Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The family would like to thank all of the staff and the manager, who have been excellent and supportive towards my father, his care and treatment regime. The team were quick in liaising with other medical teams to support Dad's health as well as attending to the hospital. The manager is very understanding
and caring. He kept us updated of Dad's health and well-being. We have received a warm welcome from him, he showed us around and is very knowledgeable and interactive with a good sense of humour and has demonstrated a holistic approach towards my father.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted to Catchpole Court Care Home, Sudbury on 4th November, initially for two weeks respite. The kind and attentive care she received was, from day one, excellent. Therefore, it was becoming obvious that full-time care was required and organised.
The staff are happy, responsive to the
resident's requirements and, above all. they communicate!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum suffered from Lewy body dementia and was in the Gainsborough wing of Catchpole Court Care Home from the end of 2020 until her passing at the beginning of October 2021. I speak for all our family in saying that the care she received in her final months was exceptional and that every member of
the team showed her and us an abundance of compassion, love and support for which we'll be eternally grateful. We all think you are marvellous!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Mum was in Catchpole Court care home from July 18 to August 30 and was extremely well cared for. The staff were very kind and respectful to Mum and she felt very comfortable there. Also, the staff kept me informed of everything going on regarding Mum, they always phoned if there was a problem. A very
kind, caring home.
Because of Covid, I didn't go inside the home.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.587)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.587) out of 10 for Catchpole Court Nursing 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.587 for Catchpole Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (18 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 254 Ratings = 4.587
  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 Catchpole Court Nursing Home is based on 22 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
