My mother is 95 years old and has advanced dementia, She has lived at Aaron Court for nearly two years and a half and receives excellent care. In my experience, the staff are professional, always kind and very attentive to the constantly changing needs of my mum. The warmth they show her and all the
residents in their care is a wonderful thing to see. A very dedicated group of people, Thank you all.

My mum came into your care January 2023. I myself living in Australia was very apprehensive as my mum until six months ago was very independent, 88 years old. After being so ill and having to be placed into care, this was very concerning for me. I have only been given positive feedback since her arrival.
This was shown on 14th/15th April 2023 when Mum became very ill again. I myself flew in on the 16th and saw for myself the care. Thank you.

Care for patients with dementia is extremely poor. They are all housed in one corridor on the second floor. Mostly kept in their rooms with TVs on and doors open! No carer in the common room whenever I visited. My brother lost 5kg in weight in the 2 weeks he was resident there. Is now in the hospital
as inadequate care allowed him to injure himself. No daytime activities on show either. Very posh rooms and electronic floor mats do not make for adequate care. Would not recommend ever.

I have no words to describe my gratitude to Aaron Court nurses and staff. You have the most caring, loving and compassionate staff who looked after my ill father, who was there from December 2022 until February 2023. You looked after him, and I'm so grateful for your care. If God sent Angels on earth,
then it's you all the nurses and staff, who look after people in care. I highly recommend Aaron Court to anyone. Thank you all, and God Bless you all. A big thank you to the manager for his assistance with the paperwork. God Bless.

Though it was difficult at first for all when my mum arrived, over time we all got used to all the staff, after some teething problems. A year or so on, I can see and say what changes have happened and how well and loved my mum is. Everyone has been an ear to listen, help and give advice to my family

After moving my brother-in-law from his previous care home I felt really happy for him. Since he has been there the communication with family has been very good. The staff are really nice, all greet you with a smile and a warm welcome. Visting is also very flexible. He's settled in really well. Hopefully,
he can also feel the warmth and compassion the staff show him. I'm sure he can.

It is almost a year since my wife has been a resident at Aaron Court. I would not say it has been easy, and I have had my moments, but on reflection now, I would say I now appreciate the dedication of the staff and especially the manager, she is understanding and gives her time to listen to what is
being said and reassures me, it is a traumatic experience to see your loved one disappear in front of your eyes, the manager at Aaron Court has the capacity to reassure me. If nothing else from this review then please make sure my thanks are passed on to her and her staff, it is not an easy job to do. As for my wife she is settled now and appears to be happy, she has her off days but then who doesn’t, I am happy that my wife is at Aaron Court, I don’t believe she would get better care anywhere else.

We would like to send a big thank you to the manager and all her staff at Aaron Court. Just before the Covid 19 virus took hold in the UK, my father was admitted to hospital. After a few weeks of recovery, his existing care home, completely abandoned him, not willing to take him back at this very vulnerable
time. Our dad was now stuck in a hospital that was fighting Covid 19, with nowhere to go. As a family, we spent a very frightening and anxious few weeks.
Luckily Aaron Court said they would take him. From day one, Aaron Court showed kindness and compassion, always there to answer our questions and solve the problems that arose from our dad being rejected by his original care home. The staff always came across calm and reassuring, they quickly established the Face Time calls that were a godsend, especially as we had not had any direct contact with our dad in five weeks. His overall health quickly improved and they kept him safe.
Thanks again and take care.

Reply from Andrea Gamble, Regional Director at Aaron Court

Thank you for your very kind comments about the manager and staff at Aaron Court and the care and kindness you and your family have received. Indeed it has been a very worrying time for everyone in these unprecedented times and I am pleased to note that you felt reassured and supported. and managing to stay in contact with Dad albeit it remotely. Stay safe and take care.

My husband had Dementia and was a resident for six months. Management and Staff do an amazing job caring for residents, especially those with dementia, not an easy task as I well know. Everyone was caring, friendly and helpful as well as being professional, they not only looked after his needs but those
of myself and daughter too. I can’t thank Management and Staff enough for their care and compassion when my husband fell ill, in his last days he had the best care you could wish for, making a difficult journey for him and us bearable. Nothing was too much trouble, the staff were sensitive to his needs and the nurses were wonderful, knowledgeable, caring, kind, helpful and thoughtful. I feel he was in the best place he could have been and was treated with dignity and compassion during his stay. His room was lovely and there were lots of space so he could wander around. There are three separate lounges to sit in, a large dining room and a nice kitchen area for making drinks. A very nice care home and well managed.

Reply from Andrea Gamble, Regional Director at Aaron Court

Thank you for sharing your experience, your comments will be shared with the staff team. It was a privilege for our staff to have known and cared for your husband and we are heartened to hear that as a family you also felt well supported at what we know was a very difficult time for you all.

Two years ago, we visited a dozen care homes with nursing before choosing Aaron Court, which was superior in many ways.
We have always been warmly welcomed by staff, who are more than happy to support any worries or concerns. We are encouraged to help ourselves to drinks and join in with meals.
My
mum was confused at first by communal living but is now, thanks to the kindness of the great care staff, contented and thriving. She is actually, in better shape mobility-wise than when she arrived. The nurses have all been wonderful and keen to manage her many health problems with compassion and expertise. They are always happy to answer questions.
At first, Mum refused to take part in the activities but now settled has enjoyed various trips out for afternoon tea and meals thanks to the lovely ladies responsible. She also enjoys her regular visits to the hair salon.
There is a helpful handyman and a good laundry service.
The manager is excellent and responds immediately with kindness.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.698)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.698) out of 10 for Aaron Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 46 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.698 for Aaron Court is calculated as follows: ( (409 Excellents x 5) + (109 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 536 Ratings = 4.698

  • 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 Aaron Court is based on 44 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 91 registered maximum number of service users is 18.2, which has been reached with 44 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.
