As a family, we are very pleased with Thomas Henshaw Court. My aunt has been very happy there - we never expected she would not want to go home. That is the best commendation I can give.

My aunt has been a resident of Thomas Henshaw Court for the best part of 30-year., She came back in the day of "home for the blind". She has always been so settled and happy with you. She feels staff are part of her family. Our family is very small - so this means a lot. You have given her fun and joy.
You comforted her when her brother, my dad, died in 2007. You always make us feel welcome. She is safe, and she is loved at Henshaw. Thank you.

I simply don't have words to describe Thomas Henshaw Court! What an amazing place - all the staff are true angels.
Show so much care and attention to residents, it's as if they are their own family. My dad received such good care here and was always treated with dignity and respect.

Thomas Henshaw Court is a very welcoming and caring establishment. All the staff have a great rapport with the residents who are totally respected and provided with great care. The residents' rooms and the home's facilities are excellent. The residents also have access to well-maintained grounds at
all times. Following a stroke, my father's well being, self-esteem and happiness were improved considerably while at Thomas Henshaw Court.

The first thing you notice when you enter Thomas Henshaw Court is the atmosphere.
It's one of warmth and happiness.
Then you meet the staff and find them to be a wonderful cross-section of people who engage fully with the residents, and you feel an aura of "family".
Everyone is very friendly,
relaxed and more than helpful.
It's obvious that every resident is considered special, it shows in their faces. They look happy, they're loved, looked after, safe and secure.
My mother settled in very quickly and loves living there. She has made lots of friends and now has a social life and a new "family" to live with. There are regularly plenty of activities for the residents, who appear to absolutely love to engage in.
There are lots of visits from entertainers and all the residents and some extended family member to watch and enjoy!
The menu is well thought out, and the food is great. The dining room is attractively presented and pristine.
The resident's apartment are kept immaculate, the staff take pride in their work, and in the standard of care they provide.
One word to describe Thomas Henshaw Court "Excellent".

Our wonderful Mum, who passed away March of this year, was resident for 3 years. Throughout that time, she was cared for with love, kindness and ultimate respect.
We cannot express the gratitude for everything that was done for her and for us. Each team member made a positive difference. How many families
can say they had complete confidence that their loved one was safe, well cared for and they had made the 'right choice'.
We feel extremely fortunate and hope that they know the value we will forever place on what they did for her and for us. My brothers and I were also welcomed into that family, greeted warmly on each visit. At our darkest time, it was wonderful to receive the continued support - nothing was too much trouble.
We would, without hesitation, recommend anyone making the very difficult choice of what to do or where to go to approach Thomas Henshaw Court. We just wanted to place on record our gratitude to a wonderful team. Thank you Thomas Henshaw team - simply the best.

My first impressions of Thomas Henshaw Court were good and after twelve months I still feel very positive. The staff interact well with both residents and visitors. I have always found them courteous and respectful to residents and show great patience and good humour when dealing with difficult situations.
The laundry service and meals are both excellent.

The home is very caring towards my Mum and meets her individual needs. She is very happy and is leading a fulfilled life. There are outings at least twice a week and holidays twice a year. The staff are wonderful and help my Mum when needed. She is encouraged to include herself in all the activities
they have on offer.

My father has been in Thomas Henshaw Court for 20 months now and to date, I have not had any reason to complain. I have seen some new carers in the last few months all of which have been well trained and able to do the many varied tasks required of them. All the staff carry out their duties with a smile
which is so reassuring when Dad is completely reliant on them.

Staff are first class but I feel sometimes Anchor Trust expect too much of them. For example when the chef not in staff are expected to cook, also when chef not in, residents do not get all that is on the menu. Office staff are not in at weekends so any problems have to be sorted by team leaders who
have hands full attending to residents.
The home is a lovely, happy friendly place to be, due to the caring staff.

My Dad has been at Thomas Henshaw Court for nearly 12 months. It was a big step up for him and our family. He has settled in well and we as a family feel reassured that he is cared for properly. I am a senior nurse myself in the NHS and I am very happy with the standard of care, compassion, communication
and commitment of the staff shown towards my dad. I really feel he has a 'little home' within a big organisation and he tells me lots of stories! And it's good to see him interacting if needed, but also have his privacy/dignity maintained when reassured.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.763)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.763) out of 10 for Thomas Henshaw Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 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 4.481 for Thomas Henshaw Court is calculated as follows: ( (45 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 79 Ratings = 4.481

  • 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 4.282 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Thomas Henshaw Court is based on 6 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 = 3.6

    • 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.682

  • 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.
