We (all my family and visitors) have been extremely impressed with every aspect of the care and life experiences given to my Aunt. I cannot say how grateful we have all been and for myself especially (no anxiety, worries, or concerns) I knew my Aunt was in the very best of hands. Thank you to you all.

My mother spent the final three and a half years of her life in the beautiful surroundings of Rush Court Nursing Home and I am very glad she did. She was looked after with loving care and dignity. The staff are all amazingly kind and thoughtful and became like a family to her. A huge thank you to everyone
from the bottom of my heart.

I was recently a resident at Rush Court. The manager came to the hospital to assess me and the whole process to admission was smooth. The room was well furnished, they even put a bird table outside my window. All the staff were caring and respectful and well-led and trained to a high standard. The manager
and her team ensured that everything was in place for my return home. I would have no hesitation in returning if ever I needed care. You could really feel that the staff cared for your every need.

I decided to spend a fortnight at Rush Court to recuperate after three sessions in hospital and three doses of chemotherapy. I wanted a buffer between hospital and home where I could be free of noise and disturbance and with a caring, helpful staff. Rush Court has been a boon for me, providing a peaceful,
well-heated, comfortable environment and I have been recovering fast in this sheltered environment.

My mother was recently at Rush Court for respite. The manager was responsive and professional and led an excellent team of care staff, administration and reception. All the staff were attentive, kind and caring, a very relaxing atmosphere, very homely, nothing was too much trouble. We will certainly
use Rush Court again if we need respite or long term care. Thank you.

My nana was at Rush Court in the last couple of months of her life. She needed nursing care. The staff, facilities, atmosphere and standard of care were excellent, meaning my nana could have a comfortable and peaceful final time in her life, which was with dignity and affection. This also helped me
as I had complete trust in the care she was receiving.

I was in the nursing section, my room was excellent, well-appointed, clean a comfortable bed and recliner chair. There was a cloakroom attached. There were plenty of cupboards and a wardrobe. There was a door to the garden and view of bird feeders which were replenished every day. The gardens were delightful
excellent paths and plants. The staff were always efficient helpful and smiling.
The menus were good. The staff made every effort to involve the resident in the activities. I benefited from my stay.

My aunt was happy at Rush Court. She enjoyed the food and was happy with the staff. She enjoyed the food. I thought the additional cost for pedicures, manicures, toiletries and physiotherapy sessions were rather expensive bearing in mind the cost of the 'home'.

My mother received excellent care here in the last three months of her life. The staff were extremely caring and patient and also looked after us as a family very well at the end of my mother's life. The home was welcoming and the gardens beautiful and well kept. There were always interesting activities

I cannot speak highly enough of the wonderful care my mother received during the six months she was at Ruch Court. She was treated with kindness, understanding and dignity. I too was treated with such kindness, understanding and sensitivity. All the staff helped and supported me so much through the
final few weeks and days of my mother's life. It meant everything to me and I cannot thank them enough.

Sensitive care with dignity and compassion. High-quality professional approach from all the staff, carers, nursing and ancillary. Time was always found to ensure my father could do things as he wanted. The beautiful setting and grounds were an added bonus at this wonderful nursing home and I am so
pleased that we chose Rush Court.

After a stay in hospital, my aunt was diagnosed with advanced cancer, the prognosis was poor which necessitated palliative care through to the end of life.
The manager of the home struck a rapport with her during the assessment and this lasted through to the end due to their regular chats. My aunt
could be very strong-willed but also a little unworldly not an easy combination. We were very pleased with the treatment she received whilst in your care and were happy in the knowledge that she was as comfortable as possible during the later stages.
The communication with us was good despite the distance (emails, phone). We would recommend you to others and in fact, we have already done so.

From the first warm greeting at reception and well-maintained premises as well as a friendly atmosphere we knew we'd chosen the ideal home for dad from our first viewing. He settled in very quickly and all the staff from cleaners to management treated him with the utmost respect. Although he didn't
participate in activities there was plenty on offer. The public rooms and grounds are beautiful. The catering team provided an outstanding buffet for dads 95th Birthday party. All the staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble his last year was a very happy one.

A sensational care home. From top to bottom, the Manager runs an incredible home. Her senior staff down to the youngest care giver are the best. So kind and loving.


They all do their jobs with a great sense of humor, in what must be a very stressful environment. The senior nurse is a sensational

asset.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.605)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.605) out of 10 for Rush Court 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.605 for Rush Court is calculated as follows: ( (186 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 271 Ratings = 4.605

  • 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 Rush Court is based on 22 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 22 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.

Clifford Hutchings

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2022

I have worked in Adult Social Care since the mid-1980s, starting out as Volunteer, and working my way up into Management in the early 1990s.


During my career, I have worked both within the Public & Private sector, managing services ranging from small group homes for young adults with a physical and/or learning disability to large Nursing & Residential Homes. Whilst my background is not in nursing, I have developed extensive knowledge & understanding of the clinical aspects of care.


I am passionate about supporting older people and providing the highest standards of care that are truly person-centred. I believe to achieve this comes from engaging individuals whose personal value base is aligned with that my own and the ethos of EFHL. I am committed to supporting my colleagues to develop themselves both personally & professionally through coaching, mentoring & training, and empowering them to be their best.
