Review from Paul H (Son of Resident) published on 27 September 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I saw about 17 care homes before I visited Charlton Court.
I couldn't believe my luck when I found it. The first thing that struck me was the lack of smell. I was very impressed from the first moment. The care is excellent. The attitude of both the carers and management is very impressive.
No one
wishes to see a parent having to go into a home but I couldn't be happier. My mother is well looked after, well fed and very safe. And it wasn't the most expensive! Well done Charlton Court.

Review from Moira Y (Niece of Resident) published on 8 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My uncle was admitted to Charlton Court to recuperate after breaking his hip in a fall. The staff were warm and friendly from the very start, dealing with his initial fear and anger extremely well. Within days, he was settled and started to engage with staff and other residents. After a few months,
he was discharged home a different man, happier and healthier. Charlton Court is a very cosy and welcoming place, not only for the residents but for the family too.
I can't recommend the home and staff highly enough.

My uncle spent almost 3 months here following a hospital admission for a hip fracture. He received excellent care, kindness and support, despite his initial reluctance and he quickly developed a respect and fondness for his carers and much appreciated their help.
We were also grateful for the staff's
patience and care of our uncle and we were always met with great friendliness when we visited.

Review from Paula A (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother was cared for at Charlton Court for only a few weeks before she died in November 2016.
However, in that short time, though she was very poorly and didn't have long to live, the warmth, care and support offered to her and to our family was wonderful.
My Mother was very impressed with the
staff team, telling us that she felt safe and well cared for, and we witnessed directly on lots of occasions the extra lengths the staff went to give her comfort and to encourage her to eat and drink.
During this very difficult time, their compassion and kindness meant so much.

Review from Cath R (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 August 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum required nursing care following a discharge from the hospital. Charlton Court was able to meet her needs. Mum settled in immediately as the Court was so homely and all staff welcoming and friendly. The care provided I could not fault. From being a lady who needed a lot of coaxing, she soon joined
in the many activities and entertainment. Towards the end of her life, the palliative care was given professionally and tenderly. The staff treated mum with respect and dignity. Nothing was too much trouble. I thank them all for giving mum such care.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother entered Charlton Court just over a year ago straight from hospital, a very ill lady indeed. She has just celebrated her 100th birthday and friends and relatives are amazed at how well she is doing, and how nice the home is. My mother is articulate and she is content. She thinks all of the
staff are lovely and look after her well. I couldn't be happier knowing she is in good hands.

Review from D B (Husband of Resident) published on 23 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was an emergency admission. From the start she was treated with kindness and dignity and was always talked to in kindly (and not too loud) tones. The staff took an interest in her past and also her current welfare and always treated her as an individual - even someone they might like as a friend.
Her medical and physical were always promptly dealt with - without any fuss. In total, her last few weeks and days were clam, happy and full of friendship. The staff also dealt with relatives on an excellently friendly basis. Access for them was always easy and they were kept fully formed. Well done.

Thank you for the excellent care you provided in the final months of my mother's life. Staff were all excellent, and in particular one member of staff who helped to make mum's last three months comfortable.

Care provided at Charlton Court is excellent. My mother was treated with respect and dignity at all times. Care of frail elderly people is their speciality and all the staff are friendly and very caring. People go the extra mile to make residents feel supported, cared for and respected. The medical
team are great. I want to say a heartfelt thank you to all the staff you do a great job.

Current Review Score: 8.1 (8.142)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.1 (8.142) out of 10 for Charlton Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 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 3.806 for Charlton Court is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (19 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 103 Ratings = 3.806
  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 4.336 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Charlton Court 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11 = 0.636
  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.
