Most of the carers are really good and deserve higher reward. But, I feel there are not enough of them to give my mum the full care and attention she needs. I would also like to see her encouraged more to join in activities, which I have mentioned a few times.

Reply from Lisa Dent, Home Manager at Eccleshare Court Care & Nursing Home

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. Your feedback is appreciated and we will take on board your comments, especially regarding your mum joining in with activities; we will do what we can to include her in any activities we have in the future. Best regards.

Every time we visit my dad, he is always happy and content. Nothing is trouble for the staff; they have helped my dad settle into the home and now we have peace of mind that he will be well looked after.

The staff are very friendly and welcoming. Can’t fault the management; any concerns I’ve had have been dealt with straight away. Mum absolutely loves all the staff and says they’re wonderful with her. Rooms are a really good size, and the food always looks good; haven’t tried it, but Mum says it’s lovely.

Our mum spent her last fourteen weeks in Eccleshare Court Care & Nursing Home. She was transferred as palliative/end of life. We cannot thank staff enough. She was looked after so well. She passed away with dignity and respect. Staff very friendly, kind to both us and Mum. Can't praise all staff highly
enough. They couldn't do enough for us as a family on Mum's passing, offering us drinks etc. and even a guest room.

I expected the home to be friendly, unfortunately, I was very disappointed. My father and myself get ignored. The facilities for visitors (coffee and tea are near impossible) The machine is always out of order, and the kitchen is now locked up. The kitchen staff are super but no longer available as
it's closed. I have made complaints many times, this doesn't help either. My father is very lonely and feels the same. I could be there for 3 - 4 hours and see no - one at all. My father may be demented but he says a lot to me.

My mum was placed on end-of-life care and I couldn't have wished for a better place for Mum to be. We were looked after as a family. Very caring staff, respectful and helpful. Mum was very poorly but she was nursed extremely professionally.

Absolutely outstanding care and support were given to all of us. Hubby was admitted for his last week fighting terminal cancer Everyone we came into contact with was caring, compassionate and welcoming. We were able to visit whenever we wanted and nothing was too much trouble whenever we arrived. His
last hours were filled with so much care and compassion, very comforting for us all. So sorry I did not get to do this earlier forever grateful!

The end-of-life care my wife received at Eccleshare Court Care & Nursing Home was second to none. The help and empathy shown to me by all the staff was truly wonderful, making a very emotional and traumatic time easier to handle for which all the staff have my heartfelt thanks.

My mother was suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers and spent her final 6 months at Eccleshare Court. A difficult and upsetting time for us all. The care she received was excellent, she was treated with compassion, understanding and dignity at all times. The staff are clearly very experienced, pragmatic
and knowledgeable in dealing with dementia patients and we cannot thank them enough for their professionalism and standard of care. Thank you.

Lovely welcoming atmosphere - bright, with a team of dedicated staff. Not able to pick any one in particular (1 person) because every member of staff, in all areas, were professional, efficient, caring individuals that go the extra mile to make the residents and visitors feel at home and valued. Would
recommend this care home very highly. So grateful to all staff.

My brother who was terminally ill with cancer spent his final week in this nursing home. He was professionally and compassionately cared for, made comfortable and treated with dignity. I was so thankful he was able to be at peace and that we could visit as often and whenever we liked. When he passed
away the staff were amazingly helpful and comforting. Thank you all so much.

All staff that we have met have been extremely helpful and friendly. Despite Covid restrictions, visiting my father has been made as easy as it possibly could be. My father seems settled and content and is being well cared for. We appreciate the hard work of all the staff over the past year that my
father has been a resident. Thank you.

My Father moved into Eccleshare Court in February a few weeks after losing his wife after 67 years of marriage. I live abroad and due to Covid, was not able to be with him when he moved but luckily his fantastic carer and friend organised everything. The Manager was so incredibly sensitive to our situation
that she put me at ease at once, was always available to my many questions, and helped the transition into the care home go seamlessly. I was then lucky enough to have a call with the person who organises all the activities and we organised regular video calls which meant the world to me. We finally were able to visit at the beginning of October and all the staff made us so incredibly welcome, we arrived late on the first afternoon but that didn't matter and they let us see Dad as soon as we arrived. The following days were amazing and we even had lunch in the "Pub" with Dad and then the following day took him out. Thank you to all at Eccleshare for everything.

I feel that mum has received the best care from the home under some extreme conditions, lack of staff, and Covid restrictions. Mum had a spell in hospital and then went back to the care home, we were kept informed of Mum's care plan due to her hospital stay and nothing was too much of a trouble for
the nurses if we needed to speak to them.

Having to find a care home for our father in the middle of a pandemic lockdown last year, and with the additional complications of his dementia and diabetes, was not an easy task. We did have one advantage, another family member has been at Eccleshare for several years, so we had a personal recommendation
from his wife, who is a nurse herself. Until recently, Mum was only allowed to see him in restricted areas, but in the last couple of weeks, she’s been able to see him in his room, which has helped her picture him when she can’t be with him. Dad seems very content, and the staff take good care of him, even on his grumpy days. He reports that the food is really good, and he seems to enjoy spending time with the other residents, COVID permitting. The only slight negative is that it can be tricky getting through on the phone, but when she does, the staff are always happy to talk to Mum and reassure her. Now that we can, we are looking forward to visiting Dad as a family as soon as we can.

Nothing ever seems too much trouble. Everyone is always smiling and seem very happy in their work. There are entertainment days (even in the aftermath of Covid). The home is always spotless and never smells untoward as many do.

I know my father is happy here but it is virtually impossible to get through to you on the phone. I tried every day for two weeks to try and speak to someone and that was six times a day (fitting this between work, using breaks etc.) Not once was the phone picked up. I have the correct number and I
know it's the same for when my mum tries. Please update your phone system or even have an answering system which will get back to someone who calls.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.208)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.208) out of 10 for Eccleshare Court Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.208 for Eccleshare Court Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (103 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 197 Ratings = 4.208

  • b) 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 Eccleshare Court Care & Nursing Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 14 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Her hard work and dedication were recognised with a staff award for treating residents, staff & relatives with dignity, respect, care & compassion.

David

David Stacey

Job Title: RMN Nurse

Joined: 2018

David joined Eccleshare Court in April 2018, after working as an agency nurse and had done some shifts at Eccleshare over the previous 2-3 months. He really liked the home, so he applied for a permanent role. Prior to this, he worked for United Health in care homes in Lincoln and Scunthorpe so he was familiar with the care home environment.


David felt that he could use his skills in a more meaningful way in a care home, as nurses have much more time with people and don’t just treat them and move them on as quickly as possible. In a care home you get to know a person’s medical history but also their personal background enabling you to build long term relationships not just with them but their families too. You make connections with people that you just don’t get working in acute care. The goal here is about enabling people to have the best possible quality of life.
