Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

As a family, we are extremely impressed with this care home. It's a cliche but they do go above and beyond. The staff actually care about the residents. This isn't just a case of a couple of the staff being good. All the staff encountered have had the same attitude and approach.


My dad has

been a resident in the dementia unit for about 6 weeks so far and has really settled. We feel like he is safe here and also happy. The staff make an effort to engage him and not just leave him to veg in his chair all the time. I think the balance is right as is the judgement of what's right for the individual!


He had been in 2 homes in the area previously and this is so much better.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.245)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.245) out of 10 for Vale Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 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 4.542 for Vale Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (32 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.542

  • 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 3.703 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Vale Court Care 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.2 = 0.328

  • 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.
