My husband has been in Russell Churcher Court for two years. During this time he has received excellent care from all the staff.
The manager and staff are always available to answer any questions that I need to ask.
My husband is very happy as much as one can expect.

The care home is very nice unfortunately my husband has very complex issues and so care cannot be given 24/7 and so anxiety was there with him most of the time, however, the care given one cannot fault.

I have been to a few other care homes, where my husband has been for a short stay for respite but in my opinion, they did not reach the same standard as Russell Churcher Court. Such a lovely, homely atmosphere, no problems at all.
All the staff are so kind and I spend quite a lot of time there.

Our mother moved into Russell Churcher Court earlier this year. She is very happy there and takes full advantage of all the facilities on offer. It puts our mind at rest knowing that she is living in such a caring environment.

Lovely care home, the staff ALL of them are so kind and caring to all residents, they are so good at keeping us informed of anything Dad needs. We were concerned about him needing to move to a home for his own safety but we could not have found a better home. Dad is happy, he has his own en suite room
and his own furniture.
Since moving there at the end of April Dad has got more life in him and he enjoys the activities.
Dad is so well looked after if I can't get in to see him I know he is quite safe where he is. He was unwell and had to go to hospital. I received a call as he was taken to hospital and the home and I kept each other up to date on what was happening. Dad has his dignity and respect which is very important. It is such a nice place. My daughter age 29 said she will move in after seeing the care and attention her Grampy gets. If anyone asked me I would say its the best home in Gosport.

The staff at this home have, over the last 4 years, looked after my mother who had vascular dementia. This condition became worse over time but never once did I hear a raised voice. Every member of staff worked with a smile and also treated visitors with respect and care. Their professionalism was exemplary.
They made my mother's last years more comfortable and manageable and I really cannot fault them in any way.

In all the years that my sister has been a resident at Russell Churcher Court, there has never been a time when I felt that my sister was not being looked after in a professional and kindly way.

My husband is always met with a friendly greeting. He has the same room which makes him feel secure. The home has a relaxed atmosphere offering good food, various entertainment and excellent service at all times. He always comes home in good spirits which I think is a good advert for the home.

I am very grateful that my husband is in such good hands and would not wish him to be moved anywhere else. The staff are very kind to us both. They have been quick to obtain medical help frequently as he has deteriorated in health which gives me peace of mind.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.621)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.621) out of 10 for Russell Churcher Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.621 for Russell Churcher Court is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 132 Ratings = 4.621

  • 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 Russell Churcher Court is based on 11 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
