My mum has been in the home for 3 years, she has dementia which has gradually got worse. The staff have been excellent in the difficult role of caring for her needs. The home has kept us well informed and coped well during the pandemic which has been difficult for us all.

Mum was admitted to Royal Court at the beginning of the Coronavirus, unfortunately, she was placed here to prevent hospital admission after having a fall. This was very upsetting for the family as not only was she admitted on her own, we were not allowed to see her due to government guidelines. Needless
to say, she has been well cared for, her spirits remain high. Family and mum have been very confident she has been able to settle well in an attentive environment. All help adhered to for all communications in these difficult times.

A previous issue was caused by a change in management and reflected the fact that communication with relatives was non-existent. Recent changes have been made, and those who were proving difficult to work with are no longer there! I was invited into the care home by the current manager. I visited today
and I felt comfortable discussing previous issues with the manager, she listened and we both agree things in the past should have been handled differently. Visits are now taking place in a well-designed visiting pod. My gran has always been complimentary of staff who look after her very well, she's very keen on the food, stating the chef is great! She loves her cooked breakfast. Following the recent management change, I would have no hesitation recommending this care home to anyone. Thank you to the new manager and the team.

My two elderly aunts resided at Royal Court from January 2020. The care was excellent, even when covid hit in March I still saw them through closed windows but this reassured me that they were happy and well cared for. The pandemic hit everyone hard and more so the elderly in care homes. We understood
the safety of staff and residents was the priority. I totally appreciated the decisions made. I know the home is currently under new ownership and in the process of refurbishment and I know the home and staff make it possible for video calls to the residents. The care has always been outstanding all residents are offered the chance to join in at cards, domino's and looking at old family photos. All staff are dedicated to their work and it shows. I wouldn't hesitate at my decision, if I had to make it again I would choose Royal Court.

This care home over the COVID period has been extremely unhelpful and unprofessional. At the start, there were limited visits through open windows which is completely adequate due to the circumstances, however a pod to see residents was promised 6 months ago and has never been delivered. Now visits
have been completely stopped even through an open window and we the family have no way to contact our relatives at all for the next 3 months, there is no Facetime or Skype call options and this is against the government guidelines for a care facility and in my opinion, is frankly immoral to rob family's of any precious time they could share with older relatives especially given the circumstances. The staff have been less than helpful and in some cases extremely difficult and not understanding about issues we raised, please do not send your relatives here as their CGC rating suggests they are completely inadequate at their jobs.

Reply from Lynn Fearn, Managing Director at Royal Court Care Home

We are sorry that your experience of the service has not met your expectations.
To ensure that we keep our residents and staff safe we have taken steps to reduce footfall into Royal Court. We appreciate that the restrictions on visiting are frustrating, they are, however, a vital part of our infection control strategy.
Following a recent visit by CQC, in her feedback, the Inspector said that the home was clean, staff were wearing PPE in line with government guidance, feedback from relatives was very positive and that staff support people to keep in touch with family and friends through video and phone calls and closed window visits and via social media.
The team continue to work tirelessly to ensure our residents and their families are fully supported at this time. We look forward to the time when it will be safe to remove current visiting restrictions.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (9.030)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (9.030) out of 10 for Royal Court Care Home 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.030 for Royal Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (87 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (23 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 164 Ratings = 4.03

  • 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 Royal Court Care Home is based on 11 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
