We found the staff to be truly wonderful, very helpful and caring. Edwardstow is a very clean, nicely furnished care home. It has a calming effect when entering the building. I cannot sing the praises of all staff highly enough. Greatly enjoyed my stay with them all.

We moved my mum, who has dementia, into Edwardstow in April this year. Despite this being a difficult process for the family, the Edwardstow team were so kind, caring, informative and overall basically just brilliant from the start. It felt like I was leaving my mum in experienced and considerate
hands. Since my mum has been at the home, we have actually seen an improvement in her overall demeanour, whereas she was beginning to fade away at home. She is making friends and doing things that she would point blank refuse to do previously.
Whenever I visit her, I always feel that the atmosphere of the home is full of positive energy. The staff are generous in their kindness and I feel huge gratitude towards Edwardstow, the manager and his team.

Reply from Nabeel Khuweis, Customer Services Manager at Edwardstow Court

Thanks so much for this fantastic review! It really means so much to the whole team to get such lovely feedback. We're so glad your mum is happy at Edwardstow and if there's ever anything more we can do for you or her, please just ask!

Edwardstow isn't just a place of safety, but somewhere she is truly cared for as she deserves. The care team treat all the residents as they would their own family, they work very hard to ensure she has everything she needs; good food, a warm and cosy environment and plenty of activities to keep her
just busy enough. On top of that they take time to get to their residents and talk about their interests . They keep us up to date on everything and it's never a problem to just drop in and have lunch, or to take her out at a moments notice. The little on site cafe is a lovely space to be able to have privacy, whilst enjoying a coffee and a treat, and it is always clean and welcoming. I Highly recommend.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The layout, decor and equipment are perfect. Especially impressive is that the building is light and airy with soft colours encouraging a sense of peace and harmony. As a visiting friend said, 'it's like a first class hotel'. Not only is the cooking of the highest standard, the variety, presentation
and ease-of-eating of the food is an eye-opener for anyone caring for loved-ones with dementia - several soft portions on small plates in as many different colours as you can muster. Most obviously a care home needs carers who see their role as much more than just a job that earns them money. As well as being well-trained, they need to have empathy and understanding - neither of which is easy to keep up day after day on 12 hour shift. Edwardstow Court has them in abundance. PS My views are based on two weeks' respite care for both myself and my partner of some 57 years plus daily visits to be with her now that she is a permanent resident.

We came to visit the day after she was released from hospital after her fall. Her face was badly bruised and cut she had lost a lot of weight. Didn't know my husband and me at all, had lost so much weight and wouldn't talk, that was in December. Since then she has improved so much in every way. January
she was more herself and by February she looked and talked as she always had, it is now a pleasure to visit. The staff are a delight.

I went to Edwardstow Court after hospitalisation for a severe bout of influenza. The facilities of the Court were entirely suitable for my needs, whilst basically, were to rebuild my strength and health in an attempt to return to my ability to live alone without help. Everything about the Court is of
a very high standard. There is an impressive and tasteful feel about everything, in the construction and fitting out. You get the immediate feeling that the people will be happy here, as I was in for a short time settling in, despite the illness. The atmosphere was aided by friendliness and companionship which residents and staff exceeded. A great home.

Excellent support and understanding plus amazing patience. My husband is a tall and quite fit 78 year old but his dementia is severe. He is constantly looking for food and is cunning about finding it even with his type 2 diabetes. The latter he does not understand now, although he has been on medication
for 17 years! The activities are great and with a willful escape artist, they understand he needs to get outside! My only concern is the presence of biscuits, breakfast marmalade etc always in the kitchen area which he can easily access when he says "I need to go to the loo!"

The atmosphere at Edwardstow is fantastic due to the caring, dedicated and cheerful staff. Residents are treated with care, respect and genuinely positive energy. There is a real emphasis on engaging families and friends of residents, alongside the wider community, which helps the home to feel open
and inclusive - not in any way cut off. The range of activities and outings on offer is a real asset. I've been impressed with the interface between local medical and nursing care, which means any issues or ailments are picked up quickly and managed well. Facilities are always spotless and mum's room is clean, modern and very comfortable. We particularly enjoy the gardens and the woodland walk, and the lovely cafe is a welcome space to host visitors. I highly recommend Edwardstow.

Right from my first visit to Edwardstow, I have felt confident and relaxed with the care the establishment provides. Dementia with one's spouse is a difficult and very stressful journey. The last thing I require would be stress related to the quality of care my wife is receiving. I really cannot fault
the physical premises and the professionalism of the staff who, without exception, go out of their way to ensure their guests and family and friends' needs are well catered for. Edwardstow is a lovely place which I strongly recommend.

My husband has been staying at Edwardstow for 4 weeks on the dementia floor. I feel that he is receiving excellent compassionate and consistent care. The staff are cheerful pleasant and polite. They know the patients and often greet visitors by name. Visitors are always made welcome, I am always kept
informed of any issues or changes in his condition and I am aware of the knowledge and professionalism of the staff. There are organised activities for those who are able to join in and the catering is of a very good standard, being adapted to individual needs. I would like to thank the staff for their ongoing support.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.644)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.644) out of 10 for Edwardstow Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.644 for Edwardstow Court is calculated as follows: ( (286 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 399 Ratings = 4.644

  • 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 Edwardstow Court 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:

    • 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
