Review from Gordon W (Brother-in-law of Resident) published on 21 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very caring and professional. It's sometimes difficult to cater for everybody's likes and dislikes, but they do try hard.


The rooms are freshly decorated and clients can have their possessions around them. I believe this helps. The staff organise events to encourage clients and visitors

to mix socially. These are always a success. Well done.

Review from C C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 August 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was transferred to Elvy Court following a fall at her own home in which she broke her hip, and despite surgery, my Mother was unable to regain her ability to self-support. Advanced vascular dementia and increasing inability to eat, meant that she was unable to return home.


The staff and

management at Elvy Court gave my Mother excellent patient-centered care, keeping her as comfortable as was possible and making every effort with huge patience to assist with her meals. Her room was clean and well equipped for her needs and it had a pleasant outlook. As frequent visitors, all family members were met with friendship from the staff and in my Mothers last days, we were made to feel welcome to spend anytime day and night at our mother's bedside, with the use of the staff kitchen to make ourselves drinks as and when we needed them.


My sister and I had visited all care homes in the area ahead of our Mother being admitted into Elvy Court and are absolutely certain that we had made the right choice.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum was resident at Elvy Court for 7 years. The care was always good, but since the new manager was appointed, the quality of care and the atmosphere of the home has improved so much. The staff are absolutely amazing, caring, welcome, polite and always helpful. My Mum's medical condition started
to deteriorate and Mum had the best care we could ever wish for. The manager was so involved in her care and she comforted us as much as she could. We just knew Mum is in very good hands. A big Thank you to everybody for all you kindness and care .

My father was resident at Elvy Court for short period of time. The staff were brilliant, making him to smile every day and making us feel home. The manager was so supportive and professional we couldn't ask for more. When Dad passed away shea was with him and this gave us so much comfort. A team of
Angels.

Review from Colin (Son of Resident) published on 24 February 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved in just before Christmas from another care home. The transformation in her has been remarkable. Before Christmas on my last visit to her at her old care home she was lifeless and difficult to understand what she was saying. Now since moving and just a few weeks she is a joy to go and
visit. Happy, plenty to say and very funny. Things to do in the activity room, off down into Sittingbourne town center, even being taken to the pub for lunch. Everyone working at the home are very friendly and you can see that they really care. They only disappointment is she did not move here two years ago. Thank you all very much.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We chose this home after looking at about five others. The lady in the office gave us all the information/price we needed and this was on a weekend! She showed us around. The move from hospital to the home on the homes part was efficient. From day one we were welcomed and my mum was settled in well.
The room was clean and tidy and kitchen staff were all professional and very caring. They kept us all well informed of mums condition. In her last days she was treated with great care and dignity as were we. I would recommend this home 100%.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.555)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.555) out of 10 for Elvy Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.555 for Elvy Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (264 Excellents x 5) + (121 Goods x 4) + (29 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 416 Ratings = 4.555
  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 Elvy Court Care Home is based on 36 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, which has been reached with 36 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.
