Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We stumbled across this home in the middle of what was an extremely distressing time for us as a family. We arrived at 5.30pm to look around, thinking that it would be a flying visit. Wrong! The manager took the time to listen to us and find out about mum before showing us around. When walking around
every member of the staff stopped and spoke to us and smiled. The decision was made and mum moved in a week later. She has gone from strength to strength. She’s made friends, is eating and drinking so much better. She loves the activities and all of the staff. We, as a family will be forever grateful to Charter’s Court.
Note to the owners - look after that manager and the team as they are truly amazing people.
THANK YOU!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home provided expert care and help following my early discharge from hospital. I have a relapsing disease which requires dietary and medication support that only specialists which you have at Charters Court can provide.
The home is kept beautifully clean and the staff are friendly and welcoming.
It was a thoroughly nice experience after hospitalisation. I hope they will let me stay again if my condition deteriorates.

My father seems content and happy in Charters Court. The staff are warm, kind and very supportive here. They have phenomenal patience and their interest in each person goes beyond my previous experience. I appreciate their thoughtfulness and the way I'm contacted and informed every step of the way.
I feel like we are jointly making decisions in his best interests. I know I can leave my father here with peace of mind that he is extremely well taken care of.

My mother is very happy here. I had my reservations about management of the home, however, this seems to be improving with the appointment of a new, local manager. The care staff do a fantastic job on a daily basis. The home is spotless and never smells. Food is good, although some changes recently
aren’t popular with Mother!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad entered Charters Court in June 2016 in the Dementia suite and my mother entered the nursing suite in October 2016. My father's dementia progressed very quickly and the staff care for him extremely well and with lots of care and compassion until he passed away in June 2017. My mother entered on
palliative care from hospital. The nursing team looked after her so well she was soon off palliative care and she has been able to enjoy a further year that we never thought she would see. To me this home is a diamond in the heart of Sussex and should be cherished.

The question of food is hard to answer as one day it would be good, and the next terrible! And toying with all the extra charges.


One suggestion is a 'true' Chinese meal!

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Charters Court Care Home

Thank you for the positive review you have made with regards to your overall experience at Charters Court. We take feedback seriously to consistently maintain the quality of our services and continually improve to meet residents’ satisfaction and offer value for money.


With regards to our menus, they are being developed based on each of the resident’s preferences and are written in their plan of care. Our dignity in dining process assists our team to develop menus that are delicious, healthy and offer a variety of choices dependent on the season, occasion and most importantly choices made by the residents.

My mother has only been here for a couple of months now, but in that time the staff have been very attentive and have had the doctor treat her for various things to keep her comfortable.
All the staff are very patient and treat everyone really well - you know they will all be safe in their care, when
you are not around.

I am extremely pleased with the way my mother is cared for. The permanent staff are wonderful and know what my mother likes and dislikes, however, we have had a spate of agency staff who, although very caring do not have the continuity of the permanent staff. It would be very helpful if the staff remained
in the home.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Charters Court Care Home

Thank you very much for your review of Charters Court, feedback is always welcomed and appreciated.


With regard to the team at Charters Court, we have had a couple of people depart purely due to relocation, resulting in some use of agency care to support Residents. We are in the process of recruiting to ensure we have a full complement of our own team.


Thank you for patience whilst we deal with this process and I shall ensure your feedback is shared with the Team.

Review from Geoff E (Son of Resident) published on 12 September 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Both of my elderly parents have been residents at Charters Court for just over one year. My father, unfortunately, passed away in June, but my mother continues to be cared for in the nursing unit upstairs.


I cannot praise Charter Court enough, as despite this being a truly awful experience for my

sister and myself the staff have been absolutely amazing. We have got to know many of them quite well and witnessed constantly the dedication and care that they put into looking after the residents.


The facilities are fantastic and not what I was expecting when looking for a safe environment for my parents to live with the home itself set in a very lovely countryside location.


I would strongly recommend anyone having to look under similar circumstances to take a look at Charters Court. It has always been very easy to visit at any time of the day and I have always felt very welcome with staff often taking time to talk to me about things happening with my parents.


Top care home, top staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.820)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.820) out of 10 for Charters Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 48 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 47 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 4.820 for Charters Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (469 Excellents x 5) + (81 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 557 Ratings = 4.82
  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 Charters Court Care Home is based on 47 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 47 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.
