Review from M B (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum was a resident at Crispin Court Care Home for nearly two years. My sister and I have almost finished settling Mum's affairs and have been reflecting on her life at Crispin Court She soon settled in and thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of life in her new home. Sadly Mum died at the end of last year.
We cannot fault the end of life care given to Mum. The support and advice given to us by the whole team at Crispin Court was excellent. The guidance given by the deputy manager (now the manager) was most thoughtful and comforting. We have much to be thankful for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved into this care home in February 2018. The reason I chose it, and she agreed with my choice, was because it has more the atmosphere of a nice hotel rather than a care home. The rooms are nicely decorated, each with an ensuite wet room. There is an onsite hairdressing salon and cinema
room, plus a cafe area and lovely gardens.
In addition to the facilities, we found the staff to be helpful and caring. The food was good and there were plenty of activities put on for the residents.
We made a good choice!

At Crispin Court residents are treated with respect and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble and they always go that extra mile when faced with new unique challenges. Their approach is very personable and individualised. It is a special place and the Crispin magic is well deserved for their outstanding

My wife is currently staying at Crispin Court; it is a wonderful, fantastic place. I had a lot of dealings with the customer service manager; she is such a kind, caring, compassionate lady, very professional. She made a very difficult traumatic journey so much easier for me and my family, a real credit
to the company.
Crispin Court is a wonderful place, my wife is so very happy. We are very lucky to have a home like this in the area. Well done!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.901)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.901) out of 10 for Crispin Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.901 for Crispin Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (229 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 252 Ratings = 4.901
  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 Crispin Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 21 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.
