My mam has been in the care home for 16 months. She has previously enjoyed all the activities and events the home up until recently, when she is very poorly unable to do so now. The care staff and manager have been very empathetic to our situation and have offered to get us support in this very upsetting
time. Thanky you.

Fountains Court is a lovely homely welcoming care home and well deserving of their latest CQC rating. Staff are supportive polite and proffessional will help with any concerns or issues. Residents are happy content, they are fed delicious meals and everything inbetween. There is lots of spaces to sit
and relax or just sit in their own private rooms. Well done everyone.

My mother became full-time care on 13/4/25. Previously, 2 weeks respite on 3/3/25, then 4 weeks short term. We are so pleased that my mother is extremely happy and well cared for. The staff are wonderful/amazing.

My aunt was cared for at Fountains Court for 4 + years and was extremely well cared for with lots of activities etc. Sadly, she died in February, but her end-of-life care was excellent. She had a dignified, peaceful death and was surrounded by loved ones. The manager could not do enough for her or the
family, and the night nurse was amazing, along with the rest of the staff. Thank you for caring for her and attending her funeral.
Reply from Ged Rabinowitz, Admin at Fountains Court

Thanks so much for your warm words. At Fountains Court, we aim to ensure that all our residents receive the best care possible. Our staff connect with the residents on a really personal level we are happy that this is noticeable. We'll be sure to pass on these kind words to our staff.

My mother recently moved into Fountains Court. The care is excellent, staff are very attentive and caring. Nothing is too much trouble at all. Mum has settled in very well, we are very pleased with the home. It has exceeded all of the family expectations as Fountains was our choice of care home.

My mum has been a resident at Fountains Court for over a year now and is really very happy and content there. It is quite unbelievable the difference in her as she arrived there in a not very good state and now she is back to herself, like she was a good few years ago, in fact mum is having so much
fun. She is up dancing when the music is on, plays bingo and other games, has her hair done by the hairdresser there, has lots of friends and keeps them laughing. All this is due to the amazing, caring staff and management who deserve a big thank you!

The care home was decorated beautifully for Christmas, with songs and carols for the season. There were lots of activities for the residents but also quieter spaces for rest and relaxation. The management is very knowledgeable and helpful; nothing is too much trouble. All of the care staff are friendly
and approachable and they take time to get to know each resident's requirements, and they truly care.

Our mum has been a resident for over a year now. She is happy and settled here. The care that she receives is excellent from both the care staff, activities ladies, and the admin staff. Nothing is too much trouble and the care is delivered in a caring and compassionate manner. We feel confident that
mum is in a safe and caring environment at a difficult stage in her life.

Overall I am satisfied with the care my mum receives. It would be nice though if the new owner was available to be able to air my views, as I think he could make a lot of advantageous changes for the residents e.g. to provide a minibus so residents can be taken for days out. At present the staff and
family members of residents rely on fund raising!

Went to the garden party on Saturday 22nd July 2023. The staff were very involved with the residents. Very clean home, but maybe needs an update (ie. carpets). A very organised event to raise money for the resident's fund, but the staff, including the manager. Nice to see such dedication.

Thank you for your kind review. I'll be sure to pass on your kind words to the staff. As a new provider of the home, we are refurbishing the home, but as you know, "Rome wasn't built in a day", but it is most certainly on the plans.

It might sound ridiculous to put excellent for every category but I never wanted my mother to go into a home ever. I thank our lucky stars she ended up at Fountains Court. The staff show so much love towards her from the manager to the tea lady, they are incredible people, and so many stimulating activities
and wonderful surroundings make for a fantastic place to live your final days.

Review from Catherine B (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Dad has been a resident at this home for nearly 5 months now. It was really hard to accept that we could no longer manage to care for him at home but the staff couldn’t have been nicer or more supportive in helping him settle in. From the first time we looked around we could see that staff treat
residents like family, they are very visible and there is always something going on.
My Dad is quite a private person and very particular about certain things but staff have got to know him and go out of their way to meet his needs. This has brought a lot of reassurance to my family. We are still adjusting to the fact that we don’t have to take responsibility for all of Dads care needs and even though we must drive the staff mad with many questions, they are always responsive and constantly reassure us. I would highly recommend this home

This care home provides excellent care; however, there are problems regarding laundry, mainly underwear items relating to residents that are not being returned - even though they have been labelled by family. Also, could provide more activities for residents as they seem to spend a lot of time sleeping
through the day.

Review from Ann F (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had three weeks respite care at Fountains Court. Prior to this, I was her main carer.
I visited five homes in total before choosing and setting on Fountains Court. There is such a lovely feeling to his establishment which is obvious from the outset. My mum only has positive things to say about
the quality of her care, which mainly focuses on the dedication of the staff and how well she is looked after.
From my point of view, the environment is fabulous - I wish more care homes looked as inviting. However, this review is not only based on the aesthetics but on the genuine warmth, care and understanding of the staff.
I spoke at length to a wide range of staff in a wide range of roles and every one of them was empathetic and nurturing. They seemed to thoroughly enjoy working here. All had a smile on their faces at all times and treated the residents with the utmost respect and kindness.
I will look no further than Fountains Court should my mum need permanent care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.806)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.806) out of 10 for Fountains Court 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.806 for Fountains Court is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.806
  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 Fountains Court is based on 14 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 14 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.
