Review from Oliver E (Friend of Resident) published on 27 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Turned up today to visit my friend who is a resident at the home. I was welcomed to the home by the reception team who offered refreshments on my arrival.
My friend then got brought down to me in the bistro area where we were both invited to join in with the quiz which was about to start in an adjoining
room.
To my amazement the quiz was really good fun and all the residents there were obviously having a really good afternoon and were waited on with nothing being too much trouble.
I then took my friend back up to his room which was a lovely room nice, bright, clean and fresh. Every member of staff who we passed in the corridor said hello and we were again asked if I would like any drinks or snacks from a lady with a really impressive tea trolly.
The visit to this home completely astonished me and my opinions on the card home industry.
Absolutely amazing place.

Our experience has been totally positive. Staff to staff-to-resident ratio is high. There is a great diversity of carers who all show kindness, love and interest. The food is homemade and excellent. The nursing staff are knowledgeable and experienced. The administration is not complicated, and it is
clear. The entertainment is relevant to the residents.

Review from K B (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father is a resident at Hastings Court. I have always been a bit dubious of care homes as they often have a bad reputation. However, Hastings Court far from exceeded our expectations!! I wouldn't really call it a care home, more of a hotel. Plush with extremely friendly and helpful staff who can't
do enough for their residents and visitors.
My father settled in extremely well and with all of the entertainment and activities on offer he often doesn't want to leave for a day out or is keen to get back when he does.
I can't recommend this care home enough. One which has won many awards and now I understand why.
It's never an easy decision to make when you decide a care home is needed for a relative but Hastings Court goes above and beyond on a daily basis and we are happy we chose well.

Excellent care home. I highly recommend. My mum has been a resident at Hastings Court for a year and a half now. During this time, all of the staff have gone above and beyond with all aspects of her care. She is treated with respect and dignity at all times, and nothing is too much trouble.
The entertainment
is superb, and a lot of effort goes into making each day a happy one from the lifestyles team.
The manager and maintenance team have made sure that my mum's room is a home from home, which is lovely and much appreciated. I am made to feel very welcome with every visit I make to see my mum and by all the staff! Thank you!

I have been visiting Hastings Court for some time now and the care and attention given to all their residents are exemplary. Every member of staff is cheerful and no request appears to be too much trouble and is delivered with a smile.
On entering the home I have always been greeted warmly and feel
my friends are in the best place to be looked after.
Many thanks.

This is a truly outstanding home. Having dealt with two other care homes and also an in home care firm previously, Hastings Court knocks socks off them. It is very clear that they are there to provide what they advertise, unlike previous people we have dealt with and that is priceless. We have two family
friends as residents and the peace of mind is immense. We know that they are getting all the care they need and the staff could not be nicer. They go above and beyond. I cannot recommend Hastings Court highly enough. If you want your loved ones to be given the care and attention they deserve then look no further.

We are delighted with the care at Hastings Court. The staff are all cheerful, friendly, positive and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. My mother recently celebrated her 98th birthday and we had a small family tea party. We had exclusive use of the entertainment room for this. It was beautifully
prepared with cloths, place settings, flowers, balloons, and full afternoon tea. There was a cake with mum's name on it and we could stay as long as we liked! Thanks especially to three members of the team for this. Mum has improved since coming here.

My mother was made welcome from the moment she arrived. Whilst her health was deteriorating rapidly, the staff made every effort to keep her comfortable. Although her stay at Hastings Court was only a short one. I cannot fault the care and attention of the staff, right up to her passing.

Review from A C (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hastings Court offered wonderful care to Gran for the last seven years of her life. Living with dementia, her memory was limited but she still wanted to have a purpose in life. She was supported to play her role in the home, often helping to serve refreshments, folding towels and sporting her own 'trolley
dolly' badge in recognition of her stints on the sweet trolley! Gran lived a great life at Hastings Court, making friends and being actively involved in all the many social activities. She felt safe, valued and loved.
In her final days, the wonderful staff supported us as her family as much as they did Gran, showing care and ensuring she lived those final days with dignity. The care extended from staff in the hospitality and facilities teams, as much as it did from care and nursing staff. Thank you so much.

If only my uncle had come to live here earlier his life would have been so much better. I can't believe a care home can be so beautiful with fabulous, thoughtful, kind staff. It feels like a family to him and myself.
No worries knowing she is so happy and safe. Thank you Hastings Court and all the

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Hastings Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 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 4.954 for Hastings Court is calculated as follows: ( (293 Excellents x 5) + (14 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 307 Ratings = 4.954
  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 Hastings Court 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, 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.

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2015

My first job in the care sector started 30 years ago and despite exploring other career choices I have always returned to doing what I love the most. I have been part of the Hastings Court family since 2015 and I feel extremely proud to be a member of the management team in such a fabulous home.


I feel incredibly passionate about our residents receiving the best possible care during their time with us and all of our team members go above and beyond every day to ensure that this happens.


Seeing our residents doing the things that they love is such a treat for us all, from days out fishing, trips to the theatre or just a walk around the Old Town browsing through the antique shops, it’s sometimes the little things that count the most.
