Review from Daryl (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 August 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
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!

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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 HomeThank 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.

My mother and father recently moved into Charters Court Care Home. I am absolutely delighted with the care that they are now receiving. Charters Court is meeting my high expectations and in several areas, it is surpassing my expectations. I highly recommend Charters Court without reservation.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum needed convalescence care to help her recover from a serious illness and 3 stays in hospital. The staff at Charters Court have been amazing. It is a very pleasant environment, bright and airy with modern facilities. The staff genuinely care about their residents and seem to enjoy working with
elderly people. There is a strong culture of caring and willingness to help. You notice immediately that everyone smiles, from the cleaners to the excellent carers. Their kindness helped my Mum recover and now she is fit and able to return to independent living again as we had all hoped. I am extremely grateful to Charters for their understanding and appreciation of what it takes to get someone back on their feet again.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Overall I happy with the service provided. I do feel the attitude of some staff members needs to be improved as well as their skills and the way they deal with residents. I do not feel care plans are read when new staff are on duty and they do not seem to know what residents needs are, what they like
or do not like, general information that is very important to the residents care.
Reply from Alistair Betts, Regional Manager at Charters Court Care HomeThank you for your feedback which we welcome. We are always keen to know of the experiences that people have of our services and we will look at the points you have raised.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.828)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.828) 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 47 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.828 for Charters Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (466 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 548 Ratings = 4.828
  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 46 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 46 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.
