I am very pleased with the nursing care person provided by Catherine Court. My brother has been at Catherine Court since April and the family is very pleased with the care and consideration given by the staff. My brother was in and out of hospital but since he has been at the care home he has not had
as many infections. He has gained weight and looks much better in himself.

The most difficult decision in your life is to realise it is time to find a placement in a care home for your loved one. My husband has had Alzheimer's for eight years, I was recommended to Catherine Court by two friends and I am forever grateful. The manager and deputy manager were wonderful to me
through my darkest time. They are very professional, caring, and supportive to both clients and families. The carers are so giving with their knowledge, kindness and patience with their clients and are treated like family. The nurses provide you with full confidence in caring for your loved one. Catherine Court is spotless, cleaned every day and more so if required. The meals provided are healthy and nourishing and no shortage. The building and gardens are beautifully maintained. One could not ask for more when releasing your loved one to the care of others. My husband requires one-to-one care so is quite demanding but I know he is in safe caring hands.

My wife has been a resident at this nursing home since 2013. She has advanced Alzheimer's disease and has been bedridden and unable to communicate for several years.
The care she is receiving is excellent. She is provided with an air mattress, her skin has remained intact and she has never had bedsores
which is a credit to the home.
She is now on a pureed diet and on her recent birthday the home was kind enough to make her an individual pureed birthday cake as well as a large cake for all the other residents in the dementia unit to share. It is far from clear that she understands what is happening but the carers and nursing staff are very attentive to her needs and keep me informed of any health issues she may have straight away.

My 99-year-old father-in-law's 24-hour dementia care needs have been provided by a dedicated group of staff since November 2023 in Windsor Unit. We had an option of respite care but following a guided tour of the unit and an assessment of his needs during a home visit by the deputy manager, my wife
and I concluded that her father's health and social care needs will be best met in a 24-hour residential setting rather than in his own home, even with 4 or 5 daily calls from domiciliary care staff. We have actively monitored his personalised care through regular telephone contacts and during regular weekly visit with our West Highland Terrier, who has been 'adopted' as a therapy dog by the residents. We have also been actively involved in a very detailed review of his care plan. Based on our experience so far, we feel confident that Windsor Unit will continue to be able to meet his future needs. All the staff on the unit, the manager and the deputy manager are very open and welcoming.

My husband moved into the care home for nursing care. I am really happy with the care he is provided. The home manager has supported myself to enable my husband to have his own recliner chair, which allows my husband a better quality of life. Food is lovely. All the staff are friendly and welcoming.

I was a resident from December 2022 until February 2023 my care was first class. They always asked my opinion on any treatment I needed. I was recovering from a broken ankle injury. If I needed anything either physical or if I was upset there was always someone to listen or help, and medication was
explained. I had physios come in they were very gentle, while being supportive, while helping me to improve. The rooms were kept very clean with cleaners coming in several times a day and any maintenance was always done promptly.

My aunt has been living at Catherine Court Nursing Home for five years. She lives with dementia. Dementia is a cruel disease and I have watched the stages take their toll over many years which has been a distressing and worrying long period of time.
In the last year or so, my aunt's condition has
deteriorated significantly. Staff at Catherine Court have been compassionate, kind and understanding. The nurses have listened to my concerns and acted accordingly. The care manager has given me time when I have needed it to discuss care plans and helped managed my expectations for the future. She has spent time with my aunt herself, providing me with reassuring updates when my working hours have prevented me from visiting as often as I would like.
I feel a genuine warmth from all the staff at the home. They work hard and care deeply about the people they look after. It has made a terrible situation more bearable and I sleep better at night knowing my aunt is in the best possible place.

When my cousin arrived at Catherine Court, she has just experienced a very traumatic period in her life - a fall causing a broken leg, two stays in hospital, catching Covid during this period when visiting was not possible and developing a very bad bedsore. However, on arrival at Catherine Court, she
received excellent care, and her bedsore was eventually healed with a lot of care and monitoring. I have been kept very well informed of her treatment and situation, and she has now settled in well. The staff have been very friendly and helpful. There is a small secluded garden - very pleasant to sit with my cousin in summer and some entertainment put on for residents to take part in if they wish.

My mother has been a resident at Catherine Court Care Home for over a year. In my experience, the home is well run and professionally managed. All the staff are friendly and helpful and dedicated to the residents' well-being. The staff took great care to make my mother welcome in the home, not just
looking after her basic needs but bringing happiness into her life with some of the fun activities (I know this because I have seen the videos!)
Recently my mother's health deteriorated and her care needs increased. The staff responded extremely well and I was genuinely moved to witness the care and empathy in the way they carried out their work.
My family and I are very happy with the care my mother has received.

The staff at Catherine Court represent all good aspects of multi-culturalism and spending a couple of hours there, is an example of tolerance for the aged. The staff have first-class teamwork. The excursions, which will increase as Covid-19 becomes under control, are the highlight for my Mother since
the residents around her seem to be uncommunicative. A negative aspect of the home is that there is no garden, such a shame. However one can’t have it all!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.893)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.893) out of 10 for Catherine 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.976 for Catherine Court is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.976

  • 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 4.917 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Catherine Court is based on 11 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.917

  • 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.

Corina Andreescu

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2024

I have been working in the healthcare sector for over 20 years in the UK.


I have a nursing background in my home country, and I worked as a dental nurse and in leadership positions in dentistry for 15 years. Since 2018, I have worked in the care sector as a registered manager of residential and nursing homes. I decided to work for Care UK because it is an established care provider with a very good reputation that takes pride in its values and vision.


I have been a registered manager with the Care Quality Commission since 2010, and I am currently studying to obtain my BA (Hons) degree in Business and Management.


In a Home Manger role, a person should be very kind, caring, patient and nurturing towards all residents and colleagues. When I’m able to inspire others and reflect my kindness through everything I do, I feel proud of my role at Catherine Court.


My favourite part of the day is spending time interacting with the residents. I even participate in some of their daily activities and help the team whenever I can.


I have had many achievements throughout my career that I am proud of, however the highlight was when I managed to turn around a care home from being closed by CQC (rated Inadequate overall) to Good, in just six months.


When I’m not working, I absolutely love spending time with my cat, Alfie. I also like photography, reading, painting and travelling, and I have a keen interest in holistic therapies and spirituality.
