Review from Eileen T (Wife of Resident) published on 11 May 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Husband is a resident at Picton court. It is extremely well run by the management and nothing escapes their attention which is what a good care home should be like.
The staff are extremely efficient at their duties and residents are looked after with dignity comfort and compassion and are treated
as members of a big homely family.


A full time activities coordinator is there to bring in a social aspect with lots of fun - Bingo, Floor games, Quizzes, Musical activities, Armchair exercises, Reminiscence, Parties, Gardening Club, Fetes, Raffles, you name it he does it including taking the residents out for lunch which they look forward to.
In the good weather many residents and their families enjoy spending time in the conservatories or outside in the gardens which has stupendous views over fields, to the sea and over the Golf Club.
In my opinion Picton Court is the Jewel in the crown of Care Homes. I cannot Praise it enough and am delighted my husband is there.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.641) out of 10 for Picton Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  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 4.641 for Picton Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (192 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 281 Ratings = 4.641
  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 Picton Court Care 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 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 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.
