Review from Helen Z (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was not an easy decision to put our mother, who has vascular dementia, in full time residential care.
My sister and I looked at many Care Homes and we are both so glad that we chose Buchanan Court for our mother.
The Home is spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly and welcoming and offer an exceptionally
high standard of care, in my opinion.
The carers really do take the time and trouble to get to know the individual residents' likes and dislikes and make an effort to accommodate the individual's personal needs.
I cannot say how much it means to me to hear my mother laughing with the Carers and to know that she feels safe, happy and cared for and is treated with dignity and respect. The entertainments that are provided at Buchanan Court are much appreciated by the Residents and their attending relatives. Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Buchanan Court for all their hard work and dedication.

My experience at Buchanan Court Care Home has been excellent. I was on Byron ward. Bearing in mind that many of the occupants of Byron ward have multiple problems and are often very ill and need a lot of attention. My observation is that the nursing and care staff work very hard and give wonderful,
kind care to everyone. I felt it was important to all staff that I acknowledged this!!

Review from S M (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 July 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a difficult experience at another care home, my father was no longer the man we knew-his personality had faded, and we were deeply concerned. That's when I began searching for an alternative care provider who could truly meet his needs.
From the very first day at this home, the transformation
was remarkable. The team supported my family and me through every step-explaining funding options, different types of care, and how they could tailor support to my father's specific needs.
In just five months, my father has regained his speech and, most importantly, his personality. The staff are incredibly approachable and have made us feel like part of their extended family. Their compassion and professionalism have made all the difference.
I've already recommended this home to others because of the outstanding care and support both my father and I have received. It's been a truly life-changing experience.
Reply from Lorelei Shepherd, Reviews Team at Buchanan Court

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. We're truly moved to hear about your father's transformation and the positive impact our team has had on your family. Supporting each resident with compassion, dignity, and tailored care is at the heart of everything we do, and knowing that your father has regained his speech and personality means the world to us. We're honoured to be part of his journey and grateful for your trust and recommendation. Your words inspire us to continue delivering the highest standard of care every day.

It is never an easy decision to move your loved one into a Nursing Home but the moment I walked into Buchanan Court, I knew it was going to be the right place for my mum. The home is light and welcoming, and the accommodation clean and tidy. Ensuite rooms are large, comfortable and quickly made homely.
Most importantly, the staff at all levels are professional, approachable, supportive and kind. From initial contact to moving in, we were provided with clear and helpful information, and any questions answered with good advice. My mum settled in very quickly and continues to receive a very good level of care which is flexible and tailored to her needs as they change. There is a genuine interest in each person, their needs and their quirks, and our whole family feels supported.

The lifestyle coordinator and the team are extraordinary, their dedication and care for the residents is something of a joy to watch and that is why all the residents are so happy. The chef is also unbelievable, great food.
The place is warm, fun and spotless. It was a joy to have Mum there in the
holiday season and she was very happy and well cared for.

My father moved into Buchanan Court in November and lives there now. He has vascular dementia and Alzheimer's. The staff there, at every level, have made a huge effort to get to know Dad's likes and dislikes, life history and eccentricities. They're kind, thoughtful and caring and the way they manage
both his mental and physical needs is very impressive.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This was only the second care home we looked at for my Dad, but as soon as we entered we knew this was home.
We began with a five week respite stay in November 2023 and eventually full time dementia care from June 2024 until Dad sadly passed away in November.
All the staff guided us through the whole
process clearly and kindly. They not only looked after Dad but they cared about us to. We could always talk about any concerns. The communication was superb and I never doubted that Dad was in the right place.

Review from Anne J (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother celebrated her 100th birthday this weekend at this care home. She has been a resident there for three and a half years so this birthday was very special. All the staff at the care home made sure it was a real celebration! From the start, they decorated the foyer with lovely balloons and Mum
was dressed in the outfit I had got her - plus a tiara and sparkly sash. We were entertained by a lovely singer who was the daughter of one of the relatives of a resident there too. Our family made up a party of eight adults and two very young children and were seated around Mum, with other residents close by. There was much music, laughter, food, drinks and cake for everyone. Mum did manage to wave and clap to the music and loved her party food - also holding her great-grandchildren - no mean feat when they aren't exactly small! I cannot thank the staff enough - well done all of you for making the day special - and Mum got her special card from the King and Queen too.

After a week in hospital, following a fall, my mother was transferred to Buchanan Court to recover. The care was excellent and the team were kind, considerate and looked after her so well. Even though the staff were sometimes under pressure, the care remained good and treated my mother with consideration
and respect. The physio/rehab was very supportive and helped her recover well. They also were very helpful when visiting her, happy to help out and answer any questions. My mother is now back home, with the support she needs and having greatly improved during her stay.

My husband seems to have settled in well and appears to be happy. The carers work hard and are very helpful and his room is kept very clean and tidy. I would like to see him more involved in activities. Music and singing, which he loves, is very important for Alzheimer's sufferers. It is quite difficult
when there are only a couple of girls, involved with activities, across all the floors.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident of Elton Unit since 2019 where her care has been of an extremely high standard. The carers and team leaders are friendly, hardworking and always willing to solve any query that I may have. The recent allocation of key workers for each resident is also an added bonus. My
mother's room is clean, warm and welcoming, just as Buchanan Court is in general. Residents have the opportunity to take part in various activities, however, there is a need for more at weekends. The quality of the meals does not reflect the high cost of residing at Buchanan Court, however, a new chef is in the process of being employed. Over the past few years, there have been changes in management which has affected the running of the home and brought about a lack of communication. There has been improvement by the present management, however, it would be wise to attend the relative's video meetings held by the care home manager to give and hear the views of other relatives and to be kept informed of future plans and changes as these are not always communicated to those that do not attend.

The care that my mother currently receives is excellent. The staff are attentive and go beyond the call of duty in ensuring that residents are treated well and are safe and comfortable. With the high turnover of management staff, I feel that relatives are not always being kept in touch with what's happening
in the home and we have to keep chasing and asking obvious questions. The fees are very expensive and for that amount would expect an overall excellent service, but getting there.

My mother has been at Buchanan Court for a year and loves it. It is located in a place where she can watch the world go by through her window. It also has a lovely living area with lots of light. The staff are friendly and the food is great. Sometimes the food is too rich for the residents' age and
condition. The resident nurse is always available to talk. They really take time to talk to you. I'm happy Mom found this place.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.776)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.776) out of 10 for Buchanan Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.776 for Buchanan Court is calculated as follows: ( (159 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 201 Ratings = 4.776
  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 Buchanan Court is based on 17 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Welcome to Buchanan Court. My background is in nursing. In fact, I worked as a paramedic for the air ambulance for a long time, and as a unit manager in a brain injury department. When I joined Care UK, I started out as a nurse assessor and clinical lead, before progressing to be a home manager.


I’m very proud to work for Care UK – it’s one of the leading providers of older people’s care in this country and it has great systems and clear values. It also supports its colleagues to do their best work and to progress.


One of my favourite parts of my role is meeting with residents and their families and understanding their needs. I love seeing people flourishing with the person-centred care they receive from our fantastic team. Supporting them to live the life they want – that’s our ultimate goal at Care UK.


I’m personally passionate about ensuring every person we care for is happy, safe, understood and able to continue enjoying their relationships with their loved ones.


In my spare time I like to unwind by watching movies and reading books. I’m from Romania originally and, when I can, I still like to travel and experience new places, people and cultures.
