  • 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.

Being able to compare Silvanna Court to a previous home my mother was in, I can honestly say that this home is amazing. The staff, care, building, decor, events and grounds - the whole place is a dream come true for Mum and the family.
I honestly, hand on heart, cannot fault Silvanna Court in any
way. So thank you all at Silvanna Court.

Unfortunately, my mum was only in the care of these amazing people for three weeks as she passed away this morning, but I cannot thank them enough. The care she received (and us as relatives) was absolutely second to none. Nothing at all was too much trouble. The staff know who they are and who was
very special to us and Mum, and I want to thank you. They also made a very difficult time much easier for us knowing she was in your loving care. Thank you so much.

It was a pleasure to care for your mum, and we want to thank you all for your support and kind words.

Not really happy with the service my father-in-law is receiving at the moment as it is costing us a fortune as we have to keep buying him new clothes as his keep disappearing. We have complained many times to no avail and he has lost hearing aids, glasses, he cannot watch the television as the remotes
have gone missing and all these items have his name on but no one cares. We are now thinking about moving him to another home.

I dreaded the day my mum had to go into a care home. But must say, I never needed to worry, as since she became a resident, I have peace of mind knowing that she is in the care of very caring, friendly carers, who attend to her needs 24/7, and always make the family welcome.

Reply from Sue Smith, Home Manager at Silvanna Court

Hello, thank you for your thoughtful review. We are happy that your mother's transition to assisted living has left yourself and your mother satisfied. We strive to ensure we can provide the best possible care, and we are grateful for your feedback.

This is Dad's fourth day at Silvanna Court, and thankfully, he seems to have settled quite well. The staff have been very welcoming to Dad and supported me emotionally in settling him in, especially two members of staff. His room is comfortable and clean. I hope that he continues to settle, and hopefully,
has the opportunity to enjoy the facilities/entertainment at Silvanna Court.

Reply from Sue Smith, Home Manager at Silvanna Court

Good afternoon Diana, thanks so much for the wonderful review. We are grateful to hear how appreciative you are of your father's transition to care. Your feedback greatly enhances the care we provide to our residents, and we appreciate your positive comments.

My aunt moved into Silvanna Court seven weeks ago, and her decision to stay was made easy for her by the level of care she has been given. The staff work so hard with the residents and are always so friendly and helpful. We, as a family, haven't seen my aunt looking and sounding as well as she does
now since before the start of Covid. Being looked after so well, fed well and given her meals properly, as well as the social interactions, have all contributed to her looking and seeming as happy as she does not. Many thanks.

My dad came to Silvanna Court from the hospital on a six-week respite scheme. Very quickly, we were delighted with his care and have made his state a permanent one. Can't give a better recommendation.

The home is very clean; the bedrooms are very roomy. My aunt is very happy and enjoys all the activities that are put on. The staff are extremely nice and helpful. Her personal care is very good.

You treat her like a piece of fine bone china, "so caring". When I leave, I shed a tear, but know she is well looked after, and that is a great comfort for me. I would not hesitate in recommending Silvanna Court.

Sensitive care from all staff. Very well run home. Friendly, polite atmosphere - lots going on, but also places that are quiet- a good balance. Modern, well-kept buildings and grounds. Mum has never complained about the food! Thanks.

I am so grateful for all the excellent care my mum is receiving at Silvanna Court. The care home seems extremely well run, and all the staff are friendly, and nothing seems to be too much trouble when helping the resident or their families when visiting. I think all the staff are hard-working and "genuinely
care" for the residents.

Mum was moved to Silvanna after her previous care home closed. We could not be happier with the level of care we have been shown. We had very little communication previously, but now, whilst Mum isn't able to be within our family home, we finally feel she is within her new family home. Thank you, doesn't
seem enough.

I feel that my mother is so well looked after. She loves her cuddles and joining in with staff and other patients. Mum has a few special favourites (in fact, she loves all the staff)! Good management team and responsive. Massive room Mum is in.

Mum has been in the home for just over a year. She has settled well and despite a spell in the hospital during her stay, she is now looking like her old self. She is happy, eats well and enjoys mixing with other residents during activity time. I have nothing but praise for the whole team. Mum's life
would be very different if she wasn't here. Thank you.

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.
