Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was admitted on the 12th November 2018 being fast-tracked from hospital. She died on the 27th December 2018. Within that time, all the staff were nothing but amazing. Nothing was ever too much trouble, they always had time for not just my mum but all my family and when the end came, their care
didn't stop there. Love every one of them and I can't praise them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I found Ayresome Court Nursing Home to be an excellent care facility. They not only cared for my mother during her final days but were sensitive and supportive to the whole family at a time of great stress. A dedicated team of staff, at all levels. Highly professional and willing to assist in any way
they could. They ensured that all my mother's needs were met and that her room was like her own home, as closely as possible. Not only this but they also made sure the family were never without refreshments and support throughout the time she spent with them.

The service provided to my wife's mother is truly faultless. As a family, we are coming to terms that her days are numbered, but Ayresome Court staff are looking after us too and we need their support at this very difficult time. The culture of looking after both the patient and the family is of a very
high level. Well done everyone and thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
An excellent nursing home in all aspects and I could not recommend it more highly. Skilled, caring and dedicated staff, even devoted, attended to my mum's every need quietly and efficiently. The manager was so supportive and had great empathy for both patients and relatives. Rooms were warm and comforting
and staff were available 24/7 to deal with any aspect of care.

Since Jack has been at Ayresome Court his well being has improved dramatically. Staff are very friendly and professional and there are always activities going on. One of the carers even organised to get him to our daughter's wedding and looked after him for the whole day. A big relief and less worry
for us!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt needed 24-hour care at 98 years-old with cancer. From the first day, my aunt got the best care the family could wish for, in the short time she was there. At the end when I saw my aunt she was laid and rested in clean sheets and her personal things around her.
Laid so nice, it was peaceful
to see her at rest.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
We are new users of this facility and I am very impressed by the care and commitment of all the staff. From our first enquiries, we received very professional advice and assistance, delivered with charm and sensitivity at a very stressful time. On arrival, we were met with big smiles and the transition
was managed very smoothly and efficiently. Since then, the care and consideration of all the staff has been remarkable, not just for the physical skills needed but also for their psychological awareness which has also been a great help to family members.

We are always made so welcome as the staff open the door, however busy they are.
Nothing seems to make them ratty.


It is very homely, cosy and warm. Lovely food and very clean. Beds clean.

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.
