A friend of mine recommended Amber Court for which I will be eternally grateful. In this pandemic, they made sure he was kept safe and well and had his two vaccinations. The staff treat us both with respect and give my husband his dignity. He is kept clean and tidy but the only bugbear I have is that
I hardly see him in the clothes I initially sent in. Other than that he is content.

The staff were helpful, friendly and polite when both phoning the home to enquire about our brother and when arranging a visit. My sister and I were guided through the Covid lateral flow test process and advised on how to do this prior to visiting, therefore, allowing more time for a visit. Our brother
is cheerful and well cared for.

I haven't seen my friend for a long time as I live in Southport.
During my visit the staff were respectful and reassuring. Management spent a lengthy time with me to discuss my friend's condition and plan of care that they showed to me and made me sign.
Very relaxed atmosphere - staff were laughing
with the others in the lounge.

Under recent circumstances with virus, I was not able to see my husband inside. But the care home allowed me to see my husband at the front entrance or at window, so I had limited contact. This was satisfactory for me.

I have visited the home during lunch-time to see my mother-in-law and found all members of staff to be very supportive and friendly. Also, the cleanliness and food was also to a very excellent standard. As was her bedroom and home in general. Furthermore, there was plenty of activities on offer both
for entertainment purposes along with a variety of activities that involve the residents to help with their interaction along with keeping them interested and active, which was always an excellent standard.

With the virus, it's been hard for my husband and I, just to see him once a week has been awful. They look after him ok, could do with more baths and showers also to find time to iron their clothes not put everything on a hot wash, it shrinks his clothes. Sometimes he says the food is good then he says
it's not, but that's Parkinson's for you. It would be lovely if they do more for them in the home, more outings and lots more entertainment. When this is finally over it will be lovely to give him a hug and a kiss.

Reply from Delma dela Cruz, Care Manager at Amber Court Care Home

I highly recommend Amber Court, my mother has been a resident for a few years and we are very happy with the high-quality care provided by the staff. All staff are highly attentive to the needs of the residents and go above and beyond to create a family-like atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble and
the staff listen to personal preferences and take these into account whilst looking after the residents.
Small touches that were appreciated include completely redecorating the room to my mum's preference when she arrived, it really helped make it feel like home.
The home itself is modern, clean and enjoyable to be in, with plenty of activities hosted during the week to keep everyone entertained and engaged in daily life. The food is fantastic quality and there are always plenty of options to choose from.
Overall we are very happy that we discovered Amber Court when we were looking at care homes and would recommend it to anyone looking for top-quality care provided by friendly staff.

Amber Court Care Home has helped my mum to be independent, her communication, personal and general well-being has been improved since her stay in this home. I was afraid at first to have my mum in a care home but I am very impressed with the care given to my mum. During this difficult time in the world,
I am grateful for the care my mum is receiving. My mum has become very chatting, communicating well and her general health has improved dramatically.

its staff, residents and visitors. This review is to say a big thank you and well done to the management and staff of Amber Court Nursing Home for their care and support to their residents, visitors and families.

Very nice looking building from the outside, not been inside yet. Very friendly and helpful staff. They take great care of my dad and consistently monitor his condition. Nothing else to say at the moment.

I am very impressed with the care and protection the resident in Amber Court Nursing Home is given, during my visit to my friend I was given a nice welcome by the staff, my temperature was checked and I was given PPE to wear before my friend was wheeled to the garden to chat with me, he looked well
and properly cared for and all the staff had proper PPE, this delighted my heart because I knew immediately that he was in safe care, we stayed 2 meters apart and refreshments were offered to me. I am very happy with the care and protection Amber Court is providing to its staffs and residents. The team in Amber Court is run by very caring management and staff the residents are well protected, I would recommend this care home to anyone and I am making arrangements to get my aunty in the home as I am 100% impressed with the way my friend, other residents and staff looked during my visit and the way the home protects its resident and staffs.

My father was transferred from hospital to Amber Court for end of life care. He was there for ten days, and as a family, we could not have wished for any care that was more loving, professional and dedicated that not only he received but that was given our family as well. A mark of any good organisation
is how colleagues relate to each other. All the staff had great respect for each other and this was transparent in the care given to my dad as well as to other residents. I am so glad that we chose Amber Court for his final days. Thanks to the manager and all the wonderful staff there. You are outstanding.

Outstanding overall care at Amber Court. The staff are warm, friendly and compassionate towards both the residents and relatives creating a positive and calm environment. The rooms and common areas are nicely decorated and always very clean. The food is excellent. Staff try their best to make it feel
like a ‘home from home’.

My mum spent 18 months in Amber Court and passed away there in June 2018. The staff are truly wonderful. They are compassionate, caring and treat the residents and their relatives like family. Mum had a difficult end and I will be forever grateful for the care and attention they gave not only to her
but to me too. It was a great comfort to know she had been looked after by such lovely people.

My mother was here for respite for the last two weeks prior to this, she’s been several different care homes but this one is by far the best. Staff and manager are lovely and very helpful and is a pleasure to be in a nice home and our family are very happy with the care that is provided. Will recommend
and will continue to use your respite in the future. Thanks for everything.

Current Review Score: 9.1 (9.119)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.1 (9.119) out of 10 for Amber Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 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 4.419 for Amber Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (72 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 93 Ratings = 4.419

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Amber Court Care Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, which has been reached with 7 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.
