Review from Margaret J (Daughter of Resident) published on 6 June 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother stayed for respite in which time she was very comfortable with a lovely room. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Meals were varied, not always what she liked. I suppose you can't please everyone all the time, but maybe one plain dish every day would be appreciated.
Reply from Meridian, Careline Team at Augustus Court Care Centre

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review. We really value the feedback provided by those who use our services.
Making sure Residents have a choice of their favourite foods is really important to us and we apologise if we have fallen short of the high standards we aspire to.
We record individual preferences to make sure our fresh food menus are created around what our Residents want most. We are delighted to welcome families and loved-ones to share in mealtimes, and the Sunday roast is a special time at many of our homes.
Thanking you again for taking the time to provide really helpful feedback about the home.

My mother settled very well into Augustus Court due to the friendly and caring nature of all of the staff. I was particularly pleased that mum joined in many of the varied social activities on offer and happily took her meal in the restaurant. Mum is very happy to return to Augustus Court in the autumn
and I shall relax knowing the care is exceptional.

It's ideal is Augustus Court. I would recommend to not just anybody but everybody. The staff are great. The manager is very good. My room is very nice, its clean. I interview new staff and ask questions that I want answering. The food is excellent with a good selection. I have made friends with all
the staff and residents. My workmates come to visit me and are made welcome by the staff.

From the first visit to Augustus Court Care Home with my mum we were made to feel extremely welcome which made the decision to place her in the home much easier. She has now been there since opening in early February and feels very much at home as well as safe and cared for. the care and attention she
has received from all the staff is exemplary and I would not hesitate to recommend Augustus Court Care Home to others.

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.
