Review from Paul B (Son of Resident) published on 1 November 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home has a lovely atmosphere about it. All the residents seem very happy - testament in itself that they are well looked after. The home has recently undergone a full refurbishment which has raised an already high standard. My father has settled in well. There is lots of social and private areas
allowing family and friends to enjoy spending time with each other.

A warm, friendly atmosphere, caring environment. Could be improved with extra personal care checks but all in my mother has always been treated with lots of love. Even when you can see staff are busy they always take time to give mum a friendly chat and cuddle.

In February our mother was bought to Admiral Court to live as clearly she was unable to manage at home alone after our father died. The home ticked all the boxes for her and so well looked after and cared for.
Excellent staff who clearly love their jobs and the excellent care of looking after the residents.
Brilliant loving home.

Lovely looking place but always seems understaffed. I do not believe you get the level of care that you pay for. Not enough activities done with residents. Events we have attended have been good.

I do like the environment it is very welcoming and friendly, however, I do find that my grandfather doesn't necessarily get the level of care he needs. He is a very social man but is often left in his room when he much prefers to be among others. I have also found on occasion that he is still in bed
past breakfast. For the amount of money paid I would expect there is more for him to do and more staff to enable him to take part in day to day life and activities. Events I have been to have been good as they are planned in advance so you would expect it to be.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved dad from his previous care home in Feb of this year. The level of care, communication between staff and family and respect shown by staff is exemplary. Dad is treated with dignity and helped in a caring manner throughout the day and not ordered about in a rushed stern manner. All staff are extremely
friendly to family members and know who my dad is.

As a visitor, it's great. I am treated well by all staff.
They always have a smile on their face and always seem pleased to see you.
Resident feels more traditional food would be nice. Food seems to be food which is not always seen elsewhere.
Breakfast is good.

Dad has been at Admiral Court for 2 years now.
He has been well looked after and we are always kept informed of his situation and if there have been any issues with dad's health.
His room is always clean and he is happy at Admiral Court. Although he is less able to join in activities than he used
to be, the staff ensure that he is still involved whenever possible.

This care home is more like a hotel. The staff are so polite and very caring towards the residents. My auntie has really settled well after her initial confusion. She always looks very well although today she was a little untidy. Her glasses are missing and I have reported it to the staff and they have
assured me that they will find them.
Reply from David Martins, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Admiral Court

Thank you for your comments and high scores regarding Admiral Court. We are sorry that your auntie's glasses have been lost, but we are grateful that you have let the staff know and we will endeavour to find them.

Review from J B (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 3 May 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The home has provided good care. The hair and nail service is a positive and she loves to feel pampered. She has been with the home now for two years and is now feeling that this is her home. The staff are so good with her and make her feel loved and always go the extra mile.


She has formed true

connections with certain staff. She loves the fact that one staff member can bring her dog in.


The food is good and she is catered for as she has a special diet.


The management is now restricted to provide a better quality of service and we are happy.


The staff are always busy and always welcome us with a smile. The lines of communication are good.


The redevelopment of the home is almost finished.


This is the resident's home and I have to say although expensive it is where I want my family member to live safely and well looked after.


They have dealt with the medical issues quickly and has always kept me up to date with all that is happening to my family member.

Admiral Court is a place of miracles. My precious Mum has lived here since December 2014 and despite her advancing Alzheimer's and being put on a palliative pathway in January 2018, she is happy, content and living her life to the full. Today she is sat enjoying the sunshine and fresh air and singing
in French. This is all possible because of the amazing care she receives here, surrounded by patience, respect and love.
Thank you, Admiral Court, for taking care of Mum in a way her family never could.
Reply from Carl Roberts, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Admiral Court

Thank you ever so much Michelle, for these kind words. It is a true delight to have read what you have written and thank you for taking the time to review the home. We are so pleased that your Mum continues to be happy with us.

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.
