Review from Wendy C (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is a resident at Amber Court and has been receiving end-of-life care which has been exceptional.
The staff and management have been very sensitive and looked after my mother and her family and friends.
I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for care.
It was over and
above any other care my mother received in her six months of illness.
Will always remember the kindness.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been here 5 years and under the circumstances, we couldn't have asked for better care. Amber Court has helped us as a family to accept what had happened to mum and supported us as well as mum. The staff have been like a second family and have gone above and beyond taking time to build a relationship
with us all. Mum has improved massively during her time here and we are so so grateful for everything. Past staff and current staff thank you all so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We feel that the service my wife received from Amber Court Care Home could not have been better.
From the manager down, all who dealt with her gave 110 percent service both to my wife and all relatives who visited.
In all things, we could fully recommend the care home with no doubt at all.
She was
only there a short time but in all things was treated with respect and dignity.
Thank you once again.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father was only living in Amber Court for 10 days before he died, but during his short time there the service and treatment was exemplary.
He needed privacy, comfort and dignity, that was delivered in spades by Amber Court. They were absolutely fantastic.

Dad was looked after very well at Amber Court Care Home and treated with respect. He made friends with most of the staff and he was well liked. Could not have lived in a better home.

My mother was only in the home for 4 weeks but had excellent care and treatment right up to her death. I and my two brothers all thought everything was excellent.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Well my sister-in-law was unable to tend to herself anymore and the staff made her so welcome, she said I don't know why I didn't come sooner. She has been in hospital a couple of times, they visited her and when she came back. They looked after her, her meals in her room. As I visit a lot I see the
care the staff take of all the people.

Review from Craig H (Son of Resident) published on 25 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother spent her final 3 months at Amber Court. Out of all of the homes we visited, Amber Court stood head and shoulders above the rest. I have nothing but praise for all of the staff here. They were friendly, caring, considerate and compassionate towards my mother and the family. During her final
weeks, the staff ensured she received the best care possible, nothing was too much trouble for them. Although my mother has now passed away, I am so grateful for the short time she spent at Amber Court. On days where we were unable to visit, it was good to know that she was in excellent hands. Mum always had kind words for all of the staff. They made her feel welcome and more importantly, treated her like a real person, not just a resident. We all feel extremely lucky that we managed to get my mum a room here, and I will be grateful for all that the staff did for us for the rest of my life. Amber Court and all of the staff cannot be praised enough. Thank you for everything you have done.

Review from C S (Resident) published on 5 January 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Amber Court at very friendly and efficient, although it has to be said that some are better than others with regard to residents privacy. The catering is very good, the food is hot and tasty with choices for both lunch and tea. The timing of meals could be better; breakfast is at 9.00AM,
lunch 12.00PM noon and tea is 4.00PM. The gap between breakfast and tea is too long.

My daughter has special needs so I was very apprehensive about her living anywhere but home, but she has settled well and is happy. This is important to us. We feel we have been very lucky to have found this place it is next best thing to home.

Since moving into Amber Court staff have made sure I am well looked after and I have everything I need. I enjoy the shows the home put on and the trip to the zoo and round the lights.

Everyone at the care home has been most helpful and supportive and really good with my daughter who has downs syndrome and can be difficult to understand at times, she has settled in well and seems quite happy which is very important at this difficult time. It has proven to be the next best place to
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.
