  • 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.

Nan has been very well looked after, especially when she's been under the weather. The carers are very respectful and are always bright and bubbly. Nan is thriving at the home and loves her bathtime, which is something she hasn't been able to do in years.

My mother was a resident at Silvanna for five years and her care was exceptional. As a family, we were very hands-on and the home respected this. From her first hard days settling in till her last days, we felt part of a community. The staff are caring, considerate and kept us informed of mum’s good
days, bad days and any signs of ill health. They provided day trips, regular entertainment and parties, activities and resident and relatives meetings. Mum could also have her hair and nails done if she so wished. If we had a concern or issue that something was not right, the staff were approachable and it was sorted. As mums illness progressed and her mobility became restricted, the staff ensured mum and the family were supported not just with care and attention but with a genuine affection for us and her. There was always a very good variety of meals and snacks on offer, hygiene and cleaning exceptional and the hands-on staff brilliant.
Would I recommend Silvanna Court, yes of course.

I'm writing this review from 2 perspectives. My father who has been a resident for nearly 3 years and mine.
My father loves the entertainment provided by the team. An entertainer is brought in regularly and many residents participate in the singing and dancing. He also enjoys being taken on day trips.
He
always says the food is very good and plentiful. Recently the decor in the home has been upgraded and my dad can't stop commenting on the new pictures. A little touch like that makes him very happy.
The entertainment staff have also invested in more games and it's nice to see the residents thinking and participating.
From my point of view as a relative, I have always found the staff to be very attentive and helpful. If I need him prepared to go out he is ready in suitable attire. Coat hat, gloves, shoes, hearing aid, glasses and a walking stick.
I have found his living space clean and fresh to which I am very grateful.
The manager is very understanding and approachable.

I have no doubt that my mother-in-law is receiving and has consistently received an excellent level of care. Although my mother-in-law's health has declined of late you have all shown your enthusiasm for looking after her mental and physical well-being, for which the family are thankful.

My experience at Silvanna Court since 2012 when my sister entered the care home. I that time, she was unhappy to have to go into care and the staff worked hard to get her to feel at home with them. The staff and management have done a superb job looking after my sister and keeping in touch with at all
times. Informing me of her wellbeing. They do a fantastic job caring for my sister. Although I think one more member of staff is required.

I have nothing but praise and thanks for the way the staff have looked after my mum. They are very kind and patient with her even though she can be very difficult and demanding at the best of times. The care home is beautifully decorated and very clean and the staff put a lot of effort into making activities
that the residents can enjoy. I have great peace of mind knowing my mum is so well looked after so once again thank you all very much.

My Mum is a resident at Silvanna Court. She moved in last December under very difficult circumstances. She was very worried about the move. However, we have found the staff have really made this home from home for Mum. In particular, it was my mums birthday in October and I can honestly say the staff
made it the best birthday, (Mums words,) that she has had in years! She was thoroughly spoilt with cards and presents from the amazing care team and was made to feel so very special. This was truly heartwarming to see and with absolutely no prompt from the family. We were also allowed to use the beautiful tea room over the weekend so extended family plus family dog, could visit. I really can say, they made her day!! Amazing!!!

My mum has been in Silvanna Court since June after having many falls. She was adamant she would never go into a home, however, after a few weeks to settle she genuinely loves being there. The staff are very friendly and caring, she loves the food and enjoys the company. My mum looks healthier now
than she has for ages and it is so lovely for me knowing she is happy and safe. The manager and staff keep me well informed at all times of how my mum is. I would definitely recommend Silvanna Court.

My mum has advanced Dementia. As a result of many falls, it was no longer possible to support her living at home safely. I was very worried about placing mum into residential care, but it didn't take long to see how hard the staff worked to care for the residents; they really care, providing the best
service they possibly can. The set up is very inclusive, encouraging friends and relatives to come as often as they can, to use the facilities on offer, to attend events, which are very well organised. I have got to know the names of many who work at Silvanna Court, the challenges they face, and I have the utmost respect for what they do. My mum was very house proud, and her room always feels clean and fresh. Staff are very patient with the demands her dementia places on them. I visit her often, and though leaving is always difficult, it is not as difficult as before, and a whole weight has been lifted from my shoulders, knowing she is being looked after in the way that she is.

The staff are amazing and do a fantastic job which must be very challenging at times. We are always informed of any problems/illnesses and consulted on everything to do with her care and welfare.
The new management has done an amazing job on the refurbishment of the foyer, hallways, dining and lounge
rooms which are now bright and cheerful for the residents.
Managers are very approachable with any questions we have. 10/10 for achievement and everything they do.

I would just like to say that my dad is on the ground floor. He was on the upper floor but since he has moved to the ground floor his care is better. I would like to mention a male carer who has been 'top draw' since my dad has been there. I would want him to look after me if I was in that situation.

Having Dad resident at Silvanna Court has lifted a huge weight off our families shoulders. The facilities and staff are perfect for caring for those loved ones that need support later in life, friendly, professional, loving and caring to make Dad so happy and safe. Having long term management and staff
in place reassured me that relationships with the families and residents is a key component of them delivering excellence.

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.
