My mother has received outstanding care at Hastings Court Care Home. She was blind and completely bedridden for the whole of the 6 years she was a resident. I have been able to be with her every day for the last week of her life, all day. All her carers and every team member has supported her devotedly
and very kindly with great professionalism. I have also seen how every resident's needs are addressed individually and with great kindness.

We are extremely satisfied with the care that is given to Nan. She has settled so well and is happy. She really enjoys the activities and is part more and more. The staff have always made our family feel very welcome and are friendly. The activities provided are of an outstanding standard. I'm a little
bit jealous I don't live here! Thank you.

My mum was admitted for end of life care, and from the moment she arrived, she was very well looked after. Her room was always clean and tidy, and she loved the floor to ceiling windows as she would she the trees outside. The staff were very attentive at such a difficult time for her, and it was greatly
appreciated by myself and my wife. Thank you all.

My husband, who has the early stages of dementia and mobility problems, spent two weeks at Hastings Court allowing me to have a rest. The care he received was excellent. The staff were attentive, kind and caring. The food was of a very high standard. The whole feel of the place is like a lovely hotel.
He very much enjoyed his stay, we will certainly be using the facility again. To quote my husband on his return home, 'I had a lovely time, everyone was very nice. The food was good and I slept well.' What more could I ask. I know he can stay again and I can relax knowing he's having the very best care. I can't thank the staff enough.

I am extremely grateful to Hastings Court for taking such great care of my parents during their 2-week respite break. They were made to feel at home and were very well looked after. This made me feel at ease knowing they were happy and safe. I would like to thank them all for the care, entertainment,
great food, outings and communication throughout. I would highly recommend Hastings Court.

As I'm bed bound the care and personal levels of contact with others means I never feel lonely or forgotten. All the staff at all levels could not be more caring and willing - especially as I need high levels of attention day and night. I cannot speak too highly of them.

Lovely home with a great happy feel to it. Hotel level of service with lots of activities. Always heard very good feedback on the meals and the tasty snacks. A real community feel and always going that extra bit to make sure everyone is involved from the home's own newspaper to drinks and singalongs.
Would certainly recommend to anyone.

All staff have been excellent in the care provided and we have been made to feel very welcome and that nothing is a chore. A full entertainment package was always keeping my dad busy and involved in the home. Even in these difficult and changing times, we were kept up to date in the care and adventures
that Dad got up to. Dad could often be a bit of a moaner and he never had a bad thing to stay in his time at Hastings Court, which is the highest praise possible!

Initially, Mum went into Hastings Court for a short stay whilst she recovered from surgery. She then told me that she loved it so much she wanted to stay.
We didn't know what to expect from a care home but we didn't expect such a lively atmosphere. Everyone is caring and friendly. It's so good to see
Mum so happy and smiling again.

My gran stayed at Hastings Court on two different occasions, once after a fall and again a year later for end of life/palliative care. She absolutely loved Hasting Court, the environment, the atmosphere, and most of all the amazing dedicated staff. She loved joining the variety of activities, the lovely
food, and feeling at home with friends. Her end-of-life care was outstanding, being treated with dignity, love, and person-centered care by the dedicated staff who worked around the clock.

One of a series of one to one visits with my dad who is at Hastings Court temporarily whilst recovering after a fall. Meetings are short but well organised to cope with the current covid19 measures. He is happy at the care home, but looking forward to returning to his own home as soon as practicable.

My father has been cared for in the most compassionate, professional and loving way. He had his 99th birthday in May, and I was allowed to visit, he had so many cards and present and a wonderful cake. They facilitate video calls and constantly keep me updated with his health and well being.
I cannot

Hastings Court has provided an excellent level of care for my mother. The dedicated staff ensure that the best standards are met and often exceeded to ensure that she is kept happy, healthy and safe. I would recommend Hastings Court to anyone regardless of their needs, as they have suitably recognised
and adapted to the needs of my mother, whose progressive onset of dementia took hold over a period of time. I am glad that we chose Hastings Court in our search for a suitable setting for my mother, and I am grateful for the excellent service they provide.

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.

My job is so varied and that's what I love about it! I support not only the home in general with all aspects of home care, plumbing, décor etc but help residents and their families to personalise their rooms.
Lately, I have been very involved with the commissioning of a new Oakland care home, whilst my very capable assistant, George, looks after Hastings Court.
I count myself as being so lucky to work in an environment where we are all one big family.
