After a five-week respite stay arranged by the local authority, we thought my father-in-law would be in safe hands to allow my mother-in-law to have a well-deserved rest. No, the complete opposite. My father-in-law got out of the care home unknown to staff and was found luckily and taken back to the
home. There has been an unwitnessed fall leading to an A&E visit and fractured ribs, then on another visit we found my father-in-law covered in poo and left on the bed and we discovered a gash on his leg which no staff member could tell us how it had occurred.
The level of care at this home is so poor it's embarrassing, yes we had a letter to apologise for my father-in-law getting out of the home but it shouldn't have happened. It could have been so much worse, we are so thankful to the person who found him. Please don't entertain this home for your loved ones, please look around carefully.
I just hope improvements will be made all around and nothing like this happens to someone else's loved ones.

Reply from Anson Court Residental Home, Management team at Anson Court

Dear Reviewer,
We are deeply saddened to hear about the experience you and your family had during your father-in-law's stay at our care home. Your concerns are taken very seriously, and we appreciate the opportunity to address them and provide some context.
1. Regarding the resident leaving the service:
- It is indeed unfortunate that your father-in-law managed to break a window restrictor and climb out of the window and abscond from our care home. However, we would like to clarify that it was a staff member who located him and safely returned him to the home, not a member of the public as suggested.
- Following this incident, we implemented a comprehensive absconding care plan and risk assessment, including the Herbert Protocol, to ensure swift and effective responses to any future occurrences. The matter was duly reported to the appropriate authorities who reviewed and investigated the matter and approved of our preventative measures.
2. Concerning the unwitnessed fall:
- We regret that this incident occurred. The review suggests that your father-in-law suffered broken ribs from the fall. However, the GP has confirmed that X-rays taken post-incident did not show any signs of broken ribs.
3. On finding the resident soiled on the bed:
- Your father-in-law was on 15-minute checks due to his condition. Unfortunately he suffers from dementia, which sometimes makes caregiving challenging, particularly when he becomes agitated and resistive. On the day in question, the resident requested privacy while on the toilet, and when the staff member returned, he had soiled himself and was resistant to accepting help. The staff member briefly left the room to seek help from the senior carer, who instructed her to return to the room and advised she would send additional help. Unfortunately it was during this brief period, you arrived. Staff apologised for the distress this caused you and assured you that our staff were in the process of assisting your father in law.
4. Regarding the injury on the residents leg:
- This injury was first observed during your visit, and there were no prior records of any such marks. We have conducted an investigation to understand how this could have happened and to prevent similar incidents in the future.
We sincerely apologise for the distress these incidents have caused. Your feedback is invaluable, and we are committed to making improvements to ensure the safety and well-being of all our residents.
We hope to rebuild your trust in our care home.
Sincerely,
Anson Court Residental Home Management team

The damning report on Anson Court by the CQC is so unfair in my and my family's opinion.
I can only praise both staff and management for the care, compassion and understanding
of my husband's needs which are sometimes disruptive and challenging.
This is the second care home that he has been in.
The first failed to meet his needs.
We as a family have a good relationship with both staff and management.
We are thankful for all the care and attention that they give, not only to my husband but
to all the other residents. I visit very often and have seen the kindness and patience they all have.

When we were looking for a residential home with dementia awareness for my mother we did a lot of research and Anson Court was at the top of our list. We have not been disappointed.
All the staff at Anson Court carry out their roles in a very welcoming, caring and professional manner. They know their
residents.


Based on our observations of the staff with my mother and other residents, they know how to deal with any issues that arise from time to time. The staff are always cheerful and helpful and strive to do what's best for the residents.
I know in the short time that my mum has been there, all the staff know her very well indeed. The care shown in all areas is, we feel, outstanding, together with humour and love.


Mum's visitors have all commented that we did well to find this home and what a lovely atmosphere it is.
We can't praise the home enough and it is a great relief to know that our mum is happy and very well cared for.

I would not recommend this care home. Management were abrupt and argumentative. The residence smells of urine and not very clean. My relative's health deteriorated whilst in the first week of respite and ended up in hospital. This is all I am prepared to comment on.

My mother has been a resident in Anson Court for a few years now and my brother and I are extremely content with the service and care that they provide to a frail old lady.
The staff are actually amazing and it never ceases to amaze me personally how caring and considerate they all are.
My mother
is becoming very aggressive with her family members which seems to very upsetting for her and the staff are so loving, yes I actually said loving. It is such an amazing thing to witness, they are brilliant.
The food there is also very good, using locally sourced fresh ingredients. The meals are cracking, well presented and where required spoon fed to residents who need extra care.
The staff are all very positive in nature and get on wonderfully well together providing an impressive team ethic which is resident beneficial of course.
Anson Court gets our vote, my mother is safe, well fed, and loved and cared for
Thanks to the manager and all at Anson, well done, you are fantastic.

This is our first care home experience and I cannot thank the manager and her amazing team enough. They admit that they are not perfect but that they do care and this is tangible every day. My Father and I visit daily and each day are made to feel welcome, nothing is ever too much trouble. Mom has thrived
at Anson Court, she has medium-severe Dementia with some capacity and Mom is treated with compassion, dignity and kindness by all the staff.


Every member of staff is fantastic, each bringing their own special way to each different situation. Residents are encouraged to be very independent. The home is small and cosy and is very much home from home. Anson Court held out their hands to my Mom at a time when we knew we could no longer cope at home and we have never looked back. They help us sleep at night!

Current Review Score: 1.1 (1.100)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 1.1 (1.100) out of 10 for Anson Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 1.1 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 0.0 out of 5 from 0 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 1.100 for Anson Court is calculated as follows: ( (1 Poors x 2) + (9 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 10 Ratings = 1.1

  • 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 0 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Anson Court is based on 0 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) =

    • 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 35 registered maximum number of service users is 7. 0 Positive Reviews ÷ 7 = 0

  • 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.
