We checked out all local care homes and Abbotswood is the best. Purpose-built. It's more like going into a hotel. None of those usual care home smells. The care is great, arranging and chaperoning my dad for appointments. Good activities, bearing in mind Covid-19 is limiting everything. The food menu
is awesome and the social side is doing wonders for my dad. Fully adjustable beds and call alarms, necklace for help anywhere in the home. It's not cheap but none of them are.

Reply from Anya Sait, Home Admissions Advisor at Abbotswood Court Care Home

Wow, what can we say! A huge thank you for expressing your thoughts on Abbotswood Court. We think its the best but to hear it from our extended family really does make us glow with pride. Dad sure has settled in well and it's lovely to see him enjoying life.

During the last few very difficult months, we have been very pleased with the organisation of Abbotswood, their care and support. Mum's mood has been very good throughout, despite her normal activities at times (and social life) having been interrupted!
Sure this has taken a lot of hard work, so thank
you!
We have been very confident that Mum has been living in a very safe environment.

Reply from Anya Sait, Home Admissions Advisor at Abbotswood Court Care Home

We welcome your kind words and yet another lovely review. We have tried to ensure that our residents have continued to enjoy a good selection of daily activities and throughout the COVID crisis, Abbotswood Court has remained a lively, sociable home. It has been lovely to welcome live entertainment back into the garden over recent weeks when residents have spent some lovely afternoons in the Garden. We are very fortunate to work / live in such a lovely environment. Above everything else we are pleased your family are confident in our care and in keeping Mum safe. Sending love from the whole team.

I probably don’t tell the staff often enough just how much our family values the care and love they all show to our mother and the other residents. I do try to do this in a number of ways, but now I want to put it on the record “officially” not least because of the huge challenges that Covid 19 has
brought to those who we’ve entrusted to keep our loved ones safe and happy.
Our mother who’s recently turned 93, has been at Abbotswood since October 2018. I can honestly say that every day we count our blessings that she’s where she is and being cared for with such love, compassion and expertise. Without exception, every single member of staff, whatever their role, plays their part in making her feel loved and valued as the individual she is. This has been especially important at a time when we haven’t been able to have the physical contact we would normally have with her.
We thank you all so much.

Reply from Anya Sait, Home Admissions Advisor at Abbotswood Court Care Home

Tessa, thank you so much for your very emotive review, especially at this challenging time for everyone. Our whole team have worked so hard to not only care for but support our residents throughout a time when family visits were minimal due to Covid. The General Manager has ensured that everyone here, including the staff, has had the support they need which has enabled us to continue doing what we do best and to receive comments such as yours really does mean the world to us all. Thank you.

My mother moved into the home in June 2019 and soon settled very well into the new routine of Abbotswood and regarded it as "home" within a few weeks. Her general demeanour has greatly improved over the past months as she had problems with medical conditions living on her own. The friendly care and
support of all the staff has helped her to relax and enjoy the social life of the lovely dining room and a very good range of activities. She enjoys the view of the garden from her room and sitting out in good weather. It's a pleasure to visit her and know she is in a safe and caring environment.

Reply from Anya Sait, Home Admissions Advisor at Abbotswood Court Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to submit a review. It's been wonderful to see Mum settle and enjoy life here. We understand people can be fearful of the transition to a care home but once people join us we soon see what seems to be a weight off their shoulders knowing there is support here 24/7 and that they are no longer vulnerable. We have really enjoyed getting to know Mum and it's very rewarding for us seeing her enjoy various activities throughout the home. She is very much part of the family.

My mum has stayed at Abbotswood Court Care Home on several occasions for respite or recovery following a hospital admission. I cannot fault the staff, management or environment. Everyone is very welcoming and friendly. She receives excellent individualised care and feels content and safe staying there.
All the staff genuinely care for her and her well being. They know her and will gauge how she is feeling and what help/ care she requires. This includes the housekeeping and maintenance staff who, with great affection will fix her wheelchair.
The carers encourage her to eat and drink and the catering staff ensure she is tempted by the menu and meet her dietary requirements. The environment is ideal for a wheelchair user both inside and in the gardens. The activity staff work hard to provide a varied programme and encourage the residents to contribute to ideas.
It is expensive, but all Care Homes are and at Abbotswood, you know that your loved one will be well cared for and safe.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

We chose this care home for our father when he became unable to live in his own home due to the progression of his dementia, because of its bright and airy rooms, the wide corridors and painted in different colours to help with orientation. His room is a good size and the ensuite well appointed. The
staff seemed friendly and knowledgeable and this has proved correct. The senior or manager on duty has always been available to answer questions and reassure us when Dad's condition has deteriorated.
There are only two areas that make me rate the care home as less than perfect, one, the menus are a little repetitive although food is lovely and two, the turnover of staff is quite high at times, it's fairly stable at the moment.

