Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother received excellent and personal care at Chichester Court Care Home. The staff have developed a relationship with her and she is always treated with dignity and respect. They are also understanding and helpful whenever we visit as we don't live locally. There are a wide range of activities
available for residents, my mother is particularly fond of animal visits. A good system of video calls was put in place during the pandemic, showing how management is able to adapt to circumstances. My mother was kept safe during that time.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother, aged 84, was admitted to Chichester Court Care Home on 8th June 2022. It was initially for two weeks respite. It became clear that it was going to be permanent. Her health deteriorated very quickly and she sadly passed away on 11th September. The care home - Chichester Court was amazing.
The nurses and care workers really looked after Mam, two members of staff were there when she passed. Lovely home and very kind staff, much appreciated.

At first, I was unsure about my wife in a nursing home but I can see my wife has settled well. The staff understand my wife's needs and deal with them in a professional manner. Management always take time to listen to any issues I may have concerning my wife. I also get regular phone calls keeping up
to date with what's happening with my wife.
This gives me peace of mind.

My mother has been a resident for just over a month. We have been very pleased to see the high level of care she has received and this is reflected by her mood and appearance. All staff have been helpful and none have ever looked harassed! It is always hard for someone to leave a home where they have
lived most of their life but I can see my mother is enjoying being looked after and not having to worry.

Review from D W (Son of Resident) published on 1 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came into Chichester Court Care Home back in October 2021, he initially went in as respite care but due to complications in his mental health he’s been admitted by us full-time. The staff fully understand his needs and are so patient with him when he has an episode, the team on a whole are
so caring and understanding with him, they do their best to keep him happy, he gets on with all the staff even on a bad day. The residents mostly seem good, talk and make him feel at home if they can. We chose Chichester Court due to the fact it is both EMI residential and EMI nursing as it would be ideal for my father if he should need nursing care as it means he doesn’t have to be moved which would only add more disruption to his needs. The staff can’t do enough for us, always around to answer any questions and concerns we have.
Overall it’s a good place for my father and his needs and that’s the main thing for us.
Only issue is decor but they’re in the middle of decorating the rooms at the moment.

Review from Adrienne A (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 November 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad has been part of the Chichester Court Care Home family now for sixteen months. I say family as that's the sense I feel when I visit my dad. We have been made to feel so welcome at every visit by the manager and her amazing staff. Thank you all. It's been quite a stressful year and it was so difficult
when Dad had to go into care but I feel a sense of relief that he is in the best of hands. He is always smartly dressed, clean-shaven and his hair is always neat. My dad has always taken pride in his appearance so it's lovely to see my lovely dad looking as smart and handsome as ever. So thank you again to the manager and your amazing staff who work tirelessly to look after our loved ones. You're all amazing.

Although Mum was at Chichester Court Care Home for a short time, she was made to feel safe, comfortable and at home. The management, nurses, carers, staff (and handyman) could not have been more helpful and supportive to Mum, myself and family in Mum's last few weeks. I can't thank them enough.
I would
have no hesitation in recommending Chichester Court Care Home.

Rooms in need of redecorating soon. The staff are all very helpful and caring. My father has no complaints with the meals provided and has gained a little weight since arriving at Chichester Court which is good news. Although we do not want to see our father in care but have no choice due to his needs,
Chichester Court is certainly looking after him adequately.

My dad was moved into Chichester Court Care Home four weeks ago. Although I was very hesitant at first, Dad seems to have settled in well.
My only criticism would be that residents are dressed in other residents' clothes which is unsettling and undignified. I have gone through Dad's clothes and put
his room number in. Other than that everything seems to be going ok.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has been at Chichester Court Care Home for over five years now and has been very well looked after and cared for - the staff love him and have a close relationship with him which has been much appreciated by all of our family. This has been an absolutely dreadful year due to Covid-19 but we
have been kept well informed about my father, and my mother has been able to visit when permitted to do so. The staff have been extremely kind and helpful to my mother as well which has helped her tremendously. Everyone has had to abide by the strict rules and regulations set in place but it is a small price to pay in order to be able to see my father in person once again. I have to say that it is not only the carers and the nursing staff who are so very kind and loving but the staff behind the scenes in the office and administration are superb. I have had to contact them more regularly than normal during Covid and their help, kindness and communication has been amazing.

Staff go out of their way to help. Care reviews take place every month. There is a doctor visit every week that deals with issues that arise and there is always an RMN on each shift. The only thing lacking us there is no activities coordinator so activities are non-existent at the moment. They have
dealt well with COVID.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.757)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.757) out of 10 for Chichester Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.757 for Chichester Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (146 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.757
  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 Chichester Court Care Home 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:

    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 16 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.
