I have been visiting Hastings Court for some time now and the care and attention given to all their residents are exemplary. Every member of staff is cheerful and no request appears to be too much trouble and is delivered with a smile.
On entering the home I have always been greeted warmly and feel
my friends are in the best place to be looked after.
Many thanks.

This is a truly outstanding home. Having dealt with two other care homes and also an in home care firm previously, Hastings Court knocks socks off them. It is very clear that they are there to provide what they advertise, unlike previous people we have dealt with and that is priceless. We have two family
friends as residents and the peace of mind is immense. We know that they are getting all the care they need and the staff could not be nicer. They go above and beyond. I cannot recommend Hastings Court highly enough. If you want your loved ones to be given the care and attention they deserve then look no further.

We are delighted with the care at Hastings Court. The staff are all cheerful, friendly, positive and very helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. My mother recently celebrated her 98th birthday and we had a small family tea party. We had exclusive use of the entertainment room for this. It was beautifully
prepared with cloths, place settings, flowers, balloons, and full afternoon tea. There was a cake with mum's name on it and we could stay as long as we liked! Thanks especially to three members of the team for this. Mum has improved since coming here.

My mother was made welcome from the moment she arrived. Whilst her health was deteriorating rapidly, the staff made every effort to keep her comfortable. Although her stay at Hastings Court was only a short one. I cannot fault the care and attention of the staff, right up to her passing.

Hastings Court offered wonderful care to Gran for the last seven years of her life. Living with dementia, her memory was limited but she still wanted to have a purpose in life. She was supported to play her role in the home, often helping to serve refreshments, folding towels and sporting her own 'trolley
dolly' badge in recognition of her stints on the sweet trolley! Gran lived a great life at Hastings Court, making friends and being actively involved in all the many social activities. She felt safe, valued and loved.
In her final days, the wonderful staff supported us as her family as much as they did Gran, showing care and ensuring she lived those final days with dignity. The care extended from staff in the hospitality and facilities teams, as much as it did from care and nursing staff. Thank you so much.

If only my uncle had come to live here earlier his life would have been so much better. I can't believe a care home can be so beautiful with fabulous, thoughtful, kind staff. It feels like a family to him and myself.
No worries knowing she is so happy and safe. Thank you Hastings Court and all the
staff.

We are very pleased our friend has chosen Hastings Court which my wife and I recommended to her. We had a good experience of Hastings Court from 2015 to 2017 when my wife's sister stayed there. And that is why we recommended the care home to her.

The staff at Hastings Court clearly all are valued and they have a real can-do team spirit. The way everyone helped my mum when she arrived was phenomenal and so appreciated by our family, they made her feel very special and the day went so well with everyone making her feel very welcome and loved.
Above and beyond is how I would describe the staff's care.

From the moment I first contacted Hastings Court everything about the experience of finding a care home for my mum was excellent.
The dementia floor staff are amazing with my mum. She is certainly in the best hands possible. I have no need to worry about her anymore. First class in every way!

you!

I'm thrilled to share my positive experience with Hastings Court Care Home. The level of love, kindness, and compassion they provide for my mother is truly exceptional. The staff's dedication is evident in every aspect of her care, creating a warm and supportive environment. The genuine concern for
residents' well-being is reflected in the attentive and compassionate approach they consistently maintain. Hastings Court Care Home has undoubtedly become a haven for my mother, and I'm grateful for the outstanding care she receives.

My mother and father-in-law have just moved into Hastings Court and they have been very happy with how they have been handled. All the staff are caring for both of them. They have been taken out for the day, which never happened in their previous home. I can’t praise the team highly enough. The entertainment
staff always get them together and include them in everything they can. Top marks from me.

Mum has been in 2 other care homes, Dad has been in 4. This is the best care home by far! I have been to many local care homes in a quest to find the best for my parents and I have now found it and am so happy with the care they are receiving. The staff are all so friendly, caring and helpful and all
work together as a team. There are so many lovely activities for them to join in and they are the happiest I’ve seen them in a very long time. Well done Hastings Court, keep up the good work!

My mother was a resident of Hastings Court. Our family highly recommends the care home. It was a wonderful experience for Mum to be given first-class care until she passed away. The staff are genuinely caring, respected Mum and showered here with physical and emotional care. The nursing care was exemplary.
The room was clean and well equipped and the entire home was first-class. We are grateful she ended her days in such a caring environment and thankful for the support we were given as her family.

My first visit to Hastings Court, though I'd heard good things about it, staff greeted my group with smiles and coffee/tea before our friend finished lunch. The whole place was so clean, spacious and with lots of helpful, friendly staff. The bedroom was very good. Our friend was rather 'down' as feeling
rather frightened and uncomfortable but enjoyed having company and we could sing, pray and chat together. The caregivers were all lovely and she couldn't be anywhere better it seems.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.961)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.961) out of 10 for Hastings Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.961 for Hastings Court is calculated as follows: ( (371 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 386 Ratings = 4.961

  • 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 Hastings Court is based on 33 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 33 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.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2015

My first job in the care sector started 30 years ago and despite exploring other career choices I have always returned to doing what I love the most. I have been part of the Hastings Court family since 2015 and I feel extremely proud to be a member of the management team in such a fabulous home.


I feel incredibly passionate about our residents receiving the best possible care during their time with us and all of our team members go above and beyond every day to ensure that this happens.


Seeing our residents doing the things that they love is such a treat for us all, from days out fishing, trips to the theatre or just a walk around the Old Town browsing through the antique shops, it’s sometimes the little things that count the most.
