When my sister and I were viewing potential care homes for our father, we immediately knew that Pavilion Court was the right one which would meet the needs to offer care for our father due to the professionalism and personal touch displayed. Although our father has been in the care home for 24 hours
we have seen an improvement already and cannot recommend the care and attention already received and given.

Having the unfortunate need to place my Mam in nursing care (although she is quite able but forgets to eat and drink) I shopped around visited many on spec and read the CQC reports I decided on Pavilion Court despite their CQC report being not so good the feeling and the welcome I got when I visited
the home made me choose it, it just felt right, i'm sure you all know that feeling when you walk into somewhere and it feels right!. The first room she was in was lovely and had an alarmed door into the garden however my Mam kept opening the door and setting the alarm off so without any fuss the staff helped me move my Mam into another room at my request where she settled lovely...however after few weeks I decided it was a bit quiet after one of my Mams friends moved out so I changed my Mam into another home with my Mams involvement, but after 5 days for various reasons she wasn't happy and couldn't settle and her behaviour at times was challenging according to the staff in the new place! I rang Pavilion where my Mams behaviour was often the same but they seemed to be able to deal with it and calm her down and asked could I possibly take her back to live there. I have to commend the staff and most of all the new manageress in Pavilion Court for making this traumatic time run smoothly for my Mam and my family the manageress was highly recommended by a social worker I spoke to as being brilliant at her job of turning the negative into positive. You can make cups of tea and eat biscuits in their hall or your room any time you visit,they are a very friendly bunch of carers and it's true they are there for the family's too. I could go on but obviously got to stop somewhere, in this instance the CQC report doesn't do Pavilion Court justice , go on personal experience. Obviously everywhere has their good staff and some not so good just as some have good days and bad days but when I go into Pavilion Court it's like going home as far as feeling we belong there.

Reply from Vicki Burden, PA to Operations Director at Pavilion Court

We would like to thank this lady very much for taking the time to give Pavilion Court such a glowing review. We have noticed, however, that her opinion of the activities in the home is poor. We like to use all comments constructively and would like to suggest that these opinions are discussed with the Home Manager who will be happy to hear them. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.321)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.321) out of 10 for Pavilion Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.321 for Pavilion Court is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 209 Ratings = 4.321

  • b) 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 Pavilion Court is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
