Review from Rosella D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 19 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Would recommend Silk Court highly to anyone thinking about placing their loved ones in a home. Caring, friendly and very professional from the reception to the office and to the home and care to the residents. My mother-in-law settled in quickly, and her care is excellent.
Silk Court will ring me
if they have any issues relating to my mother-in-law, and also receive emails frequently informing of any changes to visits and other stuff that goes on within the home. They act quickly if they think my mother-in-law needs a doctor, and I am always informed.
I would highly recommend Silk Court.

This care home gives excellent service to clients and visitors. Every member of staff is polite, informative well presented. The rooms are always clean, clients always clean and nicely dressed. Food is good, nice choice on menu. During this very difficult time with Coronavirus, we cannot visit but call
daily and get all the information on our Mum we need. Well done to Silk Court.

My aunt has always said the carers are her family. I have been visiting my aunt for 6/7 years travelling down from Scotland every 2 months for my immediate family and aunty. Always the staff all of them have been very welcoming. They keep me up to date on her health and telephone me in Scotland if unwell
so I can come to London quickly. The care is excellent my aunt is happy to be here.

My mother has lived in Silk Court for a year. It has been a wonderful sanctuary for her, providing security, safety and a sense of contentment. I have nothing but praise for the staff, who always remain calm, kind and treat all residents with dignity and respect. The atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.
Staff and management have proved to be wonderfully adaptable to my mother's evolving care needs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
In general, this care home provided a very good level of care for my Mam. The carers and team leaders all contributed to making Mam feel welcome, alleviating only initial concerns or anxiety. The activities organised by an engaging and friendly coordinator played a huge part in occupying her throughout
the day as well as helping her to integrate with other residents and staff. This home has done a good job in preparing Mam for her sheltered accommodation, once she leaves this facility. I would definitely recommend!

When we arrived we were greeted by really calm, friendly staff. A staff member showed us around, our immediate impression of Silk Court was the fact it is so spacious, there are many areas and rooms to go to or sit in. The residents were all relaxed and friendly.
It is mixed ages. We were looking
for our dad who is 91 with the onset of dementia.
Everyone reassured us they would cater for our dad's individual needs.
Dad has been in Silk Court for 3 days and it has put our minds at rest knowing he is in a safe and comfortable environment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I chose this home with my father. He has dementia but responded to Silk Court, where other homes he actively took against.
The staff are very friendly and welcoming. It is spacious, light and clean and there is a good choice of areas for residents to go to. They can move between floors and choose
which lounge to go to, find a quiet spot or choose to be with other residents. There is a warm and friendly atmosphere. I feel my father is safe and well cared for.
There is an open door policy about visiting. You can go at any time of day or evening and be welcome, make yourself a cup of tea. I feel very comfortable when I am there. I enjoy getting to know the staff and some of the other residents too. The food is mostly good but could be a bit more varied and interesting sometimes. That's the only less than a hundred percent positive I would say. I think it is an excellent home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.861 for Silk Court is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 323 Ratings = 4.861
  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 28 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 28 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.
