I feel you get personal care as a family member, I feel I belong as a family. I do not go home and get upset; I completely trust my family being in this family environment. They do the best they can. Totally 100%.

My mother has been a resident in Ayresome Court for over a year now. The care has been excellent. What makes it so special is the staff, from the manager, receptionist, catering staff, carers, nurses, cleaning staff and handyman. Everyone is caring, kind, patient and professional. They do a great job
with a smile and cheerfulness. They work so hard and I would like to give them a big thank you. My mother is cared for so well, treated with dignity, kept clean and nursed if unwell. I am delighted with the care my mother receives.

Initially this was intended to be respite care but my wife deteriorated beyond my care capacity and remained a resident. The home has always been very accommodating and helpful, one minor niggle was dealt with promptly and could not be faulted.

My stepfather has been in Ayresome Court Nursing Home for end-of-life care. He passed away at the beginning of December, he was treated with dignity and respect, the staff did not just do their job, they genuinely cared and took it personally as if it was their family. Thank you.

From the very moment we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome. We were put at ease and told that my Mother-in-law would be well looked after. After 2 weeks we have been assured that she will be. A very nice and caring staff and a lovely place.

My brother's last days in Ayresome Court were lovely for us as a family. He was treated with dignity and respect, even after his passing.
His earlier visit for respite was also very good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our family could not have been happier with the excellent care our mum received during her time in Ayresome Court, Yarm. Every single member of staff went out of their way to make her comfortable and they treated her with care, respect and kindness. They made us very welcome every time we visited and
nothing was too much trouble for them. Sadly Mum died after being there only a week and the staff were incredibly kind and compassionate towards our family.
The building is very welcoming, clean, warm and comfortable. We would recommend Ayresome Court wholeheartedly.
Many thanks.

I'm very impressed with the level of care, compassion and kindness that all the staff have given to my uncle and our family.
My uncle is in the final few days of his life and I really don't think he could have received any better care, and it's been very much appreciated!

My husband has settled into the home, he finds the staff very caring and professional. The only concern was yesterday morning 26th Jan when he had to wait far too long for his pain relief. Other than that we are very happy with his care and excellent staff.

Dad came here from hospital after being in there for three weeks for end-of-life care. All of the staff from the cleaners, care workers etc. have been nothing short of amazing. They are treating Dad with a great deal of care and respect. I would specifically like to point out one of your care workers.
I say a huge thank you to her for the care that she gives.

Review from James E (Son of Resident) published on 6 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum received exceptional care from all medical, care, admin and support staff throughout a 2 month period of palliative care for cancer from September 2023. Sadly, she passed away in November 2023. We will always be extremely grateful to everyone at Ayresome Court who, without exception, went out
of their way to make my mum’s stay as comfortable as it could possibly be. In what were obviously difficult circumstances for us, we can honestly say it was a privilege to witness such remarkable compassion and instinct to care for others, from all of the staff, at every level. We cannot praise the teams at Ayresome Court highly enough and have no hesitation in highly recommending their services. They were outstanding! Our heartfelt thanks go out to everyone involved.

I would like to commend the way the staff and one member of the nursing team in particular coped with the end of life of my father-in-law in very difficult circumstances. Nothing but kindness and care was shown at the time to him and the whole family and in particular to his widowed wife the next day
who is also a resident. Thank you all for your ongoing support.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.774)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) out of 10 for Ayresome Court Nursing 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.774 for Ayresome Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (247 Excellents x 5) + (63 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 314 Ratings = 4.774
  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 Ayresome Court Nursing Home is based on 28 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
