Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very favourably impressed by the facilities and staff at Eccleshare, having witnessed how well cared for our son-in-law’s grandfather was. When the time came for Mum to go into full-time care, due to her advancing dementia, the choice of Eccleshare was an easy one. The decision is not one we
have ever had the slightest cause to regret. We have been most particularly impressed by the very caring attitude of all the staff, the excellent activities they run in order to keep the residents entertained and engaged, and how welcoming they have been towards us. We have always been greeted warmly on arrival, and even now that Mum has passed away, we are still encouraged to go in and visit. Children are invited to attend some of the activity sessions, and our young granddaughter has enjoyed these immensely. We would like to express our sincerest thanks to all the staff for the outstanding care Mum received during her time at Eccleshare.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We found Eccleshare Court Care Home after being desperately disappointed by the standard of care received at two other care homes locally. From the very first introduction, my mother and I were made to feel very welcome, the caring staff got to know my mother quickly as an individual and always work
tirelessly to meet her needs.
My mother is happy and well cared for, she always looks content and is occupied with activities or resources appropriate for her Alzheimer's disease. We are relieved to have found a care home that treats my mother with dignity and respect, where she feels at home to be herself and are very grateful to all the staff involved in her care.

Following an accident in November 2018 I was transferred from hospital to Eccleshare court. Was my experience at Eccleshare court positive? Yes, it was. I was treated with kindness and encouragement, oh and I must add laughter (laughter is a great healer!). I am at home now and I look back on my time
at Eccleshare Court. I remember wonderful people doing a wonderful job. Would I recommend Eccleshare Court? Of course, I would!

Very happy with the accommodation. However, the wet room is very cold indeed (February). A grab bar vertical would be very helpful placed to the left of the shower control giving a great sense of security. A suckered basket above shower control would be extremely useful for shampoo/shower gel/sponges/cloths
and some hooks for towels/dressing gowns etc on the back of the door are an essential requirement.

My husband went into Eccleshare Court in May 2015 after being in the stroke unit at the local hospital for two months.
He was always treated with care and dignity until his death in December 2019.
As well as my husband's care, the staff were very friendly and helpful and always made me and the family
very welcome.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt has been a resident at Eccleshare Court for over 7 years.
The home today is totally different from what it was over 2 years ago; appointing a new care home manager that is passionate, energetic and dedicated to caring for residents and the staff was an instrumental factor in this change. The
care home staff work very very hard to ensure the best possible care is given to residents and it is lovely to see continuity of care being given by the same people, as this is really important to residents. The home is spotlessly clean, home cooked food available everyday, activities and social outings too.
Eccleshare Court is my Aunties home, she is happy, settled and I know she is safe. I receive regular updates on her care and I am always made to feel welcome when I visit. I am actively encouraged to join in activities and I thank everyone for the care and love they give, not only to my Aunt but to the other residents as well. This home is a very special one!

I was sent to Eccleshare Court after a stroke for respite care and at that time I was pretty much immobile.
The lovely room and friendly, caring staff made me feel very welcome and I felt that I was leaving many good friends behind when I left for home.
It was my birthday on the day after I arrived
and catering staff rustled up a birthday cake, which was a very nice gesture.

Eccleshare Court is a lovely place. All the staff are so friendly and caring. They all help each other to give the residents the best possible care.
My mother in law was there for respite care and she was encouraged to join in with activities.
Something that she wouldn't normally do.
She thoroughly
enjoyed her stay there and tells everyone she wants to be a resident there when the time comes.

The care my mother received while a resident at Eccleshare Court was excellent. She had a complex end of life condition and the support, help and care she received right up to death was appropriate and sensitive. My mum was treated as an individual and with dignity. Thank you.

My father has been a resident of this care home since July 2017. The quality of care is very good and the staff are excellent. My father has Alzheimer's and views the care facility as his home. We have no concerns regarding his care and were happy to find this "gem" after much research.

My Dad became a resident from May 2016, due to cancer, dementia and ongoing failing health, until his death in June 2018.
Staff members took good care of my Dad.
He was confined to bed and needed 24 hours nursing care, and that is exactly what was given.
With such kind, caring and compassionate people,
Eccleshare Court has a staff to treasure.
The family were always made welcome.
The nurses were always willing to answer any concerns that you had.

I spent 4 and a half weeks in rehabilitation following an operation in hospital for cancer. I found the home extremely clean, the room was lovely along with the food and the staff. I made great progress during my stay enjoying the company of the staff who treated me very kindly and helped me become
more independent. The kitchen staff also made me special dishes as I was unable to eat everything due to my operation. I was a non-paying user but well satisfied, excellent home.

Dad has settled in very well due to the care and commitment of the staff and management. Family members visiting are made to feel very welcome and are actively encouraged to join in with social activities and to dine with residents. All of dad's needs are met and the family is regularly approached
for supplementary information or to be actively involved in facilitating meeting the needs of dad and any changes to his care that may be required as and when needed.

When we started our search to find a home for mum, we toured all the care homes in Lincoln. Eccleshare Court stood head and shoulders above the rest. It was not only the facilities that we had been impressed by, but the atmosphere and staff were most welcoming. We were delighted to get mum in and every
effort was made by the staff to make her welcome and feel at home. She has now been there for nine months and our decision to choose Eccleshare Court was the right one. We, as a family, could not have asked for more!

My mother was in this home for 12 weeks after a bad fall. Every member of staff from reception to all the nursing staff and everyone else working here were extremely helpful, well presented and polite.
My mum has been in two homes before but I can say with 100% confidence this one is an absolute treasure.
Hopefully, my mum won't need a care home in the future but if she does I know Eccleshare Court Care Home is where she will be best cared for and looked after.

Review from Josephine O (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The difficult decision was made to move my father into residential care after my mother died a couple of months ago.
It was a very emotional time for the family.
However, Dad has settled well.
He has a lovely flat with lots of room for his favourite pieces of furniture, a kitchenette with a sink
and a fridge and also a wet room.
Dad suffers from dementia and quite often forgets things.
He doesn't forget to go down to the dining room for his meals though!
He says the food is good (he was a chef all his working life so that's a huge accolade) and he enjoys the company of other residents in the dining room.
However, he could take his meals in his room if he wanted to.
There is a daily care plan in his room, so we can see when we visit him how his day's going. He might have been sitting in the garden or have gone out on a trip.
It tells us what he's eaten if he's shaved, how many cups of tea he's had.
The care is marvellous and all the staff are friendly and loving.

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.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 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
  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 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:

    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 14 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.

Lisa Dent

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2003

Lisa is our manager here at Eccleshare Court. Lisa has been with Country Court for over 15 years, previously managing Swanholme Court and working as Deputy Manager at its sister home Eccleshare Court. 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.
