Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Thank you Crispin Court. Having spent time there personally with my relative I can’t praise you all enough for the level of care, the standard of care and the genuine warmth and tenderness received by my relative. As a Nurse myself, I can appreciate the individual touches that went into making my relative
comfortable and reassured at having to leave the comfort and security of her own home. Also as a professional, I was reassured by the level of professionalism by all involved, which was cascaded top down by the General Manager.
I will always be grateful to all involved for all you do and for the cups of tea and cake.
Thank you.

My mom stayed at Crispin Court for respite care. From the first point of contact to staying there and ultimately going home, she could not have had a better experience. The rooms, food, activities and whole experience exceeded all of our expectations. The staff really need to be congratulated on their
professionalism and their care/support of all residents who are treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Well done to everyone.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been to a number of care homes but by far, this is the best I have experienced. Not only can the person think of it as a home, but also a holiday experience. All the staff are very helpful and polite. They treat my friend with dignity and respect. Nothing is too much and always go above and beyond.
Such fantastic care and this would be a place that I would like my own family to be looked after/supported in.

I do enjoy my stay here. Rooms are a good size, cosy beds. The home is well designed. Very nice. Not enough time without feeling under pressure to have a relaxing bath at a time to suit the resident.


Food is adequate.


Personal bathrooms could be cleaner.

What a warm charming place. The staff are friendly and helpful to all residents, also the manager was wonderful and explained the day to day running of the home.
He sounds passionate about his home and you couldn't ask for anything better. He's a real credit to the place.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff at Crispin Court, Stafford, have made a very difficult situation run much more smoothly. The facilities and care have been excellent and if something is not right or needs to be improved, then they are always willing to help and follow up.
There could always be a few more staff as they all
work very hard. On the whole, the food is good but sometimes the quality could be improved.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I came here in October 2017 with my husband, who was recovering from a serious illness and unfortunately, more illnesses developed and finally the flu, from which he did not recover.
The treatment he received here was so good. The staff were kindness itself.
I stayed here as my family would not let
me go back to my house as I would have been too vulnerable - a five bedroomed, detached house in its own grounds.
They were right, all the staff are so kind.

My cousin has been resident in Crispin Court for two and a half years now, initially mobile and in reasonable health but latterly with deteriorating health. At all stages, she has been cared for appropriately, respecting her desire for some independence but quick to help when it became necessary.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.785)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.785) 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 4.8 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 20 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 4.785 for Crispin Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (222 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (4 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 251 Ratings = 4.785
  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 20 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 70 registered maximum number of service users is 14, which has been reached with 20 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.
