Review from Audrey L (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 June 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum has been in Abbedale for over 5 years now. Both my sister and I are extremely happy with her care and mum is happy and content there. Mum's room is always clean and tidy with an en-suite and large TV. There has been a lot of thought put into the decor in the home with giant freezes that give
the impression you're sitting in a conservatory and looking out to the countryside, there are also 'windows' along the wall with ledges with plant pots etc on them. There is a sensory room and the lounge has normally music playing which the residents enjoy singing along to. There is regularly entertainment on and the residents enjoy days out. The food is exceptional with the chef winning awards, relatives are invited to taster session where they can sample the variety of food on offer. There has been so much thought and care put into this home that I cannot recommend it enough and feel so fortunate that my mum is living there.

My mum has been in the care home for a couple of months now and she has settled in extremely well. The staff are professional and very helpful with the facility being exceptionally clean with a positive vide. Mum has gained some weight (which she needed to do) and has met some new friends which has
helped her with her social skills and overall interaction.

It's not easy when your partner of over 40 years is diagnosed with dementia. It is however, extremely beneficial when the service provided at her care home is of a high standard.
At Abbeydale, my wife is given excellent care and the staff genuinely try to make her life happier. They help me and advise
when I want to contribute on my wife's welfare. I have a positive relationship with all staff. When my friend visited with me he commented on the good interaction with the staffs and me. I am totally satisfied with all aspects of care and attention.

Since my uncle has arrived in Abbeydale Court. We are amazed with the care the staff provides him. All the staff go above and beyond to make sure each resident is treated with love, respect and dignity. I couldn't imagine a better place for my uncle to spend his final years. Everyone from management

Mum was unwell requiring visit from GP, Hospital at Home and then visit to hospital by Ambulance. Staff were very supportive to the family during the day this was going on. Checking in that we were okay as well as Mum and in attendance at each of the medical visits until we left in the Ambulance.
Their support was invaluable.

In general the care home is excellent. The residents are well looked after with plenty of activities to keep them engaged. My dad is happy here and we are confident that he is being cared for. The only negative is sometimes had to ask for things to be done too many times.

Mum has not been particularly well and had great care and attention. Home lost a few great staff, and are very missed.
Reply from Grace Sloan, Home Manager at Abbeydale CourtThank you for your review. It is always difficult when a care home loses staff however it is good that staff have the opportunity to try new things. We have been working hard recently to build the team and have taken time to employ staff with experience. Thank you for your patience whilst these staff are fully inducted

Abbeydale meets all my mother's needs and more. It's a beautiful home and everybody looks after her with care and respect. Food is exceptional and we get to sample some at taster nights. Management, carers and activitiy coordinators all do an amazing job. It's a well run care home and everybody has
a role to play, and they all do it so well. Well done Abbeydale, so happy my mum's a resident in your home.

Excellent facility , great level of engagement with my mum, lots of great services so mum thinks she is in a rehab hotel which helps with her anxiety over not being in a care home. Totally recommend, seriously don't think mum would still be with us if she wasn't at Abbeydale.
Staff are so helpful and
patient , lots of good humour and camaraderie. Nursing care is excellent and I can sleep at night knowing mum is looked after.

The staff at Abbeydale are wonderful - very friendly, patient and extremely hardworking.
My Dad can be challenging to deal with but he has received nothing but respect and kindness from everyone.
The home is always spotlessly clean, warm and welcoming and I know (from my Dad) that the food is excellent
which is high praise indeed from him!
There are always plenty of activities for the residents to get involved in as well.
All in all a fantastic environment and great staff

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.798)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.798) out of 10 for Abbeydale 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.798 for Abbeydale Court is calculated as follows: ( (268 Excellents x 5) + (62 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.798
  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 Abbeydale Court is based on 28 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 109 registered maximum number of service users is 21.8, which has been reached with 28 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.
