Mum moved into Acer Court in October 2022. She had been in the hospital for four weeks and was very withdrawn three months later; she is a different person. She loves the activities and joins in with most of the activities. She loves singing, and she has a lovely room and ensuite. Mum has made friends
with other residents and enjoys meals in the dining room. All the staff are kind, caring and respectful. Visiting Mum is always enjoyable. I know I don't have to worry when I go home.

I heartily recommend Acer Court. Most of the staff there exceeded the requirements for carers. My mum has become a very demanding resident due to the onset of dementia, but the staff put up with her and treat her with respect.
Mum enjoys the events they put on, even though she doesn't always attend
them.
Thank you.
PS, can I say you could not have got a bubblier, more professional receptionist!

Acer Court is a lovely home, peaceful and well maintained. My mother moved here a couple of years ago, and I know she is in a safe and caring environment. The staff are very friendly and caring. As a family, we feel contented that Mum is getting the best care for her needs, as I myself have worked in
similar premises. I value the way Mum is free to venture out into the garden and feel free to an extent. 10/10 for everything.

Communication from management I feel could be improved. Attended relatives' meeting in June, items mentioned on agenda, no further update received. Finding postal items are not being received eg postcards, new hearing aid. Finding we have to ask and investigate rather than our relatives' needs communicated
to us.

Reply from Katie Hoare, Home Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for your comments and I am sorry to hear that you have difficulties with communication with Acer Court. I would like to meet with you in person to discuss this further and improve our communication approach with yourself and other relatives.

Staff are very friendly, helpful, and always willing to answer questions. Mum has settled in well despite concerns of moving in. This has to be a reflection of how well the staff care for her. The only point from a relative perspective is better communication from the home would be appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.577)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.577 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (308 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 421 Ratings = 4.577

  • b) 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 Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Michelle Waterhall

Job Title: Customer Service Advisor

Joined: 2016

I have worked at Acer Court since March 2016. I began as a housekeeper and then progressed to care as I enjoyed helping the residents and reassuring them where needed.


I moved on to become a Customer Service Advisor in June 2021. As I enjoyed meeting people and want to help people where I can. I find my job rewarding as often people aren't sure about moving their loved ones into a care home and I feel I am able to support and reassure them. I enjoy completing my show rounds with the families and answering any questions where I can. I feel when families are looking for a care home this can be an emotional time for them and they need compassion and someone to listen and support them on their journey to find their loved one in the right place.

Joined: 2024

My name is Gemma and I am the manager here at Acer Court. I have worked for Avery for over 8 years now developing my skills from a deputy manager in a busy Avery nursing home, in Staffordshire, to becoming a successful manager at sister home Alder House and now transferring to Acer Court.


I am from Stoke on Trent and I have worked in the healthcare industry for 18 years, completing most roles that you would find in a regular care home and working my way up to the manager role completing many qualifications along the way. My main experience, knowledge and background is in Dementia care and this is an area of care that I am most passionate about.


Outside of my career, I love to go to the gym Subsequently, this has led to me signing up for many charity events such as white-collar boxing, half marathons and various assault courses. I just love to help people, in any way I can.
