Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This is the worst nursing home I have ever experienced for my father in law. Totally unacceptable in their duty of care from administering medication, food, cleanliness, activity program, management of the home and the overall environment. Staff stand talking while residents need assistance. Not once
did I see any staff make conversation with any resident not even checking on those who are bed bound. Totally all round failure to our elderly. Best thing we done was move him to a spotless great care amazing staff and a reduction of medication where he is now thriving happy and contented and involved in a full activities program.

My mother had been a resident at Colinvale Court Nursing Home for just over 3 years. Sadly she passed away 3 weeks ago. I would just like to highlight the amazing care and compassion my mother was shown during her time there, especially the end of life care she received. The nursing staff were knowledgeable
and efficient in delivering all aspects of care. We as a family felt included in every decision made to make our mother's final days as comfortable as possible. Our mother felt safe and secure at Colinvale. Amazing team.

I would like to take the opportunity to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to the staff at Colinvale Court Nursing Home for the excellent care they provided to my mummy from her admission in February 2021 until her passing in September 2024. Mummy was so well looked after, the staff had an amazing
an understanding of mummy's needs and great insight into the individual care requirements of a person living with Alzheimer's. The staff took the time to get to know mummy and showed interest in her life and the things she enjoyed. Nothing was ever a problem, the staff were always happy to help and support mummy and ourselves especially in the last weeks of her life. Their professionalism, care, compassion and empathy was highlighted in the respectful and dignified way they delivered mummy's care.
I would recommend Colinvale Court Nursing Home to any person of family who are looking for a safe secure place for their loved one to live.

My mother has been in Colinvale Nursing Home for just over three years. They have taken the time to get to know my mother and understand her, which makes all the difference. The nursing and care staff are all so approachable and compassionate which gives me a great sense of comfort that my mother is
receiving excellent person-centred care. The communication with myself and my sisters is also excellent and we are always kept informed of our mum's day-to-day progress and any other aspects of her needs. Our mother has also got to know the staff and other residents which promotes her overall sense of wellbeing and belonging and is a great source of contentment for her. Overall a very positive experience.

My husband was initially admitted to the home for respite for a few weeks and he settled in so well and so quickly that it was decided that he should remain there permanently. He has been a resident for 5 years now, and in all that time, I have never had any major issues with the home. I find the staff
very quick to act if he is ill by contacting the doctor or hospital and I'm always kept informed about everything. My husband is well cared for by very dedicated staff. They are pleasant, approachable, caring and obliging.

Review from Martine K (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mummy was a resident from June to August this year after spending 3 months in the hospital, from our first visit I was totally impressed with the home. The home was spotless and welcoming, and every member of staff just after one day felt like extended family. All my fears of mummy going into a home
were quickly addressed and the manager was so reassuring to me and my daughter that I could just focus on being with my mummy. Her complex needs were always met with dignity and care and always humour as they got to know her very quickly. During her last weeks, every member of staff who were on duty looked after not only my mummy but me and my daughter and I will always be so grateful to them. I could not recommend this home or staff enough, the atmosphere is family-focused and they take the time to get to know the residents and what they like to do.

My mother has been a resident at Colinvale Court Nursing Home since February 2023. The management and staff appear to work together to create a warm, happy and welcoming place both to live and to visit. Her room is clean and bright and bed linen is changed frequently. As my mother suffers from advanced
Alzheimer's she walks constantly and therefore can be prone to falls and bruising, when this happens the family are contacted immediately and any issues are dealt with promptly and to our satisfaction. The staff are very approachable and I feel very thankful to have my mother in a place where I can leave knowing she will be well cared for with the respect she deserves.

My daddy became a resident of Colinvale in June 2023 after spending five years in a residential home, he now required nursing care. He settled in immediately to Colinvale, the staff are so attentive, caring, friendly and hardworking. On our first few days there I noticed there is always staff watching
over all the residents and I was impressed by this. We as a family are there every day and it is so reassuring to see how every resident is cared for with so much dignity, not only my daddy. I am happy and content my daddy is receiving the best possible care.

Colinvale Court has been my mum's home for over 15 years. She is extremely well cared for and the staff work really hard to create a friendly and caring environment. The management and staff are very approachable and communication is excellent in managing my mum's care. Listening to the interaction
between staff and residents is a testament to the friendly nature of staff who treat the residents as part of the family with warmth and respect.

My uncle has been a resident in the home for the past 4 years. He has been so well looked after even during the lockdown. He is showered, shaved and has clean clothes on him every day. His bed is changed and the room is cleaned every day. They are so attentive and caring. I am very happy with the care
he has received. The staff are brilliant and genuinely caring. A great place.

Review from Marcella L (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 August 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been cared for in Colinvale Court Nursing Home since March 2018. As well as providing excellent care for her, they also supported my dad and myself during and after the initial transition. They made my dad very welcome on his daily visits (yes - every single day). He, unfortunately, passed
in June 2020 as he was heartbroken that he couldn't see his beloved wife every day due to lockdown. Although we were only allowed ten people at the funeral mass, we made sure there was a space for someone from Colinvale to represent Mum and the care home, that is how highly we rate the care.

Dear Marcella,
Many thanks for your review and your review will boost our confidence. It's a pleasure to look after your mum. We all know how much you have supported us all the time, especially with all difficulties. On behalf of our Colinvale family, again thank you ever so much for your great support.

Avoid this place if you want your relative looked after.
Disgusting behaviour towards my mother, they didn't want her there, so they washed their hands with her, and rang an ambulance without notifying relatives to have her taken away.
Reply from Mrs Vincent, Nurse Manager at Colinvale Court Nursing Home for EMI

Dear Stuart, We are so sorry that you have had a negative experience with our home. Our aim is always to provide the best quality of care to our residents and also to support their families. Unfortunately, there are times that a person's needs change and no longer be safely cared for in a care setting even with all efforts. Our priority is the safety of your mum and her comfort. We can understand that it's hard for the family to move your relatives into new settings. It was a pleasure to look after your mum and as you know that she needs a good quality of life which you will understand when her situation changes. I am happy to discuss with you for any clarification. We are working hard to provide an outstanding quality of care. We are again deeply sorry that you had this experience with our care home and did not meet your expectations.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.296)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.296) out of 10 for Colinvale Court Nursing Home for EMI is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 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 4.496 for Colinvale Court Nursing Home for EMI is calculated as follows: ( (95 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 117 Ratings = 4.496
  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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Colinvale Court Nursing Home for EMI is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.9
  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.
