Rectory Court is an inviting, well-looked-after environment like a hotel. Mum began her stay following a fall in her own home where she had lived independently for many years. She was disorientated and withdrawn when she arrived. She has been treated with respect and has been allowed to settle in her
own time. Her health has improved with the care she is receiving, so it is a pleasure to notice her progress, she is becoming her old self, trusting the facilities and beginning to take part in some of the many activities and events offered. The staff are positive and helpful and are taking a real interest, encouraging her, listening to her stories and finding out about her life. Thank you so much.

My mother came to stay at the care home after a short stay in the hospital. She stayed for just over a month and the care and kindness with which she was treated was really wonderful and very comforting. The staff were attentive, jolly and welcoming to her and us and were professional and efficient
too. The food was excellent, very fresh and varied. Mum enjoyed the garden, the company of the other residents and the fact that there was lots going on even if she wasn't able to participate in all of it. I really think it's a lovely place and is made as homely as is possible for a care home setting.

When my father arrived in April he was extremely ill and couldn't live independently any more. He was met by a lot of kind and warm people at Rectory Court. The level of care is very high and people always respond to my queries and his needs to make his stay very positive. The regular GP visits and
access to the district nurses have been invaluable. The activities are varied and creative and he makes the most of them. Friends and family are always given a warm welcome.

Due to unforeseen circumstances my mother had to be put into the care system. The team at Rectory Court were incredibly understanding and helpful. They offered care and support for my mother who thrived in their care. All of the staff were welcoming, helpful and cared for my mother which I cannot thank
them enough for. The facilities within Rectory Court were excellent, the garden offered an outside space for my mother to wander about enjoying the flowers and tranquillity. The food and dining rooms were top quality enabling my mother to enjoy food again, especially the presentation. Her room was comfortable and well proportioned with high-quality facilities within it giving her the type of rest she needed. My mother enjoyed the daily activities especially the dancing and the trip she attended and she praised the lady who organised the daily events highly. As the son who was faced with a difficult situation I could not ask for a better facility and team to look after my beloved mother.

My mother was a resident for 30 months I visited her on a regular basis. Each time I entered I felt at home all the staff knew me and almost became an 'extended family'. My mother was comfortable in this safe environment and well looked after by the caring and dedicated staff. I was always contacted
promptly if there had been any 'medical issues etc.'
The entertainment was great as was the staff member who organised the endless activities. Quiz evenings and fairs were fun and an opportunity to meet other families Birthdays were always celebrated in style.
The food was also good with plenty of options. Hot and cold drinks were readily available with a plentiful supply of cakes and biscuits. In my opinion, hygiene was of a high standard, everywhere was beautifully clean and the inhouse laundry service and staff were very efficient. Thank you to all the staff!

Without doubt, this place is amazing!
My lovely friend and neighbour moved here back in November and I can honestly say I have never seen her to happy and content.
She has made friends. She is busy every day with various activities. She has her appetite back. But over everything, she is happy and
feels safe.
The staff are amazing. They listen. They care. They know every resident very well and give them independence and dignity - nothing is too much trouble.
Well done to all the staff. Keep up the great work!

The flexibility, concern and support of staff through the very challenging process of decision-making and organisation that has led to our friend joining Rectory Court Care Home for a trial period has exceeded our expectations. We are increasingly confident that it and the purposeful and warm care over
the last weeks have paved the way for a longer-term residence. We are optimistic that this will lead to a richer quality of life for her than would have been possible in her home where she lived alone with the support of home carers and a very supportive group of friends. Rectory Court extends a welcome to friends and relatives so this support can continue, made easier by the position near to a church.
Our friend’s journey to Rectory Court was complicated by her own uncertainty and delay after a fall at home which resulted in a hospital stay. This did not trouble the admission team and they were able to keep in touch with the hospital and arrange a welcome directly on discharge.

Initially, our expectation was to secure a room in Leah Lodge. Every contact with the management was professional, warm and encouraging. Sadly, our friend's condition, after being hospitalised after a fall in her home, required the more physical supportive care offered at Rectory Court Care Home. At
every stage prior to the subsequent change of home and eventual hospital transfer, the management and staff team at Rectory Court could not have provided a more comprehensive, friendly or understanding response and support to their new resident or her concerned friends.
In just under two weeks of beginning her residence in Rectory Court, the change to her physical comfort and appearance is marked.
While still apprehensive, confused and bewildered and sometimes negative about her situation - with the enormous patience and calm, persuasive encouragement of all the dedicated and welcoming staff, there is real scope for optimism for her to have an interesting and stimulating living experience at Rectory Court.

My father has been a resident for some time. He has received very good care during that time. The staff are caring, friendly and helpful, not only towards my father but also towards his family. Staff keep us updated about any medical or other issues concerning my father and are very welcoming when we
visit. There are plenty of activities and events, which keep him mobile, engaged and active. The home is always spotlessly clean, and there is a wide range of meals to choose from. I would be happy to recommend Rectory Court.

I have nothing but praise for this outstanding care home! My mother has been a resident here for 18 months now and she couldn’t be happier. The quality of care she has received is superb. They respect her privacy whilst allowing her to reside here on her own terms in an extremely safe and caring environment.
The food is superb as are the daily activities on offer but there is no compulsion to join in if you don’t wish to. I would highly recommend this care home to any prospective client!

My dad has been a resident of Rectory Court for over a year. He initially went in for respite care following a serious illness but stayed as it was obvious that living at home was no longer a safe and viable option.
During this past year, he has been extremely well cared for by a team of people who
are friendly, extremely caring and very knowledgeable with regard to the needs and wants of their residents. All of the staff are very approachable and helpful.

My uncle's partner moved into Rectory Court as one of their first residents. She had dementia, so when looking at homes it was extremely difficult to ensure I was making the right decision on her behalf. Well I did make the right decision. She settled in well and lived her best life, remaining herself
to the end of her life. It was always ok to ask questions and to express worries, which were taken seriously. I felt very much like part of the Rectory family. The general manager is approachable, knowledgeable, caring and an effective leader. With the manager, you feel she really loves her role and everyone living at Rectory. She leads by example and has created a home with high expectations and standards, loving and caring as if everyone is her and her team’s family members.

On behalf of Dad and myself, we cannot thank you enough for all the wonderful care you have given to our relative over the past five years. She was very happy living at Rectory Court and it was always comforting for us to know how well she was being looked after. You were always available to speak to
us or message us back and were very supportive, particularly during Covid. Nothing was ever too much trouble, for which we will always be eternally grateful. Even after her hospital stays, it was very reassuring to hear how well she had settled back in. It was an enormous worry off our minds. Your tireless care and endless compassion made all the difference in her life. You and your truly caring staff were always very welcoming and attentive to her needs and went the extra mile to help us. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts, to a really great team for all your kindness and hard work.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.873)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.873) out of 10 for Rectory Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.873 for Rectory Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (187 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.873

  • 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 Rectory Court Care Home is based on 18 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 18 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.

I am married and we have a son who we’re very proud of. Much of our spare time nowadays is spent walking our two lively dogs, which we thoroughly enjoy. I also like socialising with friends and going out for meals.
