My mother was with you for a month’s respite after a stay in hospital. She was treated with great kindness by all the staff who went out of their way to make sure she felt secure and happy. Her room was clean and warm; the food was excellent and plentiful; if she did not like what was on offer, the
staff were quick to suggest an alternative. If she ever needed to ring for assistance, staff responded promptly even during the night. She was anxious about going into a care home but after her time in Station Court, she would be happy to go there again. Thank you to all the staff.

I thank all of the staff at Station Court, I think my mother-in-law is very happy now as she is always telling me when we come to visit her. The home is well cleaned and very tidy. My mother-in-law likes to help out with cleaning as this was one of her jobs when she was younger, the staff give her an
old uniform and she was over the moon with this. I cannot tell you all how pleased we are thank you.

It was really hard on the family, especially Dad when it became obvious Mam needed full-time care. Station Court is amazing and I could not wish for a better place for Mam. Every member of staff I've been in contact with has been lovely. Doesn't matter their age or gender, everyone is consistently pleasant
and happy to see you. I'm able to go into the home, after a lateral flow test, and take Mam out for a visit with Dad, the home and Mam's room is always clean and tidy. Mam always looks well too, smartly dressed and clean. Mam's appetite has picked up too, she hardly ate when she lived at home, now she loves her food. The menus look appetising and there's always plenty of choices and something is always on offer. It's a great comfort to us that Mam resides here.

I'm very impressed with the level of care and compassion given to my mum. Mum was accepted to the care home on discharge from the hospital, and mum's needs became quite complex and demanding. The staff and management at Station Court have been so supportive and give the extra mile to make sure all avenues
of care have been explored, whilst working with external agencies to achieve this. I can't praise them enough.

My grandmother is very settled in Station Court. The staff are fantastic. She really enjoys the food. Her room is not always cleaned very often, and there are delays with showers! The home is very Covid safe, and the security is safe!

My brother came into Station Court approximately 3 months ago after a fall. He really loved his own home but it came apparent that it was no longer safe for him. He has settled really well and says the staff are really caring. The food he says is delicious and really well cooked (he loves his food).
Plenty of activities to join in with so all in all a very good home for him. All the staff are very helpful.

My mother died in Barchester Station Court Care Home on 7.6.21. Up until then, we had been told she developed Covid in October 2020. Throughout the pandemic, staff were proactive in keeping us in contact by organising and supporting her in video calls and later in helping with window and bedroom visits.
Her carers warned us of her incipient decline and supported her, and us, continuously throughout. They formed a guard of honour as her funeral passed the home. She was a friend and a respected resident, and we were very grateful for the care she received.

Reply from Ray Robson, Manager at Barchester Station Court Care Home

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We welcome both residents and their families as part of our extended family at Station Court and strongly believe quality care is very important to meet all our resident's individual needs and delivering person-centred care.

My dad has been in the home since October. He has made friends with the residents which are great as he is a loaner. He loves the meals at the home as dad has a problem swelling it is a process. He loves the care he is getting and gets on really well. He is well looked after.

My mother was only in Station Court for a short period but from the moment she went in until the time she left, the staff and management were both accommodating and very helpful. They kept me informed with regards to my mother's condition on a daily basis and were very caring and compassionate. I'd
highly recommend this care home to anyone who is searching for a place for their loved ones.

My mam was a resident in Station Court Care Home for 2 years, she suffered from dementia. Although her time in care was a period of increasing frailty and dependence upon others to provide basic personal care and support, I was always comfortable and reassured by the compassion, emotional support, patience
and dignity shown to her. I always considered she was in good hands.

My mam has recently been very poorly she has been nursed back by the care and patience of the care home staff. Myself and her family were very well supported. My mam has been in Station Court for a number of years and I have always felt that she has been well looked after and safe. The manager is exceptional
- as are all the carers and staff.

I can thoroughly recommend this home. Mum was resident from February 2017 until she passed away on 10 April 2020. All staff were approachable, friendly, caring individuals who looked after mum as if she was their own. The home had a homely feel and kept clean and tidy and as well as caring for mum,
provided support to me too and made me feel very welcome. I send all the staff my best wishes for their futures. Thank you!

Today I received a postcard with a photo of my aunt on and with it a small heart on saying A little hug from me to you. It was a lovely surprise and to see her looking so well. I cannot praise the staff enough on how they have managed to keep the coronavirus out of the home. To know my aunt is safe
and well gives all her family peace of mind. She has only been there since January but the staff has helped her to settle in and the care she receives is amazing. Thank you.

The Manager at Station Court fosters a very open and compassionate culture within the home which he models to all members of his team. Consequently, the care and compassion shown to all who live in Station Court is excellent. Every member of staff is approachable, responsive to contact and shows awareness
of the best approach required for each individual resident. My 98-year-old father who has always been highly independent made his own decision to seek a residential home. We undertook a lot of research before he moved into the home. He has spontaneously said that he feels safe and well cared for, " I feel like a member of a family here at Station Court".
The excellent commitment at all times of the whole staff team is apparent for all to see, but within the very challenging context of Covid 19 it has proved to be superb.
We may not be able to visit at the moment but we have peace of mind that my father is safe and very much cared for by those who support his daily life. Excellent.

My mother has lived in Station Court Care Home for well over a year now. It was very difficult to hand over her care when she was no longer able to live at home. I looked at many homes, but I feel very sure that Station Court was the right choice for her. She has a very nice bedroom and bathroom, the
decor throughout the home is lovely, but more importantly, the care, consideration and respect she is given; is outstanding. She has dementia, and the carers and staff are professional, caring and knowledgeable. Trusting her care to Station Court has taken a great deal of stress away from me as I know my mother is safe and cared for in a very friendly and compassionate environment and I never believed I could be happy to leave her to be cared for by others.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.802)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.802) out of 10 for Barchester Station Court Care Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.802 for Barchester Station Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (167 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.802

  • 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 Barchester Station Court Care Home is based on 17 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 17 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.
