Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Fleming Court offers a good level of care for my parents. However, more outings and external visits would be good. The residents raise their own money for entertainment, which is absolutely appalling. Selling sweets to residents who pay over £4000 a month to pay for their own entertainment is appalling
but allows you to tick a box at their expense.
Reply from Clare Sheehan at Fleming Court Care Home

Thank you for your positive comments with regards to our care delivery within Fleming Court, we will ensure these are forwarded to our care team. We have recently established a vintage sweet trolley within Fleming Court, which was intended for families and visitors, to enhance their visit to our home. Residents receive sweet treats daily and there is no charge for this within the home. Our Residents do not pay for their own entertainment as our home receives an activities budget which is utilised to provide events and activities within the home. We have our new Wellbeing Coordinator starting with us on 4 November 2019 and are also currently recruiting for a second member of the team. The home continues to provide activities and a new programme is being launched. We, therefore, hope to improve the service provided over the forthcoming weeks.

My relative had to come to Fleming Court in sad circumstances and has now lived there for one year. The staff have met her personal care and residential needs well, except for activities which could be more reliable.
Management has been responsive, efficient and consistent. It's a busy and attractive
building/space in a great location.
Care staff are excellent. In general, a positive experince, despite the circumstances.

Fleming Court has the feel of a hotel rather than a care home which meant a lot to my mother when we looked around. The building is well designed with excellent facilities. The staff are friendly and caring and often have a smile for you. I was very happy with the care my mother received.

The home is clean, warm and comfortable with lots of really good facilities e.g. A small cinema, numerous lounges etc. The staff are friendly and approachable and always willing to help.
My sister's room is quiet, clean and warm. She is very comfortable and happy in her new home. There are no smells
of stale food or body waste, unlike some care homes.

The staff at Fleming Court are excellent and have provided sensitive care for my mother. When her health has faltered, then staff have responded promptly and used their experience to help her to recover.
The staff are also very welcoming to visitors - it feels like an extended family.

My father has only been here for 24 hours so it is difficult to come to a final conclusion.
However, early impressions are very favourable.
It's a new modern building with very nice individual rooms and very good communal areas.
Have not yet met many staff members but those that we have met are all
cheery, helpful and caring.
Excellent catering and family can book in for meals when visiting.
Don't know about activities yet.

This is an outstanding care home.
The facilities are top notch and the staff are caring, personable and dedicated. They are most helpful with relatives - be it visits or phone calls.
Ps. Why not install a computer or 2 for guests to use so they can enjoy an internet café.

Excellent surroundings, staff always welcoming. Activities are very important. My mother is again beginning to do more stimulating things.
The downside, belongings do go missing in her room. Clothing also gets muddled.

Review from Heather P (Niece of Resident) published on 9 October 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After much research for a care provider for my uncle, we chose Fleming Court. The standard of care my uncle received, was extremely good, the staff took great care of him, showing respect and treating him with dignity. Daily activities and trips out were varied and well co-ordinated, whilst the front
of house staff kept us informed of forthcoming events.


The home itself, is beautiful, with good facilities. The resident rooms are tastefully decorated and equipped, it was nice that we were able to add personal items to make it more comfortable. The food is nutritious and meals varied, it was nice that we could sit and have a meal also.


Little touches such as having hairdressers on site, tuck shop to buy sweets and delivery of daily papers, made it pleasant for him.


I highly recommend Fleming Court.

Good care with attentive staff. Love the décor and ambience of Fleming Court Care Home. Hospitable to visitors. An odd meal not as good as others and room 7 needs a toilet roll holder fitted on wall.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.650)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.650) out of 10 for Fleming Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.650 for Fleming Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (210 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.65
  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 Fleming Court Care Home is based on 24 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 24 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.
