We have been using Acer Court for 2 years. My mother is extremely happy. There is a lot going on - lots to stimulate her. As a family we are worried that her money is going down very quickly but are reassured that the District Council will pick up the bill with our top up. Lovely staff.

Review from Barbara P (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 July 2017 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have recently had to make arrangements for my 96 year old Mum to move into a care home, an event she has always resisted. From the moment we first met the General Manager to the moment of moving my Mum into her actual room and the first couple of weeks of care, every person we have met has been extremely
helpful and friendly.
As far as the actual premises are concerned, when you first walk into the place you could be forgiven for thinking you had walked into a posh hotel. It is very clean and tastefully decorated and the rooms themselves are spacious and comfortable. The food is both plentiful and, from my Mum's reaction, delicious and the range of activities is absolutely terrific.
Most important of all of course, the standard of care is really tremendous. The carers make it clear that they regard the place as their residents' home and that virtually nothing is too much trouble for them. My Mum is very happy in her new home and for that, I am extremely grateful.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit regularly. Always very warm welcome from staff and always offered refreshments. The home has very high standards of cleanliness, décor and staffing levels.
Staff always greet my friend and other residents with dignity and respect. My friend is very happy here and enjoys all the varied activities
and outings that are put on each week by the well-being team. All staff are friendly, polite, knowledgeable and caring. Management recently changed but the new manager is very friendly and offers lots of support to residents/relatives.

Review from K P (Friend of Resident) published on 11 August 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Acer Court is a lovely friendly homely care home. Managed expertly it offers so much more than other care home's in the area. My daughter in laws mother stayed for respite and still talks about the home and staff with such fondness. It is clean and well maintained and the food is great. Nothing is too
much from the warm welcome when you walk through the doors. It also has an excellent activities program that the residents look forward to and a lot of them join in and participate. This always puts a smile on your face. I would not hesitate to place my mother in such a lovely home when the time comes.

I have (did) find all the staff to be very caring whatever time I went to see my husband, what ever time I went to see my husband whatever time I went to Acer Court the staff were welcoming and helpful to all the clients. The home was always clear. I do not visit anyone now. My husband died just before
Christmas. I have nothing but praise for the staff.

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.
