Mum was a resident for 2.5 years, during which time she received excellent care. The whole team are professional, caring, empathetic & showed Mum great kindness. Mum could be challenging on occasions but time after time, staff went the extra mile & more to meet her needs, always with tremendous interpersonal
skills & good humour. There were several occasions when she was ill & had hospital stays but she was always very pleased to return to Abbotswood, where her care from the team was outstandingly good. Mum was always commenting on how kind the staff were. From my prospective, Abbotswood took a great weight off my shoulders. I know she was extremely well looked after. I was always kept fully updated on Mum's health & care needs & on one occasion the quick thinking & professionalism of the staff probably saved her life. Abbotswood Court is an excellent care home, which I would thoroughly recommend & is why a second member of my family has recently become a resident.

My grandmother has lived at Abbotswood for 2.5 years and him that time I've seen her receive excellent care from dedicated staff who really get to know the residents and take time and care to best meet their needs. Repeatedly staff and the manager have gone above and beyond what I could have expected,
to meet my grandmother's needs, respond to her requests and make Abbotswood Court truly feel like home. I highly recommend them to anyone considering moving here, or supporting a relative considering moving here.
Her room is lovely, menu and food choices are very tasty, and there is a wealth of activities that can be enjoyed as well as sitting in the lovely gardens or accessing the local community. But it's the way the staff make you feel that really counts, always warm and welcoming, clearly capable, competent and well trained, and always taking the time to truly care for residents in the very broadest sense of the word. The manager provides great hands on leadership to a brilliant team.

The care received by my father and our family was outstanding. He was only in the home for 15 days before he died but he was treated as a person the whole time. He was shown respect, compassion and great care. I cannot thank the staff enough for the consideration shown to all of us during the time of
his stay and ultimate death. The care the staff gave was first-rate from beginning to end. Thank you.

We did consider other homes but chose Abbotswood Court Care Home due to the facilities. My mother-in-law was here for two years and we have been very impressed by the care, the facilities but most of all the staff and their caring, professional attitude. I would not hesitate to recommend Abbotswood
Court to anyone considering a care home.

My mother was in Abbotswood Court Care Home for two years. The care and support she received from the staff was outstanding. All members of the team are professional, caring and compassionate. The environment at Abbotswood felt like one big happy family. The end-of-life care that my mum received from
all the staff was amazing and I will be forever grateful to them.

My father stayed in Abbotswood Court Care Home for the last 18 months of his life and I cannot thank them enough. Their care, compassion and professionalism have been outstanding. At every turn, we have been met with a smile and with kindness and understanding. They do so much to enable our relatives
to live well despite their limitations. I am so thankful I found them.

From the first day Dad entered Abbotswood Court Care Home I felt he was in good hands. I cannot thank every member of staff enough for their endless patience and kindness in looking after Dad in the following months. It was also a huge relief for me to be able to phone anytime to check how Dad was.
Thank you Abbotswood for everything.

Abbotswood was our first port of call when seeking short-term care for my mother. From the outset, the staff were very friendly and accommodating and communications were excellent. The home itself is exceptionally well presented with wonderful facilities. Thank you for providing us with such great respite

Abbotswood Court has been a wonderful place for my father for the last three years. They have certainly looked after him well, and treated him with the dignity he deserved. Management continually updating his needs as his dementia got worse. In his last few days the staff were incredibly caring and
thoughtful to his and our needs. Thank you.

My father had suffered with Alzheimer's for some years and was a resident at Abbotswood Care Home for the last 2 1/2 years of his life. He was always treated with respect, was safe and comfortable in the friendly environment. The staff went out of their way to look after him in his failing physical
health and worked extra hard when medical help was not always forthcoming from the local GP practice. When he passed away I would say everyone around him could not have been kinder.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.953)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.953) out of 10 for Abbotswood Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 43 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 4.953 for Abbotswood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (488 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 512 Ratings = 4.953

  • 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 Abbotswood Court Care Home is based on 43 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 43 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.

Lea Wintle

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2017

I have been working in care for over 20 years and have held a range of positions from Support Worker / Carer to Registered Manager. My experience is with learning disabilities and elderly care, including dementia and palliative care. I love the satisfaction of making a positive difference, however great or small, in the life of someone less able than I am, at whatever stage of life they have reached.


Whilst working in care, I have been lucky enough to receive several awards. In 2005, I was the runner-up in the National Registered Managers category of the National Care Awards and a Local Hero Award for Outstanding Achievement in Care run by the Salisbury Journal and Spire FM. I am proud of both these achievements.

Job Title: Dementia Care Manager

Joined: 2017

What I do


As Deputy Manager I work closely with Lea as part of the management team. My previous role was Dementia Manager here at Abbotswood Court and I continue to directly support residents and families of our dementia community. I regularly meet with our residents’ families and with Lea ensure families are as much a part of Abbotswood Court as the residents themselves.


My experience


Since completing my Master's degree in Person-Centred Care in Dementia, I have had 16 years’ experience of supporting people living with dementia across a range of age groups.


About me


I joined Abbotswood Court in 2016 and I strive to educate people, particularly families of those living with dementia, to recognise the positive impact of focusing on the abilities the person still has, rather than dwelling on the abilities they have lost. I am passionate about everyone being treated as an individual, continuing to develop the atmosphere of person-centred care at Abbotswood Court and encouraging my Care Team to achieve the best possible care.

I look forward to seeing Abbotswood Court be one of the best among the rest in delivering care to our lovely residents


If I’m not at work, I make sure I spent quality time with my family. We go out and do window shopping or eat out together. I like taking my 3 children out either for play or just to be together. This is our happy time or sometimes a lazy day at home, in bed together and ordering takeaways!
