I feel the attention to care is very good, any needs are addressed quickly. The staff are friendly, caring and always busy and nothing is too much trouble for them. The daily activities are organised and varied, run by a wonderful caring person who gives her all to assist the residents and make their
lives more enjoyable. She is a credit to the care home.

I have been very impressed with the care, compassion and friendliness of this care home. All the staff have been amazing when we have asked for anything and are always happy to oblige. The activities are well organised and the member of staff running it has so much compassion, empathy and thought for
the residents and goes over and above to make them feel special and included and will endeavour to help them with any needs they have, this person is an amazing part of the team.

The home initially appears impressive, with clean, tidy, bedrooms and a wide range of food options, however, my main concern is the lack of staff. While most staff are friendly and helpful, there was no one available to service the front door to let visitors in. My brother stayed at Queens Court for
7 months until he died, he was kept clean but staff never shaved and we had to ask staff to brush his teeth and address his dry flaky skin. Despite raising these issues nothing was done. I found management insensitive to my brother's needs. We were shocked when the manager questioned the value of his external medical appointments stating "What is the point of all these appointments? He is dying anyway." Can staff be mindful to dress residents to accommodate extremely cold weather.

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

Thank you for your review and we are sorry that you didn't feel your loved one received the right care and attention. I will feedback your concerns to the whole team as we are totally committed to delivering the highest standards of care and support to all our residents. I am sorry that access to the home wasn't as it should be as we do have a receptionist who is present during the day to welcome all our visitors to the home. If you did want to discuss your concerns with me directly then I would be happy to call you or arrange a video call. Apologise once again.

My review will focus on the recent annual BBQ and fete held on the 20th of July 2024. As usual, staff and volunteers 'pulled out all the stops' to provide a relaxed, convivial afternoon for residents, family members and friends. The garden was transformed with bunting fluttering in the breeze, various
stalls for residents to visit and a delicious BBQ lunch. A high point of the afternoon was the arrival of the petting zoo. The antics of the animals - piglets, sheep, goats and rabbits - provided much delight and happiness. All in all, this was an afternoon filled with laughter and joy.

Reply from Alice, Customer Relations Team at Queens Court Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review of our BBQ and fete. We are thrilled to hear that the event was a success and that everyone enjoyed the afternoon.

I attended the Namaste Day and had a wonderful manicure. I'd never been into the therapy room, what a fantastic room. Very peaceful and relaxing. The beautician was exceptional. I was guided by her with what treatment she wanted to do and extremely pleased. The residents are very lucky to receive regular
treatments in such a beautiful room. When can I come again! Definitely need more days like this please.

Reply from Sia Lebbie, Reviews Team at Queens Court Care Home

Dear Louise, Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed Namaste Day.

One member of staff made the Mother’s Day celebration really special. I just don’t know how she does it. The singer was great, cakes, sandwiches and a summer cocktail to top it off was amazing. Mum had a great time as did we. Some very happy memories for us. Thank you to the team and all involved.

I just wanted to express my gratitude and to give praise to all the staff and carers at the Queens Court Care Home. Also to add how impressed I am with the level of care and respect my Mum receives at the facility. I live overseas in Australia but was fortunate enough to get back in December of last
year and spend a number of weeks with Mum at the home. I was absolutely humbled by the dedication and enthusiasm of the staff in making Mum as happy and comfortable as she possibly could be. Particular thanks go to the entertainment team who also facilitate all my video calls with her when I'm back in Australia. It gives me great comfort when being so far away in the knowledge that Mum is being looked after by such a dedicated and professional team. Thank you!

Reply from Sia Lebbie, Reviews Team at Queens Court Care Home

Dear Mark, thank you so much for taking the time to share your heartfelt appreciation. We're truly touched by your kind words and are delighted to hear about your positive experience with our team at Queens. It's wonderful to know that our entertainment team has been instrumental in facilitating your video calls with your mum, bridging the distance and providing you with peace of mind while you're in Australia. Your mum's well-being is at the heart of everything we do and we're grateful for the opportunity to support both of you.

Overall the home was better than I was expecting. It looked bright and well cared for. The staff were very friendly and caring.
On the negative side, there was an almost constant noise of beepers going off and the home was too hot (everyone in t-shirts) and airless. It would be great to have some exercise
class opportunities for walks outside.

Reply from Diana Moraru'Manole, Regional Operations Manager Essex at Queens Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, your feedback on Queens Court Care Home is highly appreciated. We are pleased to know that our nursing and caring team have been welcoming and caring. Our home has a dedicated lifestyle team, who organises weekly chair-based exercise classes and Motitech bike classes, which every resident is welcome to attend. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the nurse bell system; however, it is an imperative communication tool for our residents to seek support. Once again, thank you for your review, your feedback is important to us and has been passed on to the team.

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.
