My Dad spent 2 weeks at Ebor Court in Poppleton, nr. York, after undergoing surgery in Leeds hospital. My Dad was having 2 weeks of respite care at Ebor Court. I brought him to Ebor Court on Friday 15th February. There were some items missing in the room, the key to the drawer mentioned in the contract
but no key materialised throughout his stay, no shower curtain. By Sunday Dad had norovirus which some of the other residents also had - he recovered after a day or two. I visited on Wed. 20th February. Dad was ok (he is a fully functioning 89-year-old). My husband and I visited again on Thursday with rumours of norovirus at the home, on Friday morning we were not allowed in as norovirus again confirmed. Dad was ok and luckily did not catch the virus. There were no visitors allowed until he left. Dad came out of Ebor Court on Friday 1st March, he was very happy to leave. The staff were helpful and caring but the home would not be recommended by my Dad from his short experience.

My dad is now 91 and has been in the care of the staff at Ebor Court for over three and a half years now. He has progressive vascular dementia and can be grumpy and aggressive at times. He is very confused but the staff are wonderful with him and I always feel he is in a safe, caring place.
I often
leave after visits upset by his condition (dementia) as this is not the dad I knew but the staff always check I am OK as well as reassuring me of dad's care. I always feel they love him even though he is pretty awkward at times and am eternally grateful that these wonderful carers are there for Dad at a time when he is incapable of many/most of the things he used to do for himself.

My wife has been into Ebor Court for respite care where I found first of all the staff were most friendly and helpful right from the start. My wife has been on two occasions now for respite and it is like a second home, all the staff have time to speak to you and they treat you as if they were our family.
The facilities are first class with lots of room to move about and everywhere is spotless. I would have no hesitation to recommend Ebor Court to anyone looking for care for their loved ones.

I do not think the mix of residents with physical and mental challenges on the same floor was always appropriate but when staff and management were made aware they did try to resolve specific issues. But Ebor Court are wonderful in their level of care and compassion and we as family of a resident became
part of "their family" very quickly. It is very hard to relinquish daily responsibilities of a cherished mum to strangers but 2nd-floor staff proved a safe pair of hands. Regular staff soon got to know mum and us and it was important to have that continuity, always available to answer questions - keep us updated and offer advice and that vital link between Dr's and changed medication and what that entailed. Nothing was too much trouble- we never felt in the way. As end of life was obvious the staff were outstanding and the night managers were amazing to the finish which will always remain with us. Would recommend Ebor Court to everyone and have in fact done so since 2017.

My mother appears to have settled in well at Ebor Court even though she has had to be moved already and there is talk of a further move ( not good for someone with dementia) As I live a good distance from York I have not been able to visit much however on the occasions I have been everything appears
to have been in order and satisfactory.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

I am thrilled that my mother has settled well into Ebor. The staff have made great efforts to encourage and include her and Christmas was very special. The choice and frequency of activities are excellent. All staff are thoughtful, kind and attentive. I am extremely happy with the catering and the encouragement
is given to residents to enjoy a cup of tea at any time of day. Visitors are always welcome and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy. The building is bright and airy. Rooms are kept clean but occasionally hand sanitizer and paper towels run out so a frequent check on these supplies would be appreciated. My only real concern is the laundry system. We are frequently not receiving my mother's laundry back despite it being labelled correctly. This is disappointing as it is a service included in the recent fee increase. May I suggest your laundry system requires review? Overall, well done to all staff at Ebor Court for creating a lovely, homely and safe environment.

From what I see from the day to day care my father receives, I feel the majority of the staff are doing their best for all the residents at Ebor Court. The staff are trying to spend quality time with residents but I have noticed they have never ending paperwork to try to fit in too!
I feel maybe there
aren't enough staff on duty at times. The care Dad gets is excellent, the carers seem to do their best to understand his needs, which can change hourly.
I would like to see more activities where residents are encouraged to join in more. Also maybe more small/short trips out for just coffee, these then wouldn't be too expensive and residents could maybe get out more often.
The meals sound very good, Dad says they are excellent on the whole, but there now seems to be a lack of homemade cakes available, as there was when he first went in.
I have noticed that on the whole, Dad receives excellent care and I feel confident that he is safe at all times, which is the main thing.

Reply from Helen Chermside, Customer Service Executive at Ebor Court

Thank you for taking the time to review Ebor Court. Ideal Carehomes appreciates all feedback about our homes and following your review would like to advise you that Staff complete mandatory paperwork during their shift, to ensure they are visible at all times for residents. We feel this is preferable to being off the floor. We agree that more homemade cakes should be available and when the new chef starts in early May, will be ensuring there are plenty for everyone. We hold monthly Social Committee Meetings with our residents to ensure the activities represent their choices and will forward your suggestions to our team at the home. Our Home Manager operates an open door policy and would be happy to discuss any concerns you have, next time you visit the home. If you would like to discuss further, please feel free to contact our Customer Services team on 0113 385 3570.

As my mother's health deteriorated it was agreed that she should stay at Ebor Court and not be moved to hospital. Her dementia was treated with dignity at all likes. The compassion shown to both herself and her family was excellent. The family were welcomed at any time.
We will always be grateful to
the care which she received at Ebor Court during her final days there. I would definitely recommend this care home to others.

When my grandmother moved into Ebor Court a year ago, we were thrilled with the staff, the building, everything. Since then the fees have increased by about 12% and it has gone from a CQC good rating to 'requires improvement', prominent staff appear to have left and they seem stretched. My grandmother's
room is not kept sufficiently clean, particularly the bathroom area and I do not get the number of updates about her that I used to get. The staff who work with the residents genuinely care and are really wonderful with them, but it's all the other little things that are missing (see the July CQC report for details) that makes me wonder whether we have made a very costly mistake in choosing Ebor Court.

The care that my husband has received during the 2 years he has been resident in Ebor Court has been excellent. He has been well cared for and the staff have on the whole been compassionate and caring. He is content and is full of praise for his care and the quality of the food which is very important
to him.


So I have already recommended this Care Home on many occasions to people and have no hesitation in continuing to recommend it.

Environment - In an industrial estate so not very prepossessing.
Ambience - As a new building, décor good, rooms small but satisfactory.
Staff - Home staff are very pleasant, but all seem to lack the empathy and joy , I have experienced visiting other care homes. Non availability of staff on reception
which means often long delays to enter/exit building.
Activities - The range of these is very poor for more mentally alert and intelligent patients. Many activities are geared to them with dementia. It was devastating at Christmas to find almost no effort had been made to mark this festival. No fun, no decorations to speak of, even Christmas dinner lacking essentials.
My Father - has settle din Ebor Court but resigns himself to a) Lack of his medication, b)lack of care, c) lack of activity d) lack of communication.

My experience of Ebor Court is a kind, caring and trusting environment all the staff that I have come in contact with have been top class. They look after my mum and other residents as if they were their family. Nothing is too much trouble. The only thing I would say is that I feel more staff is needed
to help the carers, maybe one or two, these ladies and gents work very hard for their wages, and it isn't easy with residents that have dementia and challenging behaviour, they are worth their weight in gold and the staff should be on £10 an hour.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.850)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.850) out of 10 for Ebor Court 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.850 for Ebor Court is calculated as follows: ( (233 Excellents x 5) + (39 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 273 Ratings = 4.85

  • 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 Ebor Court is based on 23 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 23 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.
