Review from Beth C (Daughter of Resident) published on 18 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to compliment the staff at St James for the care and support they provide for my mum. I have noticed on my visits there that all residents are taken notice of and interacted with in such a natural and caring way. I have been in other care homes where residents are treated like things rather
than people. They take time to talk, laugh, sing and care for people.

Review from Fiona L (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 25 April 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I admitted my grandad to St James for end of life care after leaving the hospice.
When first admitted, Macmillan and the nurse on duty met with me to discuss my grandad's requirements and to ask what kind of involvement I would like in his care. The staff not only cared for my grandad but took great
care of my family and I also.
The level of care received was of the highest standard, my grandad was treated like the gentleman he was right up until his last days.
I can't thank the staff enough xx

Overall St James Court has a very pleasant atmosphere, but just needs a little tweaking in certain areas which reflects in the tick box answers below.

Review from Jan H (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since residing at St James Court for end of life care4 my mother was always treated with the utmost kindness care and respect. Her dignity was always of the utmost importance to the staff and they bought out her dry sense of humour. Their love and respect for my mum was always evident and I shall be
forever grateful for the excellent care she received. Living some 200 miles from Bromley I always felt peace of mind when leaving mum in such kind and capable hands.

Review from Edward D (Cousin of Resident) published on 4 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I was the main carer for my cousin until she became resident at St James Court. I continued to visit twice every day at lunch break and early evening to late evening. My cousin was always treated with kindness care and respect. I got to know all staff from the manager to carers, nurses, cleaners and
kitchen staff very well and became a very familiar face at the home. All the staff are 100% committed to the work they perform, always caring and friendly manner. They treated my cousin with warmth, humour and dignity and I am grateful for the care she received. I shall miss them all very much.

Review from Marie C (Wife of Resident) published on 16 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have given St James Court the high excellence score, because that is what I truly found with my experience. My husband was there for four weeks under rapid response. I visited daily for no less than four hours, sometimes all day.
Every aspect of the home was constant, from the caring to the cleaning.
Well done St James Court, well done to the manager, you have a fantastic team.

Review from J S (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 2 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally happy with the care my mother-in-law received. Did have a couple of issues at end of life with a particular member of nursing staff. Care staff mostly attentive and professional. Few issues with cleaning. Food could have been a better quality and some care assistants need some training around
feeding. Some care assistants were excellent and gave us confidence. Did not appreciate at all this questionnaire arriving with a sympathy card. Very insensitive indeed.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother was in St James Court for 9 months until she passed away in November.
The care she received was excellent and was treated with care, compassion and dignity, especially in the last few weeks of her life.
All staff from carers to cleaners are cheerful and friendly and nothing is too much
trouble. We are pleased we chose St James Court and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Review from Roslyn P (Brother of Resident) published on 12 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother was taken to the home from hospital, because he was end of life care. I cannot thank the staff enough for the care and compassion they showed my brother. He was not the best patient but all that was due to his illness. He had M.S and a very bad case of it. The position he was in caused really
bad bed sores and he had to be moved every two hours which the staff did when he would let them. If I ever get into the position that I had to go into a home it would certainly be St James that I would pick.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother is 37 years old suffering from multiple sclerosis, she stayed for seven weeks in respite care and was only 7 stone, after 2 weeks she was 8 stone and 9lbs and she is now 10 stone 2lbs. She looks great and this is a testament to the delicious meals and care she had at St James Court. The staff
are exceptional, kind and dedicated doing a very hard job with humour and respect. Well done, thank you to you all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad was admitted on an emergency basis by rapid response. From arrival to leaving, his care was excellent. He was extremely ill and fragile on arrival and left to to try and be independent at home, a stronger and healthier person. If living in his own home fails, I would not hesitate in contacting
this care home for their assistance.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.947)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.947) out of 10 for St James Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.947 for St James Court is calculated as follows: ( (340 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.947
  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 St James Court is based on 30 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 30 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.
