Mum went into the home very suddenly at the end of March as we felt her situation wouldn't be safe at home over the Covid-19 crisis. The home has kept her safe and protected. On moving in Mum was isolated for two weeks. I haven't been in but now speak through her open bedroom window. Every person, both
management and staff, are pleasant and professional. Mum seems satisfied with her care and has a lovely room with a view, enjoys the food and gets medical help if required. She doesn't take part in many activities, but this could be just her as she lacks motivation and says she is tired. The home is a bit tatty on the outside, but inside is lovely and homely too.

The care is excellent. We have had a couple of little incidents where Mum has tried to get out. Mum opened an outside door to the back garden and alarm bells were raised. Mum also tried to get out via the kitchen. On both occasions, Mum was calmed down by the staff as she was a bit confused. They contacted
us on both occasions.
My sister and I are very pleased with the care Mum is receiving. All the staff are doing a fantastic job under these very difficult circumstances. It must be very hard for all the staff, as is very difficult for us as a family not being able to see Mum as she keeps forgetting about the virus and why we can't go into the building to see her. Mum said to me a few weeks ago I feel abandoned and I'm not surprised as all care homes went into lockdown on the 13th March 23 weeks ago.
Overall Mum seems very happy and settled.

The staff at Ingersley Court are dedicated, committed and professional. They are a cohesive unit with the common aim of providing the best care they can for residents with dementia. They respect the wishes of my mother, protect her dignity and work with considerable limitations. Their patience, warmth,
love and care are evident on a daily basis. They are quick to make the most of the best days for her. I am reassured that they keep me well informed and have a rigorous record keeping system. I have every confidence that my mother is in safe hands.

Ingersley Court is bright, cheerful and very clean.


The staff are wonderfully kind, patient and considerate to the resident's needs and each person is treated with respect. My home is in Canada and I am greatly reassured now concerning my mother's care and well being.

Make sure batteries are in my mums hearing aid, it is working, and she has it in. Also to please make sure she has clean clothes every couple of days as my mum's dementia is changing as she tends to put the same clothes on again. Really pleased with the care, they do a brilliant job.

I was delighted on my visit to my Nana to see how happy and well cared for she is. She gave us a full tour and introduced us to all her friends and staff. Was delighted to see the open door policy as she felt comfortable popping into both the staff office and the managers office to say hello. Her room
was cosy and personal. The home was spotless and the care staff were great and she clearly had good connections. She told us about the regular activities and that she had been asked to get up to sing by the artist on her birthday, which she loved being a singer. The lounge had a lovely cosy and relaxed atmosphere with residents happily chatting or reading with a cup of tea. Nana says the food is lovely. From what Nana told us and what we saw for ourselves, this is a caring happy home. Thanks to "the lads" and "the lasses" equally for their patience and care and the management for making mum and me feel welcome. It meant a lot to us.

1 - Managers at Ingersley Court are superb - however, they struggle to retain staffing and I feel if senior managers were to pay staff a decent salary, staffing would stabilise.
2 - Room not always clean - sometimes sticky tables and carpet not cleaned - this once again, only happens when short-staffed.
Dining room and conservatory clean and well-maintained.
3 - Mother-in-law loves trips out and activities - more would be appreciated.

Reply from Janice Johnson, Home Manager at Ingersley Court

Thank you for taking the time to give this feedback, which is always appreciated and helps us improve.


There has been a small amount of staff turnover this year, which is an inevitable part of running any operation, and we do our best to keep the impact of this to a minimum for residents. We have increased our overall staff numbers in the same period, and we are working closely with new starters to provide comprehensive training.


We are sorry to hear that your recent experience has not been as consistent as usual. We certainly aim to live up to the high standards of support, cleanliness and activities provision that our customers rightly expect, and we trust this will soon be your experience at Ingersley again.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for Ingersley Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.799 for Ingersley Court is calculated as follows: ( (193 Excellents x 5) + (35 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.799

  • 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 Ingersley Court is based on 20 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 20 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.
