My Dad has been a resident at Housman Court for about a year. He seems to be very happy there, they are keeping him well-fed, safe and entertained with lots of activities. Very quickly into the Covid-19 situation, they set up a Facebook page so that we could keep up to date with activities and seeing
our relatives looking happy and well. It's been a great service in these difficult times and Dad is still smiling. Thank you.

We have a family member resident at this home and are astonished at the level of care provided. He is treated with great dignity and always looks well dressed and normally responsive to our visits. We have nothing but praise for the staff as they look after him so well. Thank you to all the staff of
Housman Court for their attention to detail. Well Done!

Housman Court is a friendly and caring environment. I have no worries or concerns about the safety, care and well being of my relative who has been resident there for the past 18 months or so. There are lots of outings and activities for residents to get involved with. Lovely staff, all very friendly
and helpful.

My father was a resident at Housman Court until September 2018 when he sadly died. I just want to say how wonderful the staff at Housman were to both my father and myself. We were both treated with kindness and respect at all times. They went out of their way to settle dad into the home - and he wasn't
the easiest to please! The staff were very accommodating to all his needs and went above and beyond to ensure he was happy. Whenever I visited, I was always offered refreshments and if dad was having his lunch, I was offered a hot meal also. I witnessed the staff entertaining the residents by playing games with them, there were sing-a-longs provided by visiting entertainers and trips out provided to those that wanted them. I cannot praise Housman Court strongly enough. Thank you, everyone, I will never forget your kindness.

The staff at Housman Court are very caring, and my father seems content to be there. My father has dementia and I get the impression that most of the other residents also have dementia. I turn up to visit at any time in the morning or afternoon, sometimes seeing him in the lounge or dining room, otherwise
upstairs in his room. All the staff I encounter are friendly and whenever I see them interacting with a resident it is always in a kindly way.

During the eleven years my mother was a resident at Housman Court the overall standard of care was of a high standard and especially the end of life care was excellent. Any problems of concerns I ever had were always dealt with efficiently. It was always a pleasure for me to visit the home too.

Mom was at Housman Court for four and a half years. Although the building was not purpose built, meaning narrow corridors and small bedrooms. The care mom received was wonderful. This included care for the family at the end of mum's life. The carers we had dealings with were second to none and dealt
with any issues we may have had. The building needed better double glazing but overall it was the best place for my mother at a difficult time in our lives.

Due to mum reaching the point that she needed specialist care to meet her needs she moved into Housman Court. This is such a tough emotional decision for families. However we have been repeatedly assured that the decision was the best for mum by the loving and professional care shown by all the staff.
The staff are very welcoming, you can visit anytime you like. Mum always seems relaxed and content. Any minor issues can be discussed openly and resolved amicably.

Current Review Score: 7.6 (7.594)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.6 (7.594) out of 10 for Housman Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 3 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 3.844 for Housman Court is calculated as follows: ( (24 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 45 Ratings = 3.844

  • 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 3.75 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Housman Court is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6 = 0.5

  • 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.
