Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Connaught Court: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.6 (maximum of 10) for Connaught Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 103 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Connaught Court in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 46 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.618 for Connaught Court is calculated as follows: ( (818 Excellents x 5) + (344 Goods x 4) + (55 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 1221 Ratings = 4.618
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Connaught Court is based on 46 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 18 positive Reviews (90 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 46 Reviews ÷ 18 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Connaught Court has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.618) from 103 Reviews
Review submitted from a Postal Card by D G (Resident) on Tuesday 27 February 2018. Relates to February 2018.
Friendly and welcoming to all comers. The ambience of the home is familiar and greatly helped by the staff.
In a large home, there is inevitably a waiting time between calling for care staff and their arrival. Call system is always available.
The quality of meals and punctuality is good and a couple of changes are always welcome. Entertainment is provided for residents but films are shown too frequently.
A chapel is part of the building and well used on an individual basis.

Connaught Court is very welcoming and is tastefully decorated, all areas are fit for purpose and look very comfortable. The staff are attentive, kind and very approachable. They treat my mum with dignity and respect and consult very well with family members, including them in mum's plan of care. The staff treat mum with kindness at all times. The reception staff are welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

Connaught Court York has been designated the best care home in the country and I would say it is living up to its name.
The management and staff are always helpful and friendly to everyone.
The entertainment is good. My wife passed away on 16th January 2018.

Mum moved into the dementia wing at Connaught Court and her care has been really good. The staff soon got to know her likes and dislikes and strengths and weaknesses. The staff are always willing to go the extra mile. Her care when in the residential wing was average as mum did not get the support she needed. Not a criticism more a build for others at this early dementia stage as more help is needed.

We visit our friend regularly. The care provided is excellent our friend has settled and joins in the many activities. We usually stay to lunch well-presented food and a warm welcoming dining room. All areas are so warm and welcoming. There are facilities for coffee and biscuits, the staff are so welcoming and remember our names. We have been a visitor for 18 months it is a care home we would choose if we could afford it.

Prior to Mum coming to live here, she was in another nursing home and very unhappy. Although Mum has only been a resident for 9 days here we are very impressed as to what the care home staff have managed to achieve in such a short space of time. Mum is happy and seems to be eating a lot better. Her personal care needs seem well met, including having her hair washed and set for the first time in 2 1/2 years. The staff have been able to encourage social interaction and, again, for the first time in 2 1/2years she is out of bed and interacting socially. Overall, our impression of the care and attention to detail of the staff is highly commendable.

My father is extremely happy at Connaught Court. They try to give him the support to be independent. The staff are all very caring and look for areas and suggest to me things he needs. They are very proactive. The house has become his home. I would recommend highly Connaught Court York.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by J D (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 5 July 2017. Relates to June 2017.
The home is clean and personnel friendly. I find the decor of Mum's room to be a little on the drab side, personally I would have thought that a brighter decor would be more appropriate.
Whilst participation is very much down to residents, I would have hoped for more emphasis on availability of activities - a daily film perhaps is not overly difficult to provide? Maybe involvement in flower arranging for use throughout the home??
Mum has been less than complimentary about the food standard - I would add, however, that my personal experience of a midday meal was that it was very good, I am not convinced that Mum's view is the norm! - maybe a reaction to no longer providing meals for herself.

I am very happy here because it is like being in your own home but with the knowledge that if I need help in any way, it is here for me. The meals are excellent - 3 great meals a day, plus coffee time with snack. I am surrounded by kind and friendly people all the time. We have a wonderful garden to enjoy. We are entertained and have lots of opportunities to make friends so one never feels lonely!

My mother has been a resident for two years and recently had to move to the dementia wing.
The move was handled very sensitively. The staff are very attentive and friendly, taking time with each resident to engage and interact/stimulate them. Activities are good and outside visits and walks valued and are key memories for mum.

My mother moved into Connaught Court five years ago to be with my father who needed nursing care there. My father's last year was much enhanced by the care and support he found there. After his death, mum stayed on and has a wide circle of friends and enjoys all of the entertainment and outings that are provided, so she is never lonely or bored. Staff are invariably helpful and supportive and all facilities and rooms are clean and well furnished. Overall, we have been delighted and have no regrets or worries.

My family's history with Connaught Court is in two parts: my mother-in-law came to live in our 'granny flat', supported by a daily visit from the council social services. Her needs were monitored over 3 years until she needed residential care and she died in Connaught Court in 2004. My mother followed the same pattern and has been at Connaught Court for 3 years. What impresses us most is that the service has remained consistently good in 20 years.

