Appletree Court is a purpose-built care home offering elderly residential, nursing and dementia care. A professional team has furnished the home to a high standard, providing elegance and comfort.

The 'home from home' feel at Appletree Court is created by the dedicated staff who have been selected not only for their professional ability but also for their commitment to truly making a difference for the people in their care.

Resident’s rooms are spacious and feature en suite facilities. The communal areas are at the centre of what makes Appletree Court a real community whether it be at meal times or when enjoying activities. There are no fixed visiting hours so friends and family can come and see residents at any time.

Appletree Court is the nicest kindest care home I have ever seen. It is extremely well managed and the food is good. The love and care my dad gets is wonderful and appreciated.
The manager runs an excellent care home.
The nurse is kind caring and knowledgeable. The entertainment officer is worth
her weight in gold. All of the staff are lovely and kind. A great care home.

I would like to say a huge thank you for looking after my mother during her respite care. She was looked after extremely well. All the care workers took great care of her and made sure she was comfortable during her whole stay. The home was extremely clean and the meals were delicious. My mother had
a great time and felt that she was on holiday.

Reply from Iqbal Gurib, Home Manager at Appletree Court Care Home

We are very pleased to hear that your mother enjoyed her respite stay with us and was close to your father whilst you were away. We would be pleased to welcome your mother again at any time you may be planning to go away. Shall pass on your lovely comments to my team. Kind regards.

My father was a resident in June 2024. He was moved to Appletree Court Care Home because they needed the beds at the hospital. Because of the distance, we would not have chosen Appletree but as time went on my father settled and we as a family really liked Appletree and the staff. The rooms were homely
and comfortable. Though there was not enough Gujerati speaking staff it was fine. Where my father struggled was no provision of a Gujerati meal, at 99 years old we could not ask my father to change his taste in food. We would have left our father at Appletree if it were not for the choice of food.

Reply from Iqbal, Home Manager at Appletree Court Care Home

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your positive feedback regarding Appletree Court. As you would appreciate, the home caters for all nationalities and provides vegetarian food daily. Unfortunately, this may not have been specific to the likes or tastes of your father. We value your review and shall endeavour to enhance our meal provision for the future.

We have found staff to be caring and professional in their conduct. We have been provided feedback when we have asked our family member residing at Appletree Court Care Home.
The manager has always been very pleasant whenever we have talked with him and comes over as a caring person.
Have not commented

My father stayed at this care home temporarily while awaiting placement nearer family. The care he received was excellent. The home is clean, very nicely decorated and has a lovely atmosphere. The gardens provide a peaceful space but also a space for family to sit. The staff are very friendly, led by
an excellent manager. The manager's office is near the front entrance so he is always available for a chat and deals with any issues promptly.

I am the nephew of a resident at this nursing home.
I do regularly visit my Aunt and I must say that a lovely warm welcome is extended to all visitors. The nurses and staff alike are so kind-hearted both to visitors and resident patients, always willing to go the extra mile to help out anyone in need.
On occasions I happen to be there for lunchtime, the hospitality is extended to me to join in for lunch so as to keep my Aunt company.
The meals are wonderful and always well presented and most appetising. It's a real bonus to any visitor as I for one never go with the intention of expecting a meal, and to have one just makes me grateful.
Finally, thank you to all who were on duty today as well as those in the past for looking after my Aunt, and for being kind to her throughout her stay. Also, the dining room staff were kind enough to extend their hospitality by offering me lunch.
Blessings always.

My mother has been living at Appletree Court Care Home for just over one year. The home was a lovely warm, friendly and relaxing atmosphere. The leadership is excellent with safeguarding and inclusive practice of a high standard. The staff are cheerful, caring, helpful and professional. My mother is
treated with dignity, compassion and respect. I cannot praise the standard of care highly enough. The home is clean and well-maintained. There is an excellent choice of food and drink suited to each individual need. I am very happy with the high standard of care.

International afternoon. The staff were invited to wear their native country costumes and bring food of their homelands. The 8ft long table was laden with a wide variety of delicious savoury foods the cake and tasty sweets at a separate 6ft table. The staff came in wearing their national country costumes
and beautiful dresses. After eating, there was enough for all, the dancing and singing began. One lady came with her 8-year-old daughter, both dressed in Romanian national dress. The whole afternoon was a wonderful, colourful success organised by our lifestyle coordinator.

Appletree Court is a wonderful, well-run facility. My mother was a resident until she passed recently. hen my father has just become a resident too. I have worked in the care home industry but I have never seen such a clean, efficient, yet homely atmosphere. It looks like a first-class hotel, fantastic.

My father has been a resident since Jan 2020. I live abroad and so it is very reassuring to me that Appletree offers an extremely impressive level of care. First, and most importantly, the staff are excellent. This includes the management as well as all nursing, carer and other support staff. All the
carers I have encountered are good and many are really amazing: doing so much while creating such a friendly positive environment. The main nurse on my fathers floor is particularly exceptional: tracking, and chasing up, his many medical issues, while also being a true friend to him. The rooms and common areas are also clean, well furnished and maintained. They have a decent garden and tables out the back which is a small oasis for the area. The organization and communication of the facility is also great, including during all the complications of covid. I consider my father and our family very lucky to have found this place.

My late father stayed for a short while in Appletree Court, and I would like to give praise to the whole team who cared for him.
The dedication of the care staff was plain to see each time I visited, and nothing was too much trouble.
I wish to express on behalf of my whole family our sincere thanks
to the entire team for their kindness, commitment and support throughout his stay.
This truly is a wonderful place.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Appletree Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.872 for Appletree Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 148 Ratings = 4.872

  • b) 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 4.844 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Appletree Court Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.4 = 0.844

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
