Review from Linda J (Sister of Resident) published on 3 January 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have always found the staff, from management down, to be helpful, caring and make the residents' families feel likes it's home from home.


Their dedication and care towards the residents is second to none.


I would recommend this home to anyone who is looking for a home for three loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
While my husband was in Falstone Court to the day he passed, it was simply peace of mind, knowing the care he received.
From management to staff were very caring, nothing was a problem. They kept in touch even when I couldn't go.
My husband needed twenty-four-hour care and it was done with dignity.
The staff were very happy and homely. They are very hard working, with a smile.

All staff in Falstone Court are very caring and loving to all residents, all the family know she gets well looked after and know we can rest in our beds at night. Staff and activities are great. I would recommend anyone who has a mother or father to get cared for by Falstone Court.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My dad has been in this home for approximately 6 months and I have to admit the care he receives is fantastic.
We are currently at the home where they are holding a tropical beach party where the residents are having a great time dancing and singing. It helps to forget the reality of dementia when
you see happy people and all the staff dancing with them.
The staff are absolutely fantastic they treat the residents and their family as they call them with affection and respect.

My dad spent the last 5 months of his life here, only wish we have is when dad needed 24-hour care 3 yrs ago, he came here first. The last 5 mths he was like our dad and was so happy here until he sadly passed away. We as a family have nothing but praise for the carers, nursing staff and management

Review from Hilary S (Stepdaughter of Resident) published on 9 January 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff were first rate and the quality of care received by my step - father was exemplary. He was much better looked after than when in hospital. We could not fault the nursing home for the care, dignity and respect given to my step - father, nor the kindness shown to us whilst visiting him during
his final days. We were so pleased we chose this home. With grateful thanks.

The care my dad has been shown from day one, has been excellent. The rooms and food are of a very good standard all his dietary needs are well catered for. He is in very good health at present, considering. Staff at the home are always welcoming to relatives and show excellent care and attention to
each resident individually and in groups. I could not ask for better.

Review from Claire R (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My father was admitted to Falstone Court for Continual Health Care with a registered mental nurse due to Altzheimers disease. 3 years later and there is no registered mental nurse, but 1 registered general nurse for 41 residents and 1 senior care worker (nursing assistant). The carers are friendly,
helpful, courteous to the residents and their family. Good cuisine but no activity co-ordinator. I have been waiting for a while.
Reply from HC-One, Careline Team at Falstone Court Care Home

We have listened to your concerns and we can reassure you that a Registered Mental Nurse or a General Nurse with relevant Mental Health experience is on duty 24 hours per day. The home manager is also a Registered Mental Health Nurse. We have also recently appointed an activities coordinator who is now in post and making a significant improvement to the social activities.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.984)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.984) out of 10 for Falstone Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 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 26 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 4.984 for Falstone Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (306 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.984
  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 Falstone Court Care Home is based on 26 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 26 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.
