I very rarely give "full excellence" but Barchester Queens Court Care Home well deserves such a category. The good care that is being given to my dear godmother is clearly evident. Her room remains tidy, personal and individual space, which I'm sure is what partly keeps her going. She was in fine form
when I saw her and engaging as best she was able and the staff were as superb as always and so good with her - keeping her appearances up to her usual, immaculate standards. Thank you all so very much for all of your very hard and devoted work in making this all possible and for keeping the standards and attention to detail as high as they clearly are!

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

It is really a pleasure to receive this review, thank you. This is a special week - the start of Carers Week and how better can we start it than with a review like this? We are enjoying having your godmother here and see how she has settled in. I will share your comments with the staff.

Queens Court took my Mum for respite at very short notice (on the day). Everyone has been very welcoming and supportive.
The first room had a fault with the radiator (it wouldn't turn off) but the team moved Mum so the problem was quickly resolved.
The food is excellent. Thank you.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

You are right - The radiator would not turn off, however, we rectified this very quickly. Your mother has now returned home but we are pleased to say that she is on our repeat respite bookings. Thank you for this review.

My mother-in-law was a resident for seven years. During that time, she had a wonderful quality of life at Barchester Queens Court Care Home. Every member of staff was so kind and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. It was like living in a five-star hotel. There were many activities to occupy her.
The food was exceptional, both in quality and presentation. All residents are treated with so much dignity and respect. The staff are absolutely wonderful and standards are maintained at an exceptionally high level.

I visited Queens Court Care Home for the first time in February 2024. I visited with another friend. We were greeted warmly on arrival and my earlier telephone conversations were remembered. We found out mutual friend, who is a resident, very well cared for. Her room was clean and bright - as is the
whole of the home.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

I came to visit my friend for a fish and chips lunch, which I found wonderful, especially pineapple mousse. I found the staff very friendly and helpful in the care of the resident.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

This lunch was the brainchild of one of our residents. At the last Residents' meeting, it was suggested that we offer a Fish and Chip lunch to their friends and family for March. This idea has been very successful as the meal was always enjoyed but it also encouraged more visits around mealtimes. Visits are meant to be a social activity and improve one's Quality of Life. Thank you for your compliments - do visit us again soon.

I visited my friend today and took her out for coffee. Before visiting I contacted the home to explain I was recovering from a hand operation and would be grateful for help with my friend's wheelchair in getting to and from the cafe. From the moment I arrived at Queens Court, the staff arranged everything
beautifully and my friend and I spent a very happy morning together.

On my frequent visits over the past eighteen months, I always see how well the staff care for my brother-in-law. He has a very complex set of mental and physical needs and Barchester Queens Court Care Home has responded well to support him with these. He is happy and content in the home, he gets on
well with all the staff and enjoys all the activities. They are extremely responsive to his medical needs, resulting in avoiding any serious complications.
I am extremely grateful to the whole team at Queens Court for their exemplary care. It is clear to me that this a well-run and caring home. I would recommend.

I know from my brother, who resides in Barchester Queens Court Care Home, that "it feels like home" and he says he is happy here. All the staff treat him with respect and dignity despite his advanced Parkinson's. To show respect and dignity with kindness is how I best describe the care professional
staff at Queens Court Care Home.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

Thank you for your kind review. I know that it's never easy to visit one's loved one in a care home but as you say your brother is happy. It is our pleasure to care for him. Your brother is so kind and nice to us as well. I will share your review with the staff and see you soon.

My mother was extremely weak and her confidence was very low post a difficult series of chemotherapy treatments. She spent 4 weeks with the team at Queens Court and her condition and confidence were transformed enough for her to confidently return to her own house. All aspects of care, food, attention,
support and nutrition were exceptional and I would happily recommend to any other people in the same situation.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, Admin at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

Thank you for your review. It is so nice to see that the people who stay at Queens Court for a respite or a convalescence break can, in actual fact, return to their home as planned. Your mother was a lovely resident who worked hard to get stronger to return home and she did this. We are pleased to hear from you and look forward to you both joining us for a Christmas drink.

I had the pleasure of visiting this home recently. I was very impressed from the time I stepped into the waiting area - the lounge chairs looked smart and very comfortable. The residents were all well-dressed and cheerful. The staff were smiling and very friendly. The hallway was airy and well lit with
nooks furnished with some comfy chairs for catching up or reading. Congratulations to the staff of this well-maintained facility for providing our seniors with the best care and respect that they truly deserve. Keep up the good job.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.899)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.899) 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 69 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 68 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 4.899 for Barchester Queens Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (727 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 796 Ratings = 4.899

  • 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 68 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 68 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.
