My family and myself are very pleased with the care given to our father. All the carers are very good and easy to talk to and ask if we need anything when we visit. A good atmosphere is very noticeable too. The food is excellent and dad kept very clean with clean clothes. I would not hesitate to recommend
St Mary's Court to my friends and family. Thank you for looking after him, so much better than where he was before.

My father was moved here for ‘end of life’ care whilst suffering from a brain tumour. Me and my mum would like to say a massive thank you to ALL the staff of St Mary’s as they made my dads final weeks as comfortable & dignified as possible for him and for us. You should all feel proud of yourselves
for doing such great work, I cannot thank you enough.

My sister has been a resident of St Mary Court for almost three years and in all that time although her mental health has deteriorated, she has had the most wonderful care.
The home is warm and friendly, I have always been made to feel welcome and included in all decisions regarding to her care. The
staff are fantastic the food is wonderful and plentiful, the activities are amazing and plentiful. We are encouraged to part-take in them, a true home from home and a real family atmopshere.

My father has been a resident for the past two years. He was previously at two other care homes and could not settle. He has settled and if any problems arise they are dealt with quickly and efficiently.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.389)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.389) out of 10 for St Mary's Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.445 for St Mary's Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (147 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (13 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 218 Ratings = 4.445

  • 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 4.944 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for St Mary's Court Care Home is based on 17 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 18 = 0.944

  • 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.
