I'm so pleased my mother-in-law is living in this 5-star care home. All staff/management are excellent. Very nice atmosphere, a spotless place. Talking to other residents, they are also happy and loving being there. Keep up the good work all of you.

Everyone has looked after me very well. Food good. Rooms and facilities are OK. The staff are friendly and always helpful. Apart from being in my own home, I couldn't live in a better place.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

We are very happy with the care and support my dad is getting from the care home on a daily basis. They encourage him to join in with the activities and are always happy to help us with any questions we have.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Facility matches the impressive website presence. New well-designed, homely environment, including small lounges, views of the sea and garden. Staff very attentive and welcoming. Our mother, despite her dementia, has settled well and has told us she was pleased with her "choice of flat". On each visit,
we were offered refreshments. Despite living on the other side of the world, we feel pleased that Mum has the best home for her care.

Review from Lynn B (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to the home and was welcomed by the happy, thoughtful staff. The carers made sure that my dad's needs were tended to in all areas. It is a bright and cheerful home where all staff greet us, even the dogs. I live in Australia and will be returning there soon, so I am so grateful that he
is in a beautiful home with carers and staff that really care. I would recommend this care home to anyone who is considering a place for their loved ones. A safe, cheerful and clean home. Thank you.

Review from Jill M (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As I was Dad's carer, it was a very hard decision to put my dad into care. From the moment I walked into Skelton Court, I knew it was the right place for him. The home has a friendly, homely feel. Staff are professional, but at the same time, caring and loving. Nothing is too much trouble. My dad has
dementia, and since being in the home, he has become more engaging - chatting, laughing and dancing... not to mention the singing! I can rest easy knowing how well cared for my dad is. It is the beginning of a new life chapter, and I can now become my dad's daughter, once again, instead of his carer. Highly recommend this lovely home.

My mother-in-law was admitted to Skelton Court for respite. I cannot fault in any way the care my mother-in-law has received. The home itself is five-star, and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking first-class care in all areas.

Review from Robert M (Resident) published on 25 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been aware of the group's homes for 50 years. I have spent time in other care homes, but none compare to Skelton Court and the care home services. I became aware recently of the opening of Skelton Court and applied, and to my delight, I found out I would become the first-ever resident. I am now
in my third week, and the whole experience has been so professional. The home is just like a first-class hotel. The staff and management have been so helpful and friendly, and no tasks are too big or small for them. The food and menus have been excellent, with a great range of choices to choose from. All facilities are first class, and I am very happy to be here and to be safely looked after by the excellent Skelton Court team and management.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.694)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.694) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.694 for Skelton Court is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.694
  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 19 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 19 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.

Tony

Tony Griffiths

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.
