Over the seven years that our relative was a resident we found that the team at Merino Court worked exceptionally hard 24/7 to ensure the residents were experiencing the very best of care. Our relative settled very quickly and soon the staff were like an extension of our family. The mix of skills and
caring attributes in the staff meant he was always comfortable, safe, secure and his wishes were respected. All his needs were met with kindness, patience and care. Communication was good and we felt we were always updated and consulted. As a family, we felt very well looked after and supported, especially in the last few weeks of his life. With much gratitude and respect for your hard, hard-working team I wish to say a very inadequate thank you.

My husband was taken into care in September and he received the best care and attention from the staff. Always there when needed we are a bit upset that we are having to take my husband out to another care home due to being a bit of a journey for the family. We just hope he settles well, so a big thank
you to all the staff and all the cups of tea to heat me up! Will miss you all.

I have seen a great improvement in my sister since she moved into Merino Court Care Home. The level of care is very good and the staff are kind and compassionate to the residents. It's a great comfort to me, to know my sister is in such a good and caring facility.

My daughter's dad was a resident for a few months. In the beginning, there was a few miscommunications, not the staff's fault as they were just doing their job. After everything was sorted it was a pleasure to visit. The staff explained everything to us. We could visit anytime unannounced and were met
by welcoming staff. Sadly the resident was on end of life which we knew when he became a resident there. He passed away this week peacefully with attentive staff looking after him and his family. The manager came into the room regularly as well which we appreciated as he also had nursing experience and put us at ease. Thank you to every one of the staff who looked after him.

I am very happy with the care my relative is receiving. He has settled in well and the staff are very kind and supportive to him. His personal care needs are being very well attended to and the carers have made great efforts to get to know him. The home is a very safe environment and this gives the
family peace of mind.

My father went to Merino Court just under 18 months ago and could not have been happier with the care and support he received. Sadly he passed away peacefully a few days ago but the care he received from all the staff was exemplary. I was welcomed each time I visited and kept informed of his health
and well being throughout his stay at the home. I witnessed excellent interactions between staff and residents. Staff built a bond with my dad and got to know him. Thank you for all you did for Dad, it was always appreciated.

My uncle has been in Merion Court for 2 months and I have been very happy with the care he is receiving. The home is bright and welcoming and the staff are wonderful. It's clear that they have established great relationships with the residents. My uncle is treated with respect and the staff go out of
their way to make sure he is happy and content. The standard of personal care is superb and my uncle always looks so smart! It gives me so much peace of mind. When I visit, I always receive a smile and a friendly welcome and I couldn't be more appreciative of everything that the home is doing for us. Thank you!

Since my mum was placed in the home, she has been treated with kindness, care and been made to feel very special and wanted. She has always been treated with respect. In these difficult times, I admire the way the staff fo not worry the residents and explain to my mother and others gently when things
are a little different now. I would not change anything about my mum's care; they know what is needed to look after her.

From the outset, the care provided for my Mum at Merino Court has been excellent. However, over this past six months, the staff have continually gone above and beyond anything we could have expected in their efforts, to make this very trying situation as comfortable as possible for all the residents
and families. The care and consideration shown at this time will never be forgotten by us. thank you to one and all!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Merino Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.893 for Merino Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 243 Ratings = 4.893

  • b) 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 Merino Court Care Home is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
