My dads stay at Sutherland Court has been amazing. Cannot fault the lovely, friendly care team who have supported my dad with respect and everyone has been so friendly. It has made his stay all the better and easier for us. I will highly recommend this care home and no doubt will be happy to bring him
back as his needs progress.

My husband had dementia and medical issues, his stay was short but he was well cared for throughout until his death. He was treated with respect and managed his dignity. Every staff member provided the best possible care to my husband. I was updated daily on his care and all of his needs were met. A
warm and kind environment which I could recommend. I was also well supported.

Searched for a suitable home for my mother for a while and then someone suggested this one. Went for a look around by appointment then again unannounced.
It's a beautiful clean friendly home staffed by amazing caring staff.
From the day my mother arrived, I've been kept up to date with everything.
The daily menu is great too. They also hire entertainers regularly.
Mother is so happy & well cared for. We can relax knowing she's in good hands.
So if you're thinking about this place for your loved one go for it. I'm glad we did.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has come to the care home after nine weeks in hospital recovering from a broken hip. On our first visit to the home, we were impressed by the welcome given and clear evidence that residents were encouraged to socialise. My mum has a lovely room and the standard of decor/cleanliness is excellent.
Communal areas are extremely comfortable, clean and well-maintained. Altogether we are happy that my mother is well looked after and happy.

Very happy with the care received for both my parents. They are on separate floors but the staff always make sure Mom and Dad see each other on most days. The care here at Sutherland Court is next to none, it's just amazing and both parents are happy to be here, especially our dad, he has thrived a
lot since coming here in June 2023.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband has an atypical mixed dementia, Alzheimer's and vascular, which has meant that he has declined rapidly over four years. I looked at a number of care homes before deciding to put him into Sutherland Court. He has settled in well and is happy there. His needs are met and the staff respond well
to him. He is well looked after and cared for in pleasant, homely surroundings. There are daily activities to keep him engaged and he enjoys the nutritious meals.

After researching homes in the area we found Sutherland Court Care Home the most homely, which is ideal for my mother. The room is excellent with lovely views. The Christmas decorations are beautiful and lift everyone's spirits. The staff are excellent, very attentive and all introduced themselves on
my mother's arrival. A coordinator is brilliant at organising things for the residents. he came round on the first day to introduce himself and explained what went on in the home.

Review from H A (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I had a mixed experience with my mum's two-week respite care. Staff generally were extremely friendly and helpful, but not all showed the same level of care or understanding towards my mum's needs. Management was excellent and displayed respect at all times. It would have been preferable if the same
staff and a higher number of staff were consistently on duty, as Mum found it difficult being cared for by so many people. Mum has quite specific needs that should have been provided for on a regular and consistent basis, but this was dependent on staff. Generally, I would consider using this Care Home again in the future.
Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Sutherland Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to review Sutherland Court. I am sorry you had a mixed experience but pleased you felt members of the team were friendly and helpful.
All our staff receive a robust induction upon commencement of employment and training that is refreshed annually. Our staffing levels are reviewed at a minimum monthly and are based on the needs of our residents. We always maintain safe staffing levels. Colleagues are allocated to a community within Sutherland Court to provide consistency to our residents; however, during holiday seasons or any leave of absence, we do have colleagues covering for members of their team. Thank you again for your feedback which will help us to improve the delivery of our kind care. We look forward to seeing you again in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.783)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.783) out of 10 for Sutherland Court Care Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.837 for Sutherland Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (143 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.837
  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 4.946 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Sutherland Court Care Home is based on 14 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.8 = 0.946
  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.
