Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother had lived in Acer Court for 5 years living with Dementia. During her stay at this beautiful home which is more like a hotel than a care home, she received excellent care and attention. The staff are always professional and treat the residents with dignity. All throughout my mother's stay they
treated her as she was one of their own family, she was very well cared for and the home was never lacking in a good atmosphere and fun. The Home Manager and her Deputy always had time for the relatives and so helpful at the end of our mother's life. We will always feel that we became part of Acer Court's family as that is how all the staff made us feel. The home offered lovely well-cleaned rooms, freshly cooked food and fantastic care and communication. Thank you Acer Court.

Review from Linda T (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 November 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came into Acer in December 2018 after living alone for over 20 years. Since moving to Acer Court she has regained a lot of her lost coordination and memory. She was struggling to cope yet would not admit it to herself or anyone else. The worry of remembering her medications, appointments, bills
and cooking took its toll on her. She felt lost as many of her friends were gone or had left the area leaving her feeling isolated even though family visited regularly; it was not enough. The people she had known from her own era were now missing from her life. Those she would talk to about the good old days were no more. Acer has given her support and care, all the staff are brilliant, the rooms and facilities are superb. She has no worries with day to day life as it's taken care of, she has friends and she is safe. At 92 years old what more could we ask for the mum we all love. Throughout the COVID situation, they have kept her safe and cared for, we as a family thank them all. Well done.

I have recently visited my friend who resides at Acer Court. She was in great spirits despite the recent COVID outbreak. She said it had been tough being in lockdown but the staff had looked after her so well and been so caring that she would not have felt safer anywhere else. It was lovely to see her
looking so well. Thank you to the Acer Court staff team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff were all very pleasant and helpful. I found a nice response to a simple greeting encouraging. Being escorted on a short walk or to a shop (on a special bus) was helpful. Choirs, quizzes and entertainment in the mornings and afternoons were enjoyable. Provisions of tea/coffee, biscuits or buns
during the day was pleasant. Having my room well cared for was very helpful. Buildings appeared in the countryside, making the views interesting. Relaxing areas for walking and sitting were made by well-planted gardens. Inside was light with places to sit and talk or enjoy the views of paintings everywhere.
Reply from Angus Matthew, Senior Marketing Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you. We are pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and hope that you have settled in at home now. We would love to see you again if you are ever in the area - there is a bun with your name on it waiting for you.

He loved the staff; they became another family to him.
He was well looked after to the end.

Mum moved in first for respite while dad was in hospital and basically she didn’t want to leave so we managed to get dad in when he was released from hospital. Unfortunately, we lost mum in November but being here has really helped dad to get over the loss. Everything the staff do is for the good of
the residents I can’t thank them enough. Acer Court is a five star home with ten-star staff.

My grandma has been at Acer Croft now for a few months, When I went with my dad to enquire, the reception staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much. The management team was helpful with the transition as my dad struggled with it. The care team always put my grandma's wishes first and has built
up a great relationship with her.
Couldn't wish for a better place to take care of my grandma.

Thank you so much to the team at Acer Court, you are all fantastic.


Putting mum into a home was a difficult decision she found life at home lonely and at times dangerous. We looked around so many care homes but they were all old or had shared bathrooms or smelt so awful.
Walking into Acer Court

we instantly felt at home, we knew it was the right place.


The manager was excellent and could not do enough to help her feel comfortable. We work until 6 at night, she has stayed behind a number of times to meet us and help us come to terms with our mum being in a care home. The staff are amazing and my mum has taken them all to her heart.


When my mum lived at home, she would stay indoors for days on end. Now, I have to make an appointment to make sure she is in. I have never seen a care home do so much with the residents. Swimming, pub trip, days out to Cadbury world, panto! what more could any of us ask.

My grandfather has been a resident at Acer Court for a few years and we are thrilled with the home, It has a fantastic “homely” feel, all staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The food on offer makes my mouth water every time I see the menu. The Activities team are fun, bright and full
of energy, my grandfather has told us not to visit on occasion as he is too busy getting involved with the activities on offer, including a trip to Donnington car museum! Thank you to all staff for everything you do, you are very much appreciated.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.561)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.561 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 328 Ratings = 4.561
  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 Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 26 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 26 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.

Gemma Wallbanks

Job Title: Registered Home Manager 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.

Michelle

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 when needed.


I moved on to become a Customer Service Advisor in June 2021. 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 that 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.
