Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very happy with the way Amber Care Nursing Home has protected it's staff and residents during this pandemic. I happen to have a friend in the home who I visit from time to time, during my visit a few days ago, I was highly impressed with the care and PPE Amber Court Nursing home has provided for
its staff, residents and visitors. This review is to say a big thank you and well done to the management and staff of Amber Court Nursing Home for their care and support to their residents, visitors and families.

Very nice looking building from the outside, not been inside yet. Very friendly and helpful staff. They take great care of my dad and consistently monitor his condition. Nothing else to say at the moment.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am very impressed with the care and protection the resident in Amber Court Nursing Home is given, during my visit to my friend I was given a nice welcome by the staff, my temperature was checked and I was given PPE to wear before my friend was wheeled to the garden to chat with me, he looked well
and properly cared for and all the staff had proper PPE, this delighted my heart because I knew immediately that he was in safe care, we stayed 2 meters apart and refreshments were offered to me. I am very happy with the care and protection Amber Court is providing to its staffs and residents. The team in Amber Court is run by very caring management and staff the residents are well protected, I would recommend this care home to anyone and I am making arrangements to get my aunty in the home as I am 100% impressed with the way my friend, other residents and staff looked during my visit and the way the home protects its resident and staffs.

Review from Dave W (Son of Resident) published on 13 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was transferred from hospital to Amber Court for end of life care. He was there for ten days, and as a family, we could not have wished for any care that was more loving, professional and dedicated that not only he received but that was given our family as well. A mark of any good organisation
is how colleagues relate to each other. All the staff had great respect for each other and this was transparent in the care given to my dad as well as to other residents. I am so glad that we chose Amber Court for his final days. Thanks to the manager and all the wonderful staff there. You are outstanding.

Outstanding overall care at Amber Court. The staff are warm, friendly and compassionate towards both the residents and relatives creating a positive and calm environment. The rooms and common areas are nicely decorated and always very clean. The food is excellent. Staff try their best to make it feel
like a ‘home from home’.

My mum spent 18 months in Amber Court and passed away there in June 2018. The staff are truly wonderful. They are compassionate, caring and treat the residents and their relatives like family. Mum had a difficult end and I will be forever grateful for the care and attention they gave not only to her
but to me too. It was a great comfort to know she had been looked after by such lovely people.

My mother was here for respite for the last two weeks prior to this, she’s been several different care homes but this one is by far the best. Staff and manager are lovely and very helpful and is a pleasure to be in a nice home and our family are very happy with the care that is provided. Will recommend
and will continue to use your respite in the future. Thanks for everything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have just returned home after spending one week of respite here. I found the entire experience very enjoyable. I found all the staff friendly, caring very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. My room was spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Common areas were very comfortable,
light and airy. Meal times were my favourite! Food was lovely and had a varied menu. The cake was the best, I love cake.
I recommend this home, I will be returning myself in future for more respite.
Once again, I found the entire team great, and for that, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

My mother came to Amber Court after her bungalow was flooded in a storm, for the short term. The home is very clean, friendly and welcoming. all the staff are very helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The bedrooms are large and nicely decorated and warm.


The dining room and lounge area

is also very welcoming and warm. Overall the home is very nice and I would recommend it.

The staff always made us welcome and Dad was happy there. He moved there from another home and the difference was amazing.
His room was light and bright and we were able to bring personal items in to make the room more like 'home'.
The staff were always helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Sadly
our dad passed away on Friday and the staff were very supportive of the whole family.

My mother spent 14 months in Amber Court Care Home but sadly died on 9/10/17. The staff always made us feel welcome and my father was able to spend Xmas day with her. She was always clean and cared for and when she died, I was able to be with her. The staff on duty were caring and supporting and mum
died with dignity, care and love.

My mother was recently in the Amber Court Nursing Home, Blackpool for a short period for end of life care. I can't give the manager and her well trained staff enough praise for the professional way they handled the situation.
My mother was given the respect and dignity she deserved in the last hours
of her life, for that I will be forever grateful.
Sincere thanks.

My dad was only in Amber Court Care Home for only one week, but in that time everyone was so kind to him and my family. The staff work very hard as a team and management are part of this team and very hands on, which is refreshing in this day and age. My family would highly recommend this care/nursing
home.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.543)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.543) out of 10 for Amber Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.543 for Amber Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.543
  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 Amber Court Care Home is based on 12 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
