Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad came into Acomb Court after a spell in hospital left him unable to cope at home.
The environment, his room and the facilities are all of a high standard and the home is very welcoming.
I have found all the staff to be helpful and they have made a real effort to help him settle in.
They communicate
well with the family.
As a result, Dad has settled in very well and the family is very happy with the care he receives.

Everything is going very well for my father. I live in Holland and I am glad he is being well looked after. I am only able to come 2 times a year so it gives me peace of mind.

My mother moved into Acomb Court in October 2017 and as a family, we have been very pleased with the staff and the care she gets. If there is anything that we are not happy with, the matter is addressed very quickly. This is definitely the best place for my mother to be - she particularly enjoys all
the activities provided.

Acomb Court is always very clean, staff always pleasant and helpful - they do all they can to ensure 'my resident' is cared for without impinging on their own capability or dignity.
The level of attention given to health matters in excellent.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After an emotional and often challenging 2016 my mother moved to Acomb Court after a very unsettling few months. From that moment in Sept 2016, the staff welcomed her and made her feel at home. She knows everyone has her best interests at heart and cares for her. I cannot thank Acomb Court enough as
they have become part of our extended family.

Mum has been a resident for eight years. The home was taken over until very recently. My sister and I both live 200+ miles away but one of us visits monthly. We have been reassured by the care mum receives. We have no anxiety about her well-being, this is such a relief living so far aware from her.
The home never knows when we are coming, Mum is always comfortable, clean and appropriately dressed.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.646)

Review Score Change Log

Please note changes are only recorded per day, so if 2 or more changes occur in the same day, it will only show the result from all the changes, not an individual breakdown of all the changes

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.646) out of 10 for Acomb Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 29 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 4.646 for Acomb Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.646
  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 Acomb Court Care 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, 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.
