My family and I would like to send our thanks and best wishes to the management and staff at Catherine Court Care Home. My father has Alzheimer's and his behaviour can be challenging at times but the staff deal with this admirably, showing empathy, patience and understanding. It is so reassuring to
know that his needs are being met and that he is safe.

Catherine Court Care Home is Mum’s second stay in a home following a prolonged stint in hospital. We have been really impressed by the improvement to Mum and must attribute at least some of this to the positive atmosphere at Catherine Court. The care workers are so friendly and incredibly helpful -
always ready with a smile and will find time to answer questions. They know Mum’s current medical position at all times and find time for games, all of which are both sociable and mentally engaging.
The family is impressed and pleased that Mum is in the right place.

The staff at Catherine Court Care Home are very caring.
My grandmother always looks clean, peaceful and happy. They remember to put her music on for her and her fan when required. The food always looks lovely and my grandmother seems to enjoy it. The staff always let us know of any concerns.
Thank

The care home is great, looks after my mum, does lots of activities, looks after and informs me if Mum has a fall or hurts herself. Staff are great, meaningful lifestyle and other staff, can't remember names, are great, take great care of Mum and me when I visit. Can't thank everyone enough for looking
after her and me.

The main performance was clearly the support, kindness and attention the patient needed. The care and cleanliness of the patient were impeccable. The question of food, especially the help to choose, but also help in feeding the patient. The management was good at all times.

My mother has been in your home for approximately the last six months has been very well cared for she is very happy with all the carers and all the other staff.
There seems to be fewer carers at times.

Reply from Samantha Debenham, Personal Assistant at Catherine Court

Thank you for taking the time to submit your review – we are very pleased to hear that you and your mother are so happy with the care and team at Catherine Court, and to see your good and excellent scores. In regards to the number of carers at the home, I would like to reassure you that we always make sure we have a high number of team members working at all times – of course, although you will see many of these colleagues with residents in communal lounge areas when you visit, there will also be colleagues helping residents in other places in the home, such as providing one-to-one care in rooms, assisting residents to take part in activities, or helping at mealtimes. Thank you again for your kind feedback, and please do let us know if you have any further comments, suggestions or questions and we’ll always be happy to help.

I am very impressed with Catherine Lodge, and in particular, the staff. They interact and engage with my mother in a genuinely caring way, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. The home is really well designed for those with dementia and has a lovely relaxed and welcoming feel. Much to my surprise
my mother has settled in very quickly and has even been getting involved in the regular activities. Catherine Court is obviously very well run and has lots of excellent and very well trained staff who really care.

This review covers a four-month period. Since both parents were admitted into a care home they have been very well looked after. The staff are extremely attentive and thoughtful, nothing is too much trouble. A couple of small teething issues with night staff but the management dealt with the problem
very quickly. This care home is very friendly and our parents feel safe. A lot of effort and attention is placed on the daily activities to help keep minds active and young. We assessed four care homes before deciding on Catherine Court due to its friendly emphasis by management, entertainment, nursing and care staff. They have proved our selection right.

My uncle (aged 98) was only in Catherine Court for the four weeks prior to his death.
The overwhelming impression from the preliminary visit that my wife and I made to Catherine Court, and all subsequent visits to see my uncle, is of a well run, caring and friendly environment. Staff in the general
living rooms were all engaged with the residents, and all had a large smile on their face when you approached them. My uncle had a pleasant, pain-free, comfortable stay at Catherine Court for the last four weeks of his life.

Catherine court is perfectly designed for Alzheimers’s, which my wife has. There is so much space for residents to be able to walk. Everybody from the receptionist to the cleaners

are kind to my wife.

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

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.