My mother in law moved into Connaught Court in March and we could not be happier with the care and attention she has received. She is almost 100 years old and has settled in so well to her new surroundings.
She joins in with activities and thoroughly enjoys the company of the other residents. As a family, we are so happy to know that she is safe and well cared for.

Connaught Court is very simply the best of its type. Having elderly infirm relatives in both Scotland and Yorkshire we've looked at countless of homes for our family.
Walking into Connaught Court the first time was such a pleasant surprise. After visits to dark, smelly places with chairs around the walls and board residents. Well done!

Lovely care home, so pleased mum is here.
She has been here for over 2 years. She is able to maintain her independence in a dignified manner and the staff are always on hand to give her caring support. Her room is very comfortable with things from our family home. They have activities on which she is able to join in with but there is no pressure if she wants a quiet time. Yes, I am very impressed and think it's a lovely place for mum to live.

My relative has been a resident in the Knavesmire Unit for 10 months. Throughout that period we have found the standard of care very high. The staff are professional and efficient and he wants for nothing. They work particularly hard to create a warm and friendly atmosphere, in which they succeed and go about their jobs in an open and good-humoured way. We are also pleased with the regularity of entertainment laid on for the residents and the surroundings are pleasant and as homely as possible. Our one niggle was the poor handling of our (initial) application process which could have been done with greater care and consideration.

Connaught Court is doing a very good job looking after my mother. She is very happy and she feels safe and secure. She also comments quite often on how good the meals are. It is noticeable that having good regular contact the staff and residents is very much better than trying to live alone even with some domestic help. The only possible improvement would be perhaps some more qualified nursing staff occasionally present to address medical concerns.

Victoria Wilson, Home Manager at Connaught Court responded to this review on 10 May 2017:
At the RMBI we provide person centred care to all our residents, accommodating their personal wishes as much as possible. Our rooms all have a standard size, that allows residents to have personal space and also to add their own furniture if they wish to do so. If you have any particular concerns, please speak to the Home Management.

I find it absolutely excellent the only trouble was the night staff but the management have sorted that out.
That is the only complaint I had otherwise this place is absolutely excellent to me. It does everything for me.

My mother has dementia and the care she receives at Connaught Court is very good. She has very specific care needs and the team at Connaught is currently constructing a plan to meet those needs and to ensure her mental and physical wellbeing are always considered. As a family, we are closely involved in her care and this is actively encouraged by Connaught. Any concerns we may have are quickly addressed and solutions found wherever possible.

Although I am still active, I don't regret making the decision to become a resident here in Connaught Court, knowing full well when the time comes when I need help, I couldn't find a better place to ask and receive it. From managers, carers and staff, nothing is too much trouble to make the residents life as comfortable as possible. The catering staff, from the chef to the serving girls couldn't be better and as I say to my friends and family - like living in a 5-star hotel.

My grandad has said he has not regretted his move to Connaught Court for a second. He likens it to a 5-star hotel and knowing that my grandad has stayed in hotels all over the world, I know this means he is extremely happy. I feel the staff go the extra mile, are always smiling and treat him with repect and wonderful friendliness. Thank you.

My father particularly appreciates the space available to him here. As a wheelchair user, it is excellent to be able to get around so easily and to have access to roam.
Although originally he very much enjoyed the food available he now considers it poor. He has been a resident for a year so has maybe grown tired of what is available.
Any concerns raised are dealt with promptly and well with the responsive management. It is a pleasure to visit.

I recently joined my wife here where she had been a resident since last April. She needs much more attention than myself but I am pleased that a place in the main area of the home has allowed me to help my wife's condition stabilise. I have settled in the main part of the home and enjoying its food and activities - instead of trying to cope "on my own". Both of us try to get out into the grounds as much as possible - they are very good.

Difficult to find the superlatives to describe the excellence of Connaught Court. Perhaps to each category, how do they do it?
Answer: - Generous staffing levels, superb leadership with training and a keen-eyed selection of very nice people - well done!
A minor criticism: - Library inadequate for population, a small gymnasium needed, better lighting in rooms for failing eyesights.

Following Mum's move into Connaught Court, she has settled in very easily. She is well looked after by the care staff dealing with her medical needs. She is well fed with a good choice of menu. The overall home is light and airy with a variable activity list. Overall, a very good home and a credit to the management and staff.

This is a very special home situated in lovely surroundings of well-kept gardens and within easy reach of the local surgery to which, if needed, a carer will take you by wheelchair. All staff, whether management, carers or maintenance help willingly.
I would like to commend especially, the people who serve in the dining room who do their job truly graciously which contributes to a peaceful and restful atmosphere.

