Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Every time we visit the home it has a great atmosphere. It is spotlessly clean, with helpful friendly staff not just care assistants but all the staff.
It feels like a 5-star hotel and the rooms are beautiful.
All in all, a very nice experience to visit our friend in such lovely surroundings.

My old aunt, aged 97, had broken her arm and was in hospital for 10 days, then released into Augustus Court Garforth. She has settled in very quickly and is enjoying the comforts of an excellent and comfortable home. She has been joining in flower arranging and an outside garden fete. The staff have
been very caring and she has joined in with other residents.

We were made extremely welcome on our arrival with my mum who is now in residence. The staff were informative, friendly and very warming. Nothing was too much trouble and we were told to stay as long as we wanted to settle our relative in. We were given refreshments whilst we conducted the essential
paperwork and on leaving felt comfortable she is in safe hands. Excellent place for care thank you all so much.

We have visited our mother for 4 consecutive days, spending 7-8 hours a day at Augustus Care Home. The staff were friendly and helpful. Specifically, we lost a wallet in the parking lot and everyone from the manager to staff were helpful and thoughtful. The wallet was handed into the police station
and everyone involved were so thoughtful. Thank you.

Over a period of 22 months, I have gained a great deal of confidence in the care given at Augustus Court. I have particular confidence in the management, in whom I see a real commitment to ensuring that the home is well run and the residents are well cared for and respected. My thanks to all for your
care of mum and also for the care and consideration showed towards me and other family members.

Been here for nearly 2 years. In that time I don't think things have improved. I'm happy with staff, etc. but don't think food is as good as it was at first. The menu is repetitive i.e sandwiches and jacket potatoes.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Augustus Court Care Centre

Thank you for your review; we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We pride ourselves on our mealtime experience and have taken on board your comments about the food. We are very sorry that you are disappointed with this aspect of the service and have requested the Home Manager arrange a meeting with Residents to discuss these concerns to make any changes required.

Augustus Court has looked after my father for almost a year. The level of care shown by all the staff is exceptional. They are always willing to help in any way they can. All residents are treated with respect and kindness. The home itself is always clean and tidy.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father made the decision to move into Augustus Court in Oct 2016 and in the 18 months he lived there, he never once regretted it. He felt that he was well looked after and that his wishes were always respected.
I visited him almost daily, and was always happy with the standards of care, cleanliness,
etc. the rooms are very comfortable, and there are great areas for communal living. I noticed that whenever I visited, residents were sitting in the lounges and chatting or playing board games, etc, rather than the typical care home perception of everyone sitting in front of a television sleeping.
The residents are all treated as individuals and I loved the fact that I would often see staff interacting with the residents by playing cards, walking around the gardens or just sitting chatting to them. Visitors are well treated too and offered drinks etc along with the residents.
In his last few weeks, the care offered to my father was outstanding and I wish to thank all the staff for that.

Review from Michelle T (Niece of Resident) published on 20 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care home is very attractive aesthetically and residents feel as if they are living in a hotel rather than an institution. Staff are kind to residents and treat them as individuals rather than objects, this makes the home feel like they are living as a family and helps to build good relationships
between residents and staff. The arrangement of furniture in the lounge and entrance areas encourages residents to sit together and face each other in groups, so encourages good relationships and camaraderie. I cannot recommend the home highly enough and want to thank the staff for their care.

Mum went in for respite but unfortunately, became unstable with balance. We extended her stay as she felt safe and had 24-hour cover. Mum did need more help daily and staff were excellent and willingly helped her more and more. Mum was not feeling well and staff called in the doctors. At A&E mum had
a stroke and has recovered but now needs 24/7 nursing. She did enjoy her stay at Augustus Court and appreciated all the help given.

This care home is totally outstanding achieving the highest standards of excellence in every single area of care, comfort and hygienic medical standards. The patience, compassion and complete empathy displayed by all the staff who I have seen far exceed any standards and levels that I can think of.
If I had to pick a residence outside my home in which to spend my last days it would be here without question.

We were very happy with the standard of care.
The staff were very kind and treated my father with dignity. They took him to hospital appointments and went out of their ways to help him settle. The food was delicious and the rooms were of a high standard.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I must mention one instance and one only when visiting my husband for the first time. His trousers were very wet and on changing him, found he had no pad or underpants on. As he has prostate cancer and dementia, he needs to be taken to the toilet regularly. He wouldn't be able to tell anyone about his
circumstances, but all this was told when they did his assessment. Fortunately, this didn't happen again. I did bring it to notice to the lady in charge at the time, otherwise I found everything else satisfactory.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Care Advisor at Augustus Court Care Centre

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.
