  • 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 wonderful meals and is cared and loved for by the staff. They take their time to listen to her many stories and treat her with respect. The home is generally very clean and tidy, and all the staff are friendly towards visitors.

Our mother lived at Silvanna Court for almost four years until her recent death. My sister visited daily and I visited at least once a week. The care she received was excellent! Although initially mum was able to be fairly independent, over the last year she became increasingly reliant on the carers
whose patience, kindness, gentleness and yet still ensuring her as much dignity as possible was fantastic. I would not hesitate to recommend Silvanna Court to anyone.

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.
