There is a lovely atmosphere in the home and it is kept spotlessly clean, the staff are caring and treat everyone with respect, there is a lovely big garden where I take my husband in his wheelchair. There are numerous activities to keep the residents entertained and stimulated and I would really recommend
Windmill Court.

Dad was only in the home for one week before he did.
The care he received from every single member of staff was faultless. They all showed great kindness, compassion, respect and dignity. The physical nursing care was excellent (as a retired nurse I looked for detail).
His death was peaceful and I
felt everything possible was done for him.
The home is clean, warm with a very positive feel.

My mum has been resident at Windmill Court now for 12 months. She is safe, secure and happy. She has made friends and takes part in most activities. Her quality of life has been improved immensely following the death of her husband, my father. Thank you all at Windmill Court.

Our mum has been extremely well looked after for the past three and a half years. The staff go beyond their duties to maintain high standards. The atmosphere is very friendly, we can visit at anytime.
We even enjoyed a birthday tea with close family to celebrate Mum's 80th birthday at this home.
What
a lovely place.

I can only praise the care given by the staff; both nursing and caring and also the housekeepers and caterers. They are certainly dedicated people; most courteous and willing.

The first time I have ever given top marks in every department. Standards throughout every facet of Windmill Court are exceptionally high. In sporting language, this is a crew with stars in every position. A visitor of mine observed "What a lovely atmosphere... and such happy staff". Another friend
said, "You can tell the quality of a hotel as soon as you walk through the door". That is so true here! My friend was a real gentleman, the top hotel guide in the UK.

My mother spent the last few months of her life at Windmill Court care home. Whilst there she received nothing but kindness and love. The staff went to great lengths to care for her, nothing was too much trouble. The home was always clean and immaculate and the food was excellent. A faultless experience.

Our mother has been here for 10 weeks. Quality of care at Windmill Court is mostly excellent. The home is filled with good staff who strive to provide the best care they can. The atmosphere is friendly with open visiting hours. The food is excellent. Friends and relatives can eat with residents in the
pleasant dining area for a nominal charge. Surroundings are pleasant, the rooms adequate, and the home is kept clean ventilated and odour free. It is encouraging to see staff actively working to make improvements, and open to suggestions. They have recently been making efforts to improve socialising of residents, and activities. Management is supportive to staff and easily accessible to relatives. A regular meeting lets residents and relatives raise issues directly with the manager. Small specific requests regarding our mother’s care have been attended to promptly. Medications are well managed, as is laundry. The staff treat residents, and relatives, with dignity and compassion.

My mother received end of life care. She was able to die with dignity and was shown great kindness and care.
We were able to visit at any time and were with her at the end.

My dear friend (90+ years old) received excellent 'end of life' care in a quiet room, looking out at the garden and birds with her favourite music in the background.

My dad was only in the home for 7 weeks after spending 2 1/2 months in the hospital. The care and love he received was above and beyond. He was kept clean and smartly dressed all the time, which was very important to him. At the end of his life, although unable to communicate, these standards continued!
His pain management and attention he had was wonderful to see. The care and love also extended to me during his time there. I can not thank them enough - you have a brilliant team here.

My Father entered the care home for palliative care approaching the end of his life, and I cannot thank the sheer commitment of the nursing team enough to follow through his personal needs. My father's condition meant hospital visits three times a week for dialysis care and the team ensured that he
received the treatment according to his wishes to prolong his life until he was ready to pass. I will always remember the compassionate care that he received until the end and words cannot express my gratitude.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.503)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.503) out of 10 for Windmill Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.2 out of 5 from 5 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 4.268 for Windmill Court is calculated as follows: ( (42 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 71 Ratings = 4.268

  • 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 4.235 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Windmill Court is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.8 = 0.735

  • 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.
