Our dad has been in Eckington Court since September and we have had a lovely experience, the staff are so friendly and caring and always makes us feel welcome when visiting. The food is home cooked every day and looks amazing. The management is lovely and approachable and they engage with all the residents
there. The care home is always clean and the cleaners do an excellent job.
Our dad loves been their and says the staff are his extended family.

Dad has been here over 4 years.
Care staff are polite, hard working and patient.
They are appropriately affectionate with residents and chat and engage with them.
Staff contact doctors if necessary and always update me if dad isn't well or has had a fall.
Dad enjoys the meals, which are usually
cooked from scratch. Buns, cakes and desserts are freshly made.
The activities coordinator works hard to put on a range of activities to entertain and stimulate residents.
The home encourage us to attend family meetings and welcome our suggestions.
Dad is grateful for the care he receives and it is reassuring to see that staff are fond of him.

I love this care home for my dad. He has been so loved and liked by all staff. He is so settled here, compared to the other he was in - he did like it there. He is so happy and more content in Eckington Court. The staff are brilliant to all residents.
Would recommend.

All the staff, without exception, are kind, empathetic and caring. They really care about the residents and do everything possible to make them happy, and their needs are taken care of. The staff's attention to detail is second to none, both health and happiness. The entertainment that is provided is
fabulous and the most special time for residents and family. I am so happy my dad is here.

While I was at the Home, my Mother took a tumble. The staff deserve high praise.
Within seconds (no more than five), three of the ladies were giving assistance. I must also point out, that no one there (including myself, who was witness to the incident), could have done anything to prevent this occurrence.
I love my Mother, as does my sister. After witnessing this, I could not have more confidence, in the staff and facility. Truly 1st class.

This is a very difficult period for relatives in care homes. Visitors are essential for the mental wellbeing of many residents and Eckington Court have done everything they can to allow visitors while maintaining a safe regime for all. My mother suffered a stroke in October '21 and has improved both
mentally and physically far more than we had hoped in the care of Eckington Court.

My sisters and I were extremely pleased with the care our mum was given over her 2-year stay until her death in August. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff and she was happy there. Her care when she had covid was exemplary and she recovered to celebrate her 100th birthday with us in May which
the staff organised for her. Our thanks go to all the staff.

My late father was a resident in the home between June and November 2020. Admitted during this covid lockdown was particularly difficult for all staff, however, they took the time to discuss everything with us and put us at ease. Dad quickly settled and in our brief meetings with him, he assured us
that all staff were friendly, patient and helpful. He remarked that they treated him as if he was a friend and did not make him feel that he was troubling anyone.

The care home has been excellent with the care that they have provided for my mum. Nothing is any trouble and under the current circumstances, the staff are committed 110%. Every week there is some sort of social event and I can see from the images that they have posted that my mum is certainly enjoying
herself. Currently, they are offering FaceTime calls and this is proving to be of great benefit to me and my mum.

Update on Eckington Court, we’ve just got a new chef and she’s an amazing cook. I thought the last chef was good but she’s better, her shortbread biscuits are better than the ones in Scotland and her all chocolate butterfly buns are heavenly to name but a few, only trouble is I’m going to need some
elastic for my trousers. Also, we’ve all been tested, staff and residents for Covid-19 and we all came back clear. The management and staff have done an incredible job keeping us all safe, we have two badgers now that we feed at night and a nest of blue tits in one of the bird boxes which are close to fledging.

Compassionate, thoughtful, comforting and respectful are just some of the words that describe the wonderful care our mum receives at Eckington Court. At the centre of all their activities and care are the residents, and this was very evident when staff went out of their way to help our family celebrate
our mum's 100th Birthday; every detail had been thought of. The personal and emotional support given to our mum is excellent, and it is a great comfort to know our mum is in very safe hands.

I have only praise for the staff at Eckington Court. They are extremely caring and provide a lovely atmosphere. When Mum had the COVID-19 virus they kept us informed of her condition and, at one stage, enabled two of my sisters to visit her because her condition was causing concern. We are always made
welcome when we are able to visit and we know Mum is in a safe and caring "home".

When my wife and I visit, we are always impressed by Eckington Court nursing home. It is clean, modern and reasonably furnished. The most notable impression was there was no pervading smell. The care staff are friendly and make visitors feel welcome. The administration staff have been very helpful with
any problems of a minor nature, that we have encountered. It might not be their real home but the elderly are safe and sound.

My mother-in-law is being well looked after. She is joining in activities that she wouldn't even try or go to when she lived alone. We can rest easy knowing she is safe in a clean friendly environment. I will recommend to anyone worrying about putting a relative in here to do so without hesitation.
The staff can't do enough for the residents.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.541)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.541) out of 10 for Eckington Court Nursing Home 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 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 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 4.766 for Eckington Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.766

  • 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 3.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Eckington Court Nursing 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 10 = 0.4

  • 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.
