Zetland Court is a home and they go out of their way to make residents feel at home. Everyone is so friendly and cannot do enough to help. We were concerned that a younger person would not fit in with a home where many/most residents are very old - we could not have been more wrong, it doesn't matter
because everyone fits in. Facilities are excellent for someone who has suddenly had to leave her own home and needs residential care.

Our family member has been a resident at Zetland Court for about three months and we cannot believe our luck at finding such a wonderful home for her. The whole atmosphere is friendly and all the staff seems to go out of their way to be helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The house and grounds are
very lovely, and the food is fantastic, whether eaten in the dining room or in your own. We visited over three days and everyone we met seemed friendly and happy. Most were very happy to chat. Well done!

Mum has been at Zetland Court for almost a year now, and despite our earlier missing about her losing her independence etc, (and, as a consequence, delaying the move), she is now asking why we didn't move her sooner! Mum is perfectly at home, she sees more people than she's used to, is fed, watered
and cared for (more than we possibly could have). We have only the highest praise for Zetland Court and their super carers - dedicated, kind, efficient and with a lightness of touch to suit each resident.

Dear Chris, it is our absolute pleasure to help you in supporting your mom, she is a wonderful, delightful lady. Thank you for your kind words; I shall indeed pass these on to the team.

Review from Jim H (Nephew of Resident) published on 9 September 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin was a resident at Zetland Court for almost two and a half years, nearly all of that time in the dementia unit, Red Admiral. She was incredibly well looked after by the marvellous staff there who did everything they could to make her feel comfortable and cared for. She wasn't the easiest to
look after, she could be moody and difficult quite often, but the staff were always very patient with her and did whatever they could to make her feel at ease. In the last few weeks of her life, they went over and above to do whatever they could to help her in that traumatic time. I would thoroughly recommend Zetland Court as a Home which really looks after their residents - with a staff that really care.
Reply from Iain Slack, Home Manager at Zetland Court

We are grateful and honoured to have supported your cousin. I thank you for your kind words and I will surely pass these on to those who deserve them.

Dad has been through a very traumatic time in the past 2 months. He needs care and lost his wife of 66 years who he misses desperately. Zetland Court has provided him with the care, companionship and stimulation that he needs and it has taken a great weight off my shoulders. He lives close now, so I
get to see him more.

My father had dementia and could be challenging at times. The care my father received during his time at Zetland Court was outstanding. Everyone from the dedicated carers to the efficient office team worked together to provide the greatest standard of care.

My wife has been resident in Red Admiral View for 10 months. I have nothing but praise for the staff and facilities, she has a large room with a wardrobe and drawers and other belongings, there is a spacious lounge area and recreation room, spacious garden and very nice dining area. The staff and management
are extremely generous and caring, they communicate excellently. There is live entertainment with the staff and residents actively involved.

Partner has been a resident for 6 weeks respite care following a fractured femur. Placed in a very pleasant room overlooking the garden on the hospital floor. Excellent care and attention at all times. Very caring staff, always ready to help. Good management structure. Easy to contact if needed. Patients
feel very safe and secure with all the necessary COVID19 practices being strictly adhered to.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I live on my own as my wife died 12 years ago. I had to be admitted to hospital on 11 August 2020 with a severe gall bladder infection. I did not get out of bed for over 2 weeks. By 2nd September I was ready for discharge from hospital, but could hardly walk and was in no fit state to look after myself.
I needed care to help me to regain my strength and overall fitness. Zetland Court has given me exactly what I needed. The staff and residents have been most kind and helpful and I could not wish for better care. I can now look forward to looking after myself.

Review from Tracey A (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 October 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whilst there has been a turnover of staff, probably due to COVID, the care my father is receiving is amazing. My mum died at Zetland back in January 2020 and all of the staff were so kind and generous. I was worried about how Dad would be with Mum gone but he couldn't be in a better place. Zetland has
managed to protect all of the residents from COVID which is such a relief. One lady is wonderful in organising things to keep everyone amused and she does an incredible job - so thank you! Losing Mum was the worst thing that has ever happened to me. But knowing that the last person she spoke was a lovely night shift nurse who settled Mum into bed is a great comfort. I don't know her name but I am extremely grateful to her. Thank you - that's all I can say but it really isn't enough.

Zetland Court has been a haven for my father and our family and the home itself and the staff are exemplary. The care and attention to safety shown by all the staff is wonderful to see and the home itself exudes character and feels like a home from home.
We cannot praise the level of care enough and
the dedication of each and every member of staff in looking after the various needs of the residents.

There are 'bad habits' leftover from the previous management regime. We are confident, at this stage, that the new manager is addressing these points and improvement are showing.

Thank you for taking you time to write a review and giving our care home a rating of ‘good’ for the overall standard. Our current Home Manager is working hard with the management team to ensure our residents are happy living in our home.

My father moved to Zetland Court in June 2019 following a stroke in March 2019. My sisters and I have been very happy with the care provided and, through that care, we have seen a substantial improvement in his mobili8ty, general health and, above all, state of mind. He is happier than we have seen
for several years! Thank you and we thoroughly recommend Zetland Court.

In general, the residence is excellent, however, in the case of my father I feel it would be a good idea to see if it would not be possible to find activities which would entail using the lifetime skills of the residents. Dad was basically bored silly. Maybe some kind of repair and maintenance set up
which could be available to outsiders to make use of and even raise revenues.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Zetland Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.806 for Zetland Court is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 319 Ratings = 4.806
  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 Zetland Court is based on 26 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 26 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.

Sue Wiffen

Job Title: Deputy Home Manager (Dementia) Joined: 2020

I lead by example and I’m very passionate about dementia care being centred on the person rather than the environment. I believe any person should be encouraged to lead their care with support.


I have been involved in dementia care for over 30 years. I joined RMBI Care Co. in 2020 as a Dementia Lead, and I continuously seek training and peer support to enhance the lives of those living with dementia.

I am an advocate for any person with dementia and extend this to our communities, where I carry out awareness sessions to promote outstanding dementia care.


My saying is a person first, dementia second.
