At Prince’s Court Care Home the staff pride themselves on giving visitors a warm and welcoming greeting when they arrive, whoever they are. That’s what you’d expect, because Prince’s Court is in North Shields, close to Newcastle and in the North East people are known for their friendliness and hospitality.

Staff at the home are very professional, committed and caring, and work hard to forge close relationships with residents, getting to know as much as possible the residents’ individual needs, their likes and dislikes – to really know and understand them. They do the same with their families and friends, who they encourage to visit and get involved in activities, as much as possible.

Regular resident meetings are held, where they discuss what’s happening in the home and every effort is made to get them to be part of the decision-making process and to be involved in the running of the home.

One of Prince's Court’s priorities is to enrich the residents’ lives, physically and mentally and so give them the best quality of life that they are able to enjoy, depending on their abilities. This can be as simple as having a chat, doing person

Review from Hazel B (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My elderly mother was transferred to Princes Court after a very traumatic couple of weeks following admission to the local hospital. She spent her final few days in room 28. The care she received in order to make her passing as dignified and pain-free as possible was exemplary. Also, the compassion
shown by staff, in particular, the deputy manager, the two male nurses who led the staff team overnight and the visiting female doctor could not be faulted. My sister and I are also extremely grateful for the caring and support we and the family received at this very difficult time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father lived at Princes Court for almost a year and passed away here a couple of days ago. The staff were compassionate and professional. I was a nurse and another family member is an NHS consultant: we know what excellent care is and that is what my father received at Princes Court. The whole
family are eternally grateful for that, thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home is outstanding. My mother was transferred to it for private care in the last 12 days of her life. Every member of staff, from cleaners to carers, to nurses to doctors were amazing. Caring, friendly, professional, sympathetic and genuine. Every member of staff was friendly, welcoming and
kind. This extended to every member of family who visited. I cannot praise this home highly enough. A big thank you.

Review from Julian E (Nephew of Resident) published on 31 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Recently a relative was transferred from hospital to Prince's Court for what turned out to be end of life care. She was too ill to use the facilities and was there for too short a time for me to comment properly on value for money - other than to say that the care given was priceless.
All the staff
I met were brilliant but I do have to mention the nursing staff in particular, who treated my aunt with such care and kindness. I was perfectly happy to go home for a few days (some 300 miles away) and not worry that she was being looked after. The staff managed her pain and obvious distress with great compassion but still managed to give relatives a few moments of quality time with her towards the end.
As relatives, we were also looked after - communication with relatives was excellent at all times.
I will always remember the nursing staff were as upset at losing a patient, as we were at losing an aunt.

Excellent care and facilities - residents and families are treat like one of the family. Excellent and approachable management and staff. Good activities programme with a growing residents and family committee which ensures that everything happening in the facility is discussed and agreed. I would highly
recommend to anyone looking for a stable, nurturing and safe residence for their loved ones.

Review from Denise W (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 December 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in Prince's Court as a patient on the palliative side for five months during this time mums care and support has been second to none. As well as caring for family members during this very upsetting time. The manager is first class and very hands on, she is totally approachable and I
feel able to talk to her about mums on going care. The carers are fantastic and work extremely hard providing extra support to us all. Standards of cleaning are first class and the rooms are cleaned regularly. Mum is treated with care and dignity and all her needs are met. First class home.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.709)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.709) out of 10 for Prince's Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.709 for Prince's Court is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (43 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 292 Ratings = 4.709
  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 Prince's Court is based on 24 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 24 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.
