Since my husband came to Cheaney Court his care has been so good. If I have any concerns the manager and deputy are very approachable. The staff are supportive of me. Al staff very helpful from kitchen domestic, carers, and nurses. Wish all care homes were this good.

My mother was admitted to Cheaney Court on the 24th of October 2020 and died on the 23rd January 2021. During her three months in Cheaney Court, she was treated with care and love by all staff. With Alzheimer's and dementia and other ailments, she was given appropriate and timely care. She was comfortable
until her death. I have no hesitation in recommending Cheaney Court.

A very welcoming home. Staff are caring and really seem to know my mum well.
The management team have gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure residents maintain positive links with family and friends in the community in a safe and Covid aware way.
I am very happy with the care my mum receives here.
(What a difference to the previous home she was in).

My late husband was only under the care of this home for a brief time until his death there.
The care was exemplary from the start until his passing. This was such a comfort to us, his grieving family.

After a long search to find a suitable home for my mother, my family and I decided on Cheaney Court. The management and staff are excellent, the level of care is second to none. Whilst the building has a "lived in" look unlike some that are "places" cold and sterile it is always clean and smells nice.
We have peace of mind that our mum is safe and well looked after.

All the staff were exceptional in every way, nothing was ever too much trouble and they treated my dad with respect and the dignity he deserved right until the end.
All the staff were always very welcoming when we visited and made us feel as though we were all friends. Fantastic job guys.

My dad only spent seven weeks at Cheaney Court before he passed away, but we as a family, we were extremely reassured with the quality of care that he received during this time.
As dad entered the home during the Coronavirus pandemic we didn’t get to meet all of the staff who cared for him. As a result
of this we relied heavily on gaining information over the phone and we were always treated with respect, never rushed and given a full update. Everyone that we spoke to without question gave us comfort and reassurance on a daily basis as we were unable to visit.
We will always be eternally grateful to everyone at Cheaney Court for giving dad the care he deserved. They are a truly special group of people.

The assessment procedure to accept her into care was very good because of how vulnerable she was and it took a while for her to settle. The staff were very good at bringing her around to accepting her position. She has been very well looked after whilst in care. I do, however, think something needs
to be done about self-funding fees. This is not a criticism, but for the future, only people of real means will be able to sustain the cost.

The care quality here is exceptional and cannot be faulted. It is a nice friendly atmosphere with lovely carers and excellent food. There are plenty of activities for the residents to enjoy and take part in and my mum loves to sing along with the entertainer. It is a very hard decision deciding which
care home would be the best for your loved ones and I can honestly say that I made a great choice in Cheaney Court. Thank you to all the staff for taking such special care of my mum.

A well run, warm and friendly care home. Staff are all very caring, considerate and patient with both residents and their families, even when attending to the most challenging of situations. The staff interact with the residents well and encourage them to participate in the various activities; a 'happy'
place with a good atmosphere.

My aunt's stay in Cheaney Court lasted 6 and a half years to her death in Feb 2020. I saw the home adjust to her changing needs, at no time did I doubt them. She was their oldest resident and died at 103 years. Her 100th birthday was celebrated there happily. The build-up to her death and the ending
which was at the home was handled with compassion, kindness and efficiency, making it easier for me.

My mother died in August 2019 having lived at Cheaney Court for just over 5 years. She suffered from severe dementia. The staff were always excellent and at the end of mum's life, they showed high levels of care and compassion. Many of the staff there at the end of her life had been there for the whole
of her stay, so the turnover of staff appears to be low. This is good for the residents who benefit from seeing familiar faces.

Following 3 months hospitalisation. I entered Cheaney Court in Desborough in July 2018. I was met there by smiling faces and a lovely cup of tea and biscuits, which was a kindly gesture. I was transferred from a stretcher to a wheelchair and then to a very comfortable, cushioned chair in the lounge
amongst 4 guys of my own age group and how friendly they were. I was in a position where I had to return to bed every day after lunch. I was kept in tough by the nurses regarding my health and progress. The carers were always available to give assistance whatever the request and nothing was too much trouble. A friendly doctor visited once a week. The food was adequate. Over the next 6 months, I said goodbye to the wheelchair and to the Zimmer and to laying on my bed from lunchtime. After 6 months walked out of Cheaney Court with my partner. Thank you Cheaney Court.

Upon admission to the care home Father was still very mentally independent and, within reason, fairly physically capable, the staff at Cheaney Court very much encourage and embraced this, moreover when his condition worsened I don't think he could have received better care anywhere. He was always allowed
to keep his privacy and dignity right to the end.

Cheaney Court provided very good care for my father. It was clean, warm, friendly and caring. The end of life care was excellent and my father's passing was peaceful and dignified. I am particularly grateful to Cheaney Court for this.

I would like to thank all of the staff for their outstanding care and support to my husband. I would also like to thank everyone at the care home for their continuous care and support to myself as well in last weeks before my husband's passing. I will be forever grateful.

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.
