My dad came to Queen's Court in April after about 3 months in a residential care home, it was clear he needed nursing care, which Queen's Court provides. I am writing this in late August. It has taken my father a long time to settle in, but the care is good. He has a self-contained room. As I write
this, he is doubly-incontinent, and cannot walk without falling over. He has been very enthusiastic about the food from the start - which is elegantly served twice a day in the restaurant.


It has taken my father a long time to be able to join in group activities, but he seems increasingly able to do so with encouragement. The staff are kind and thoughtful, even on his not-so-well-behaved days. There is a regular programme of activities, and my father is encouraged to join in. Falls continue to occur, if he attempts to walk.
He was successfully assessed for continuing care. I visit my father twice a week.

My husband enjoyed his 2 weeks respite stay at Barchester Queens Court Care Home and was well looked after. I found the standard of care was high and the facilities were excellent. The staff were kind and patient when they took time to get to know my husband's ways. Of course, there are always a few
things that don't quite work as well as at home, but from the first visit, everything went smoothly. The dining arrangements were extremely good and my husband enjoyed his meals very much. He also liked being out in the garden, which is small but nicely planted.

Queen's Court is comfortable, well run and well staffed. The manager and all staff are friendly and helpful. Care seems to be very good. My wife who has been there for over 12 months says she is very pleased with the care she receives and she likes her room. The activities for residents seem to be many,
well run and appropriate. Frankly I am very happy for my wife at Queen's Court.

My cousin was a resident from March 2010 until she died in April 2015. During that time I visited her at least once a week. Since then I have continued to visit and talk to the residents, play or do anything else I can to assist the staff. The staff are very caring and every one is treated with respect
and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble for them I would not have any hesitation in recommending Queens Court to anyone.

My mother has lived at Barchester Queens Court since May 2011. Having suffered a severe stroke she has in fact improved in health since then, largely thanks to the excellent care provided her. Barchester Queens Court is very well run. The staff are always smart and helpful. Many activities are arranged
for the residents. All efforts are made to entertain and stimulate them. The home is clean and bright. The meals are beautifully prepared and served.

I have been impressed with the overall service and care offered to my cousin. The staff appear to be well trained and efficient, but more importantly they appear to have time to spend socially with residents. I am also extremely grateful to all the staff for care and friendship offered to me and to
my cousins visitors.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Warmly welcomed for my regular monthly visit, I arrived to find Mum being helped with her lunch, as expected. I waited for her in the garden, to which she was brought out when she had finished eating. The food was, as ever, of a very high standard. The garden was ideal for enjoying on a sunny, summer's
day: raised beds at eye level, evidently well cared for, and surrounding trees that Mum commented favourably on, several times during the couple of hours that we sat there. A lot of care has clearly been put into the design and maintenance of the garden. Staff were attentive to us both, without being intrusive, throughout my stay (7 hours in all). Mum is steadily becoming more frail and the team have helpfully adapted her routine, to include earlier meals and a regular rest after lunch, which Mum clearly benefits from. During her rest, I was able to have a relaxed, open, informative and helpful discussion about Mum's current and future health and welfare with the manager.

My mother spent a month at the above care home. It was an emergency. Manager came to view my mother at the time living on her own (with a care plan through an agency), my mother was confused incontinent or able to take care of herself and a danger (throwing water over the toaster where the toast caught
fire). Nothing but kindness and care throughout her stay at Queens Court wonderful. Mum at 95 this month health improved, gained weight, coherent in speech. Absolutely faultless.

My wife has been in Queens Court since Friday thirteenth September (sic!) 2015 when she was transferred from another hospital. She suffers from dementia (now in its sixth year) as well as incontinence. I have been very impressed with the care she has consistently and constantly been given during these
six months.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Barchester Queens Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 70 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 69 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.896 for Barchester Queens Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (735 Excellents x 5) + (64 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 808 Ratings = 4.896

  • b) 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 Barchester Queens Court Care Home is based on 69 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 69 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
