It has obviously been a big decision as to where my mum should be placed and not having the experience in the selection process it seemed quite daunting similar to choosing a school for your children. However, I'm pleased to say I have no regrets. Instead, due to the excellent care, she receives and
the social programme on offer it has come as a relief to find out that it has been an excellent choice.

My Nan has been a resident at Zetland Court for several years with fairly serious dementia. The staff have always been fantastic - and nothing ever seems to be too much trouble for them. The building itself is always clean and well maintained and all of the residents seem to be exceptionally well cared
for. I can't recommend highly enough.

The carers I have seen one always polite and treat my grandparents with respect. They happily answer my questions and listen to my feedback. They do their best to meet any requests and are tolerant of residents frustrations. I feel they have got to know my grandparents well.

I have every respect for all members of staff, they are well trained and cheerfully help me with all my needs. There is plenty of entertainment and companionship with other residents. The food is good and they cater for my vegetarian requirements.

My mother-in-law has been in Zetland Court for over two years following a stroke. She is treated with care and dignity. She is no longer talks much but her face lights up when one of the staff come and talk to her.

Zetland Court displays total caring both for residents and family. Staff are all friendly, thoughtful and compassionate. Nothing appears too much trouble and one never feels that as a non-resident, you are being a nuisance.
The overall care for the resident cannot be bettered.

My husband is in the Red Admiral Wing and there are no words which can describe the excellent care which the residents receive. They are treated with respect, understanding and courtesy at all times. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff who are truly dedicated to those in their care. Relatives
are always greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. I couldn't wish for a better place for my husband. Thank you all.

My husband has been a resident for seven weeks and has always been treated with respect and patience by all staff. He is a weighty gentleman with very limited mobility, but this is not a problem it seems. We cannot fault anything and thank God that a vacancy occurred at a very difficult time for myself.

My grandad is in the very best place because the staff look after him with respect and really do care for him.
I have full confidence that the Red Admiral wing have his best interests at heart, which means a lot to me and my family.

Despite having to deal with an emotionally difficult situation (my grandad having dementia), the staff at Zetland Court have been truly amazing.
They have welcomed me and my family into the Zetland family with open arms. The care and service provided to my grandad and our family has been wonderful.
I couldn't ask for any better care for my grandad. Thank you Zetland.

He is treated with kindness, dignity, the caring is second to none, stimulation, food is great, trips out and are the same to me. Every need is taken care of. The manager and staff are very forward thinking and should

My 96-year-old mother has been a resident at Zetland Court for 8 months. She had been extremely happy from day one. The staff are all amazing - they are kind, understanding and are always smiling. Every member of staff know all the 70+ residents' names, whenever they pass them, they greet them with
a smile, a hold of the hand or an embrace. The surroundings inside and out are wonderful. There are at least two organised activities each day which they all seem to enjoy. I cannot fault this amazing, warm, caring home.

My mother has been at Zetland Court for over 18 months.
I have been very happy with the quality of the care, accommodation and the home itself. The carers are very friendly and helpful. The schedule of activities is excellent. My only issue is that the home could use some more staff to help those already
there. Otherwise, I would recommend this home wholeheartedly.

After giving full 24/7 support for my very sick partner, I thought he was getting the best. However, the loving, dignified care he is now receiving in the nursing/care home at Zetland Court is giving him a new quality of life for his final days with us.

My father in law is in the Red Admiral wing of the home which I must say is excellent. Let me explain my reasoning - they are kind, courteous and very professional in their attitude to their residents and family alike. Zetland Court Red Admiral wing is second to none in what they offer to give peace
of mind to our family.

The Red Admiral Wing of Zetland Court is outstanding, dealing with dementia is not easy but they are superb. They treat all the residents with dignity, they let them express themselves and never ignore or contradict them. It is a true home environment and they include families as well. Staff and residents
are always happy and there are always activities for them to join in with. I can't thank them enough for taking care of my dad.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Zetland Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.789 for Zetland Court is calculated as follows: ( (266 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 318 Ratings = 4.789

  • 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 Zetland Court is based on 26 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4, which has been reached with 26 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.

Sue Wiffen

Job Title: Deputy Home Manager (Dementia)

Joined: 2020

I lead by example and I’m very passionate about dementia care being centred on the person rather than the environment. I believe any person should be encouraged to lead their care with support.


I have been involved in dementia care for over 30 years. I joined RMBI Care Co. in 2020 as a Dementia Lead, and I continuously seek training and peer support to enhance the lives of those living with dementia.

I am an advocate for any person with dementia and extend this to our communities, where I carry out awareness sessions to promote outstanding dementia care.


My saying is a person first, dementia second.
