Great care is taken to meet the needs of residents and engage them to maintain their physical, professional and social independence within the limitations of their abilities.


Visitors are welcome 24/7 and staff are always happy and open in their approach.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I came here from Harrogate some 3 and a half years ago, which is the nearest Masonic home, having had poor news from my doctors, and as you can see from my ticks I am well satisfied, in fact I give talks when I attend a Lodge on the virtues of Connaught Court likening it to living in a 5 star hotel
which usually ends up with a collection of over a £100 donated to friends of Connaught Court.

My husband has been a resident of Connaught Court for three and a half years due to his very severe Alzheimer's Disease. I am extremely happy with his level of care. His condition has deteriorated to such that he needs 24hr specialist care, and that is very well provided by his carers.

My stay has been complicated by the need to move from basement to a temporary stay until the basement is upgraded.
Despite this unusual move, I am very well cared for whenever I am in the building by caring staff and beautiful surroundings.

Connaught Court is exceptionally pleasant, like a five-star hotel. The staff are kind and respectful. The beautiful grounds and summer house are accessible and well kept. Many rooms have showers.
The activity coordinators ensure there are plenty of entertainments, concerts, talks, quizzes and exercise
classes and poetry readings, all published in a printed leaflet each month.

It is a pleasure to walk into Connaught Court. The home has a warm atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and caring. There is a wide range of activities and the organisers take into consideration what the residents like to do. One can vary where to sit; in the conservatory, in areas off the corridors,
in the lounge, library and garden. It is reassuring to know that my friend is in good hands.

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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.896)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.896) out of 10 for Connaught Court 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.896 for Connaught Court is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 308 Ratings = 4.896
  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 Connaught Court is based on 25 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 94 registered maximum number of service users is 18.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
