I would like to express heartfelt thanks for the care my husband received during a short stay at Speedwell. The care staff dealt very well with his fluctuating needs, and the management were calm and helpful when we were uncertain of what arrangements needed to be made. Special thanks to the night staff,
who kept watch with the paramedic and me through the long night of waiting for ambulance arrival - (this included welcome cups of tea).
Reply from Justine Owen, Customer Relations Manager at Abbeyfield Speedwell CourtThank you so much for your review, the whole team really appreciate the feedback and I am pleased you were kept refreshed by welcomed cups of tea.

My mum moved into Abbeyfield Speedwell Court early in March this year.
Mum has really embraced the transition. She is much happier and even looks healthier, with regular meal times, loads of activities where she has been encouraged to join in.
Staff from front desk to cleaners, chefs and especially
a big shout out to all the entertainment staff who do a fantastic job keeping everyone engaged and smiling. (Mandy, you're fab!)

I still have full confidence in the kind respectful care given to mum which hasn't changed over the last 4 years. staff do their utmost to care for mum as best to their ability even under some difficult times when there is little cooperation from mum. if I question or ask for anything staff are happy
to provide me the information needed and give me the reassurance of continued support and care. all the staff work extremely hard and all show their care and duty to provide a service to residents and family members, they are all so very friendly and I always feel mum is in very good hands which is ultimate for me knowing mum is cared and safe . the care home provide a weekly programme of activities/entertainment for residents . the care home is always very clean and I have total trust in all the staff at speedwell court

My Godmother has been at Speedwell for 14mths and has been extremely well cared for. A very friendly atmosphere means everyone knows her, whether it's care staff, kitchen or maintenance staff, the gardener, all stop to speak to her with a natural warmth. There are lots of activities which she's encouraged
to take part in. Whenever personal care is needed curtains are always pulled even though her room is on the first floor and not overlooked.

Speedwell Court has been a blessing to us since our mum became a resident. We have been able to work together with staff so that our mum receives person-centred care. The management and carers are always willing to listen and take into consideration family suggestions, ideas and deal with concerns.
We are able to rest assured because we can see that our mum is being very well looked after.

Speedwell Court is fantastic. The staff are kind, professional and extremely caring, always treating my mum and residents with dignity and respect.

Mum was sadly only a resident at Abbeyfield Speedwell for 9 days. However the care that mum received at every level from the admin staff, medical staff, housekeeping and nursing staff was excellent in every respect. The staff were very kind and caring to me as well, and I was without a doubt that when
I was not there the excellent care continued.

Speedwell carers go above and beyond to make residents' lives as happy and fulfilled as they can be.
Birthdays are always celebrated with a cake provided by Speedwell. Mum was 94 last week and the carers made her day extra special with accommodating a good numbers of us visitors, providing a room
for us and generally making her afternoon memorable with kind words and deeds. Thank you so much.

The staff in all roles and positions are very kind and friendly, using residents' names and knowledge of their preferences and needs to care for them with compassion and skill.
Recent additions to the ground and activities teams are improving the environment and experience for residents and made the
home a pleasant place to live.
I am confident that my mother feels secure and comfortable, and despite considerable dementia, appreciates the care and contact with others that she receives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nan moved to Speedwell Court early 24. From the start the care was exceptional. The home itself has amazing facilities including a cafe, cinema and various activities rooms. The most important thing for my Nan though was the garden. A market gardener when she was young, she had grown fresh produce
and used it in her cooking all her life and Speedwell had the same ethos. They encouraged and facilitated her continuing to do what she loved safely. She grew vegetables there and there was even a 'cooking station' set up for her to make fresh pasta and sauce with the chefs acting as her sous chefs! Incredibly individualised and person centred care! There were events for every holiday and most week ends with games, visiting bands, even a visiting farm! My Nan was very social and loved to laugh and thoroughly enjoyed the activities but even more importantly she was cared for by the staff holistically, with kindness and respect and with her wishes at the forefront of any decisions made.

Having had experience dealing with several care homes over the years, Speedwell Court is outstanding in all aspects and by far the best home I have dealt with. I can't fault the level of care my father received during his stay. The staff are excellent, take a personal interest in the welfare of the
residents and kept me notified straight away of any issues that occurred.
Although his stay was only short-term, I would have no concerns if he had to return full-time.
Thank you for all your help.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On May 24th my cousin, who suffers from extreme anxiety received a hip replacement.
Speedwell Court provided the respite which was booked for two weeks initially.
My cousin is very difficult and the carers dealt with her extremely professionally even though she attacked two of them when they tried
to get her into the shower.
As my cousin failed to recover from her operation within two weeks, we needed to extend her stay at Speedwell for a further two weeks. This was done instantly and efficiently without any problem at all.
Everyone at Speedwell was very cheerful and friendly. The care home is beautifully furnished and clean and reminded me very much of a fine hotel.
I would highly recommend Speedwell Court to anyone looking for a top of the range care home with first class care.
Reply from Ian Nancollas, Fundraising Database and Compliance Officer at Abbeyfield Speedwell CourtThank you for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review. So glad to see that your cousin received the care she required. Thank you for recommending Speedwell Court.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.784)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.784) out of 10 for Abbeyfield Speedwell 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.784 for Abbeyfield Speedwell Court is calculated as follows: ( (195 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 241 Ratings = 4.784
  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 Abbeyfield Speedwell Court is based on 21 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 21 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.
