The care provided during my Mum's stay at Queens Court has been exceptional. The staff is patient, professional, and kind. The home is clean, bright, and spacious. It never feels miserable when I go there. It is in a great location for visitors and always welcoming. My Mum told me she was very happy
due to all the activities and day trips. The meals are varied and of high quality. During the lockdown, I never worried that she wasn't being properly cared for. I would definitely recommend this home.

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

Thank you very much for your kind comments. We know that you and your family always appreciate the hard work that the whole home put into the care, activities, trips and meals. We try to make it all special and your mother has always appreciated this.

I thank every single member of staff at Queens Court for the wonderful and loving care and support they gave my Mother-in-law during her whole time there, all the way until her last day and also for all the support they gave us.
A wonderful care home. A home from home. Thank you so much. We cherish
all our lovely memories with Mum and all of you there. Looking forward to the next summer tea party and barbecue in the garden. Amazing carers and manager who in my heart became friends. Thank you. All the very best to all of you. Lots of love from the whole family.

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

Thank you to you and your family for your heartfelt comments. You were all very close to your mother in law (mother, sister, grandmother) and must have lots of lovely memories. She was all things to all people, she noticed everything, had a great sense of humour and was very appreciative of all that was done for her. We miss her too and look forward to seeing you when we can.

I cannot recommend Queens Court highly enough. It is both professional and friendly with an overriding feeling of safety. The rooms are airy and fastidiously clean. The meals are of a very high standard and the residents are looked after extremely well. But the one thing that really stands out for me
is the kindness of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble for the residents and the visitors and I have enjoyed many delicious treats including a birthday cake. Thank you so much for looking after my aunt so well.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, Admin at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

Dear Charlotte
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Looking after your aunt was our pleasure and we remember how much she enjoyed the cake. Birthday parties and other activities help us to get to know more about the resident and their families which in turn help us to be person-centred. It is very nice to know that this is appreciated.

My mother lived at Queens Court from June 2019 - March 2020, where she died aged 88. She suffered from dementia and was effectively paralysed from the waist down. She was not always the easiest of people to deal with because of her losses of mental lucidity. Despite all this, the staff at Queens Court
could not have been more caring, understanding and patient with her, to which she did respond I was pleased to hear on many occasions. The atmosphere at Queens Court was always welcoming and friendly, her room spotless and airy, and the staff full of smiles and cheery conversation, as well as being factual and helpful if asked pertinent questions on my mother's condition. Guests were always given refreshment and nothing seemed too much trouble. I saw other care homes, and there was no question that Queens Court was head and shoulders way above many others. The manager and her whole team do an outstanding job and should be hugely congratulated in these very difficult times. Highly recommended.

Reply from Shaaron Caratella, Admin at Barchester Queens Court Care Home

Dear Nicholas, It is very nice of you to praise us. These are difficult times and we really appreciate you finding the time to write this. Your mother was a special lady who was affectionate and knew what she wanted. She was witty and had a good sense of humour. We miss her.

My aunt has been a resident for the last 3 and a half months. We have all been very happy with the level of care she has received. The staff have been very gentle and caring towards her. As a fluent Italian speaker, she has particularly enjoyed speaking to one person, who has made her feel very happy!
She is leaving to go home otherwise she would have remained at Queens Court. Thank you for your care and attention to detail.

The rooms were nice, kept clean, as were the washing facilities. The food was good and varied. For general, overall care I would recommend

My father has been extremely well looked after during his six weeks at Queens Court. He was very reluctant to go into a home, but the management and staff made him very welcome. The constant care and attention have actually improved his overall alertness during his stay. Whilst he is glad to be returning
home, he has enjoyed his time in Queens Court.

The staff at Queens Court Care Home made my mother's transition from home to care home effortless and seamless. They treated her with dignity and respect and afforded her space to settle. There was little fuss but genuine warmth. Always smiles welcomed me, the anxious daughter on every visit and both
my mother and I have experienced nothing but efficient kindliness.

My friend is a proud, independent individual who has found it very difficult to accept his increasing reliance on others.
The staff have recognised this and have consistently treated him with understanding and dignity.
He is also difficult to look after medically and the staff have been very good
at giving medication and allowing for his disabilities.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.928)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.928) 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 66 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 66 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 4.928 for Barchester Queens Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (707 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 759 Ratings = 4.928

  • 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 66 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 66 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.
