My journey at the nursing home for 2 weeks at the beginning of 01/2024.
I had a good experience at Steeton Court Nursing Home, my rating was 8 out of 10. In the day shift, there were plenty of care workers. On the floor, I was resistant to 12 care workers for 31 users at the time.
The service was
great, on the usual 2 minutes of myself pressing the on-call button a care worker would attend my room helping in a few minutes if not busy. The night staff care workers were less therefore assisting was longer in time. The activities coordinator team has really helped and is good.
The kitchen was good catering to my halal deities and the food was delicious.
The home staff were great at keeping the nursing home clean and tidy.
The management team would take on board any issues I had.

Dad was admitted for end-of-life care. The staff ensured he was comfortable at all times. They engaged with him and listened to his choices. They really tried to please him. He always looked well looked after with his hair brushed and clean bedding and clothes. When his time came they contacted us in
good time so we were able to be with him when he went. They treat us all with kindness and dignity. The way the home is divided into sections really makes it feel like personal care.

Since Mum has been under the care at Steeton Court, she has had full professional and caring support from all staff. Great care and empathy has been shown at all times to Mum and visitors. We're always made welcome and all staff are approachable. I would love to think that all vulnerable ageing people
receive the same care as my mum has had. Great work! Team work makes the dream work.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

When it became clear that my friend needed full-time, skilled nursing care, we visited several local homes. Without doubt, Steeton Court was the best choice, from the friendly yet very professional first visit, right through to her final weeks, I felt she was in a safe, caring environment, which attended
to details.
As a friend who visited occasionally (not a member of the family) I cannot speak for the day to day or details of care and support. I was impressed by the way the home allowed my friend to hold our reading group meetings in a communal room, so that she could host and continue her usual routines. We were all made very welcome.
I was also delighted by the way the staff put up my friend's many decorations for the Coronation around her room and helped her dress up for the day. They also made it possible for her to host her own birthday party, little things that make a big difference and helped make this care home into a real home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

After spending almost 7 years in a wonderful care home in North Yorks, an assessment deemed Dad needing nursing care. We took the opportunity to move him to a home in West Yorkshire where we can visit more often. This was a traumatic experience not only for Dad but for all the family. We wanted to find
somewhere as nice as possible for him and after looking at a few other nursing homes we arrived at Steeton Court, where all our prayers were answered. It is a haven of peace and tranquillity, where we were met with courtesy and kindness by the manager. She sorted out all the details for us and completely put our minds at rest. Dad moved to Steeton Court in July and has settled in well due to all the care and compassion he is shown. Having dementia it is difficult to converse with him but the staff have unlimited patience and we can never thank them enough. His needs are all catered for with a smile and a gentle touch. Our sincere thanks to everyone.

We moved our mum to Steeton Court just over a year ago after several years of living in a home run by a large chain. What a wonderful place Steeton Court is, with amazing, caring, committed and professional staff. The change in Mum was incredible. The high level of staffing is a huge positive, enabling
personalised care for each resident. Under excellent management, training is regularly updated, and there is a real understanding of dementia care. Food is freshly cooked, and residents genuinely have a choice. Those with a reduced appetite are tempted by little plates of titbits. Activities are well planned, catering to individual interests as well as seasonal or spontaneous (ice cream on the patio when the sun shines!). My mum preferred to be in her own room, so someone regularly sat with her and read poetry.
I cannot recommend Steeton Court highly enough. It is clean, smart and attractively decorated. However, the real quality is in the staff and the excellent level of care.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.799)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.799) out of 10 for Steeton Court Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.799 for Steeton Court Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (162 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.799

  • 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 Steeton Court Nursing Home is based on 17 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 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 17 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, I’m Tracy. I’ve been a carer for over 20 years, and I’ve spent most of that time working with people living with dementia. I love making people laugh and smile, and I’m always up for a bit of fun.


I enjoy singing, and I like to keep myself busy in my spare time. I love going out, shopping, listening to music, and creating lasting memories with my loved ones.


The best part about my job is everything! I adore the residents I care for and my wonderful colleagues.
