Review from Paul T (Son of Resident) published on 5 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was a resident at Premier Court for the last few days of her life. The staff should be congratulated as they have created a team that that has a real family feel about it. They not only treated my Mum with care and dignity but also the whole family who were made so welcome when we visited - nothing
was too much trouble.
It was so comforting to know that Mum was well cared for and was happy in her last days and for her to pass away in a place that felt like our own home is a feeling that one can not describe.
Myself my wife and all the family's heartfelt thanks to you all for all the care and compassion you shared with Mum.

Review from Patricia O (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Care and consideration given to my mother during her last days was excellent. The team had looked after her in her last hours cannot receive enough praise. The person in charge needs special thanks. He looked after my father and I on our arrival and visited us frequently and made my mother comfortable.
Three members of staff were with us when I pressed the emergency button and all were kind and sympathetic towards us. My father is 92 and was married to my mother for 68 years so the kindness towards us was much appreciated.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was a resident at Premier Court for the last two months of his life. He was well cared for. I was anxious for him to be comfortable particularly at the end. The hospice nurse and Premier Court nurses and GP worked together to ensure everything was in place for him when it was needed. He was
able to stay at Premier Court right to the end which was perfect he died comfortable and in peace.

Very warm and friendly across all members of staff, feel like a family and have taken you under their wing to care for you in their home. Plenty of activities going on everyday. Everything happens in a timely manor. Good food, no job is too big or small.

Happy and helpful staff. Carol the home manager and her team are always willing to help, they support both residents and their relatives, and you are always greeted with a smile and nothing is to much trouble.


With on site hairdresser, several lounges and daily activities and a fabulous peaceful

setting, it covers most needs.

For me, the daughter, it seemed the nicest place for my mum to go to whilst we went away. It was a very friendly, happy, clean home. I would not hesitate to recommend this home or to bring mum here again.

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.
