Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Following the death of my father, I brought my mother from Somerset to Ayresome Court as she could not remain at home alone. I was impressed by the friendly welcome we received, and continued to be impressed by the care and attention my mother received, an increasingly difficult task as my mother's
health declined. After she sadly passed away, I was grateful for all the help and kindness from all the staff. They were all brilliant. Many thanks.

Review from D R (Resident) published on 23 March 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On the whole, I was very well treated at his care home. In fact, apart from one carer I was extremely well looked after and would offer the home my full support. It so happens that this one individual who was somewhat offhand in manner had not had a dose of vaccine although offered it in/by the home
when I was speaking to her. I believe that with all carers this should be mandatory.

A very good care home with friendly, caring staff who during the pandemic have provided the love and attention which sadly we have been unable to give personally. They have protected our loved ones and minimised any covid effects whilst still providing contact via video calls. I would not hesitate to
recommend this nursing home both for the care of a loved one and also for the peace of mind that it gives to a family in making the decision for care.

My father has been a resident now for 4 months. It has been, as is often the case, a tricky settling in period which the staff have shown exceptional patience and a very professional, caring attitude towards him. This has made the transition as smooth as possible. They continue to seek ways to stimulate
his interest and to make his stay as comfortable as possible. All along the way they have kept family regularly advised of any issues.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was first admitted for respite. He settled in straight away. Unfortunately, he was then diagnosed with terminal cancer, so he then went on to palliative care. I can't speak highly enough of all the staff who were involved with Dad, from cleaners to nurses.
He was treated with great care and
respect by all.
Thank you.

Although my aunt was only in the home for 1 week before she died, the care she received was exemplary. They created a friendly, homely, safe and caring environment so she was happy, content and supported.
She had a pain free, calm and dignified death, thanks to the wonderful, organised and professional
staff. This care continued after her death in the kindness and support shown to us, her family.

Room only concern, otherwise perfect. TV - US. The mattress was very very very uncomfortable. Handyman off sick, very very very missed. Must be replaced, otherwise small jobs built up. Girls do very good keeping the place going. Nothing too much trouble.

Staff extremely approachable and friendly. Sometimes communication not so good when regarding the health of resident i.e. getting to see the doctor. The food seems wholesome and healthy and my Father in Law obviously likes it! The room is kept extremely clean and in good repair. Any problems with maintenance
sorted very quickly. Staff communicate problems with the family regarding residents i.e. when a fall occurs and very diligent following these occasions.

Having no experience of care homes in the past. I found the staff really friendly and more than helpful.
Working in what can be sometimes a difficult job and deserve all the credit they get.

My Mother in Law is completely happy and content at Ayresome Court. She thoroughly appreciated the banter with staff when they see her in her room. She doesn't often want to take part in activities but enjoys those she does take part in. She is most definitely treated with dignity and it is obvious
that many of the staff are very fond of her.

What a wonderful home. Staff are always cheerful and ready to assist whenever needed. As for the dining room, it is as welcoming as any restaurant I've been to and the food is as good. I do think £1.50 for visitors is far too cheap and it is so nice to be able to come and have a meal with mum.

The nursing home have made my husband and I very welcomed for just over 3 months. We have moved from Wales to England which has been a challenge. Everyone has been accommodating. Always service with a smile.
The service is excellent. It is extremely difficult to find anything I am concerned about but
I am happy to say it is impossible. I would be happy to have him come for respite. We have made friends and will miss them.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.792)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.792) 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.792 for Ayresome Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 255 Ratings = 4.792
  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 23 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 23 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.
