Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care provided is of an excellent, kind and understanding nature. The food is very satisfying and of good quality with an excellent standard. The hygiene is satisfactory but of a clean appearance. The staff are always pleasant and of an understanding disposition. The overall care is very pleasing.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I couldn't have asked for a better home. I could not fault the nurses or the people in light green, not only for Dad but for all the family. Everyone has been fantastic. I could not have asked for better.
I know he was only here for a short time but we appreciate everything that has been done.
The
night nurses as well. Everyone was so caring it was like my family.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.556)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.556) out of 10 for Lavender Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 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 4.631 for Lavender Court is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 203 Ratings = 4.631
  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 4.925 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Lavender 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 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 = 3.925
    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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, 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: Registered Manager

Lavender has a dedicated, caring and happy team who thrive on their dedication to their job roles and to care for our residents. We have a very friendly environment and do our best to always make you feel welcome.


Lavender Court has a lovely open courtyard area, which can be used at any time by residents, along with other outside garden areas, and we enjoy hosting some brilliant events in this space. The home is situated next door to a Lidl and very close to pubs, takeaways and Taunton town centre – our residents and their relatives make good use of these facilities.


We have a team of four activity coordinators who are so enthusiastic about ensuring we have lots of activities available at Lavender Court, along with outsourced entertainers and theatre productions. We also try and accommodate as many outings as possible to garden centres, cafes, going into town, walks around Hamilton Park and going to events such as the Taunton Flower Show.


I feel very proud and grateful to be the Manager of Lavender Court.
