I can not express how grateful I was for the love & care that was shown to my dear mum from the day she moved in, in 2016 to the day she passed away in January this year 2020. My family & I were over whelmed with the support the staff showed to us at sad & difficult times. I personally feel the staff
are part of my extended family.

My grandfather had a brief but comfortable stay at Stradbroke Court which only lasted for a little over a month but the care that he was given was second to none during that time. I and my family were more than happy with the levels of care that he was given and the communications at all times were
fantastic, especially during the particularly difficult Coronavirus situation which made things difficult for all involved.

Reply from Viktor Zak, Regional Manager at Stradbroke Court

Thank you very much for your words of appreciation. We will ensure that these are shared with the care home and its team.

Dad has been at Stradbroke Court since September 2019. He has been very well looked after, Staff are all very good. There's a nice homely atmosphere. Everyone of the staff are very sociable. Nothing seems like too much trouble. Very clean and spacious for residents to walk around. Lovely gardens to
enjoy.

My mother has dementia and the care provided by the staff at Stradbroke Court has been wonderful. They are friendly, happy to assist with any questions or queries we may have. They look after my father when he visits every day too and recently when he became unwell during a visit, they ensured he was
looked after and called for medical support. I cannot thank them enough - they are brilliant.

Really happy with the care my aunty received.
Staff approachable with a "cannot do enough" attitude. The manager actually never seen in the office, but more likely to find her with residents and staff, around the home, working alongside staff and even making breakfasts or drinks!
The activity team
is brilliant. Granting wishes and constant one to one time.
Lovely food, real home-cooked meals.
Tea shop available for visitors in reception and a real community feel at events alongside the family feel of the home, where you never see a staff member without a smile on their face!

Excellent care of my mother, who without a shadow of a doubt, spent the most wonderful last year of her life here. Without a doubt, the staff are great, with the most person-centred, resident oriented. The Manager is brilliant. Attended to every little whim or concern, even in the middle of the night.
Carers go way above and beyond. Activities are creative and well thought out.
These staff work at this home because they love it, not just because its a job.

My sister went into Stradbroke Court on July 31st 2018. She was greeted on arrival in a most warm and caring way. Her room was lovely, clean and all facilities. The home was a credit to the caring staff and food etc. Always bright and cheerful. Staff always at hand to be spoken to about her welfare.
She did deteriorate in later months (September) Went to hospital for extra care - returned to Stradbroke Court and then she died on October 2nd 2018. She could not have been better treated and gave my family great comfort.

My mother has been here for a few weeks now. The standard of care and attention to detail is excellent. Mother had been suffering from painful, intractable leg ulcers for several years. These with proper attention and regular dressing changes have healed completely.

I can not express how happy I am that I have moved my great-grandmother to Stradbroke Court care home. They were all so welcoming making her feel like she was at home as soon as she got there. She keeps commenting 'how lovely the staff are and she loves the food'. The care home is extremely clean and
has great facilities and I strongly believe the value is superb especially after seeing how great the care and support is. Once again, Thank you Stradbroke Court Care Home.

Can't fault home for food, cleanliness, staff etc. The problem lies with "human rights" staff can't force residents to eat, drink or leave their room to do activities but only encourage them. If, when you visit your relative and they have a smile on their face, they must be happy. My relative always
has a smile on her face. Need I say more.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.705)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.705) out of 10 for Stradbroke 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.705 for Stradbroke Court is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.705

  • 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 Stradbroke Court is based on 14 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
