I have been visiting a close friend for nearly three years now. Sadly, she has recently passed away and if it had to be, I couldn't have wished for a better place in which she should spend her final days. Throughout her time there, she was treated with respect, care and love and helped to cope with
her gradual decline into the nightmare of dementia. Friends and family were treated, always, with warmth and security and made to feel a part of the wonderful world of Queen's Court.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

You have been a regular visitor to your friend. We looked forward to your visits because you had a long friendship with her. These visits were precious to her and without fail you were a familiar part of her life in the time she was at Queens Court. Thank you for your kind comments, which I will share with the team. I hope that we will continue to see you here.

I am extremely happy to have my mother residing at Barchester Queens Court. The decision was made after witnessing their loving and compassionate care during her respite stay. I am always greeted by the warm and friendly staff and this continues throughout the attention to Mum’s care, comfort, and wellbeing.
It’s always reassuring and wonderful to see Mum participating in the numerous activities and socialising happily. The environment is extremely clean, comfortable, and well maintained. It is always a pleasure to visit Mum and leave knowing she’s at ‘home’. I am extremely happy and confident that Mum receives exceptional care at all times from the wonderful and caring team at Queens Court.

My mother who is 99, has led a fully independent life, cooking each day and brilliantly caring for herself. Sadly, having a fall has completely changed her whole situation. Queens Court staff have shown great patience in settling Mum in. All staff, whatever their employment is an absolute credit to
the home. They are all wonderful and a delight to know.

Review from Alison G (Respite Resident) published on 22 November 2022

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I came to Queens Court Care Home post-operatively, in great pain and with limited mobility. The staff were patient, caring and attentive as I could not get in or out of bed unaided, which meant they had to attend several times through the night. Most of all I noticed how they dealt with the old and
most infirm with cheerfulness and what seemed to me, genuine love and compassion. I concluded that many care workers must have a genuine calling to this type of work. A good range of activities was provided and staff made great efforts to encourage all to attend. Food was excellent and beautifully served both in the dining room and individual rooms. I would have no hesitation in recommending Queens Court Care Home as a place for much-loved elderly relatives.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, General Manager at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

Dear Alison,
It is so kind of you to write this very positive review. It was difficult to manage a straightforward recovery when you had so much pain, but we worked together, and you went home within your planned time. Well done to you too. Thank you for mentioning the night staff as well as the day staff. Your comments are most appreciated.

From the first visit until my husband's return home, I was impressed with the professionalism and caring attitude of all staff towards my husband, but also towards the whole family. Queens Court Care Home staff, in their entirety, made a difficult separation as easy as possible and gave us all peace
of mind in the knowledge that he was well cared for. I am forever grateful and would not hesitate to use the home again, and also highly recommend it to others.

This was such a hard thing to do, putting my mother-in-law into respite for 3 weeks so we could go on a much-needed holiday. We were told of Barchester Queens Court Care Home and decided to have a look. We were very impressed with what we saw so we decided this was the place. While we were away, our
daughter and mum visited and were very happy with the care that was being given, also while on holiday we were sent updates on my mother-in-law.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Barchester Queens Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 67 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 67 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 4.929 for Barchester Queens Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (719 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 771 Ratings = 4.929

  • 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 Queens Court Care Home is based on 67 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 67 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.

I am Tisha Patel. I am an Activities Assistant.


I love being a part of the Activities Team so that I can make some contribution to making resident's life and daily living better by giving them Namaste Therapy because of my interest in making residents happy.


My role is to give the therapy to the residents. The therapy involves welcoming them, hand massage, head massage, relaxation exercise, breathing exercise, nail care, hydration, sense of touch, sense of flavour, reminiscence, and relaxing in the therapy room with diffusor on with the relaxing essential oils.
