Staff are so kind and helpful - from the very beginning of the process. They have helped to settle my mother in. Although it is very early days, I am very happy with Silk Court. All staff from admin and reception to team leaders have all been kind and supportive.

Staff I have met and spoken with are caring, hard-working, and compassionate. This was the first care home I found for my mum where I felt they would take genuinely good care of her, as several of the staff are clearly experienced with long careers in care behind them already. The building is well-staffed,
the protected meal times are a sensible idea, and the rooms seem to be in good condition. All of my questions and requests are being met and resolved, and the management have been very accommodating.

I just moved my mum into Silk Court this month. The process whilst stressful for the family was made easier by the kindness and organization of the Silk Court staff. Mum has been there a few weeks and seems to be settling in really well.

My family and I are incredibly grateful for the care and kindness shown at Silk Court Bethnal Green. One of our close relatives has been living here for some time, and it gives us great peace of mind to know they are safe, happy, and truly cared for.
The staff are always attentive, patient, and compassionate
- they treat residents with genuine respect and warmth. It's clear they take the time to build real relationships and go the extra mile to make everyone feel comfortable and supported.
The home itself is always clean, bright, and welcoming. There's a lovely, calm atmosphere throughout, and we can see that every effort is made to create a positive environment.
Knowing our loved one with dementia is in such good hands means the world to us. We couldn't be more grateful.

Silk Court has provided consistently great care to my Mum who have been there for over 2 years. They are closely focused on her changing support needs and work hard to get the right things in place. The communication is great - I'm always kept updated and feel very welcome to ask for more information.
The staff are warm and welcoming and my Mum enjoys being at Silk Court and is clearly happy there.

Since my mother moved into Silk Court in January 2025, I have been very happy with the standard of care provided to her. The place is clean and tidy, spacious and warm. The staff communicate well and let me know if there are any concerns. Mum had two (brief) A&E admissions, which they instigated as
per their policies. My Mum seems to have settled in well and this is so important to me for peace of mind. On check out they also ask if you would feel comfortable raising any safeguarding issues, which is an essential question. I am really happy to have found Silk Court, it was the last place of 12 that I looked at. I was honestly beginning to give up hope. But, as soon as I went to visit I knew it was the right place due to the many positive reviews that I read. Those reviews have proved accurate.

My wife is now in the last stages of Alzheimer's disease and needs a lot of attention. But the staff at Silk Court have been amazingly caring towards my wife, treating her with kindness and patience. I am always kept very well informed of my wife's care. I visit the home often and at various times but
I am always made welcome and feel I am never in the way. I don't know about activities as my poor wife is now no longer able to participate.

My brother has recently been a resident at Silk Court and so far can only give praise for the staff's care and dedicated support given to my brother. The staff in my opinion are kind, patient and very understanding to both the residents and the family. They have taken the time and effort to answer any
questions we have had. Also, there are high standards of cleanliness and hygiene. They are well organised with regular meal times, menus and routines. The outdoor space is secure but well-kept and has a cheerful outlook. We attended a BBQ in summer with excellent food, singers and fun. My brother has settled and feels very comfortable and content. Thank you Silk Court.

My Mum has been a resident at Silk Court for 9 months. Since being there my Mum has significantly improved. The staff treat my Mum with kindness and respect. My Mum is always clean and well-dressed when I visit. Her room and communal areas are always clean and maintained well. Mum has never been so
well-fed! The variety of food and drink is good, as are the portion sizes. There's always plenty of cake!
Mum and Dad recently celebrated their 60th (Diamond) Wedding Anniversary. This coincided with Silk Court's weekly church service. After the service, the local vicar (by prior arrangement) blessed my Mum and Dad's marriage. Silk Court staff went above and beyond to decorate the room, and provide accompanying music and a three-course meal. Even down to providing a veil and flowers for my Mum to 'walk down the aisle'. They thought of everything to replicate my Mum and Dad's Wedding and made Mum and Dad's day so special! I will be forever grateful to everyone involved.

I am so pleased my brother was offered a room at Silk Court. All the staff, nurses and carers do an amazing job.
Since August 24 when my brother was admitted he has come on leaps and bounds. He lived alone, went wandering around London and we became very concerned for his welfare. But now he's made
lots of friends and seems to be enjoying his time at the care home.
I would like to thank the staff for all their time and kindness in taking care of my brother.

She's gone from living alone to having tonnes of company and all the support she needs, we've seen so much improvement in her mental and emotional well-being. Every

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident at Silk Court for over 6 months now and so far myself and my family have been pleased with her care. The home and Mum's room are always clean and well-presented. There are activities for residents during the week; Mum particularly enjoys the 'mother and baby mornings' and
the weekly mass. Mealtimes are also well handled and the food is very good. There are several of the caring staff who are fantastic with Mum; I've real admiration for them as they have one of the toughest jobs out there. My one gripe would be that it's often more difficult to gain entry to the home on weekends and bank holidays when there are fewer staff around. There are certainly good days and bad days for Mum but, as we all know, that's just the nature of dementia.
Reply from Renae Dixon, Manager at Silk Court

Thank you for taking the time to review Silk Court and we are pleased that you rate our cleanliness and rooms as excellent. We appreciate your kind feedback regarding Silk Court and our team and I will make sure everyone is aware of this. The safety of our residents and colleagues is our priority, so our main door remains secure and requires a colleague to open this for visitors. At busier times, this may take a little more time, where I have discussed this with my team and have implemented a rota for answering our main door. I'm happy to discuss all aspects of our care at a mutually convenient time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.871)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.871) out of 10 for Silk 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.871 for Silk Court is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.871
  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 Silk Court is based on 27 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 27 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.
