Review from Michael W (Resident) published on 1 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife and I were only able to stay for a short while though our intention was to stay longer. This was partly due to my son-in-law having a nasty accident and causing our plans to go hay-wire. Nevertheless, in that short stay, we were both impressed with everything as you will see form below.

Review from S T (Son of Resident) published on 21 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been unable to look after himself for some considerable time. After much persuasion, he agreed to one week's respite. He has now stayed 3 weeks and will be signing on the dotted line to stay permanently. The home has everything he needs. His nature is very volatile and he can be unpleasant
to people very easily. Whilst he still has this streak in him he has no reason to act in this manner. The staff handle him in a very caring and understanding way without allowing him not to misbehave. Long may this continue.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum had lived in her own home until she was 92 and had never wanted to go into residential care but she came to realise that she needed 24-hour care and she settled very well. The care she had was excellent. The staff were extremely caring and couldn't do enough for her. The meals were excellent, decor
unbelievable and facilities outstanding. During her final days, the staff not only looked after her with great compassion but they did everything possible to help my husband.

This was my first time to stay in a care home for respite. My initial concerns diminished when I first visited and had no hesitation of saying I would like to stay. Beautiful home, polite and caring staff and all very obliging. Should the need arise, I will be happy to return to return for another stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having visited the website and following a visit, we selected Augustus Court Care Centre for respite care for my mother to allow my husband and I to join family on holiday. From the start, we were impressed with the appearance, ambience and staff as so was my mother. This helped reduce, if not remove,
any anxiety on mother's behalf whilst at the home.

Dad decided at very short notice that he wanted to go into respite care whilst I and my brother were on holiday. The staff were very helpful and accommodating in helping me facilitate his stay. The standard of accommodation is excellent and I knew he would be well cared for which gave me peace of mind.

The home looks and feels like a five-star hotel. My husband was welcomed and made to feel at home by all the staff, and I was reassured and happy to leave him in their capable hands.

The staff were all very kind and caring. They made us feel welcome and all seemed happy in their work and wanted my mother to be happy. The food was lovely and my mother definitely enjoyed being looked after for her short respite stay. She has already booked another "holiday".

I've been in the home for just 2 weeks and so far, so good. My room, the homes facilities are really nice, even though I can't always make the most of them. The staff and carers look after us well. The meals are good, although, a bit too 'international' for my taste.

My mother-in-law was not sure what to expect when she left hospital and transferred to this care home, but everything has been seamless. The home is of an excellent standard, her room is nice and the staff and carers brilliant. She enjoys her meals and gets on really well with other residents. All in
all, a real "home from home".

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was initially in the home for respite care following the death of my father. She has been made to feel so welcome and at home. The staff are all very kind and helpful and they have taken great care to integrate her with other residents and help her socialise after a traumatic time. She has
now decided to become a permanent resident. I am so pleased as I feel happy in the knowledge that she is safe, secure and in a beautiful home where she will be well cared for and looked after.

Overall a very good experience, once I had settled down, everything is kept nice and runs smoothly but too far to walk to the nearest pub. The other residents and staff are very nice and saving my room and place in the restaurant for my next visit.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
A stunning environment for residents - beautifully styled, light and airy with excellent facilities. At the time of writing, only the ground floor restaurant is used but upstairs lounges are available for residents use. Rooms very in size but all are well furnished and comfortable. The rooms with patio
doors are particularly good although there is access to the gardens from two lounges with plenty of seating. It seems well managed with cheerful, caring staff although communication could perhaps be improved at times.

My Mother in Law has settled really well and very quickly into her new home. She loves the activities and feels valued as a person. She is extremely happy here and is treated with respect and dignity. We feel she is safe and her every need is attended to. Complete 'home from home' well done to all staff

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Augustus Court has proved to be such a special, fantastic place for my grandmother. Because she is so well cared for it has meant that she has got more independence back and now enjoys the company of other residents. The friendly approachable and caring staff make Augustus Court such a lovely place.
They have helped my grandmother to feel content, happier and like she has got some of her life back.

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.
