Mum has settled in well. Home is clean and well maintained. Carers and nurses are excellent. However, there is a shortage of staff at the moment as several have recently left. I think too much pressure is placed on remaining staff to the point where there are not enough to give the full care that
the residents need (eg having to wait to be taken to the toilet). It would be lovely if the home’s minibus could be used every week to actually take residents out. It’s a shame that it sits there week in week out never moving. Perhaps if more staff are employed this would happen. Mum likes it at Laureate Court but does get a bit bored at times. Would be nice if there were more/ different activities available every week. All in all, though it’s one of the best care homes I visited before deciding to place Mum there.

The staff work extremely hard and in my opinion, there are too many residents for the 3-4 carers on each shift. The top floor has 2 lounges and the staff can't be in 2 places at 1 given time. Other care homes have a 'Music Room' where residents can listen to music for their relaxation, dementia patients
respond well to music for their ECA. Maybe one lounge could have a music room? NO activities on the top floor to stimulate - only 2 TV's.

My father was a resident of Laureate Court for the last four months of his life. He had an aggressive form of vascular dementia, mobility issues and was blind. He was in the Keats Wing of the home.
I cannot fault the care he received, which was kind, compassionate and tailored to his individual needs.
Every single member of staff treated him like family and were equally as gracious to myself and my brother and my father's daughter in law on our frequent visits.
The home was clean, very well run, the food was varied and always offered a choice of meals and would even cater to a specific meal request if at all possible.
All staff, from the cooks to the laundry assistant, care staff to the fabulous unit management team obviously took great pride in the care they were able to offer.
I take great comfort from the fact that my father was so well cared for in his last month's, right up to his very last moments when he sadly passed away. Thank you to the whole unit team.

Laureate Court Care Centre provides a home and 24 hour care for some very vulnerable people and this, in turn, gives support to relatives, who can no longer offer that care.
Some very ordinary daily tasks can be frightening and confusing for some residents which causes distress and staff do all they
can to alleviate such stress in a compassionate and reassuring manner.
Residents are treated with care, kindness and respect. The current refurbishment to the building, fixtures and fittings is giving a much needed breath of fresh air.
I have always felt confident that the level of personal care offered is of a high standard and I have recommended Laureate Court Care Home to many other people!

Staff leaving in droves since the new manager has been in charge. This care home is so up and down with the care given, it is unbelievable. My husband has been a resident for 5 1/2 years and 1 year in a residential home. He has had a couple of short spells in hospital but each time returned to the home
for which I am pleased. He has been for so long now with dementia although he doesn't even know us family, he seems to connect with the regular carer's voices. He has been confined to bed for the past 18 months so apart from cleaning, feeding, personal care nothing else relates to him - not enough carers to provide proper cover.

Reply from Alison Boote, Operations Director at Laureate Court Care Home

We are sorry that this has been the experience of the service at Laureate Court. We value the feedback received from any person involved in, or having contact with the home and truly believe this enables continuous improvement. Our complaint process is currently being followed to enable thorough review of the concerns.

Laureate Court Care Centre provides kind and loving care for my relative. Nothing is too much trouble for the nurses and staff and the management team are always approachable. The food is prepared daily from fresh produce and specialist diets can be catered for. Currently undergoing some redecoration
and refurbishment Laureate Court provides a high standard of care for residents at a difficult time of their life.

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.

Hi there! I’m Hannah, and I’m passionate about connecting with people and getting to know their stories. My journey started in the domestic field, where I learnt a lot about care, patience, and attention to detail. Over time, I transitioned into a receptionist role, where I still get to interact with people and make them feel welcome.


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.