I came here after my husband does two years ago and find it a very comfortable place. Both the catering staff and the "helping" staff are very friendly and do all they can to make life easier in my old age. There are plenty of activities to join in and we are asked to volunteer if we can help. The food is very good - not quite as good as my own cooking but that's not to be expected. On the whole, everything is very good.

My room is more than adequate. I have a nice view from my window of open parkland and mature trees. Reception is handled by friendly and knowledgeable staff. The food is good and the menu repeats over a three week period. I particularly enjoy breakfast. The staff on Knavesmire are friendly and sympathetic. I am concerned that another resident often enters my room without my permission.

I have very few reasons to complain about the care here. Before coming to Connaught Court I had a short time in another care home in York. It was nothing like as comfortable as Connaught Court in every way, and it was more expensive!

My mother is always clean, warm, fed well and on most days has a smile which is everything I could wish for.
The whole atmosphere is welcoming, warm and friendly on every visit. The buildings and rooms are immaculate. Food is hot and looks tasty.
My only negative is (and its not very often) that I see more staff in the office than on 'the floor'

Connaught Court is a well run care home. Staff at all levels are knowledgeable, considerate and caring. The environment is very good - clean, well maintained and comfortable. There are well thought out public areas - lounges, balconies, conservatory, gardens - especially after the make-over in January 2016.
There are frequent events and exercises for residents with a wide-ranging and full events programme. Food is good with flexibility to have it in one of two dining rooms or in private rooms.

My husband and I were on the waiting list at Connaught Court and when he suddenly died in November 1015, I was very soon offered accommodation. I was extremely lucky and I love the room I am now in. Comfy, cosy and nice view from the window. The staff are perfect in every way, so kind and helpful form those in charge through to workmen and cleanliness. The food is extremely food and most enjoyable. Every where is beautifully clean. I would recommend Connaught Court to everyone and thank god I'm here where I feel safe a cared for.

My mum has dementia and often doesn't recognise me as I can only visit infrequently as I live in the USA. I am always really impressed with how caring, patient and cheerful all the staff are and how well cared for and loved my mother is. She has had some health issues (she's 95!) and the team work hard to make her as comfortable as possible and back to an even keel, or as even as can be managed. I am just simply highly impressed with the standard of the accommodation and the care and attention my mother receives.

There is always a lovely atmosphere here - calm, welcoming, happy and friendly. The premises are always clean, smart, nicely furnished and comfortable. Tea, coffee and biscuits are always available at various venues within the building. As well as a main lounge there is a choice of smaller communal areas indoors and outside. The grounds and gardens are maintained to a high standard and are readily accessible. Regular activities are well attended. The managers are very approachable and friendly, all the staff smile. They all know my mother and all the other residents by name. Everyone takes time to have a word or two - it feels just like a large family.

My father was a resident taken in at very short notice. He was very ill and rallied within a couple of weeks. He settled in the home and was contented there. Staff were friendly and helpful always. The room could have done with redecoration but on the whole we were very satisfied with his care. He died earlier this year. Some staff even came to his funeral service.

I have always found the staff considerate and friendly. The premises are clean and well cared for. Currently there is building work going on which does not add to the attractiveness. We have used Connaught Court both with family and friends and found it a wonderful environment. Today we have called to see an old and dear friend and found him happy and very well cared for.

We love the atmosphere and the fact that there are animals about the place as my mother loves dogs. We feel happy that she is well looked after and in a safe environment. We have confidence in the staff.

Amazing caring environment, specially adapted to dementia patients. On site hairdresser to do hair for both ladies and gents who is fantastic with all residents. Mum is treated with dignity and love at all times and in 3 years I have never had any issues or cause for concern. My family and I thank our lucky stars every day that mum is able to be here and are eternally grateful to every single staff member.

My parents moved to Connaught Court last year and it has given them a new lease of life! The care they experience is outstanding and the staff cannot do enough for them. The environment is beautiful and I am always impressed by and amused by all the decanters of sherry everywhere - except there are never any glasses when I am passing! There is a varied programme of entertainment and plenty of stimuli, particularly for my dad who enjoys having other men to talk to.

This residential home is excellent in every respect. The accommodation is comfortable, the staff are very caring, friendly and respectful. Requests are dealt with promptly, entertainment and activities are provided. Residents sit where they like in the lounges and form small friendly groups as they as they wish, often sharing a glass of sherry (provided free by 'the friends of Connaught Court') Services are provided in the chapel.
