From the moment I walked into the home and was greeted by the reception team, I knew this was the home for Mum.
Everything about the home had a wonderful warmth to it. The staff are so caring, listening to the residents and their families; they all go above and beyond to make sure 100% care is given.
The food and activities are amazing, can't thank the staff enough.
I have watched Mum blossom in both her physical health and well being. Thank you.

Thank you for this amazing review which says it all. It is often a difficult decision to place a loved one in a care home, especially during these uncertain times. However, hearing how great this experience has been for yourself, is a testament to the wonderful, thoughtful care and consideration provided by the staff and management at this home which has been key in improving your mother’s wellbeing too. It is lovely to hear that she has settled in well and is happy living at Providence Court. The staff will be delighted to hear of your praise. Thank you, once again.

My mother is 92 yrs old, has dementia and is incapable of looking after herself. After 4 months in Providence Court, she now feels safe, happy and at home! What's more, her family feel she is safe and very well cared for.
During this Covid crisis, the staff have remained focussed and professional and
I cannot praise them enough.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

My 92-year-old mother moved into Providence Court in early March, just before lockdown. In the few weeks before lockdown, I could see that we had chosen the right place for her. The environment is so friendly and caring, as are all the staff. My mother was very confused in those early weeks and didn’t
settle well, but the staff were very patient and took time to help her get used to her new home. During the lockdown, they made sure I was fully updated on mums well being and the current situation in the home. Staff have always had time for family, and have been very patient with us during what must have been a very difficult time for them all. I am especially gratefully for the photos they post on Facebook of the activities they do with the residents.
Since my mum moved in, I have not had one single concern regarding her care, and I look forward to being able to spend time at Providence Court with my mum again as soon as possible.

My mum was a resident for approximately 17 months. She had dementia and heart failure. She was looked after fabulously by staff. There were activities for her to join in with. There were outings and she was taken sometimes in her wheelchair for a coffee to the coffee bar. The carers had kindness, compassion
and love for the residents. There were no rules for her to ‘go to bed’. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff or management. It was kept immaculately clean by housekeeping. Food was varied and enough, there were entertainment evenings, family bbq in the summer, mother's day meals etc and daily activities. I was always reassured if needed and any problems were dealt with quickly. The staff at Providence Court became mum’s and my extended family. Management’s door was always open for a friendly chat. I recommend Providence Court unreservedly. I am so grateful that the last 17 months of my mum’s life were enhanced as much as they could be by these wonderful people.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

My fathers stay at Providence Court, which is just over a year - was excellent overall. What really makes it, is the staff. They really work hard and are on it. They are such a happy bunch of people, real joy to go in and visit my dad who doesn't speak, so to be able to get updates about him from staff
super friendly, caring staff makes all the difference. I have had a really good laugh with them at times but most importantly they accommodate the residents and family needs and have gone over and above to do this. Their care is second to none, especially towards the end when my father had his condition, they couldn't have done more and still ring me to find out how he's doing. This really is not just a Care Home, but for me, it was like being home from home. My family is extremely grateful to all of them and very upset that my father will no longer reside there - I would highly recommend this residence to anyone, it has that extra something that is assuring and the grounds are wonderful too.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

My mother has been a resident for six years and over the last few months her needs have changed, the staff have adapted well to meeting them. She is treated with dignity and respect. Specialist equipment is used to assist with her movement and handling. I frequently visit and am always made to feel
welcome. There is good communication regarding her care. The home is bright and clean. The food is good and freshly prepared on-site with dietary needs catered for. Outside there is a nice enclosed garden area. The home is currently led by a good team with whom I have great confidence.

Everyone was so very kind and offered to help me in so many ways, but understood if I chose not to accept. The food was delicious, although I don't have much of an appetite. I was well looked after during my respite care.

My father stayed at Providence Court for two weeks and on his discharge, we had to call an emergency doctor as he had cellulitis - nobody mentioned this to us and it had been going on for some time. Also, my father had someone else's clothes on and his suitcase (which had contained two weeks clothing)
was returned almost empty. Could go into a lot more detail but am going through the complaints procedure.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

Thank you for this feedback regarding your father’s 2-week stay at Providence Court. Quantum Care is known for delivering high standards of care for over 27 years, in the 25 care homes that it manages. It is therefore regrettable, that on this occasion, we have not maintained this quality of care during your father’s stay and wish to genuinely apologise for the upset and inconvenience this has caused your family.


