My grandfather has recently been admitted to Seymour Court and I am so impressed with the quality of care shown by the staff. I am overwhelmed at how kind and compassionate everyone we have dealt with has been and I am so glad that of all the places my grandfather could have ended up, it was Seymour
Court. The home is beautiful and he is so well cared for. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication and for looking after my grandfather so well.

The care my dad received at Seymour Court was, without a doubt, the best I could have asked for. He was treated with respect and dignity right up to the very end. The staff and manager were absolutely brilliant to him.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father entered Seymour Court in April 2023 and died on New Year's Eve 2023. He was on end-of-life care. The care and respect my father received during his time at Seymour Court, in my opinion, went above and beyond what is required from a nursing home. The staff showed nothing but respect for my
father, who could be difficult at times. The manager was exceptional as we lived in Kent, so there were always lots of emails and phone calls. We would show up unannounced, and she would spend time with us talking about our father. All the staff at this home go beyond what is required, and the patients are treated with dignity and empathy. The home was always welcoming, clean and homely. All the staff were friendly and showed nothing but friendliness. We were treated as part of the family. I cannot praise this home, the staff and the manager enough. If you are looking for a nursing home for a loved one, this has to be the best there is.

Dad spent the last 7 months of his life in Seymour Court nursing home where he was loved and looked after. Dad had complicated needs. I never once doubted the care he was receiving from all members of staff. I looked forward to my daily lunchtime visits with Dad and staff. We all laughed and cried together
when he passed away. The manager's door was always open. The nurses spent time explaining and answering my many questions. Thank you!

My mother and father-in-law were resident for about two and a half months before they both passed. Our visits were many and we were always welcomed nicely. The staff were very kind to our parents-in-law and indeed us. We were able to ask things whenever we called and they were most informative. Seymour
Court was very homely and our minds were at rest when leaving there, assured that our parents were in good care. I don't know about activities, because our parents were not well enough to take part. Both their deaths were clam and dignified and loved.

The Seymour Court team looked after my parents during the final stages of their lives. They were treated with kindness, compassion and respect whilst there. I cannot speak highly enough of the team, without exception. The care was of a very high standard and we knew that Mum and Dad were safe, fed,
regularly looked after and made to feel very important. We too, as their family, felt the benefit of the warmth of the team, who also took time to support us during a very difficult family time.

Review from Carolyn B (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Initially Mum was admitted for respite care whilst my dad was in hospital. On discharge from hospital he then joined her in a twin room where it became apparent that they both required nursing care. Having seen the initial care provided for Mum, we had no hesitation in keeping them at Seymour Court,
where they could stay together and be looked after with dignity and compassion. Little things such as making my dad a gluten free lasagne to stimulate his appetite after my mum passed away, to the care, attention and time given to them, and to us as the extended family. I felt I could leave Mum and Dad's care to professionals, who also became surrogate family, allowing me to spend time making precious memories in their last couple of months. I shall forever be grateful that we found Seymour Court and knew from our first visit that this was a special place indeed.

Review from Martin B (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 31 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff at Seymour Court are special people. My elderly mother-in-law and father-in-law spent the final 3 months of their lives receiving not just professional nursing care during their time of failing health, but genuine compassion, attentive care, good humour, and respect. I regularly visited them
in the home and, no matter when I arrived, I would find staff treating my parents-in-law with dignity, patience and a ‘nothing is too much trouble’ attitude. What was telling was that my mother-in-law and father-in-law always remarked on how lovely the staff were and how grateful they were for the care they received. The staff took the time to get to know both of them. I and the rest of the family were also treated with respect and kept informed on all aspects of the health of my parents-in-law and any question or request we had was always dealt with promptly. This extended to the compassion and care that we received when my mother-in-law, and subsequently, my father-in-law passed away.
Reply from Marie Claire Foale, Manager at Seymour Court

All at Seymour Court were privileged to be part of the last steps of their journey. An absolute pleasure to look after such a delightful couple. Thank you.

