Enjoyed the coffee morning very much- lovely cakes. Everyone was kind and talked to me. My wife's friend is a resident on the first floor, the staff very kindly brought her to the lounge and it was nice to see her again.

Always a pleasure to visit my friend on the first floor and to see how much better she looks since coming to live at Augustus Court. She always looks well turned out, as she looked when she was younger as she was very elegant. It is obvious from the way that she greets the carers that they are kind
and loving towards her. Her room is neat, clean and spacious. It is reassuring and comforting to know that she is in such a safe, caring place.

I call regularly to visit my aunt and on numerous occasions I have noticed the home smells sometimes and is very dusty and the windows are dirty and the chairs smell and my auntys room is dusty with cobwebs at high levels and skirting boards are dusty. Just makes the cleaners look lazy as its not deep
cleaned.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Augustus Court Care Centre

I am sorry to hear that you feel your aunt's room is not to the cleanliness standards that we expect. The housekeeping team do complete regular deep cleans within the home and bedrooms, management also complete regular walk rounds and bedroom checks. We have recently just had all upholstery throughout the home professionally deep cleaned. The Manager would be more than happy to discuss this with you on your next visit to the home.

My mum is currently in for respite. She has mixed dementia but is very aware of everything. I have observed how she is treated and looked after. This is first-class. All the staff I have come into contact with care very deeply for all the residents. They go out of their way to ensure all their needs
are catered for. My mum will definitely be returning. I am very happy with my mum's care.

Review from K P (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 April 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has lived at the care home for nearly 2 1/2 years. The carers always make sure mum's needs are met in a caring and respectful way. Her room is kept clean and tidy as is the rest of the home. The new activity leader is excellent and makes sure the residents do stimulating activities. My only criticism
would be the head office speed of organising repairs. My mum's toilet broke and it took 2 weeks to repair and only after I had complained.
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Augustus Court Care Centre

Thank you for your review regarding our home, and the positive comments. I apologise regarding the repair of the toilet which I now understand has been resolved and we will work to respond more promptly going forwards.

The staff try hard to look after the residents in a caring way. Sometimes when there is a shortage of staff it can be difficult for them to cover patients needs quickly. The new activities worker has lots of passion and enthusiasm to make each day has stimulating events for all. She is also keen to
raise funds for more activities.

It's always very sad when your loved one needs to move into the care system. My dad moved into Augustus Court just over a year ago. I can honestly say the care he has received has been exceptional. A very calm, caring environment.

Pleased with the way my mother in law is being looked after. The appointment of the new entertainment representative has made is making a real difference. She has some really good ideas but will need some financial support to carry some of them out!

Mum is a character who does not always agree to do the things that will help her. The care staff in AC have recognised this v. quickly and are extremely patient and caring despite the challenge. Mum says they are caring and kind 'lovely people' Praise indeed! Mum has not been well enough to join the
activities but they look good.

Mum and dad have moved into Augustus Court this month and we are all very happy with the care.
It is more like a hotel than a care home with very high standards.
Food is excellent, carers are all brilliant with my parents.
Mum is loving getting involved in all the activities. There is always something
going on for them.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.501)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.501) out of 10 for Augustus Court Care Centre 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.501 for Augustus Court Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (140 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 379 Ratings = 4.501
  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 Augustus Court Care Centre is based on 32 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
