Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife came into Skelton Court in 2023/24 for respite. This was an excellent experience for her with first class care and excellent food and accommodation. This enables me to get some well earned rest from being a full time carer. Skelton Court became my second home because it was only 500 metres away
from my home and I could visit her at anytime. I used to have meals with her and spent hours with her.

My wife has been a resident since 3rd August 2023. At the end of May her health deteriorated and was transferred to hospital for a period of six days. My son and I were told by a consultant my wifes life was nearing the end and after consultation she returned to Skelton Court where the staff showed
their caring, loving and exceptionally understanding manner.

Review from D S (Son of Resident) published on 17 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Home is well maintained and clean. Majority of staff are caring and polite who show genuine caring feelings for the residents. Food is well presented and varied. If there is something that they know my dad is not keen on they will find an alternative option for him. The big downside to his care is the
ridiculous amount we have to pay for his care, when somebody who is not self funded gets the same care for a far lower price being paid for by the local authority i.e £1250 s.fund - £850 LA Funded approx. This year his costs increased by 8% up from £1166 p/w to £1250!! His state pension only increased by 4% ie £10 per month.
Reply from Tony Griffiths, Home Manager at Skelton Court

Thank you for taking the time to leave Skelton Court a review and for rating the Overall Experience as 5-stars. We are really sorry to hear your frustrations about the cost of care and we of course would be happy to discuss this in more detail with you. My door is always open and we look forward to speaking with you soon.

The care home is very secure and clean in the main area and residents' rooms. The cleaners are always busy when you visit. Meals look amazing and nutritious, always extra nibbles like cakes, crisps for residents to get if they're still hungry and regular drinks. Background music is nice, staff are amazing,
very caring and pleasant and nothing is too much for them to do.

Dad spent over 12 months at Skelton Court. He settled in very quickly and developed a connection with all the carers very well. He was encouraged to participate in the many activities held on a regular basis, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
He was provided with excellent care, meals and companionship
throughout his stay.
During his final few days, he was treated with the upmost care, courtesy and dignity from everyone involved.

My dad has been a resident in the care home for nearly a year. He has settled in well and both myself and my sister are very happy with the care he has received. We are always informed by staff if there have been any issues/incidents involving our dad. If we have asked for anything to be done for dad,
the staff have usually acted straight away. The staff are all very kind and caring to all the residents. The activities they have are amazing. My dad seems to love them. The home is very clean, the laundry is clean and fresh, the food is wonderful. It is a very warm and welcoming home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have lived in Skelton Court since the 4th of April 2024. I arrived ill, tired and frightened. Living on my own was becoming very difficult. here I feel safe, secure and looked after. The place is lovely, more like a luxury hotel than a care home. The staff are caring and cannot do enough for you.
It's a home-from-home. when friends brought food for lunch, the staff set a table with serviettes and wine glasses in the garden, another time my daughter stayed for lunch. Really, I can't praise Skelton Court enough. I'm as happy as I could be, given my circumstances. this place must beat all the others.

From what I've seen this is the best home around. Friendly staff, very clean. I'm told the food is very good. The rooms and communal areas are very nice, good decor. Maybe more activities, depending on what different residents want, as it can be boring.

There are no activities for my husband. Promises were made to take him for his paper and take him for a walk. This rarely happened. Even though he has dementia he can hold a sensible conversation and attempts the Times crossword each day. He is mobile with a stick. He was well looked after and the food
was wonderful. We enjoyed the monthly singing group.
Reply from Jayne Curry, District Manager at Skelton Court

Thank you for taking the time to review Skelton Court, your feedback is very important to us. We are really pleased that your husband enjoyed the food and that you both enjoyed the singing group and will pass on your comments to the relevant teams. We are sorry to hear we haven’t met expectations on this occasion. All activities and outings are arranged with our residents, and we always strive to provide a safe and enjoyable experience. Skelton Court is a new home and as more residents move in we will be keeping our activity offer under constant review to ensure there are engagement and activity options for all. I am always happy to discuss this or anything else with you at a mutually convenient time.

Lovely, warm and welcoming atmosphere from the moment of entry until departure. The staff are very friendly and helpful and deal with all queries promptly. There is a nice family feel, as I have gotten to know a few of the residents, as they have their meet-up place near reception.
The cooks have
worked with my aunt to find soft foods she can eat.
We are so pleased to have found this place; my aunt can comfortably spend her final time in life.

Skelton Court is a lovely place to live, I only went there for two weeks of respite but have fell in love with the place, the staff are all kind and caring. The food is exceptional, I am on a wheat and dairy-free diet and the cooks and carers all provided so well for me. Lovely gardens and lounges,
always provided entertainment and many cups of tea, all in all, a pleasant stay.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.730)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.730) out of 10 for Skelton Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 18 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 4.730 for Skelton Court is calculated as follows: ( (165 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.73
  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 Skelton 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, 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 Joined: 2024

Hello, my name is Tony, and I am relatively new to the Anchor family, but I have worked within the social care field for over 35 years. My journey to Anchor Court began in my early 20s when I became a Senior carer in a small residential home in Middlesbrough. It’s been an incredible journey to get here, which has rewarded me with the skills I need to provide an environment where staff are able to deliver personalised care to residents, knowing that the resident is at the centre of everything we do.


I’m excited about the rest of my journey with Anchor and being Skelton Court's Registered Manager. I look forward to meeting you and supporting you to find the right care to meet your needs. I would like to invite you to pop in for a chat and a look around the home.
