My mum was a resident at Laureate Court for over 11 years. It is said in life and employment you are only a name and number but when my mum died very unexpectedly I received no communication from the Management Team or the homeowners Larchwood Care at all. No representative attended her funeral despite
the service details being passed on. It's bad enough losing someone but to think she was not worthy of the cost of a few minutes to send a letter to her next of kin and family is appalling. I took special care for the celebrant to thank the staff that cared for my mother at the end of the service but no one was there to hear it. I also have sent 2 emails to Larchwood Care but have not received any acknowledgement or reply to my concerns.

Through illness, we had to put our inlaws in Laureate Court. They both loved it, staff brilliant, friendly always spoke to us. They were absolutely brilliant when they both took a turn for the worse, not only looked after the inlaws but us too. I can't thank the staff and management enough for what
they have done.

When I visited my uncle, I could tell by his appearance that he was receiving high standards of care and I could tell that he was happy in his surroundings. The staff were very polite and friendly, one thing I did notice was how they encouraged snacks and fluids between main meals and how well they
interacted with residents. Not only that but how clean the home looked, there had been a new floor laid and it really felt like a home from home. I would very much recommend Laureate Court!

A friend of mine was being cared for in Laureate Court earlier this year. Laureate Court is clean and bright as you enter through the main entrance. My friend's room was clean and pleasant, all staff I have met while visiting are polite caring and friendly. As you walk through Laureate Court's corridors
there are many photographs of service users on the corridor walls where they have been taking part in different activities. The dining room is pleasant and inviting with tables set ready for meals. Nothing is too much trouble for staff if you need anything or ask any questions. All staff have cared for my friend with respect and dignity at all times.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We had been looking after our relative for some time at home, sharing out the care load between us all, but due to a quick decline in her mental health, Nan needed 24-hour care. Laurette Court was the only care home we visited, it was a welcoming, friendly atmosphere, the environment is clean and fresh.
We, as a family, had a lot of guilt about having to do it, as we had promised we would always look after her, but the time had come and we needed to do what was best for Nan. The manager was really understanding and took time out to chat with us on several occasions. Nan settled in quite quickly and enjoys daily activities to the best of her ability. She is always dressed nicely and looks clean. If we have any concerns the staff are always able to discuss them with us. There is also a secure courtyard which she can sit out in and enjoy the sunshine. We couldn’t thank the staff enough for what they do for her.

My wife had been in care for 5 years with a care home which closed the home at short notice, this caused great worry to residents and families. The search for a new care home was very stressful. Laureate Court said they could provide the level of demanding care my wife required. I have been extremely
happy with the level of care my wife has received in the last 6 months. The carers and staff have been very committed and friendly. My wife has been very relaxed and contented. I am happy and satisfied.

Once again I cannot fault this home. I went to visit a friends family member and she looked very well and approprately dressed for where she was sat in the lounge. She was joining in the activity which at the time making cards to give to relatives for birthdays. The staff were so patient and kind showing
them how to do them. The staff were polite and very well presented in their uniforms. The manager greeted me at the door and was very approachable and helpful as I wanted some information which she found for me. Nothing seems to be too much trouble for her and the staff.

I visited a friend earlier this month who is a permanent resident in this home. I wish to compliment the care staff and management on the way that my friend is being cared for. I found the home to be very clean and well maintained and the staff to be friendly and informative when I asked any questions
about the care that my friend was receiving.
I would certainly recommend this home to anyone.

This review covers April, a month where the care home made a lot of effort to ensure residents enjoyed Easter with bonnets, a raffle and a great family atmosphere.
The care is always consistent and information is always there to review in a folder.
My mum enjoyed her egg.
Thank you.

My father was at Laureate Court, Rotherham for the last four months of his life after being in two previous care homes. As soon as entering the building is was welcoming, the reception area was very homely with comfy chairs, pictures on the wall, the manager's door was open so was the receptionist door,
we were greeted with a smile and hello. The food was excellent, the activities co-ordinator always encouraged my dad to join in the activities even going to my dad's room to take him to the lounge area where he could join in. My dad was on Shelly Suite, the staff were very caring, hardworking and could not do enough for my dad. They were always smart, polite and attended to my dads every need. Towards the end of my dads life he could not have been treated with any more care and dignity. We stayed day and night with my dad, the staff also took care of us and supported us throughout. If you could choose a place for your loved one to end their life there could not be a better place. Thank you so much.

The home is a big home with three units, all have work being/done on them. The home doesn't smell like some do. Staff work hard and look after the residents really well, they seem to really care for the resident's health and wellbeing. The unit I visited dance with the residents in the lounge and the
residents looked like they loved every minute!

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.

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.
