* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.8 (maximum of 10) for Ayresome Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 52 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Ayresome Court Nursing Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.773 for Ayresome Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (499 Excellents x 5) + (107 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 622 Ratings = 4.773
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Ayresome Court Nursing Home is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 8.6 positive Reviews (43 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 28 Reviews ÷ 8.6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

From my very first visit, when I called to inquire about a place for my Mum I was met by friendly and informative staff. When my Mum moved into the home she was greeted by friendly staff who made her feel welcome. It is the caring and cheerful staff which make this home so special. I know my Mum is safe and well cared for here.

My dad has been resident since May this year and has been hospitalised on a number of occasions and I have been kept well informed at all times with telephone calls giving me information and also asking how he is getting on.
The staff a the home have always been wonderful with him, especially when he has returned from hospital. He is made to feel very welcome on his return.
The home is lovely, it's like walking into a hotel and feels warm and welcoming. My dad loves the food and enjoys his regular cups of tea.
I had been worried about placing dad in a nursing home but Ayresome Court staff have been wonderful and helped my dad and myself to adjust to his situation without causing too much stress.
I would recommend the home to anyone wanting a safe, secure and caring environment for their loved ones to be looked after.

I found the staff to be extremely polite and caring to the residents. The general condition of the home is very good. Everywhere was clean and tidy. I would highly recommend this home to anyone else.
Before my mother was placed here I looked at several homes and they weren't a patch on this home. It makes me feel at ease knowing she's in good hands.

The first impression entering the home is more like a hotel, not an institution. It is light, airy and welcoming - well furnished, flowers, pictures etc.
Rooms are the same. Staff are welcoming, friendly, competent, efficient and well trained and qualified where required.
Staff are mostly from the local area and can relate well to the residents.
All staff know residents by name and understand them - their nature, needs etc.
There is obvious safeguarding, without too much intrusion.

My father was a resident in the home for 9 days. During his brief stay, I was at the home most days. I was very happy with the care my father received, he was treated with dignity and respect. The staff were always caring and patient. The home was kept clean and had a lovely secure garden for residents to sit in. Visitors are able to eat meals with residents in the dining room or in the private lounge. I would certainly recommend Ayresome Court Nursing Home as a nursing home and care home.

My Mother-in-law was received in the care as if she was a long-lost friend. I have observed that the staff are as pleasant and helpful as Angels.
From the manageress to the whole compliment of staff. Nothing is too much trouble, I hope if or when I have to go into a care home, the place I go to will be half as good. God bless all those Angels. It takes a certain type of person to look after the residence as they do.

Mum came to Ayresome Court after a hospital stay. The staff could not have been more welcoming. From the start, she was encouraged to mix socially (which she was not used to) and interact with other residents. Every day there was an activity, small (e.g crosswords, quiz questions) or large e.g singer, so there was always something to amuse or entertain. I can honestly say that Ayresome Court made her final days very enjoyable.

Because I visited my mother two or three times every day, I soon realised that the care she was receiving was of an excellent standard. I felt that both the manager and her staff were always caring, considerate and treated my mother with the utmost dignity,
I would not hesitate to recommend Ayresome Court to anyone who needed similar care.
The girls went out of their way to include mum in anything she showed interest in and they all work hard to provide entertainment for the residents.
I will always be grateful to all the staff for the care my mother received there.

I have to say that I and my family are absolutely delighted with the way my Mother-in-law was cared for at Ayresome Court Nursing Home- so much so that we recommended it to another member of the family and the recommendation was taken up.
My Mother-in-law was always treated with the utmost respect but cared for with love and humour. Her dignity was always preserved, she was included in any activities and events in which she showed an interest and she rarely did not have a member of staff with her. Either caring for her or joking and laughing with her.
She was nursed through several illnesses, with love and kindness, and we were kept abreast of the situation at all times by the staff.
From the first day to the last that she spent at Ayresome Court she was comfortable and able to relax and feel safe, which was a great relief for all of us.
The wonderful staff here are always friendly, respectful and always keen to "go the extra mile".

My sister was booked respite for 6 days. As she lived in B'ham was staying with her step-daughter who lived in Yarm. So I was worried about her and net sure of care homes to decided to book a few days there too to make sure all OK. How pleasantly surprised I was as I could not fault the staff. The care they gave her. Unfortunately, she died on 29th January whilst there. The love and respect she was given was second to none. The manager and staff went out of their way to help. I can't thank everyone enough.

The staff were very caring and accommodating. My mother was only there for a couple of weeks where she unfortunately passed away. The last couple of days when she took a turn for the worst, the carers on duty insisted and persisted on calling in doctors, who could not have been more helpful. My mother went from being agitated to passing away peacefully in her sleep with all her family around her.

Can't thank the manager and all of the staff, both carers and nursing staff who showed such care, consideration and compassion for my mom and all my family during the last days of her life. They made an extremely difficult and emotional time more bearable and we couldn't fault the care they provided.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Alan S (Resident) on Monday 11 January 2016. Relates to December 2015.
My father is a bed-ridden double-stroke victim, fully dependent on the care and nursing staff. thankfully they are all angels. My Father has been here for a year and I have not a single worry or complaint. Every member of staff is dedicated, very competent and cheerfully friendly. His daily care is always fully and carefully recorded, which helps me enormously as he cant speak clearly. The home is clean, bright and instills enormous confidence in me. I could not be more pleased with the staff's ability and dedication to caring for my 93 year old dad.

Mum has been in Ayresome Court for only a few weeks and we have been so pleased with how she has settled in. She found the transition to a care home difficult initially but the care and patience of the staff have helped mum to quickly settle. We have been informed frequently of the progress mum has made.

The care offered to mum is extremely good, she is treated with sensitivity and with real dignity and encouraged to get involved with the activities. She feels very safe and well looked after, which gives us peace of mind.

After visiting my mother in hospital for 8 weeks and rehab for 2 weeks and dreading seeing her continued weight loss. She has started to recover properly since she came to Ayresome Court in September. She has started to eat properly again and starts the day with a full cooked breakfast which definitely sets her up for the day!
I am once again able to enjoy visiting my mother without worrying about her. Activities are frequent and varied. The staff have bee really kind, caring and communication is excellent. One minor issue could be that sometimes there seems to be fewer staff on at the weekends.

As far as I can see my ex neighbour is very lucky to be here. The staff are all very committed to the care of all their residents and patients. Nothing is too much trouble, they are very approachable at all times.

Staff are very caring and nothing is too much trouble. When issues are raised the staff are very quick to deal with them. Residents are able to engage with others, or not as they so wish. When medical care is required it is quickly arranged.

My aunt was a resident in Ayresome Court for a few weeks at the end of her life. The care she received was exemplary. She was treated with care and dignity and was content and peaceful in the care she received. It was my observation that all the residents seemed very happy with a lovely family atmosphere. Every member of staff was lovely and a lot of them had worked here for a number of years.

The Ayresome Court Nursing Home was the 'home to my mother' for the last 6 months of her life. Our experience of this home for residential and nursing care was excellent in every respect, ie. staff in every part of the home were caring, attentive and dealt with the residents every need. I cannot thank the staff enough fort the attention and care of my mother.
