  • Breton Court, Tenterden
Breton Court is set in an idyllic residential location in the village of St Michaels, just minutes away from the beautiful town of Tenterden.

A truly dedicated team provide residential care, day care and respite care for residents, with twin rooms for couples or friends wishing to share. Breton Court is small enough to offer a truly homely atmosphere and believe wholeheartedly in the motto 'your caring home from home'.

Each resident has a personal key worker, who ensures that all regulatory and personal goals are met. Each resident also has a personalised care plan, detailing all needs and likes/dislikes.

Each resident is treated as part of an extended family and professionals take the time to get to know the resident, their life story, and their families/visitors.

There are many varied activities at the home, with outings being a regular occurrence, in the minibus. The home also has delightful landscaped gardens including a wonderful pond with its own goose.

Meals are cooked fresh throughout the day by fully trained chefs, special diets are catered for and personal favourites are encouraged.

On my visits to my dad at Brenton Court, I can say with all honesty that there are no adverse comments to make. It is a lovely, friendly family orientated home. The owner and staff are never too busy to take the time to answer any questions asked. Very satisfied!

Our dear Mum received excellent care at Breton Court. All the staff treated Mum with the utmost care and dignity. There was always a cheerful atmosphere in the home, especially when one lady was around, as her infectious laugh lifted our spirits. Mum's room was always clean, and the smell of food cooking
made for a very homely atmosphere. As a family, we are very grateful and would happily recommend Brenton Court to anyone.

The staff made me feel like one of the family and very welcome when visiting my mother. I can't thank them enough for their love, support and compassion towards Mum and myself during a very hard time. Although the staff work extremely hard, they always have a smile and time to offer comfort. Thanks
to all of them for being there.

Mum is very well looked after, particularly after recent falls and broken limbs. While she is deteriorating, Mum is clean and tidy. She is having to rely more and more on support, but the staff are friendly and willing to help. I am kept up to date with phone calls and are made so welcome when I visit
each week. My brother and I are happy to leave Mum in Breton Court's care. We know she will be well cared for as long as is necessary.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (10.000)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (10.000) out of 10 for Breton Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 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 5.000 for Breton Court is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 5

  • 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 Breton 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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, 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.
