  • Premier Court Care Home, Bishop's Stortford
Premier Court is set in a very peaceful countryside location within Bishop’s Stortford. It provides a full range of residential and nursing care.

They’re here when you and your loved ones need them most. For planned respite or last- minute trips. A safe space to recover after an operation. To experience what their home’s like before moving long- term. To just relax. Whatever the reason, their doors are open.

A modern, purpose-built home, Premier Court has comfortable ensuite single bedrooms and attractive décor. The home features well-furnished lounge areas where residents can relax and socialise, there is also an onsite hair salon and the homes very own tea room for all to enjoy.

The home benefits from lots of outside space with courtyard gardens for family and friends to use whenever they come to visit. The home is also wheelchair accessible throughout.

Enjoying food is an important part of life. The chefs create well-crafted menus made with the freshest ingredients. Soon after a resident arrives at the home, staff discuss their personal preferences and dietary needs with them.

There’s a real sense of community at Premier Court. The staff work to discover what residents enjoy doing and the home's social calendar is organised around those interests. So whether loved ones already have a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in.

The activities calendar includes arts and crafts, music, flower arranging and gardening. Visiting entertainers often perform, and residents can enjoy outings to garden centres, shopping trips or places of interest.

The care my mother receives is outstanding. I was a care provider myself for 40 years and believe Premier Court Care Home to be quite exceptional. I would not want my mother to be anywhere else.

I was resident for a post-op recuperative week. All staff were cheerful, kind and helpful.
The accommodation was entirely suitable for my needs. Food, although not gourmet, was perfectly OK.
A complete absence of unpleasant smells, etc.
Whilst it is not a luxury home, everything one needs is there,
most especially the care and kindness of the staff.

My mother stayed at the home for 12 days. The staff were amazing, nothing was too much trouble, the food was excellent and the care was second to none. Unfortunately, Mum had to go to hospital so her stay was cut short.

Mum has been in Premier Court for nearly a month now after being transferred from the hospital for end of life care. The staff are brilliant (from cleaners, cooks, carers, sisters). They are on the ball with any problems and always take time to talk to me when I need reassurance. It's a difficult time
for us as a family, but they have made the transition very easy on us and Mum.

The level of care and compassion at Premier Court is second to none. The staff - all of them - everyone I encountered - was amazing, helpful, supportive, caring and energised, upbeat and characterful, which made us feel very welcome, at home, taken care of and know that dad was in excellent hands with
wonderful carers. Thank you a million times over.

Premier Court is a very caring and welcoming care home. All the staff we met were friendly and kind. We were greatly reassured that we were leaving my mother-in-law in good hands with professional 24 hr care. The home is well maintained and lovely location adjacent to the picturesque Southern Country
Park in Bishop Stortford.

My aunt has been in Premier Court Care Home for nearly 3 weeks respite. The care has been excellent and she has no complaints. All staff are pleasant and helpful and treat her with kindness and compassion. She is due to go home next week and we have discussed her future needs. If she needs to have 24-hour
care she has expressed a wish to return here.

Review from Mark E (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 19 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother in law had a fall at home and we felt that she needed a few weeks in a home to recover. This coincided with some medical investigations in a local hospital as well. She was quite anxious about the stay although knew it was the best place for her to be at this time.
We have found Premier Court
to be a very welcoming place for her. And us! I feel that she is being looked after well. She is safe and she is enjoying the food and the interaction with the staff and other residents.
The manager is very hands-on and is always approachable and helpful. The deputy manager was lovely and supportive when we first made contact with the home. We have sampled a breakfast and it was lovely. The chef and the staff in the dining room made us very welcome. The nurses there have been so helpful and involved. The care staff are great. The activities coordinator is absolutely brilliant. Whilst this is only our fourth day here I am confident that my mother in law will be well looked after.

Review from Julie H (Friend of Resident) published on 19 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My (elderly) friend has recently required some respite care following a fall at her home. From the moment we walked through the door for the initial assessment, she was made to feel welcome, as were we. All the staff, without exception, greeted us as we were given a conducted tour. My friend has only
been at Premier Court for a few days but has improved mobility and confidence. She is a quiet person, lives alone with little social interaction. During the first few days, she has been encouraged and got involved with carpet boules, a concert and dining in the very pleasant dining room with other residents. The food is good and there’s always a choice. They are varied and we’ve certainly seen our friend eat heartily at all mealtimes. At the fear of sounding “O.T.T”, the staff, without exception are remarkable adjusting their skills to suit each individual. They are a great caring team lead by an excellent “hands-on” manager. We have peace of mind.

My father has been at Premier Court Care Home since November 2019.
He has settled really well, all the staff are very helpful and understanding. This was a big move for him as he has always been very independent and lived alone for many years. It is peace of mind to know he is in such good hands and
getting the help he needs.
Lovely home, highly recommend.

This has been my 3rd holiday spent here and for the third time, I am more than ever to extend to all aspects and staff. My sincerest of thanks, gratitude and love goes a long way to heal that which brought me back yet again. To me, it speaks for itself realising that well over 50/60% of the present
staff were here at my first visit in 2017.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.765)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.765) out of 10 for Premier Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.765 for Premier Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.765
  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 Premier Court Care Home is based on 25 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 59 registered maximum number of service users is 11.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
