It needs investigating! My mum was dumped in Vauxhall Court by Adult Care, "care" why do they use this word? The only way they care is about themselves. My mum was in hospital nearly 2 months for leg problems and ended up in this place against her will awaiting carers to come home, but I honestly can't
see them getting any. My mother is 87 and never had to endure something like this.
I hand on heart have witnessed that "senior" carers have blatantly lied! And you're supposed to have your family in a place like this. I get told to speak to the manager, pffft nobody lets you get to her! Let alone she ever returns your call! Rude and ignorant, so I don't see why some are giving 5*s.

Good afternoon. Due to the concerns raised I have completed an internal investigation, the staff have been dealt with accordingly, resulting in a positive outcome.

Having to live so far away from my family is very difficult and when my dad went into care I was concerned for his health and welfare. I worked in twenty-three nursing homes at the end of the last century and I fully understand the challenges of the industry. I know when I am seeing good or poor practices.
I finally got home to see Dad and travelled to Boston with some knowledge of the genuine care the staff have as I call my dad every Sunday. I was not surprised at all to find that his room was clean and entirely fit for purpose, his clothing all in place and his treats and personal effects were carefully stowed away for security and ease of access for him to use. I read his notes carefully and observed that he gets fantastic care and attention every day regardless of his mood and his personal hygiene is attended to with dignity daily. I cannot praise the staff highly enough and will be writing to the manager about one in particular. I am at peace with my dad’s care. Thank you so much.

I cannot fault the care my father had. I don’t really want to name names but the manager, along with a couple of other staff, were genuine and very caring towards my father. Every time I visited, the hospitality was excellent. I’m so happy with how my father was looked after right until the end of his
life that I am thinking of placing a family friend there. Well done Vauxhall Court Care Home! And a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.

My Nan was in Vauxhall Court for nearly five years. I can honestly say the improvement since July 2021 has been immense. With a new management team, the manager and her team the home have gone from strength to strength! During my nan's final days I cannot praise the staff enough, to allow her to die
with dignity and care. Vauxhall Court is the closest you will get to a home from home. It will never be easy to put a loved one into care but rest assured Vauxhall Court staff will care and do all they can to make them happy and safe!

My father had excellent care at Vauxhall Court. His room was excellent and the staff were kind, caring and very capable. He received excellent care. The food was also very good! At the end of his life, he was treated with dignity and respect. The cleaners did an amazing job, always so helpful and thorough
in their work. Even the caretaker offered us kind words and support when my father was near the end of his life. I can honestly say that I am very happy with my experience of this care home.

I have a relative at Vauxhall Court, that has been there for now three years. I can honestly say that the care that she receives is exactly what we were hoping for her, which is reassuring for me and my family. The care team at the care home are always welcoming and supportive, and every time I visit
she looks well cared for. During my time at the home, I was helped by the management team. And one of the senior carers would always update me on how she was doing. I always felt comfortable when leaving her, as I knew she was in good hands. I want to thank all the care team at Vauxhall Court for supporting me and my relative.

Vauxhall Court provided outstanding care to my father over a period of 10 months, the last 10 months of his life. I cannot praise the entire team enough, from manager and assistant manager to the carers. The care was good enough to look after him from moderate dementia to end of life care after he was
diagnosed with liver cancer. What a team. In an age when NHS and local authority communication is so poor, the Vauxhall Court team stepped forward and provided my dad with outstanding end of life care. They took my worries away about the need for 24/7 one to one hospice care. They provided something even better and allowed my sister and I to simply spend time with dad whilst they did the rest. I would have fought to have kept him there. I cannot praise the team enough and thank goodness care like this exists. I would recommend the overall service to anyone.

Current Review Score: 7.7 (7.728)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.7 (7.728) out of 10 for Vauxhall Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 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 4.023 for Vauxhall Court is calculated as follows: ( (27 Excellents x 5) + (6 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 44 Ratings = 4.023

  • 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 3.705 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vauxhall 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.6 = 0.455

  • 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.
