My Aunty was a resident of North Court. She was reluctant to go to any home and I was anxious. I can honestly say that I can’t praise North Court enough from the time she first stepped in she was made to feel at home and so were we. The care she received there was excellent and couldn’t be faltered
in any way. Every member of staff was always polite and acknowledged us and we could visit whenever we wanted. The activity coordinators were excellent and again included us. I also noticed that on occasions such as Xmas the staff all went above and beyond to make it very special for all the residents, the home was decorated beautifully. I have since recommended this home to people who have asked me about and I seriously couldn’t have received any better care for my Aunty it was outstanding and I can say with confidence I highly recommend the home.

My aunt came to North Court Care Home for end-of-life care which was given with compassion and kindness. Medical support from the local surgery was good and communication from the nursing staff was excellent. My aunt died peacefully and we were very grateful that she did not die in hospital where she
had been for five weeks previously. I'm not sure how we would have felt should she have recovered and gone on to live in the home as the environment is very dated and in need of modernisation. I cannot comment on the facilities and activities as she was bed bound.

My mother has been a resident for two months now. It has taken her a while to settle in. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The only concern I have is that the food is not very appetising. After having a meal there myself, I agree. Surely, when catering for the older generation an attractive meal
would be beneficial.

My main reason for completing this review is to express my growing concern over the staffing levels of employed carers. There seems to be more and more Agency staff who often speak very poor English and often don't seem to have a clue as to what is expected. Also, the food is not always up to standard
and is very poor.

Reply from Katie Barnett, Marketing Executive at North Court Care Home

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We would like to assure you that any team members caring for our residents have a thorough induction to be familiar with our policies and procedures. We are sorry you feel that the food provided by our home has not met with your expectations. We carried out an unannounced inspection following your feedback and found our varied menu on offer with tasty food available. On the day, our inspector tasted our menu, which included a well-seasoned Spaghetti Bolognese, Quorn Bolognese, and fish and chips. There were plenty of options for desert such as homemade chocolate pudding and ice cream. Our menus are created with feedback from residents, reflecting their likes and dislikes and residents have a food passport to capture this. If our menu is not to our resident's liking we encourage them to talk to our team so that we can note it on their food passport. If you would like to further discuss your concerns, please pop in to see the Home Manager. Thank you.

I took my husband for a week's respite so I could have an operation on my knee. He sat in a room, and no one came and asked if he was ok. No remote for the T.V, no jug of water left so he could have a drink, no food until I said I was going to the shop down the road to get him a sandwich. No drink until
4 pm when I collected him and took him home. The home should be closed down. I wouldn't leave my dog there.

Reply from Katie Barnett, Marketing Administrator at North Court Care Home

This year has been difficult but I have found the staff very caring, in very difficult circumstances. They've kept Covid out of the home, by restricting their personal lives. This is a credit to them. It's always warm and friendly. The food is excellent there. Residents always clean and dressed well.
The laundry service is excellent. One doesn't wish for your loved one to go to a care home, and while I was reluctant at first, am quite satisfied.

Both of my parents have been residents at North Court and after difficult decisions were made North Court took over their care with professionalism kindness and the utmost respect at all times. This standard has been maintained over years. My mum sadly passed at North Court and the staff were amazing
and helped us as a family to cope with a very dark sad time. The medical and day-to-day care was done with genuine care and concern. The home is efficient and clean and has a happy atmosphere with nothing being too much trouble this includes all staff from housekeepers and cooks to office and kitchen staff, they all work as a team to make life happy and interesting for their residents and wrap their arms around the families.

My dad has the most excellent care, the carers and everyone who works there treat him extremely well; he has blossomed in their care.


We are extremely lucky to have him so well looked after; he feels safe and happy during this awful time, the carers have made sure that Dad has some sorts of contact

My mother had to move into North Court 18 months ago due to her husband becoming unwell, so initially for respite care. Unfortunately my stepfather never really recovered, and despite spending 3 months in North Court with my mother he passed away. My mother had no option to stay at North Court and there
lies my admiration for staff at North Court. My Mother has been involved in making choices, developing routines and lifestyle, making friends and accepting her life with utmost respect, time and effort from staff. Thank you. She is now happy.

Our darling mother went into North Court Bury St Eds on the 19th January after being in the hospital for nearly 5 weeks. She had a fall and fractured her hip on 18th December. She was in the home for 3 weeks, but sadly she died on 9th February.
The staff at the nursing home were just brilliant. They
were so caring and loving towards mum. She was so happy there!! She had a lovely sunny bright room.
Not only were the staff lovely to mum, they were there for my brother, me and the rest of my family, always asking if we wanted drinks and hugs when we were upset and letting us come and go, to suit the family needs.
As a family, we can't thank and praise North Court Bury St Edmunds enough.

Very welcoming, staff introduced themselves and then went to collect my mother. She arrived in the cafe, happy, well dressed and comfortable in her surroundings. The cafe was clean and well stocked with tea, coffee, sugar, milk etc. including cakes and cookies baked and decorated for 'children in need'.
The doors were security driven, so I felt no qualms about my mother's safety.

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.394)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.394) out of 10 for North Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 4.711 for North Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (39 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (2 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 45 Ratings = 4.711

  • 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 3.683 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for North Court Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375

    • 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.308

  • 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.
