My mum has been in Cheaney Court Care Home for fifteen months now and I'm glad she came here. I know she is being well looked after. All the staff are happy and talk to the residents like family. It's a lovely place and a lovely garden for everyone to sit in.

My wife is currently a resident in Cheaney Court Care Home for the second time this year. The management and staff have always been very friendly and cooperative and on two occasions sorted out problems with funding. My wife is very happy there and says that she always enjoys the food. I joined her
there for a Sunday lunch and can confirm this myself. There are numerous activities to keep the people involved and they are actively encouraged to join in. If my wife needs to have respite care again, I will insist that she returns to Cheaney Court.

Thank you for your kind feedback. We appreciate you recognising our staff's efforts and are glad to hear your wife is happy with us. I'll forward your warm sentiments to our home team.

I had the pleasure of meeting the staff at Cheaney Court Care Home earlier this week. Everyone I met was very friendly and professional. Everyone took the time to speak to my sister and give her the care she deserves.

Friendly, caring staff. We thought my father-in-law would be unhappy but he has never complained about Cheaney Court Care Home or the staff. He even says he enjoys the food, as an Indian we weren't expecting this.

Reply from Kathryn Smith, Home Manager at Cheaney Court Care Home

Thank you for your very kind words. Each person that we support and care for is a unique individual enriching our lives and enhancing our knowledge of how we can continually develop the care we provide. I will pass on your kind words to the team.

This is the third care home Mum has been in, due to trying to get her closer to home, and I can honestly say as soon as we walked in Cheaney Court Care Home felt so homely. The manager, chef, carers, cleaner and caretaker welcomed us one by one, the first thing we got was a cup of tea and biscuits which
made Mum immediately feel at ease. Even the chef came to chat and find out Mum's likes and dislikes. I really cannot rave enough about all aspects of this home. Mum has struggled settling before and lost a lot of weight, in the few months she has been at Cheaney Court she’s putting on weight. She loves tidying up and straightening things, the carers let her help, giving her a purpose. Rooms are so cosy and homely, staff are excellent, regular entertainment, proper home-cooked food, lots of tea and biscuits and all carers never stop. Honestly can’t rave enough about the support and how welcoming everyone is.

I found this care home very good.
My mum was treated with care and dignity during her last months. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, always willing to help.
Our family was there during the last week, day and night, we were offered tea, coffee, sandwiches, cakes and biscuits. The family were
also looked after by the staff.
Thank you for my mum's excellent care.

Unfortunately, not many people get the chance to compare homes for the elderly. My husband was admitted to a care home originally which was adequate, staff were hardworking, friendly and helpful.
Since being moved to a nursing home I was amazing at the difference in the care he receives from management
to staff. He has put weight on, hair cut, manicured, shaved, doctors visit regularly. I can ask for no more. I did attempt to care for my husband originally, probably another reason I appreciate the patience of these wonderful people.

My mother lived the last nine years of her life in this care home. It was just what she needed and this was because the staff 'bombed her with love'. Always hugs and kisses and laughter when needed.
The atmosphere in the home was always caring and kind. I have nothing but praise for the way the staff
coped with everything thrown at them.
Thank you to all of them.

I have now used the services of Cheaney Court for almost four years. During that time I have found the service offered to be excellent. The atmosphere in the home is always welcoming and friendly. Staff are always polite and caring. The description as being a "care home" is well chosen and correct.
The
unfortunate time of "lockdown" during the Covid crisis was handled firmly, but sensitively, all care was taken to protect everyone concerned.
When leaving, after visiting, it is with a feeling of confidence regarding the care of one's loved one.

Mum came to Cheaney Court Care Home in December 2020, since becoming a resident there have been ups and downs with Mum, but her care has been exemplary. Given the current restrictions with Covid Mums needs have been truly met, staff, have gone above and beyond to do everything possible for her. Everyone
has encouraged Mum to eat and drink more which is vital. Even putting something she really enjoys on the menu. If an issue has been raised it has been dealt with promptly and professionally, my only criticism is regarding Mums laundry. It is still in parts being laundered even though we want to do it as some items don't come back.

I was a friend and neighbour for many years and it was lovely to see him thrive at Cheaney Court. His appetite picked up and he was a happier person all round. Cheaney Court made such a difference and improved his life beyond expectations. The care he received was the best and he was always saying how
good the food was and couldn't wait for his next meal. He will be sadly missed.

I have been friends with him for many years after we became neighbours. I know he is being well looked after and that his family and myself are pleased that he seems to be happy and contented with the care and attention he is receiving.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.790)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.790) out of 10 for Cheaney Court Care 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 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.790 for Cheaney Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (305 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 381 Ratings = 4.79

  • 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 Cheaney Court Care Home is based on 32 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 32 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.
