Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the first phone call to visit for a viewing to my friend moving in the staff were helpful and there was not anything that was too much trouble. The building is fresh and clean full of beautiful flowers that brighten all the rooms. My friend is loving all the meals and also liking that there is
great choice. From day one she has been happy and settled which is the opposite of what I was expecting, as I thought it might take a while to adjust. I am kept informed of everything that is required. One of the highlights my friend is looking forward to is using the hair salon on a regular basis, just as she did when at home. All in all so happy my friend is in a place where she will be well looked after and cared for.

I attended a BBQ with my sister on 11th August. The food was really nice and the staff in attendance went out of their way to make sure everyone had a lovely afternoon. My compliments go out to the chefs and everybody involved in this event. I am looking forward to the next one. Thanks again.

Both my husband and myself have been residents at Admiral Court. He is an end-of-life/palliative resident needing nursing care and I have spent four weeks at Admiral Court to recuperate after extensive spinal surgery. I have been able to see how everything works on a daily basis. Apart from providing
high-quality care, this establishment works with residents and their loved ones to generate a fulfilling lifestyle within a pleasant environment, both indoors and out. The overriding atmosphere is friendly, happy, and respectful. I cannot praise highly enough the commitment and patience of the care team and the good humour they bring to a challenging vocation.
Reply from Susan Cruse, General Manager at Hallmark Admiral Court

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will pass them on to the team. I am so pleased your time at Admiral Court has been relaxing, recuperating, and enjoyable.

Review from Phil T (Son of Resident) published on 6 October 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum suffers from vascular dementia and needs 24x7 support. We visited several care homes in the area and chose Admiral Court for the high level of amenities, cleanliness, care, and support that all the staff provides. Admiral Court has dedicated activity and dementia teams that work with mum to
ensure she receives the care she needs. We have noticed a marked change in Mum's persona as a result of the support all staff have provided. Mum now calls Admiral Court her home and classifies it as her 5-star hotel! All the staff are approachable and cannot do enough to make our visits and mum's stay as pleasurable as possible. Would I recommend Admiral Court to others? I definitely would without any hesitation. Keep up the brilliant work Admiral Court and all our family appreciate all you do for mum.

Thank you so much for your review. We are delighted that mum now calls Admiral Court her home and classifies it as a 5-star hotel.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is living with Vascular Dementia and the family was becoming increasingly concerned about her general wellbeing, diet, and ability to take her own medication appropriately. Mum always remained fiercely independent but, after suffering a fall, she agreed to enter a care home.


Admiral Court

is a delightful place. She has made new friends, has regained a large part of her “independence” and is thoroughly enjoying the experience. As a family, we are certain that Mum is being perfectly cared for and the facilities, cleanliness, and atmosphere we have seen during visits are exemplary.

My friend has a terrible disease, C.J.D; it's a debilitating disorder and is fatal! Before my friend came to Admiral Court, she had no real quality of life; it was heartbreaking for me to see.
Now thanks to the amazing care she receives from all the wonderful staff here, from the cleaners, cooks,
activities staff, nurses, management, and everyday staff. My lovely friend will be cared for with affection and dignity.

I can't praise the staff enough for the care they have given my sister and the support they have given us as a family at a very difficult time in our lives. They go above and beyond to make life as enjoyable and comfortable for my sister. It has a lovely welcoming feeling when you enter the home and
is a pleasure to visit. I can't believe how well my sister looks and she is very content and happy in her new forever home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Sadly our grandad recently passed away, our Nan 89 had cared for him at home without complaint, during his final years. We needed to find a home that would provide her with comfort, support, and laughter. After looking at many homes, I can honestly say that this was the perfect fit. She still has her
own privacy with a fully fitted ensuite but the reassurance that she can be assisted at any time. So many activities to choose from every day and the food is pretty amazing too. My Nan is beginning to smile again recently and is so fully deserved. Now it is Nan’s time to have some fun!
Reply from Susan Cruse, General Manager at Hallmark Admiral Court

Thank you for your kind words, it was an absolute pleasure meeting your nan and the family along your journey in finding a care home. We are so proud of the activities and dining experience so it is wonderful to hear that your nan is having a great time with us.

My sister became a resident in Admiral Court in July 2021 and I have nothing but praise for the staff there, not only towards my sister but us as a family. They keep us up to date on her progress and in the little time she has been there we have seen a huge change in her.
She is happy and content
in there and that is down to the staff and management. I can't thank you enough.

Nan always said she never wanted to go into a care home, but after staying here for respite care, she never wanted to leave. Admiral Court has its residents' best interests at heart. The staff are caring, friendly and it's a home from home. As a family, this has been a great place for Nan to enjoy her
latter years and would certainly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a very stressful year, we managed to secure a place for my father in the nursing dementia unit. They made the move, very easy; they were attentive to his needs, and he was very happy there and settled well. They made the last few months of his life as comfortable as could be, especially given
the circumstances with COVID-19. My family and I especially loved how residents were not locked away, but we're able to join everyone in the bistro area. The only disappointment would be the lack of activities in the nursing wing for those with advanced dementia.
Reply from David Martins, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Admiral Court

Thank you for your review and we are pleased that the moving in process was made easy. We will look to review your comments around the activities provided on the nursing community but do appreciate you have taken this time to give us the feedback in order to make a difference to the residents in the home.

Haven't been able to see Mum often, or even regularly, due to Covid-19 restrictions - which is very upsetting. But I know she is safe and receiving very good care. She seems to be settling into her new 'upstairs' situation - and seems possibly a bit happier there. She has mood swings but the staff know
her well now and know what helps her.
Reply from David Martins, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Admiral Court

Thank you for your review and we are happy that mum has been settling well in the home. Although we have had our visiting suite open for visits as much as possible, we are looking to increase the visiting provision in the home going forward so more regular visits can happen for everyone.

My friend has been in this home for over 6 years. I cannot speak too highly of the care and help she has received. A great deal of appreciation must go to the dedicated staff where kindness and affection goes a long way. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The nurses are very kind also and any query
I have is quickly dealt with. I visit every day and see a lot of care and it really is a pleasure to see it so clean and all the residents looking clean and tidy.

From the first meeting, my experience with Admiral Court has been a positive one, and in what's been the hardest time of my life, the staff at Admiral Court have helped me cope and cared for my dad with love, dignity and respect. We could not have wished for more from the home, and find comfort in knowing
we put dad in the best place possible. Well done to the staff, management and owners of Hallmark.

Can only describe Admiral Court as wonderful. My loved one is looked after so well. Safe and clean and eating well now. As for the staff and carers here you couldn't find a more welcoming place. Everyone says hello and deals with any concerns that you have. Love the coffee shop where I can take mum
and sit and talk to her. Would recommend this care home to anyone who is looking for somewhere for their loved one to be looked after.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.955)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.955) out of 10 for Hallmark Admiral Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.955 for Hallmark Admiral Court is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.955
  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 Hallmark Admiral Court is based on 13 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 13 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.
