The admission process was beautifully handled - especially as Mum was in a Stroke Unit far from Ross Court and this was just before Christmas.
The Home itself has been refurbished to a high standard. All staff were caring, polite and efficient. Even in the short time Mum was there we really got to
know them extremely well.
It was good to witness the residents meeting where they were encouraged to say anything at all that they felt they needed to. I was just wondering whether this may be continued on a more personal level in residents rooms as some may be reluctant to speak out in front of others?
I really appreciate the fact that management were always available if you needed them. Thank you.

Ross Court Care Home is a first-class care home, providing a happy, safe and professional environment for its residents.
My father has been a resident for two years and the level of care he has received has been above and beyond.
I know he is both happy and well cared for and that ensures I have no
concerns regarding his welfare.
Keep up the good work!

My father moved into Ross Court Care Home last spring and we have found the staff to be patient and excellent with him. He has Alzheimer's so can be quite challenging sometimes. His needs are met daily. My only recommendation would be for regular sit-downs with the manager or senior staff to review
how he is doing. Although it is the cold season and staff are busy, it would be good if he could be taken for a walk each day, as he misses the outdoors.

I just wanted to express my thanks to the whole team at Barchester Ross Court Care Home for the care and support they gave my dad during the last two years of his life. He definitely wouldn't have got to 92 without them and that support extended to the family too. Thank you Ross Court Care Home.

A birthday get-together, tea party was arranged for my mother's 90th birthday. The manager and staff couldn't do enough for the family and friends. The food was delicious and so much of it. My mother has been there for two years and we would highly recommend the home for so many reasons.

Recently we attended the home for 4 days, to visit for a 90th birthday. All staff were polite and friendly and seemed to actively engage with all residents. The home itself is bright, clean and very comfortable. The staff helped organise a very enjoyable party which family and friends attended, as well
as other residents.

Food excellent. I explained to staff I had all my facilities, complaints not knocking at bedroom door for entry. Been there three days when head nurse entered my room and opened my wardrobe, what are you doing I asked, reply getting you a clean shirt you have had that white one on three days, I only
wear white and change every two days. Told her don't come to my room again. Complaint 2) two strangers in my room, did not know where they were. Security shocking. Will not be returning.

Barchester Ross Court Care Home put on a beautiful afternoon tea for Mum's 97th birthday for her family guests. It was lovely, with sandwiches, savouries, birthday cake and a beautifully decorated table.
It was a lovely surprise and made Mum's and our day very special.
Thank you to all concerned.

The moment you walk into Ross Court you can feel the warm atmosphere and friendly welcome. The staff are very cheerful and helpful. The home is exceptionally clean and decorated to a high standard. My friend has settled in really well, and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to other families
for their relatives.

Ross Court is a first-class care home. Under excellent management, the staff are brilliant and go to extraordinary lengths to ensure that my mother, and all the other residents, are comprehensively cared for, with compassion and dignity. Communications flow between myself and the home is faultless.
Ross Court has a convivial atmosphere and it is always a pleasure for me to visit my mother there. Keep up the good work!

It's a dream come true for my dad to be at Barchester Ross Court Care Home. Beautiful home with next-level care and facilities. All the staff are so friendly and helpful. You can see they love what they do. Love that they do activities to get the residents socialising. It helps me massively knowing
Dad is being cared for 24/7. The managers at Ross Court have certainly gone the extra mile for my dad. Forever grateful.

My mother's 98th birthday at Barchester Ross Court Care Home, an outstanding celebration, such thought and care went into the afternoon. The staff are always wonderful and since the new manager has been in place, everything has been under continuous review to see if it can be even better. Mum is very
happy and extremely well cared for. I am confident that she is safe and well-stimulated too. The care she receives is second to none.

My mother continues to enjoy being a resident here. Very happy!
The home was happy to accommodate a family get-together, for eight people, to celebrate my mother's 98th birthday. We had a wonderful lunch and the table setting surpassed all our expectations. It was wonderful, certainly a wow factor!
Also to share our celebrations with Mum's wider family, the other residents and the amazing carers.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.745)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.745) out of 10 for Barchester Ross Court Care Home 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 52 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.745 for Barchester Ross Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (496 Excellents x 5) + (89 Goods x 4) + (27 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 616 Ratings = 4.745

  • 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 Barchester Ross Court Care Home is based on 50 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 50 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.
