  • Abingdon Court Care Home, Abingdon
Abingdon Court is a recently refurbished purpose-built care home offering residential, nursing and dementia care.

The 'home from home' feel at Abingdon Court is created by the dedicated staff who have been selected not only for their professional ability but also for their commitment to truly making a difference for the people in their care.

Residents' rooms are spacious and feature en suite facilities. The communal areas are at the centre of what makes Abingdon Court a real community whether it be at meal times or when enjoying activities. There are no fixed visiting hours so friends and family can come and see residents at any time.

The dining experience at Abingdon Court boasts fine home cooking by a professional Chef who has created a menu to reflect the interests and tastes of the discerning residents.

Activities and day trips are an integral part of the residents' well being. The activities coordinator encourages and helps residents continue with existing interests and also introduces new hobbies. The minibus is used frequently to take residents on day trips near and a little further from the home. The trips are very popular and recently, days out to Millets Farm, Notcutts Garden Centre, Cotswold Wildlife Park and Gardens and Dorchester Abbey have been greatly enjoyed.

Respite care at Abingdon Court is very popular and enables those wishing to experience what the Home has to offer before making a full commitment.

Review from Duncan T (Son of Resident) published on 6 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father died on 1st September and had spent 2 years and 3 months in the Care Home. From day one to the last, all members of staff that had supported my father were exceptional and obviously provided first-class caring throughout. I cannot thank them enough.
The only major downside was that the Government
has gone absent without leave to support the caring sector. All staff deserve better and deserve the level of support that they gave my father in his last years.
He would not have lived to the age of 94 without the Care Home providing quality support. Thank You.

From the day my father entered the care home, the staff's care and professionalism were outstanding.
My father spent almost two years at Abingdon Court. His personal care was exceptional, and as his health deteriorated, the carers completed the tasks he was unable to do for himself. He loved a wet
shave, and up to the day he died, this ritual was carried out!
The activities were all designed to help alleviate boredom, and Dad enjoyed joining in.
The staff went above and beyond in caring for him and loved to spend time with him chatting.
Would highly recommend this care home. We had a couple of previous experiences with not such happy results.
From the management at the top to the ancillary staff, it was excellent.
Thank you to everyone at the home.

My father lived to 101 and 5 months and I believe this is due to the care he had at Abingdon Court Care Home.
He was 99 when he went in for respite and stayed! He was so happy and cared for.
I was alwaus made very welcome and my frequent visits to him. I felt part of the family and still do. My
father loved the staff.
The staff are lovely, genuine, caring people. Always ready to help and never mind giving you their time.

Review from Nigel F (Son of Resident) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Last October. my mum moved here from another care home in her home town to be nearer to me (her son). She passed away on Saturday 29th July.
From the day she arrived, she was actively involved in the regular activities and in a matter of days her mental stimulation, quality of life and enjoyment were
transformed.
The care she received brought her out of her shell and helped improve her mobility and she was soon able to visit me at home in her wheelchair and get back a semblance of normal life.
On every occasion that I raised a query or asked for something to be done, whether with the manager, the carers or the nurses, it was done.
I’m so grateful that she was able to end her days happy and in such a lovely environment. She really enjoyed her time here and it's left me with memories of her laughing and joking and talking to me about all of the activities she was involved in and the friends she had made.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been in the care of Abingdon Court Care Home now since last November and since mum arrived the management and care staff have welcomed mum with a high standard of love, care, dignity and empathy. Mum has vascular dementia and grieving the loss of her husband and change of accommodation all over
a period of six months, the staff cannot be faulted in any way, they made this transition a lot easier than could have been expected. The care they are providing for my mum is excellent, myself and my sister are very grateful to them, they are wonderful people looking after my mum in a caring, professional way that makes this difficult situation a little easier as I am living outside the UK. Thank you to all management, nursing staff, carers and everyone involved in caring for my mum on behalf of myself and my sister and mum's daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Thank you, you're all heroes.

The staff could not have done more to make my friend feel happy and well cared for. They always let me know if there were any problems with her health and they had informed the GP. Towards the end of her life, the staff did everything to make her comfortable and included her in all activities.

Just want to say a huge thank you to Abingdon Court. My nan was in there for just under a year and she was dearly looked after. All the staff made me feel welcomed there and I could have not wished for a better care home than this one.
I will miss them all. Thank you.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The standard of care at the home is adequate. What is lacking is communication. A person on each floor is required to liaise with visitors. To update them on the resident's health, progress or problems. Residents, often, cannot answer questions themselves. Visitors should not be expected to have to
go and find the nurse, who is often unavailable, or carers who are always busy. Also, more should be done to deal with the 'typical care home' smell, immediately apparent on entering the lift.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband had been in Abingdon Court since 2018, and I can honestly say that I found the care he received excellent. Over the years, I came to know the staff well on my husband's floor and was always warmly welcomed on my visits. I was regularly consulted and kept very well informed of any issues regarding
his care and if I had any concerns at all over his health, I was able to voice these and be heard. His personal hygiene was well looked after and his room and clothes were always clean. It was obvious to me that the staff cared a great deal about my husband and enjoyed interactions with him when he was able to communicate. They treated him with dignity and recognised what he had achieved in his life. When he was no longer able to feed himself, his carers would be there for every meal making sure he was well nourished and hydrated. He seemed happy and content in Abingdon Court which is all I could wish for. My thanks go out to the excellent manager and staff at the home.
Reply from Flenton D'Cruz, Home Manager at Abingdon Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write such kind words about the care we were able to provide for your husband. Our staff members will be both rewarded and motivated to hear that their high level of care and support was so much appreciated by you. It has been our privilege to care for your husband during his time here at Abingdon Court. Our sincerest condolences to you.

I was very happy to see my sister being well taken care of. No matter when I went in to see her, she always looked very clean and hair done. The place was always very clean. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The only bad thing I have to say is the parking. It's a shame next door won't let
you park there.

My mother was a resident for five years and was happy and content taking part in activities. She always received excellent care, particularly during the last month of her life when she was lovingly cared for. From reception through to catering and nursing care - my family are all grateful.

My mother has been a resident of Abingdon Court for just over 5 years. She's been very happy during her time there and has always been treated with kindness and respect. Until recently she has taken part in activities, which she enjoyed. The activities team are great organising things to do which are
fun and enjoyable. She has been very poorly recently and in fact, died this week. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff whose care and kindness to us all made such a difference at this difficult time. Everyone from the manager down is friendly and welcoming.

My mother was transferred from a very busy major hospital in the final hours of her life. This provided her and her family with a quiet place where they could be together in the final hours. The staff at the care home did everything they could to make her and the family comfortable during this period.
The room was peaceful and clean.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.565)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.565) out of 10 for Abingdon 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.565 for Abingdon Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 246 Ratings = 4.565
  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 Abingdon Court Care Home is based on 19 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
