  • 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.

The staff here really do care about residents and their families. During these difficult times of the covid pandemic, everyone at Abingdon Court has shown deep concern for residents. Families have been kept informed of their loved one's well-being. Grateful thanks to all.

Very happy with the level of care/support. Great staff. Great management.
Cannot really comment on food as I didn't visit near mealtimes. However, the snacks served in my father's room looked good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent her last 3 months in the care of Abingdon Court Care Home until she sadly died. Throughout she was treated with respect and love. I was allowed to visit every day as she was deemed 'end of life' care and I would arrive at different times each day and she was always well cared for. The
staff all had so much patience and professionalism. The home was always clean and well managed. All the staff treated me also with kindness and always went out of their way to help.

I can only commend the high level of care given to my friend, whose medical needs are complex. Staff have been very considerate as to his times of confusion and need for understanding. Initially, communications with myself were poor but have since improved. I appreciate the demands on the staff during
this exceptional time has been more than challenging. I have felt very safe with the measure put in place to allow visiting.

Given an impression of happiness in the reception area. Greeted as a friend.
Evidence of cleanliness everywhere. Absolutely no smells from anywhere, not even of food at mealtimes.
Very satisfied, very happy at my choice.

My wife became a resident in June 2019, she had dementia. Sadly she passed away on the 11th March 2021, the care she received throughout her stay was exemplary. She was treated with love, compassion and respect. I don't want to name names but all of the staff on the 2nd floor have my undying respect
and thanks for the way they have treated my wife, and all the other residents, they are all now regarded as my friends.

A very safe and relaxing visit. Lovely, caring and welcoming staff. The garden is looking transformed since Dad's last visit - a great space to meet. He is happy and relaxed, enjoying the short stay and speak very highly of the staff.

Overall my experience is very positive. Any issues have been taken on board and discussed and sorted with politeness and dignity. The whole staff (carers, nurses, cleaners, catering staff, entertainment as well) have always been approachable and friendly. I have not had many occasions to talk with the
management which is a good sign but when I have they have always been there to listen and discuss constructively. A massive thank you to ALL during the Covid-19 pandemic.

My mother was a resident of Abingdon Court for many years. During all that time the carers and all staff - and we say many come and go over the years - treated my mother with dignity, respect and fantastic love and care. I visited many times on different days and times and always found my mother happy,
well and cared for. The food is amazing and they adapt to residents needs amazingly well. I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home. The loyalty and devotion of the staff is truly remarkable - particularly those on the second floor, where my mother's room was. The duty nurse on the floor and all the staff were wonderful. I will miss them.

I was at Abingdon Court for respite care following a long spell in hospital. My room was bright and airy, overlooking a river and trees and fields beyond. Staff are welcoming, genuinely caring, and so helpful and cheerful, finding time to feed residents if needed, or just perform like acts of kindness.
The activities are varied and designed to involve all types of resident. Nursing care is efficient and responsive. I hope to return here to convalesce after my next operation.

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.
