Review from E S O (Wife of Resident) published on 14 February 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has been here for 5 months. As soon as we walked in we could tell it was the right place for him. It's not a 5 star hotel but a genuine friendly helpful warm place where patients and visitors are treated kindly and with respect. I can't praise them enough for all they have done for us. The
help and support they have given to me during this difficult time as been wonderful. A great place doing a great job.

Fantastic care with fantastic staff. From the start they have been brilliant with him and with his dementia and now he is really ill, staff are genuinely concerned for him and the family. Every need he has has been met and I cannot recommend this place enough.

Review from Stewart G (Friend of Resident) published on 1 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Everyone made us feel very welcome. My friend decided to cut all contact at the very end and this was adhered to by staff. I haven't rated what I didn't come into contact with, we were both truck drivers and it was without saying that I was given access to see him at some strange times. The only downside
was that no one knew what time he died, we knew what time he was born but time is relative anyway. Thank you for looking after my friend when he needed you the most.

Review from Lynette M (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum spent 8 months in Cheaney Court and her quality of life greatly improved during this time. The care given by the doctors, nurses and carers was very, very good. Families and friends were welcome at all times. The staff endeavour to help all the residents keep their individuality and encourage
interests for them. The domestic staff work hard to ensure a clean and warm environment and the catering is very good and balanced. The emphasis on Cheaney Court is 'Home'.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Nobody wants to accept that a parent needs that little bit of extra care, you feel that you have let them down. To find my mum a loving and caring place to be happy, a "home to stay" makes me and my dad and my son's happy. Thank you.

Review from Susan T (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother spent two and a half years at 'Cheaney Court Care Home'. She suffered from an aggressive form of dementia. The staff all greeted her on first name terms and always asked her permission to undertake any procedures. Staff were professional, caring and hard-working at all times. Management were
quick to deal with any issues. There were a couple of incidents with another resident but this was dealt with speedily and to my satisfaction. The maintenance and ground staff kept the facilities in good condition. Thank you to all at 'Cheaney Court Care Home'.

Review from W M (Son of Resident) published on 5 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home is excellent. I feel confident that my mum is being well looked after and that the carers do everything they can to make their residents comfortable and happy. The food provided is excellent and the rooms are spotless. My wife used other care homes for her mum but unfortunately they did
not come up to Cheaney Court standards.

Review from Julie B (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were very cautious to where we wanted our mum to stay for the rest of her days as she had dementia and wanted to know that after the terrible experience she went through in the previous place she would be well looked after. As we walked through the door we were met by the manager and felt completely
at ease as he showed us round and explained the running of the home etc, and we knew immediately this is where we wanted our mum to be.
Mum was there for the best part of 6 years and you could see how happy she was there, she was always clean and smart and the staff were always happy, friendly and dedicated as they often came in on their days off. Mum loved her music and there were days I'd go in and the staff had her favourite songs on the stereo be it in her room or in the lounge and would be happily singing away with the staff and residents. Those were priceless times and I can't thank the manager and the staff enough for the care they gave our mum in her last years.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mother moved to Cheaney Court Care Home from hospital by a private arrangement, they seemed unable to coordinate moving her on despite telling her she was going home, since then Cheaney Court Care Home have targeted her care needs and coordinated arranging NHS nursing care support. Her health has steadily
improved over the 10 months of her residence and she is better now than at any time in the last year.

This may not be the smartest home around but the caring staff are exemplary. We have used this home for eight years and both our relatives and ourselves have always been treated with courtesy and respect. The staff are very friendly and really care for the residents. There are opportunities for all
residents no matter able to partake in activities. The grounds and gardens are beautiful and there is a very good relationship with the primary school.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.833)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.833) out of 10 for Cheaney Court Care Home 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.833 for Cheaney Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.833
  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 Cheaney Court Care Home is based on 31 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 31 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.
