Exceptionally clean and tidy and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful at all times. This is the third home I’ve had experience with and the overall service is head and shoulders above the other two, especially with regard to cleanliness, health and safety, and treatment of residents.

My Mum is well looked after and pre-Covid family members and friends were made welcome too. The home has done extremely well for the last year during the Covid pandemic to keep residents as safe as possible whilst trying to keep as much contact with family members.

I cannot fault anything about Abbey Court or the level of care given to residents. Nothing is too much trouble and there is always some form of entertainment or activity taking place. Families have been kept well informed especially during this pandemic of how our loved ones are and special initiatives
have been put in place to allow as much contact as possible.

I have a friend who lives in Abbey Court, and has since they opened. This place is heaven in comparison with anywhere else. My friend has a lovely room with en-suite, the staff are just so friendly, and personable to both clients and everyone else.
The food is also fantastic, and everything is very
civilised, there are even pets for a truly homely feel. People retain their dignity and sense of humour here.
Thank you Abbey Court.

My mum appears to be very settled at Abbey Court, by comparison to her previous residency in hospital. She is generally in good spirits anytime I am with her or speaking to her, despite Covid restrictions over the last 1.5 years. Staff are generally very helpful and welcoming during any engagements
I have had.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Abbey Court is a very well organised Care Home. Staff are extremely caring and look after the residents to a high standard. Covid 19 has been very challenging for everyone but Abbey Court managed to keep everyone safe and well with hard work and exceptional commitment and following guidance to the letter
to keep the virus out of the home.
They have managed to deal with the challenges of family members due to visiting regulations but now things are much better.
I couldn’t ask for a better or safer place for my Aunt to live and be cared for as it is difficult for me to see her but I know she is very well cared for.

My mum has been a resident for the last 2 years and the staff are great with her. She is very well looked after and I have no concerns at all. An excellent care home.
My mother can be a handful especially during the night and the staff are very patient with her and attend to her needs.

Have been outside visiting my friend who is looked after very well by the care home
She is always clean and tidy.
There seems to be a lot of activities within the home. Bingo, exercise, painting and many more.
The staff are very kind and helpful.
I haven't been inside the home yet due to covid restrictions.

Gran's care has been amazing, all through the pandemic we have been kept up to date with pictures, video calls, essential visits, etc. They started indoor visits in March and it has all gone perfectly smoothly, the staff have organised it brilliantly and any other relatives we have spoken to feel the
same. The home has done so much through all the covid mess and kept everyone happy and healthy.

We were worried about putting gran into a care home during the pandemic but the efficiency and professionalism of the staff and management gave us great comfort, very pleased to say that everything has been amazing so far. It's so hard not being able to visit often but we are kept up to date with everything
going on and we can have video calls whenever we want. The home has a social media page where they share pictures and videos of all the activities and it's great to see everyone in such high spirits despite the troubling times, well done to all the staff at Abbey Court.

My mum is extremely happy with the care home. All of the staff provide a high standard of care, they go above and beyond for the residents and really care about them. The home itself is clean, nicely furnished and spacious. The food provided is of a good standard and they are accommodating to people’s
needs. There is some form of activity on most days and staff try to motivate residents to join in.
Overall, I’d certainly recommend here for anyone looking for somewhere for a family member and I can’t thank the staff enough for their care.

The staff and management at Abbey Court all work tirelessly to support and care for their extremely vulnerable residents. They have remained upbeat throughout this very difficult time. The level of communication that they have provided to relatives has been great and very much appreciated. I am more
than confident that my 100 year old gran is being well cared for. The whole staff team deserve praise for there efforts. They are doing a wonderful job.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.736)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.736) out of 10 for Abbey Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.736 for Abbey Court is calculated as follows: ( (221 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.736
  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 Abbey Court is based on 20 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 20 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.