Reply from Lea Wintle, General Manager at Abbotswood Court Care Home

We really value your feedback so we are able to continually improve every aspect of life for residents. We understand meals are a very important factor in everyday life and through close liaison with our chefs and the residents themselves we rotate our menus every week, on a 4-week schedule. In addition, we have quarterly reviews where the menus are altered. There is a varied choice for a starter, main and dessert, plus an alternative snack menu. Individual residents, nutritional needs are explored and catered for. At the interview, prospective Chefs produce a dish and the residents are involved in the selection process. So with this said, please be reassured that our attention to detail around menus is something we continually review. With regards to staffing, we are extremely proud of the fact that we have good retention rates and unlike many homes, in the four years we have been open, we haven't used agency care staff. We are pleased you have been happy with Dads overall care.

Very good care home with well-trained staff who are friendly and caring. They work extra hard to ensure that there are both morning and afternoon activities for residents. Lunch and dinner menus offer a wide variety of foods.
This excellence comes at a price though, which can fairly be described as
satisfactory at best, especially as prices have risen at six percent p.a. for the past two years.

Reply from Anya Sait, Home Admissions Advisor at Abbotswood Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review us and for your positive comments. We are indeed extremely lucky/proud to have such a dedicated activities team who work very hard to ensure every single resident has access to person-centred activities throughout the week. We do like to think we offer something special here at Abbotswood Court. Aside from our daily activities, we also host evening entertainment, cheese and wine evenings, afternoon teas and even day trips in our mini-bus. Our staff are valued and enjoy a pleasant working environment which allows them to deliver excellent care.

We are extremely pleased we selected this care home for our mother.
The staff are really thoughtful, caring and friendly and do their best to make Mum feel happy at all times. There are often things going on to occupy the residents, maybe visiting singers or musicians, quizzes or crafts. The staff
work very hard to include everyone. They also have minibus trips.
The meals are excellent, good sizes and very frequent.
The home is always clean and smells fresh.

Our aunt has only recently moved to this beautiful care home - and has been made to feel so welcome. Staff have taken time to get to know her and her needs, and always treat her with care and dignity. She comments regularly on the kindness of the staff. A couple of days ago she had an emergency admission
to hospital and we were so impressed with how well this was handled, with initial care being given while an ambulance was called. At the end of the day, there was a discussion about discharge or being admitted to a ward. Our aunt said she wanted to go home, back to Abbotswood. The fact that she called it "home" spoke volumes. We are very grateful indeed that she is being so well looked after.

When I realised I could no longer cope with my broken pelvis at home, my daughter was quick to book in here at Abbotswood Court Care Home having had it recommended from friends with ageing parents. Although initially concerned I'd be too much trouble, I was left in no doubt that that's what round the
clock staff of carers are here for and the senior carers were always willing to discuss self-medication worries of one sort or another and give me liquid morphine on time. The place is kept super clean and the dedicated staff always cheerful and happy to have a little chat and the food consistently tasty and tempting.

I share with my wife a large room with much of our home furniture. The room is bright and airy with good views through a large window. All the staff we meet are very helpful and attentive. Any problems are quickly dealt with. We like the wide corridors and many small lounges. We try to attend many of
the activities which are always well organised. We should like to see more information used for meals and improved presentation. We would like meals about an hour later in the evening. We have only been on one outside trip to the zoo which was very well organised in all respects, particularly the driver and support helpers. We would certainly support further trips. We are very happy here.

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.

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 have so much passion for working and looking after Elderly people as it reminds me of my Grandma whom I’m very close to. I enjoy most looking after people living with Dementia, seeing them smile makes me happy. I love to make a difference in their life.


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!
