Review from Linsey H (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This wonderful specialised place has been opened in June 25- taking residents with them from another care home.
Without reservation, I can say that each and every person involved is exceptional in attitude.
We have had many issues with our family member that resides here , but at Evelyn Court, no
problem is too great.
They keep us informed and take on board our opinions, finding the best solution possible.
Always with the residents best interest at heart.
Besides their great caring qualities they also have a gorgeous environment with a relaxed atmosphere. We're
made to feel welcome always.
I'd recommended Evelyn Court with hesitation and hope that there is space available if or when its my turn to be taken care of.

Review from Joanne R (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mother-in-law has been with this amazing team of carers for 2 years and they are simply wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They keep you well informed of any issues with your loved ones. They provide the best care possible for their residents. There is always something fun happening, whether
it be baking, activities or even just a chippy tea. We couldn't ask for anything more from this fantastic, caring, professional team of people. They certainly do go above and beyond.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.996) out of 10 for Evelyn Court Care Home 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.996 for Evelyn Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.996
  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 Evelyn Court Care Home is based on 22 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 36 registered maximum number of service users is 7.2, which has been reached with 22 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.
