Review from Trisha F (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 94-year-old father has recently become resident here and was very anxious about making the decision to leave his own home. But what an amazing home from home he now lives in. The staff and manager have been so helpful, thoughtful and supportive to me as a carer and to my dad in allowing him to make
this decision. The building, gardens and furnishings are beautiful and my father enjoys having people around, food is great and he is comfortable and most importantly happy and relaxed.

I cannot thank the home enough for the care they gave to my late mother. Despite her having mobility problems and terminal cancer, the staff gave her excellent care, meeting her needs to a very high standard.

Review from Hayley S (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care St Clare's Court gave my nan has been outstanding. The team create a warm, welcoming environment for anyone visiting. The home is always clean, the resident care is amazing.
During the days up to my nan's death they made it easy for us to be with her and as well as giving my nan incredible
care, they also looked after us.
They have made us feel welcomed when we have popped in.
I can't fault a single thing - perfect.
thank you for everything.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My nana came to St Clare's in December 2016 and was welcomed in open arms by all staff. They are all very helpful and have a great relationship with all residents.
The home provides a safe and loving environment for the residents and it gives everyone an opportunity to socialise, either in the lounge
or by taking part in several activities that take place.
Overall the home is excellent and is a great place to live.

My Mam has been in St Clare's Court since February 2017 and I visit most days, the staff and members of management are top class and should be recommended for an award. Residents receive very good care and the home should have a higher compliance rating.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a lovely caring well decorated and maintained care home. The manager and all staff are friendly and welcoming towards both residents and their families. They are very professional in everything they do. Residents and their visitors are encouraged to take part in daily activities to help stimulate
and socialise with one another. Food menus are in place to help encourage a varied healthy diet. My mum loves staying here and is making a lot of new friends. This certainly is a "friendly, caring, home from home".

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.931)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.931) out of 10 for St Clare's Court Care Home 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.931 for St Clare's Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (313 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 332 Ratings = 4.931
  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 Clare's Court Care Home is based on 28 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 28 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.
