The Review Score of 9.7 (maximum of 10) for April Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for April Court Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.724 for April Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (156 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.724
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for April Court Care Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 15.6 positive Reviews (78 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 16 Reviews ÷ 15.6 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Kayleigh H (Granddaughter of Resident) on Monday 23 April 2018. Relates to March 2018.
April Court has fantastic staff who are happy to go the 'extra mile' for both their service users and their families. My gran has been here for 4 years and has always been happy and content. She settled in very quickly because the home is always so welcoming and has a happy atmosphere. Everything is always clean and tidy and staff are always happy and interact with the service users and relatives. Activities are good but my nan would welcome more day trips out. I would be happy to help with going out as extra support if needed.

My brother's health has improved tremendously since moving to April Court. His open wound has improved greatly and he seems very happy. I am hoping when the warm weather comes hope to be able to take him outside the home. Still concerned about his ability to walk.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Haydn B (Son of Resident) on Monday 9 April 2018. Relates to April 2018.
My Dad has loved every minute of the seven months he has spent at April Court. He is being looked after well, and my sister and I, who visit regularly, have been highly impressed by the care and attention given to his every need by the staff.
I always feel welcome at April Court when I visit and the management team always express an interest in my Dad's welfare when I speak to them. The care workers and nurses are also very caring and responsive to my Dad's needs and to any queries I have.
I would like to especially praise the laundry and kitchen staff, it would be so easy for people in these roles to focus on their core duties, but in both cases the staff at April Court show a real care for the residents and their needs. The laundry lady is always jolly and full of local stories, which as my Dad was born only a few streets away, are always welcome. The kitchen staff are extremely helpful, coping with my Dad's love of a local Ice Cream by taking and storing it when I deliver it. Thanks

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Maureen S (Wife of Resident) on Monday 9 April 2018. Relates to March 2018.
I have always found the staff and management at this home most helpful, my husband is always clean and well cared for. The food is excellent. I sometimes eat here myself and I was a chef in my working life, so I think that is praise enough. The care here is excellent. I can't praise them enough. If I do have a problem it is dealt with immediately.

I have been here for six months and I think that April Court is first class. The staff care for my every need and look after me so well. I was nervous about leaving my own home but coming here has been the best decision I have made. Many thanks to all the staff.

My husband came here after 10 weeks in hospital. I find that he is having very good care here. It is very clean and the food is good, although he cannot eat very well and he cannot eat very well and has to have it blended. His room is a good size, nice and bright and comfortable. The staff are very friendly and helpful doing everything they can for him.

My husband has been in April Court Care Home since December 2013. He has had the best of care from all the staff. Medication when needed. He is always clean and shaven. When I go to visit he is made comfortable in his chair every day.
