My uncle had some family and friends together as a little reunion and we were treated to cakes, sandwiches, tea and wine etc. It was unexpected and the members of staff were exceptional and their kindness new no bounds. I recommend that the members of staff should immediately have their wages doubled.

Reply from Abigail Draper, Customer Relations Team at Queens Court Care Home

Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear that your uncle's reunion was such a special occasion and that you all felt so well looked after. It means the world to our team to know their kindness made a difference - we'll certainly pass on your kind words (and your suggestion about the wages, too!). Moments like these are what we're all about at Queens Court.

One staff member in particular always puts on the most amazing events and makes such effort with all residents and visitors.
Amazing afternoon tea, with dancers and a singer, never disappoints. She even gave all the mums a little Mother's Day treat

My mum was a resident up until February at Queens Court and my sister and family were always impressed with the care she received while there. Mum was always treated with dignity and was cared for by staff as though she were one of their own family. We are very grateful to everyone at Queens Court
and will miss them.

My mum was booked in to stay for a month's respite following hip replacement but we moved her home after a week. The staff are lovely people but woefully overstretched meaning call buzzers are ignored for more than half an hour - my mum resorted to telephoning the home then, when they answered, telling
them she was upstairs buzzing and could someone come! The rooms are basic and not cleaned well, my mum was in 8 days with only one bedding change on day 5 after we stepped in and requested it. I watched the cleaner check her bed table for crumbs and just wipe up the crumbs, leaving the rest of the table unwiped! The food is very poor and the main reason for moving. Even the staff don't know what they are serving (another observation and hearing conversation). The dining area/tea making area was closed for 3 days for refit without adequate temporary facilities, and with the dining tables still laid out among the dusty works. The overall atmosphere was one of chaos and disorganisation.

Reply from Daniela Caprioara, General Manager at Queens Court Care Home

Since Dad has been resident, he has improved so much. No longer so lonely as he was at home and much better medically, cognitively and emotionally. The whole atmosphere of Queens Couirt has helped with this. The friendly staff, professional care, good food, diligent attention both pro and reactive to
his needs is fantastic! The ambience, decoration and layout makes it a home from home and the amazing activities arranged for residents keep them engaged, happy and involved. Absolutely fantastic, I'm impressed and delighted with every aspect of Queens Court, it's staff and care. Thank you!

So happy to know my husband is being cared for 24/7, and his care here is tip-top. He is in an environment with company and the events manager does an excellent job to keep people's mental situation busy with many heartwarming events which boost their general wellbeing. The staff are excellent, friendly
and helpful and the balance of Queens Court seems just right. Well done.

My mother was 92 when she went to stay at Queens Court Care Home. She had dementia. The staff were always very kind and understanding and treated the residents with dignity. My mother enjoyed her experience there, forming a genuine bond with the carers for the 2 years she was there.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.576)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.576) out of 10 for Queens Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 68 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 61 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 4.576 for Queens Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (610 Excellents x 5) + (98 Goods x 4) + (49 Satisfactorys x 3) + (18 Poors x 2) + (22 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 797 Ratings = 4.576

  • 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 Queens Court Care Home is based on 61 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 61 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.
