My husband resides at Laureate Court.
All care staff are caring and nothing is too small to ask for.
The unit is clean, tidy and very well-presentable.
Care staff always speak to my husband with respect, also making me feel welcome.

Mum was moved to Laureate Court in early 2023 after a long spell in the hospital and in another home. The change I have seen in Mum is amazing. She still has some down days, but we can cope with them because the better days far out way the bad. Mum is no longer lonely and has recently had her first
shopping trip out since August 22. They not only care for Mum, but they are also so welcoming to us and make us feel at home, which goes a long way for me.

Reply from Claire Hoyles, Customer Relationship Manager at Laureate Court Care Home

Thank you for such positive feedback. We are equally pleased to see the change and progress in mum and it was an absolute delight to spend the day shopping and lunching with her. We can't wait for the next trip.

From the beginning staff were warm, friendly, welcoming and homely, making it feel a good place to be. At every visit, I observed all staff to treat the residents with kindness, dignity and respect. Having visited many homes during my work in the community, Laureate Court Care Home restored my faith
in the homes and I am already recommending the care home to anyone who may need its services.

My husband was admitted to Laureate Court Care Home in October 2022. Right from the start his treatment was exemplary. Everyone involved with his care did their utmost to make him feel welcome and very much at home, consequently, he was happy there and this had a good effect on me, leaving me feeling
I had made the right choice in placing him into their care. I must say that he was also treated with great dignity and respect by all members of staff, as was I.
I cannot recommend the home highly enough!

I have found Laureate Court to be a home away from home for my mum. She is happy and settled, has made new friends and is eating, sleeping and moving about much better than she has since June, when she broke her arm. Thank you so much to everyone involved.

The staff are always extremely welcoming on arrival. My nan is towards the end of her life and this is difficult for her and the staff. This does not affect the care she is offered and the dignity that she is shown. I appreciate all that is done for her.

In the short time our dad was at Laureate Court, with advanced dementia, this care home and all the staff are absolutely amazing, and always go the extra mile day and night, nothing is too much trouble Our dad, aged 86, could not have asked for more. Also, when you phone up, a member of staff answer's
the phone quickly, and when you visit the home, a member of staff answers the door quickly, without leaving you outside in the cold.
I totally would not hesitate in recommending Laureate Court.

Reply from Bev Hanson, Home Manager at Laureate Court Care Home

Hello Brendan, thank you so much for the review. We are happy to hear your father enjoyed his respite care, and we are grateful for your recommendation. We always believe relatives should be informed of all updates, and we appreciate your positive feedback.

The care and support our father has received during the COVID-19 pandemic has been excellent. My dad has had COVID-19 and has survived it, not only due to his strength but due to the care he has received whilst he has been at Laureate Court. Nothing has been too much trouble for the staff. They have
updated regularly and have been open and transparent throughout.

We cannot praise the staff of this care home enough. The love and care that they gave to my Dad in the final days of his life on this earth were second to none. We were forced to find a suitable palliative care home for my Dad very quickly and to say I am so pleased that we chose Laureate Court is an
understatement. Every member of staff, genuinely and passionately cares for the people they are looking after. They ensured that my Dad was comfortable and superbly looked after and treated him with total dignity and respect. As my Dad was so seriously ill; they allowed my Mum to spend quality time with him and superbly supported and cared for her too at an incredibly distressing time. You will all never know just how much it meant to Mum to be able to spend this precious time with Dad.
To the manager and all the staff, especially on the Shelley Unit, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You are all God's Angels, and we cannot thank you enough.

My Mum was a resident at Laureate Court Care Home (Keats) from July 2018 until her death on the 31st March 2020. I would personally like to thank all staff for the way my Mum was looked after, she was treated with the utmost respect and love at all times. I too was always made welcome on my regular
visits and I was treated more like a friend than just a visitor. From the bottom of my heart thank you, thank you, thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for Laureate Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.927 for Laureate Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (242 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.927

  • 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 Laureate Court Care Home is based on 22 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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 22 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.

One of my favourite things about my job now is spending time chatting with families and learning about the backgrounds and experiences of the residents. I love hearing their stories and understanding what makes each person unique. It’s so rewarding to build these connections.


Outside of work, I’m all about quality time with my 11-year-old. We have a blast together, especially when we're adding to my growing Lego collection. It’s something we both really enjoy, and it’s a great way for us to bond and get creative. I believe in the importance of both professional and personal growth, and I strive to bring that same energy into everything I do.
