On some days there seem to be a lot of agency staff who my mother is not familiar with. The regular staff are friendly and helpful, but when they are allocated to other departments my mother feels upset, it's nice for residents to see regular staff daily. The home is always clean and all the staff are
friendly too. The food is sometimes poor quality I.e cold hard toast but not all the time.

I have been visiting my friend regularly since his admission four weeks ago. I always found him clean and cared for and meals provided regularly and drinks. He seems to be content there and doesn't complain of any ill treatment.

This home has had problems but since new management team has come in timings have improved a lot. My mum looks well, clean. She eats quite well but the food could be better. The staff on her ward are great with her and others. I had no regrets putting Mum in this home, unsure when problems started but
again no regrets now.

I do find that all the staff I am in contact with were all very helpful and caring to both residents and relatives. I really feel very happy to have my husband in that home and would recommend it to everyone I love!

My sister and I have nothing but praise for the staff in the dementia unit, and the latest management team, and of course some of the other staff on the unit next to it that we have come to know. Even though mother's dementia is taking more of a hold on her she is still thriving in other ways and looks
very well thanks to their wonderful care. They are very understanding of her needs and her personality. We are always contacted by the staff regarding anything to do with her health or any other needs she may have.

My cousin was accepted by Queens Court after her house has a prohibition order place on it. The staff have been wonderful, helping her to settle in and advising us and listening to our worries and concerns regarding my relatives health and behaviour.
The family are so relieved that my relative is warm,
safe and out of her rodent infested house.
The day centre at Queens Court is a wonderful facility, providing entertainment activities and social contact.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.568)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.568) 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 58 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.568 for Queens Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (523 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (35 Satisfactorys x 3) + (18 Poors x 2) + (22 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 680 Ratings = 4.568

  • 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 51 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 51 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.
