  • Silvanna Court, Wickford
Silvanna Court provides a calm and friendly atmosphere, with activities designed to stimulate, amuse and entertain all of those who are cared for. Refurbished in 2023, the home provides expert care along with great facilities for older people, including those living with dementia. The home's amenities and homely décor ensure that residents have a comfortable and welcoming environment in which to live.

In addition to the secure courtyard where residents can sit and chat and enjoy the summer with pleasant potted plants and hanging baskets, there is also a new innovation. This year there is a mini allotment for residents to grow their own produce, a welcome addition for residents to become involved in and then to enjoy the ultimate in home grown vegetables.

Silvanna Court hosts the Wickford area Alzheimer’s Society support group, which is designed to help local relatives, friends and carers of people with any form of dementia.

The support group is open to anyone who needs support, advice or information on dementia related matters, be they emotional, medical, and financial or just need of a sympathetic ear.

The staff are kind, caring, patient and do a great job of looking after my father. They are quick to spot medical issues, which are then quickly dealt with. My father says he likes the food at the home, and he is settled and happy there.

Mum has been at Silvanna Court now for over 3 years and I wish I had found this home first the home is like a 5 star hotel. The manager is amazing she has the residents care and well being first and foremost. The care givers and entertainment is the best you could ever ask for food is like going to
a 5 star restaurant always cooked fresh and served how you would serve it if at home. You are greeted at reception with a smile and feel welcome and part of the family because that is what Silvanna Court is a family. Residents are treated with dignity the best care you could wish for and never a boring day.

My dear mother passed away in Silvanna Court on 29th Sept. 2024.
She has spent 5 and a half years in there.
She was always happy and when asked if she was ok would say 'What's not to like'.
She was always happy with the food and said that the staff were all lovely and friendly. Unfortunately, she
developed dementia over the last couple of years but remained happy.
There were always activities involving the residents. This also included trips out in the minibus, usually including lunch.
The staff were always friendly towards me and any problems were quickly addressed.
The care they showed her over the last week of her life was greatly appreciated.
I would not hesitate in recommending Silvanna Court to anyone looking to place their loved ones.

I visited one of the residents of Silvanna Court (for the fourth time in recent months) yesterday. Two other friends accompanied me, one of whom the resident has known for more than 70 years. As always we were welcomed. Tea and biscuits were bought for us and a little later we all sat in the reception
lounge where we took some photos of us all. Other staff also came to chat making for a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. There is a genuine caring feel to the home, making it feel like 'home' rather than a business.

Dad moved to Silvanna Court at Easter, he's so happy living an independent life in a safe environment. Medical and care staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble, they go out of their way to care for his every need and they treat Dad like he's a member of their family. Dad tells everyone he lives
in a 5-star hotel like Buckingham Palace, loves the food, loves all the staff because they're so kind. His Key Worker helps with day-to-day needs, shopping for him, appointments, covers my holidays and does it willingly. Dad is so settled and happy. He gets involved in daily activities, day trips to the seaside and castles, pub lunches and Silvanna has an amazing social team who raise funds for the residents. I can't fault anything about the home and would happily recommend it to anyone who needs to find residential care for a relative. The manager and her team are the cream of the crop and I always tell them how grateful I am for taking my stress and worries away. Thank you Silvanna Court!

Mum has been a resident at Silvanna Court since 2022.
The staff and management are absolutely amazing. I receive regular updates either by phone or in person on how Mum is doing or for any concerns that may have occurred. It gives Mum and the family peace of mind that she really is being cared for
and all her needs met without delay.
The daily activities are brilliant, there is always something for everyone to enjoy, the staff and the management all get involved and really know each and every resident. There are regular trips out and walks in the nearby park.
The food menu is good with daily choices and each occasion is marked by wonderful decorations throughout the home.
I can't praise the staff and management enough. I feel blessed to have found such a friendly and caring home for my mum.

The enthusiasm and general positivity of staff at this welcoming care home are fantastic as is the level of care they provide for residents. As a family, we have also felt cared for and supported through the experience of our relative moving in and of her changing needs being identified and met. Families
are kept well informed and invited to become involved in some of the amazing range of activities in which residents can take part.

Silvanna Court is a care home of exceptional quality. 'Issues' with my mother-in-law are always developing but they are 'on it'! They have robust systems to ensure she is well cared for in every way. High-quality carers are backed up by excellent supervisors and management. But beyond that, the home
is brimming with caring enthusiasm that delivers endless opportunities for stimulating activities. Employees must go home exhausted!

My mother-in-law moved into Silvanna Court in December. She has spent two and a half years at another care home where she was happy and well cared for, unfortunately, her circumstances changed. She has dementia and is still fairly bright and mobile.
The care she has received at Silvanna has been excellent
she has settled in well and the carers are lovely.
It's fantastic that they bring in children to read to the residents amongst other forms of stimulation. We are delighted she is at Silvanna Court, it is a notch above as a care home.

I unfortunately had to take the decision to put my mum in a care home. Since my mum has become a resident at Silvanna Court, she has absolutely thrived. She seems happy, healthy and really relaxed with her surroundings. The staff have been so accommodating and welcoming. I now feel happy with my decision
to have Mum in a home and can't recommend Silvann Court enough.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.714)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.714) out of 10 for Silvanna Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.714 for Silvanna Court is calculated as follows: ( (370 Excellents x 5) + (117 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 500 Ratings = 4.714

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Silvanna Court is based on 42 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, which has been reached with 42 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
