
