I came to see my sister and was amazed at the change in her. Hair done, nails smart and so happy and smiling. The home and staff are fantastic. I really can't believe in the change in my sister. The home is tidy, clean and staff so great, nothing is too much trouble.

My mum moved to Canwick Court in May. It is very friendly, the staff are very helpful especially one in particular. The food is wonderful and they are very patient with mum who does get confused. Her room is lovely and big and she has her own curtains up which makes her feel at home.

Canwick Court Care Centre is homely, it doesn't feel clinical like a hospital, it isn't noisy and bustling, it is a calm environment. When you walk in, in many ways it is like a family home and you are greeted with a smile by all of the staff.
My mother is treated with respect, she is listened to and
the staff try hard to try and work out her needs.
We (the family) feel like we are part of the decision making and there is genuine of interested in her well being.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care staff were second to none. My father was placed there after discharge from hospital. Even though he was only there for a just over a week, he was treated with the upper most care and respect. The administration before his arrival allowed us as a family to be able to see him without any issues
or concerns. Whilst there, the manager and staff answered all of our questions and concerns, which allowed us to relax and enjoy the time my father had remaining with us. Canwick Court Care Centre was immaculate and easily accessible. They allowed us to visit at any time within reason, even late at night. The professional attitude of the staff was very good, at one point not passing information to someone who phoned to ask about my father. I cannot express the gratitude that my family has for the great service towards my father and my family. Many thanks to all the staff.

Review from Mickaela D (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad lived in Canwick Court Care Centre for just under a year. He struggled to adjust to life in a care home in the beginning but within a few weeks, he was soon waving us off without a care.
He joined in with all the activities (even bingo) that the staff put on and when we visited we would be encouraged
to join in which we did often. It was really lovely getting to know all the residents.
Dad soon became a big part of life in Canwick Court. Staff and residents all loved him and when it came to end of life, the staff were amazing and couldn't do enough for him or us, as a family. Nothing was any trouble. They did everything possible to make Dad comfortable and we were all welcome to visit anytime, day or night.
We can't thank all the staff and residents of Canwick Court enough for all they've done for Dad and our family.

My mum went into Canwick Care Home until a home care package could be found, and was there for about three weeks. Mum had a decent size room which unfortunately wasn't en-suite.
Mum was looked after by the very friendly staff really well, nothing was too much trouble and I felt that mum was very safe
there. The staff were first class, always on hand, offering drinks and making sure that medication was provided correctly.
It is an older building, however, the staff make up for this, my mum was sorry to leave them.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I really do have nothing but praise for this beautiful home and the outstanding team!
From the very first evening when my stepfather first arrived back in November, we have found the home to be very warm and welcoming and a real home-from-home feel. He was always very happy with every aspect of living
in the home and every single member of the team always went above and beyond to make him feel welcome.
The food and refreshments were always very good quality and nutritional and any requests were always carried out fully.
We were always kept up to date and informed of any changes with his care needs and we felt fully confident his needs were met at all times.
I personally cannot thank every single member of the home enough for absolutely every little part you each played in ensuring he was well looked after and cared for with respect and dignity at all times.
Thank you all so much again and keep up the amazing work you all do, you're all incredible.

My father has settled well into Canwick Court, he is being very well looked after and the staff have been very caring and helpful. His room is very spacious and he has a pleasant view. He enjoys the meals provided and the availability of refreshments throughout the day. He goes on outside excursions
quite frequently and the staff are always helpful in making sure that he is provided with his medications whilst away.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since entering Canwick Court Care Centre, our father was given the most warm welcome from everyone he met. The staff attend to his and all the residents' needs with care, respect and kindness. Dad has had a few times where paramedic's have been called. The staff have dealt with these in a very professional
manner and even called me for an update on Dad when off duty, dedication springs to mind!
The activities within the home Dad really enjoys. I have even caught him laughing which I haven't seen for two years. The food looks amazing, also in the hot weather through the summer it was ice-cream central.
I truly can say; to the manager and all the staff that have listened and answered my questions that I may have had over the last few months, the chap who helped to place his art work on his bedroom walls, the cleaning staff, cooks and activities person and anyone else I may have forgotten, "thank you" for helping to give quality of life back to Dad, this is where he is happy, feels safe and secure.

When my mother first went into the home I was met with warmth and care from everyone in the home. At first, I wasn't keen on the building as it's not modern so the manager and staff have to make it work and they do. Anything I asked for was promptly attended to. The care for my mother was first-class
and delivered with love.

Since coming to Canwick Court, my mum's quality of life has improved immeasurably. It is a place where she is safe and well looked after. The staff are very patient/resident-focused and go to great lengths to ensure residents are happy. The building is clean, and the food is good. The staff are cheerful
and happy, which to me demonstrates they are treated well and fairly. As a healthcare professional myself, I do have experience in residential and nursing homes and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one.

From the moment we met the manager, deputy manager, the lovely carers and staff, Mum and the family have been shown nothing but kindness, care and respect. Mum could easily become agitated and angry but she has settled straight away. Mum is happy, laughing a lot due to the carers and other staff with
her. The lovely activity coordinator provides so many activities and Mum is joining in. This is lovely to see. When I visited recently, Mum actually said 'it is lovely here'!
Thank you to you all.

Mum recently moved here for full-time living, we have found management, senior carers and other carers to be very kind and competent. I especially am impressed with the very lovely activities coordinator, I attended a 'mad hatters' tea party and loved it. The manager is very friendly and approachable,
looking after our needs as a family too. Reassuring us along a very upsetting and difficult path.

Mum has been a resident for 7 months and has received the very best of care. The staff are amazing very knowledgeable about dementia care and genuinely care for their residents and their families. It's the hardest thing to place your mum in care but they have made it so much easier to accept knowing
mum is in great hands and is genuinely happy there. I cannot thank the staff and manager for all their continuing help and caring for my precious mum so well.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.306)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.306) out of 10 for Canwick Court Care Centre 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.706 for Canwick Court Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (49 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 68 Ratings = 4.706
  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 4.6 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Canwick Court Care Centre is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 6 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.
