We have been coming to this care home now for five months and we have no complaints whatsoever. The entire staff are friendly and helpful and always glad to see us. Whenever we need something for my mum, they are there straight away. It's like a second home. Carry on the good work. Excellent.

We have no concerns or worries with Mum residing at Southfield Court. The staff are compassionate and genuinely care.
I would recommend this home to anyone. Mum is as happy as she can be in her circumstances thanks to the excellent professional care she receives at Southfield Court. I was fortunate
to have Christmas dinner with them, the meal was fabulous.

My mum is very well cared for at Southfield Court. Her medical needs are fully met and GP is involved as required. The nursing team are very supportive. All staff are friendly and helpful and my mum likes them. She has been able to stay in her room which she really likes and it's maintained to a high
standard. Thank you.

My mum has been in this care home for over 5 years now. Whilst it has not always been a smooth ride, the arrival of the new manager and the the relatively stable staffing of the last couple of years have transformed the provision. Mum is happy and well cared for and the building and grounds are beautifully
maintained. I really value the support given to mum and all the family in ensuring that the best possible provision is maintained. I would strongly recommend this home to other families and service users.

Southfield Court Care Home is a warm and welcoming place where residents are treated with respect and dignity. The staff are dedicated to providing high-quality care, and they go above and beyond to make residents feel comfortable and at home.
The home is clean and well-maintained, and the facilities
are excellent. There is a wide range of activities available to residents, and they are encouraged to participate in whatever interests them.
I have been very impressed with the care that my mother has received at Southfield Court. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and they have made a real difference in her life. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for a place where their loved ones will be well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident at Southfield Court from June 24 until she passed away this month(November 24).
We had, had a terrible experience at a previous care home however, we moved her to Southfield and my mother became more settled and we saw her smile again.
The care home staff are fantastic and
all are dedicated to their roles. They are so caring and always make you feel welcome and part of the family of Southfield Court.
The home is relaxed and we felt my mother was safe and able to enjoy the last months of her life in peace due to the care she received until she passed away.
The staff were so caring and supportive when the end came and we cannot thank them all enough. We will never forget their kindness and empathy during my mother's time there.
Thank you to all at Southfield Court we will never forget you for all your care and peace of mind that you gave to my mother and ourselves as a family. We will miss you all!

Review from A B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having viewed a number of care homes as potential placements for my father-in-law, we felt quite deflated and were waiting for one to stand out as better than the rest, this was Southfield Court. Immediately from the outside, right the way through the environment had everything that you needed and nothing
you didn't, it was clean, pleasant, warm and welcoming.
We were greeted by one of the HCA's who was expecting us, her tour was thorough, she gave us all the information that we needed doing so in a clear and concise manner which felt to reflect a well-informed, friendly but professional staff team. We were encouraged to bring in items that personalised the room and on admission were greeted warmly by staff members on shift. My father-in-law settled quickly and was well cared for. The open and honest ethos of the home enabled me to raise easily a couple of concerns and was thanked for bringing these to the the nurse in charge's attention.

Southfield Court has been amazing at settling my mum in after an awful hospital stay. They are restoring my faith in health care. Mum is well cared for, and so far, her needs are all being met. I feel I can talk to the staff, and they listen to me.
Friendly staff who make time to care.
Please keep

The care home and staff are very welcoming, with a lovely welcome from the home manager and administrator to the housekeepers and care staff. Nothing is too much for anyone. All the team put you at ease in the worry times of entrusting your relatives or friends into their care. I would highly recommend.

I have found the staff, from management down to cleaners, to be very helpful and attentive. My wife came into Southfield Court requiring end-of-life care and nursing. She has received care to a high standard, sympathetic and professional. I have also been kept informed and given consideration at all
times. The staff have been excellent in helping me through a very difficult period.

My stepdad settled into the home very well. Everyone was kind and attentive, and we had exceptional care when he attended his wife's funeral. He's made some good progress since he came and is well and happy.

I want to say thank you to all at Southfield Court for looking after Mum so well. On my visits, she always looks clean, comfortable and well cared for. I feed her on my visits, and the food always smells and looks good and tasty. Mum eats it all up and says it was nice. Mum can be a bit difficult at
times, but the staff are very caring and handled her very well.

Staff are really lovely and friendly. The manager is particularly amenable to ensuring the stay went comfortably and smoothly, and any requests were met. Another member of staff was also a great help, be it medical or technical. Lovely place with extremely hard-working staff.

My wife was only there 25-days before she died on Xmas day. In my short experience, I was very impressed with the people side of the home. The staff and management were caring and considerate and treated the residents as individuals. They were prepared to listen to them. My wife was regarded as "end
of life" for her last week, and I was given unlimited access to her, which I appreciated.

I would not recommend this home, for a person who needs all care and is also palliative care. Too many issues to mention which have been addressed several times but have continued. You may as well be talking to fog.

My aunt moved into Southfield Court for a period of respite following a stay in hospital. She has now returned home feeling so much better, thanks to the wonderful care she received at Southfield Court. Everyone at the home was amazing at getting her back to good health, from admission, through to her
isolation period, and even a follow-up call from the home manager to ensure my auntie had settled in at home ok. I can’t thank the staff enough!

My father was only a resident for a short time, but we can see he is well cared for by the fantastic team. My family cannot thank them enough for the hard work and dedication they have shown to myself and my family. They made us feel at home when we visited. They will forever be a part of our family
also.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.349)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.349) out of 10 for Southfield Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 7 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 4.949 for Southfield Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 78 Ratings = 4.949
  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 4.4 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Southfield Court Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.7
  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.
