Really happy with the care my dad receives at Almond court. The staff are excellent, caring, and friendly. He is clean, shaved, and looks well cared for at every visit. The room is a great size, en suite spotless, and with an amazing view.
The only down points I have seen are the quality of the food
and menu, eg chicken drumsticks for elderly patients with dementia is ridiculous. Also although there are lovely big lounge areas there are no activity staff to engage with the residents.
Overall it’s a good home, with only a few easily remedied minus points and I would happily recommend Almond Court to anyone for a safe caring environment for their family member.

Reply from Annie Irvine, Manager at Almond Court

Thank you for your kind words regarding the care that your dad receives. I acknowledge the feedback regarding the food choices and the menu and will review this with the team.

My father arrived at Almond Court during COVID restrictions, and we weren't able to view the home in advance, relying on good word of mouth and reviews. Dad needed a home that specialised in dementia care and we wanted one that wasn't too far from friends and family. Once visitor restrictions were lifted
a little, I was able to visit and was immediately impressed. Every staff member I met had taken the time to find out about Dad since he'd moved in and they couldn't do enough for him. His room is clean and tidy, the food very good, and the staff are always available to help. As a family, we feel very fortunate to have been directed towards Almond Court.

The ventilation in this home is very poor. The window design prevents the windows from opening in a manner that allows adequate fresh air to circulate whilst maintaining safety. The gardens and grounds surrounding the home have an air of neglect. No shelter provided to protect residents from the elements.

Our father is happy within the care home, which is what is important to us. He appears well fed and cared for. We have been able to have window visits and a visit outside near Christmas hosted by the care home. The staff work extremely hard to meet the needs of the residents and often give their time
off willingly to support residents' activities.

My mother was transferred to your home from another as we had grave concerns about her wellbeing, justified as it turned out. However, from the moment we came through the door, my mother was made welcome, treated with dignity and a level of care that was of the highest standard. All staff that we met
had the same caring attitude and were very kind and professional.

My wife was admitted to Almond Court with dementia. I couldn't cope with her living at home (we are both in our 80s). Now I know I can leave her in safe hands and I can visit whenever and as often as I want.

From the moment I entered the care facility I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff despite me arriving at meal time, they were happy to show me around the home, which really was homely, clean, odour free and had a really good vibe and I have visited a few homes prior to this. I decided immediately
that this was the place I wanted for my mum. She has now been there 4 months and is thriving and is well cared for and is taking part in outings and daily life. Thank you so much to all the staff nothing is ever too much trouble. I have recommended this place too many folk as a result of how impressed I am with the home keep up the fantastic work.

Dementia has robbed mum of making her own decisions but I feel confident she is looked after with dignity and lots of care. The home is comfortable and as clean as possible.
Of course, there can be little irritations but with communication with the staff, they get resolved.
If you've been the main
carer and pass your loved one over to someone else then you realistically have to adjust.
There is an interesting and varied entertainment programme.
No-one wants to lose their independence, especially through dementia but this home provides a safe environment to allow the individual to do what they can.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.366)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.366) out of 10 for Almond Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.366 for Almond Court is calculated as follows: ( (63 Excellents x 5) + (55 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.366

  • 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 Almond Court is based on 11 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
