This home has given good service to all who need care. My late husband was here and nothing was too good for the staff who cared for him in the three years he spent here. My friend does not have any other family except people from my church. But she loves her room and the staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been a resident in "Swallow House" Dove Court Care Home for 7 months now. She is very well cared for by the hard working staff there. I would like to say a big thank you to all for keeping my mum warm, safe and healthy. She looks so happy and settled now. The staff are polite and very friendly.
With high marks from CQC I would never hesitate to recommend Dove Court Care Home to relatives of persons affected by Alzheimer's/Dementia.

We as a family are happy with how dad is being looked after. However, I think there should be a member of staff left at all times in the lounge area, so that should any resident need the loo, there is someone to take them.
Reply from Simone Berkeley, Customer Service Advisor at Dove Court Care Home

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your feedback. Your comments are extremely important to us we will discuss your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve their service and look at the point you have raised.

I cannot praise the staff enough for the care they provided my father. Although he could be difficult they treated him with the utmost care and respect and his final moments were treated with great dignity. The management and staff are a credit to Bupa.

Currently, long standing staff are covering for low care staff levels. Medical and nursing care is good, good choice of food and drinks, clean rooms, daily laundry. Good activity options for more mobile but less so for bed/room-bound residents.

My nanna has settled in very quickly to life at Dove Court. She has made some nice acquaintances and has a lovely room looking out onto the garden. She is always well turned out with clean clothes and hair and nails done.
She seems to enjoy all the company and attention from all staff.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.642)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.642) out of 10 for Dove 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 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 4.809 for Dove Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.809
  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 4.833 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Dove Court Care Home is based on 20 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24. 20 Positive Reviews ÷ 24 = 0.833
  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.