Quantum Care take complaints seriously. Your complaint has been investigated under our own Complaints Procedure and has been dealt with by the Regional Manager for this home. We would like to assure you that the lessons learned will be used to make significant improvements in the training of staff at this home to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

His toilet red pull cord broken, only about 8 inches from the ceiling. I reported this twice and Niece also reported. It took well over a week to fix. Also, could not access alarm from the bed as bedside table was between that and alarm. The mattress was longer than the bed and kept moving so a gap
was near the headboard. Mattress very thin, food not cut up for him as requested. He lost a lot of weight in the seven weeks he was there before we moved him to another home. His mobility went. His dentures moved as his gums had shrunk. Toilet seat too low, had requested deeper one. Nothing happened and asked for a doctor to see him as he had 5 falls. Took 3 weeks.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

Thank you for this second review which relates to the same member of your family, covering the same period of stay at this home.
Quantum Care has investigated your concerns relating to your relative’s care and can advise that some, but not all, of the issues raised, were actioned by the home. With regard to his health; phone discussions and several visits to the home were received from the GP, as well as the paramedics and the frailty nurse who ensured that his health was regularly monitored, and that any care advice provided and referrals made were duly carried out by the care staff during his stay.
Quantum Care is well known throughout all its homes for the genuine, high quality of care that it provides to all its residents. However, on this occasion, it does appear that this standard of care was not provided on a consistent basis during your relative’s stay, which is truly regrettable. We apologise wholeheartedly to all concerned for any upset and inconvenience caused as a result of this.
Quantum Care does not believe in complacency and further training has already been provided to the care staff at this home, which will continue on a regular basis, to improve the provision of care going forward. A new, experienced Home Manager is now in position at this home.

Bed very poor, cover not changed. Alarm mat not always on or under the bed. Food not a good balance i.e. cake for pudding at lunch and tea. Table seat too low, chair not deep enough seat, had to ask more than once for risers. Asked for chiropodist at least on four occasions, never did come also the
hairdresser.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

Thank you for this feedback. At Quantum Care we genuinely strive to provide high levels of care and support to all residents in our care. Reviews and feedback from previous and current residents on this site support this being achieved in many cases. However, it would appear that we have not met your expectations during your stay at this home and can only apologise for any inconvenience and upset caused to you and your family during this time. Your feedback is important to us and will be used to improve our services going forward.

My dad was an emergency admission. Brilliant relationships with all staff from the off. As Dad soon settled, due to high staff input and nurture. All interventions seem to be excellent, over and above what one could reasonably expect. As Dad approached the end of life, brilliant care was consistently
offered. I could only hope when the time comes, the standards set by this home and staff are for me too.

Reply from Tilly Leitao, Customer & Sales Co-ordinator at Providence Court

Thank you for this kind review. Dealing with emergency admissions can be an anxious time for all concerned, so a proactive approach with good communications between all is vital to ensure a smooth transfer. We are pleased that whilst your father lived at this home, he was looked after with great care and sincere compassion.

My husband has been a resident at Providence Court for the last six weeks, he has been treated with the utmost kindness and respect. I visit him twice daily at various times and I am welcomed every time. The staff put me at ease as I too was in a very vulnerable state, feeling guilty that I had to put
my beloved husband into the hands of strangers but everyone involved from managers to all the carers made me feel confident that he would be well cared for.

My father was extremely well cared for over the three years he was a resident here. The staff were superb and very caring. The home was always clean and brightly furnished. My father was treated with respect and dignity. There were several functions when friends and family were invited to come along,
but we were also made very welcome whenever we popped in to visit. The catering staff were splendid and the food was freshly prepared and delicious. I cannot praise this care home enough.

My mother has been a resident of Providence Court for 10 months. In general, the service offered has been good. Recently a new care home manager has improved staff attentiveness, reduced reliance on agency staff and lead a general smartening up. My mother's room is lovely and there are many quiet corners
where she can sit.

Since my mum was moved to Providence Court after a fire at her previous care home, the staff have been kind with helping her settle in and making her feel at home. She is treated with kindness and dignity. The home is bright and clean and the staff provide activities which she enjoys. I feel confident
that my mum is safe and cared for and she is happy and feels at home.
The staff also provide activities for family and friends to join in, i.e. BBQ's, fetes etc.

My mother recently celebrated her 107th birthday and we feel that attaining this great age is mainly attributed to the care she has received at Providence Court. She has been a resident for approx 10 years during which time she has been cared for through chest infections, pneumonia and most recently
gastro enteritis. The staff, as well as caring so well for my mother show great kindness and respect.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.527)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.527) out of 10 for Providence Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.527 for Providence Court is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.527

  • 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 Providence Court is based on 19 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 19 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.
