I visit two residents regularly. I enjoy my visits and always find the care home clean and welcoming and the staff friendly and helpful. The residents I visit seem happy and settled and there always seems to be many activities arranged for them to take part in if they wish. I would definitely recommend
this care home.

My mother is a resident of Devonshire Court age 95 and has developed brittle asthma over the past few months which has been difficult to control. The staff have been so caring and supportive and the home manager arranged an asthma study day on site. Many staff attended including some on days off, with
mutual benefit this is just one example of the personalised care and going beyond the call of duty to support the residents and their families. Thank you.

Plenty of social activities and trips out in the minibuses. Staff are wonderful and caring. The manager is always available and has time to talk to the relatives.
I have experience of several care homes with my own mother and Devonshire Court is absolutely excellent in all aspects.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum always says how kind and lovely the staff are towards her after they have left the room. She appears to be content and settled - she enjoys her food and especially enjoys the various trips out such as the seaside and a canal boat trip this summer.


We always find mum very settled and happy. She

does not say much but she is obviously well cared for physically and mentally. Whenever she needs any special medical care, she always has first-class treatment.

The home is being updated - clean, comfortable. Help is always available. Nursing is not provided internally, but is organised if needed.


Variety of food is good and attention given to diets if necessary.


Entertainment and exercise are given and outings organised.

Overall I am happy that my mum is cared for in Devonshire Court. The home has improved over the three years my mum has been there.


The frontline carers are excellent on every level and ensure my mum is treated with respect and dignity. The activities have improved 100%. It's a lovely friendly

place to visit.

The standard of care is excellent the attitude and moral of the staff are first class and treat the patients with dignity and compassion.
The entertainment programmes are very well planned and receive great support from the residents.
The cleanliness of the home is exceptional provided by a hard working
staff. The dining arrangements compare to a very good hotel standard, without doubt, Devonshire Court is a credit to the masonic charity.

We have been delighted with all aspects of this home despite it going through some tough times.
The care staff are all fantastic and show my mother lots of attention and genuine affection.
The cleaning staff also deserve a mention for not only cleaning but caring.
I would recommend Devonshire Court
if you need to go through this difficult process with a loved one.

My father is very well looked after at Devonshire Court. Following a hiatus of leadership succession and issues around recruitment, the staff have really upped their game in what is a very challenging environment. I know many of the staff now and have faith in their intent and ability to look after
my father.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of the dementia unit for ten years. Mum is well looked after and enjoys life as fully as her condition allows. The 11-bedded unit provides a good ratio of staff to residents. The staff eat with the residents which adds to the 'family' atmosphere. The facility includes
a large dining room/kitchen where drinks and snacks are prepared as required. Cooked meals are delivered in a heated trolley from the main kitchen. There is a residents' lounge/activities area and a further seating area. Mum's own room is sunny and light and provides everything she needs.
In addition to the work of the activities team, some of the staff volunteer their own time for additional activities and trips.
We recently had to take mum to the hospital for an appointment and we were grateful for the cooperation of management in providing both a carer and wheelchair transport to make this possible.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.750) out of 10 for Devonshire Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 12 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 4.880 for Devonshire Court is calculated as follows: ( (127 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.88
  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 4.87 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Devonshire Court is based on 12 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8. 12 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.8 = 0.87
  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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2016

I started my career in social care in 1993 and has spanned over 30 years. I have worked with people from many different backgrounds with a variety of needs for example; people living with a learning disability, mental health issues, homelessness, older people, and physical disabilities.


I am passionate about equality and have spent my career striving to ensure vulnerable adults receive the care they truly deserve. In my present role as the Home Manager at Devonshire Court, my main motivator is to make the 10th decade of a person’s life as enjoyable as every other decade of the person’s life.