A lovely care home where both my grandparents spent the end of their lives. They were well cared for by friendly staff who supported both them and the family. They had a varied range of meals and were catered for, including specific dietary requirements. Their room was always very hygienic and they
were always dressed in clean clothes and had clean bedding.

My dear sister was only in your care for four days. What care, compassion, respect and dignity were shown to my sister in her last days by your amazing staff was beyond 100% perfect. We could not have asked for anything more. Big thank you, to you and all your wonderful staff. Thank you all.

Seymour Court was certainly the perfect place to be for the final 4 days of my sister's life for her end-of-care treatment. She was sent there from Derriford Hospital. From the time she arrived on the Tuesday until she passed away on Friday, she was treated by every member of staff with the utmost care,
dignity and affection. Nothing was too much trouble if any of the family members needed a cup of tea, just a simple cuddle or just a chat they were all there for us. It made us all feel like we had known every member for years. When my sister passed the dignity they all showed to her was exceptional there are not enough words to tell you all how much you helped us all through this difficult time in our lives. True angels in disguise one and all.

Review from Adrian T (Brother of Resident) published on 5 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Seymour Court has been the right place for my brother to live the final seven years of his life. I viewed ten homes to find somewhere for my brother to go after being discharged from a stroke rehab unit, and this was the last one I visited (saved the best till last). I turned up unannounced and was
greeted warmly by the manager. Immediately I was given a sense of confidence that it would be the right place for my brother, and that has been the case. They have always treated my brother with care, dignity, interest and affection. Being younger than most of the residents, my brother, having been there a long time, has seen inevitable changes in personnel, but the continuity and standard of care, even though the Covid pandemic, has been consistently good. The manager and the nursing lead have always treated me well and made me feel like we were all part of my brother's family.

My mum has been a resident at Seymour Court for a year now. I cannot fault the amazing staff for their love, care and attention to everyone there. The manager manages an amazing team of staff. She is also very approachable and helpful in everything. For the first time in eight years, I can relax and
know that my mum is so well cared for. I also know that for any changes, they will contact me straight away. It's always very clean, the food is amazing, and the staff become a second family, which when you have a loved one so poorly is so very important. I cannot thank you all enough for looking after her; such a massive change in her overall well-being since being there. We love all of you.

Our friend and neighbour, who recently passed away, was receiving palliative care at Seymour Court. We could not fault the level of care that was given to him over the period that he was a resident there. All of the staff were very friendly and welcoming towards us and always took the time to update
us on current developments. The compassion and care that we saw being given to our friend was outstanding. The manager of Seymour Court spent a lot of time in discussion with us, both personally and on the phone; she is to be congratulated on her leadership of the team.

My dad was moved into Seymour Court from a care home as he had begun to deteriorate. We found the staff at the home incredible, caring and compassionate and treated him with respect at all times. He was well looked after. My sister and I were able to see him regularly and were made to feel welcome all
the time. We fully recommend Seymour Court. We were always kept informed if there were any changes to his health. We cannot thank all the staff enough.

The home is well-managed, staffed by the most caring, gentle and considerate people. They all contributed to making my mother's few remaining moments a calm and peaceful time, showing compassion and understanding and treated with dignity. At a difficult time, they showed love and understanding; they
are all a credit to their profession. We, as a family, could not have asked for a better environment and care.

Seymour Court had my mother as a resident from January-March when she sadly passed away. The absolutely fantastic love, care and attention that my mother received at Seymour Court has been replicated by even her own family.
Every member of staff is friendly, respectful, helpful, loving and caring,
and nothing is a problem.
For my mum, it was the same as being at home. I couldn't have asked for a better place for my mum to spend her last months.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.696)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.696) out of 10 for Seymour Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 26 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 4.696 for Seymour Court is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 289 Ratings = 4.696
  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 Seymour Court 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, 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.
