Steeton Court staff are good.
Due to the pressure on time and tasks, sometimes they are not visible.
The care they give is good.

My friend has been living at Steeton Court for just over a year now. The staff are lovely and do their best to ensure that all her preferences are addressed. There is a real sense of community in the home, and my friend has made new friends among other residents who are able to socialise. I feel welcomed
as a visitor and very much appreciate the hard work and professionalism of all the staff who work there. Many thanks to all.

Mom came to Steeton Court for three weeks to build her up after a stint in the hospital. The care she received was wonderful. Mom needed support with basic daily needs, plus regular medical reviews and the staff looked after everything without hesitation. They provided a caring and professional approach,
which gave Mom and I reassurance and peace of mind. Mom was not the easiest resident at times, but her needs were always met with compassion and courtesy. I’m really grateful to all the staff and management for their support.

My mum was admitted to Steeton Court as she required palliative care for advanced bowel cancer. The care she received was absolutely wonderful. Nothing was too much for the staff, and she spoke so highly about all of them. We were so glad that she spent her last few months living there. She couldn't
have been more well looked after, for which we will be forever grateful.

The care home is a pleasant environment for my aunt, where she is well cared for. We are regularly kept up to date with management, staff and development issues as they take place. Unfortunately, our visits have been less frequent than was previously the case due to our caution during the pandemic.

Management and staff were always kind, caring and helpful. They helped my brother settle in by helping us to characterise his room with furniture and pictures he knew and loved, and they provided him with a very consistent and high standard of care. My brother was a bit of a challenge, but everyone
at Steeton Court coped well. I know he felt loved and safe. My family and I can't thank everyone at Steeton Court. If I have to live in a nursing home, Steeton Court would be my first choice.

We feel it's so important that Steeton Court is a home from home which is why it's so important that families make the room their own.

The care and compassion my aunty received in the four months she was at Steeton Court was outstanding. She was treated with the utmost care and respect by all the staff throughout her stay. We were continuously updated and guided by their knowledge which helped us through a very challenging period.
From the day my aunt arrived, she was encouraged to make Steeton Court her home by being allowed to bring her own furniture and belongings this was invaluable to her settling in.
Once again, thank you for everything.

What a wonderful place! All the staff are professional, caring and friendly. Whether the patient is having a good day, a bad day, a happy day or a grumpy day, the staff are there to help with caring, knowledgeable help. The chef team is excellent. The cleaning team are wonderful. Everyone in the "office"
is so helpful. Staff are also very good at supporting family and friends and offering advice and help when needed. Everything is so positive.

Steeton Court is just how a nursing home should be. The staff are kind, caring and knowledgable, plus there are enough staff to carry out proper care of residents. The manager is clearly a compassionate nurse, and her ethos travels throughout the home. Activities are planned, and the activity staff
spend time with residents and work on individual capabilities. Just wish we found Steeton Court earlier for our mother.

My husband came to the nursing home in March 2021, after a five-month stay in hospital with wide-ranging nursing needs. The home followed the hospital's plans very carefully, and he soon settled in. The carers and nurses were kind, caring and understanding, and he soon felt at home, as did I during
my visits. Such a friendly, welcoming place I would recommend to anyone.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad was admitted to Steeton Court from the hospital in November 2020 with terminal cancer and Covid. He was given a few weeks to live.
He surprised us all by lasting an additional year. That extra year gave him the opportunity to say goodbye to his loved ones.
I want to thank all the staff of Steeton
Court. Without exception, they all treated him with compassion, dignity and respect, to the point where my father said that the staff were like family.
The nursing home itself is spotlessly clean, well managed, and the food is excellent.
Because my father was so ill, he was unable to enjoy the activities, however, I do know that there were many activities open to him.
One of the nicest aspects of Steeton Court was the way that they kept the families involved. A lot of communication was sent to the families, and the monthly activities calendar is great - it was much appreciated, and it made us feel more involved.
I would highly recommend Steeton Court.

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.

Job Title: Team Leader

Hi, my name is Alisa and I am one of the Team Leaders at Steeton Court. I have worked here for coming up to 21 years!


Working at Steeton Court is like working with a second family, with some great colleagues and fantastic residents.


I have worked in the care sector since the age of 16, and it is my passion to help in any way I can to enrich the lives of our residents. My role as Team Leader is to assist the Nursing Team in the clinical needs of our residents and to lead my team in supporting our residents in their everyday activities.


In my spare time, I love spending time with my family. I enjoy the outdoors, going on walks, camping holidays and holidays abroad with my partner and daughter.

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.
