Review from Jackie D (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 April 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the day he arrived at the home until the day he passed away, my Dad was treated with dignity and respect.
I popped in most days and was always greeted with a smile.
Nothing was too much trouble during my Dad's last days.
If I wasn't with him a member of staff was, and that gave me peace of
mind during a very difficult time.
Dad passed away peacefully, with dignity, in his own room and that was all I asked for.
Staff attended Dad's funeral and that was lovely for the family to see.
Dad was very happy in the home and was especially fond of being in the garden, doing a bit of weeding, eating ice-lolllies, chatting with other residents/staff or drinking his endless cups of tea!
At his funeral we asked for donations for the Home and raised enough to buy a Companion Seat, now others can benefit from sitting in the garden and enjoying what Dad loved to do the most.
I cannot compliment the staff enough, they were and are wonderful - thank you to the manager and the team.

My mum was admitted to Ayresome Court Nursing Home on 23rd May 2017. She had several bouts of pneumonia and was hospitalised from 19th Jan 2017 to 23rd May 2017. When she arrived at the home she was in a weak state and not interested in getting out of bed. The staff soon got her up and about and she
came back to life. Every time she got ill they were fantastic and seemed to blossom back. She died on the 4th January 2018 almost 95 years old. I did not want my mum to be in a nursing home but the staff were so friendly and cheerful. I could not have asked for anything better.

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.

On many visits to see my aunt I am always very impressed by the standard of care provided to the residents. The staff are always kind and friendly, displaying endless patience. The home is always clean and bright providing a homely environment for the residents. Meals are varied and nutritious and no
special requests are denied. The bedrooms are bright and spacious and very well maintained.

My mother has resided at Ayresome Court for three years until her death this month. I have always found the staff to be courteous and attentive and I cannot thank them enough for their care and attention over recent weeks. I would have no hesitation in recommending such a lovely home and wonderful people.

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.

We were very careful to ensure that we picked a nursing home that would provide the very best care for our mother, we are very pleased that everything we hoped would be available has very much proved to be the case with excellent service and facilities all round.
We are very pleased we have made the
right choice for our mothers care.

I have had a very pleasing experience at Ayresome Court. I was very ill for eight weeks and the nursing and care was wonderful.
It is a very friendly care home and they always consider the needs of the individual.
They are very welcoming to friends and family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.
