Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.579)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.579) out of 10 for Adamscourt is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.779 for Adamscourt is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.779

  • 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 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Adamscourt is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 25 registered maximum number of service users is 5, which has been reached with 8 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.

Vanessa Howard

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2012

My name is Vanessa, I Have two grown-up children.
I have worked in care since I left school, my first job was in the TB hospital in Bournemouth. This was a very challenging role, but I gained a lot of experience and it armed me with the training and resilience I needed to further my career. I then moved to Boscombe Hospital which was a different kind of care. This hospital closed and the new Bournemouth General Hospital was built I moved there for a while, and I then decided to take some time out and dedicate some time to my family. I started to miss working in care, I applied for the role of care assistant at Adamscourt and started in 2012 and gained a lot of experience and was promoted to senior, then Deputy manager and then in 2019 I was given the opportunity to become the home manager this has been an exciting and demanding challenge and I continue to learn each day. I am proud of myself for my achievements and the home has grown from strength to strength.


I have achieved my level 5 in care management and continue to attend courses which relate to care.


When I am not working I enjoy spending time with my family and our dogs. I also like reading and listening to music.

Jaroslaw Zeiciak

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2010

My name is Jerry and as deputy manager of Adamscourt Care Home, I lead, together with the home manager our wonderful team of care, catering and maintenance team.


We are looking after and creating a homely, loving atmosphere, for all our residents and everyone involved with us.


I have been involved in the care industry for more than 20 years, across three different countries and over the years, I have experienced a very positive evolution in how care is being provided and planned for vulnerable individuals on a person-centred basis.


I am very passionate about providing person-centred care, especially for those living with Dementia and empowering our residents with all aspects of their lives. I believe you cannot categorize people by what ails them, I think each person is unique therefore we need to support each person in their own unique, tailored way.


I have achieved many qualifications in my time in care and continue to learn and train. I am NVQ 5 qualified.


In my personal life, I have two little trouble-making boys! (4 and 7 years old) who keeps my wife and me busy.


My hobbies are running, skateboarding, martial arts, surfing, swimming, reading, playing chess and any board games.
