I have just returned home after spending one week of respite here. I found the entire experience very enjoyable. I found all the staff friendly, caring very helpful and nothing was too much trouble for them. My room was spacious, tastefully decorated and comfortable. Common areas were very comfortable,
light and airy. Meal times were my favourite! Food was lovely and had a varied menu. The cake was the best, I love cake.
I recommend this home, I will be returning myself in future for more respite.
Once again, I found the entire team great, and for that, I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

My mother came to Amber Court after her bungalow was flooded in a storm, for the short term. The home is very clean, friendly and welcoming. all the staff are very helpful and friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. The bedrooms are large and nicely decorated and warm.


The dining room and lounge area

is also very welcoming and warm. Overall the home is very nice and I would recommend it.

The staff always made us welcome and Dad was happy there. He moved there from another home and the difference was amazing.
His room was light and bright and we were able to bring personal items in to make the room more like 'home'.
The staff were always helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
Sadly
our dad passed away on Friday and the staff were very supportive of the whole family.

My mother spent 14 months in Amber Court Care Home but sadly died on 9/10/17. The staff always made us feel welcome and my father was able to spend Xmas day with her. She was always clean and cared for and when she died, I was able to be with her. The staff on duty were caring and supporting and mum
died with dignity, care and love.

When I first came I was in a really poor condition, but the personnel from this home helped me so well and after a few months, I got better and better. I am really pleased with all the help and treatment form all the people who work here! Thanks to them, I am much better.

The management and staff have given my mother the most wonderful care over the past fourteen months. Unfortunately, she passed away recently but all the staff have been fantastic right up to the end of her life.
I cannot thank you all enough.

My mother was recently in the Amber Court Nursing Home, Blackpool for a short period for end of life care. I can't give the manager and her well trained staff enough praise for the professional way they handled the situation.
My mother was given the respect and dignity she deserved in the last hours
of her life, for that I will be forever grateful.
Sincere thanks.

My dad was only in Amber Court Care Home for only one week, but in that time everyone was so kind to him and my family. The staff work very hard as a team and management are part of this team and very hands on, which is refreshing in this day and age. My family would highly recommend this care/nursing
home.

My mother is a resident at Amber Court and has been receiving end-of-life care which has been exceptional.
The staff and management have been very sensitive and looked after my mother and her family and friends.
I would highly recommend this nursing home to anyone looking for care.
It was over and
above any other care my mother received in her six months of illness.
Will always remember the kindness.

Mum has been here 5 years and under the circumstances, we couldn't have asked for better care. Amber Court has helped us as a family to accept what had happened to mum and supported us as well as mum. The staff have been like a second family and have gone above and beyond taking time to build a relationship
with us all. Mum has improved massively during her time here and we are so so grateful for everything. Past staff and current staff thank you all so much.

We feel that the service my wife received from Amber Court Care Home could not have been better.
From the manager down, all who dealt with her gave 110 percent service both to my wife and all relatives who visited.
In all things, we could fully recommend the care home with no doubt at all.
She was
only there a short time but in all things was treated with respect and dignity.
Thank you once again.

My Father was only living in Amber Court for 10 days before he died, but during his short time there the service and treatment was exemplary.
He needed privacy, comfort and dignity, that was delivered in spades by Amber Court. They were absolutely fantastic.

Well my sister-in-law was unable to tend to herself anymore and the staff made her so welcome, she said I don't know why I didn't come sooner. She has been in hospital a couple of times, they visited her and when she came back. They looked after her, her meals in her room. As I visit a lot I see the
care the staff take of all the people.

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.
