My mother was a resident in Hastings Court for three years. The accommodation and facilities are first class with a coffee bar and cinema. Daily activities including films and games and entertainment are organised daily and advertised in local new sheets. Staff are excellent, properly trained and ever
helpful. When my mother was dying she had constant attention, holding her hand and comforting her - absolutely excellent treatment.

I have found all of the staff friendly, compassionate, professional and responsive to my father and to my requests when visiting or calling in to enquire about my father's condition.
The facility is clean, comfortable and welcoming, with numerous activities for the residents.

Hastings Court provided the most excellent end of life care for my mother. All members of staff were extremely helpful, pleasant and obliging. The nursing and care levels were very high. I don't think my mother could have come to a better place. It is comfortable and homely, yet feels like a hotel.
Thank you so much for providing such a beautiful "package" for people who are unwell.

The transformation to move mum from her previous nursing home was seamless - everything was well organised.
Staff are very welcoming and most importantly, they listen to my sister and I. Our mum is too poorly to be able to access all the facilities but other residents seem to be enjoying themselves.

The first time I entered Hastings Court to visit my aunt, I could see the level of care and commitment of all staff.
Nothing is too much trouble, for my aunt or us as visitors.
Its always clean and tidy, the corridors add to the homely feel with pictures and furnishings.
Well done to all the staff
who work so hard, even to the point of giving me hugs when it's been emotional.
You are all amazing.

My husband came for 2 weeks respite care on the dementia floor named "Sunflower".
He settled in quickly and seemed very happy and relaxed when we visited. The staff were very caring, kind and fun. The food was very nice, good choices, varied menu and snacks whenever you required. We particularly like
the free movement within the home to various lounges, cafe, garden, cinema with many activities provided. The home was very clean.

My experience of care homes is very limited but from the very first day, my mum came to Hastings Court care home I have been able to relax knowing that she was in good hands, in fact, I thought her days were numbered but the staff pulled her through and now she seems quite well and content. I am very
impressed by everything about the home. I just wish it didn't cost us so much.

With my mother having only moved into Hastings Court a couple of months ago, there have been some settling in issues that all the staff have met with great care and understanding.
We, as a family, are also made to feel welcome and supported.

My mother has severe dementia and has been a resident at Hastings Court since September 2015. She has received an excellent standard of care throughout most of her time at the home. The new management and staff team, under the leadership of the manager, has significantly improved the quality of care.
My mother currently receives an excellent standard of sensitive and supportive care at the home. Staff are extremely attentive to my mother's needs and always makes sure they do what they can to get her to participate in the things she can still enjoy.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Our mother came into Hastings Court for Respite care following hospitalisation. Her care over this period was wonderfully sensitive, she was reluctant to comply in all sorts of ways, but the staff gently encouraged her without once making her feel anxious or stressed. Which is what I think makes Hastings
Court special. Her wants and wishes are listened to and taken seriously.
She is no longer lonely and has made friends with other residents.
I’m a retired general nurse, district nurse and health visitor and can honestly say that I’ve seen quite a few nursing/care homes in my time and this is the best.

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.
