Such a lovely friendly place. Mum has been welcomed with open arms. The care has been amazing from the nursing to the chef. As the daughter, I feel happy and relieved that my mum is being looked after so well. It's such an amazing and peaceful place.

With all the problems the virus has caused and with moving into a new building with further snags, the staff have done well in sorting them out.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment mum and I came to look around Invicta Court we just knew this was the right place for her. This home has to be seen to be believed - it has been very well thought out and there are so many extra touches which have made it feel so warm and special, such as the fantastic garden with raised
flower beds and private patio so mum can still indulge in her beloved gardening. She loves her room and the food she says is great. But the very best part of Invicta Court is the staff, who - in all areas of the home - have shown such care and genuine interest and affection for mum. The home has a warm and welcoming feel to it, even in these difficult COVID times. We look forward to visiting the cafe and sharing the garden when restrictions can be lifted but in the meantime, it is so wonderful to know that mum is in the right place and is happy. We are so grateful - this is an exceptional place.

Review from Denise-amelia A (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 18 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nan was only at Invicta Court for a short period of time before she sadly passed away. The staff were amazing in her last few days; I will be forever thankful for what they did for her.
My experience of Invicta Court is that staff are so friendly and treat their residents like members of the family.
Although this is a new care home, I really hope it stays so that other families can experience great care for their family members.
Thank you again to everyone at Invicta for everything you did for my Nan. You will always hold a special place in my heart.

Although Mum was only at Invicta Court for a short time before she passed away the staff treated her like one of their family.
She was treated with respect, kindness and dignity. I too, was looked after by Invicta Court staff in a way that was second to none.
Long may Invicta Court be present in
Maidstone.
Three cheers for Invicta Court.

My dear friend was very wary of having to go into a care home. I can say with no doubt that it was the best thing for her, she is very happy there. The home is stunning. The carers are very attentive and kind. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. The food is outstanding. It was her birthday last
week and the chef made her the most delicious cake. If you are looking for a care home for your loved one, look no further than Invicta Court.

We moved my 97-year-old mother into Invicta Court about a month ago and so pleased we did. We were anxious that it would be traumatic and confusing for her but she settled in immediately and looks very happy and comfortable in her room. The staff have been amazing, welcomed her with open arms and her
care is exceptional.

My grandmother moved here recently and from her arrival all staff have treated her with compassion and respect. Moving day was met with balloons and clapping from the staff, which was completely unexpected but a lovely touch. Due to COVID we have not been able to explore all the facilities and can’t
wait to visit and make use of the bar and cafe. The food, I am told, is lovely and the updates regarding activities within the home is lovely to see when we have to keep our distance. The whole place feels homely and more like a hotel in reception with beautiful grounds. My grandmother’s brought some plants from home and the staff asked where she wanted them and helped her plant them. My grandmother is happy and that’s the main thing and the staff are always on hand to help answer any questions.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Invicta Court mid-April and although restrictions due to COVID-19 were in place she was welcomed by all the staff and shown into her beautiful room, which has views of the well-kept gardens. From day one she was extremely happy. All the staff are friendly and caring, nothing seems
to be too much trouble. The food choice and presentation is "like a 5 star hotel" she says, homemade soups, cakes etc. Activities are varied and include gardening, baking and of course bingo which the residents seem to love. My sister and I are very pleased that Mum joined Invicta Court.
A big thank you to them.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.952)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.952) out of 10 for Invicta Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 46 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 4.952 for Invicta Court is calculated as follows: ( (519 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 544 Ratings = 4.952
  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 Invicta Court is based on 46 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 46 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

I was keen to join Care UK because it is a well-respected organisation with impressive values and a strong portfolio of homes around the country. I joined Invicta Court at the beginning of its journey as I was keen to be involved in commissioning a new home and shaping the standards of care, right from the start.


My favourite part of the day at our Maidstone care home is when I get the chance to talk to the residents. Listening to their life experiences is fascinating, and by getting to know the people we care for, we’re better able to provide person-centred, high quality care.


I’m enjoying working with the team to build Invicta Court’s reputation for great care, to enable residents to live their lives to the full, and to make residents’ wishes a reality.


At Invicta Court I'm also the Infection Prevention & Control (IPC) Champion for the home. It's my job to establish and maintain a high standard of hygiene and cleanliness so that residents, colleagues and visitors keep safe.
