Our mother recently stayed at Abbotswood Court, during her first respite stay, for 11 days. My sister and brother-in-law had put the research work in as I live a fair distance away. They reported all that I wanted to hear before we booked.
From the booking being confirmed, through the pre-visit meeting
to the first day everything that they had reported happened exactly as we were promised. They handled every detail of our mother's and our concerns and had clearly briefed all staff.
During the stay my sister was largely out of contact so it was especially important that I was able to communicate with our mother with ease. I was given full contact details for all key personnel who responded quickly if needed - however, I rarely needed to ask any questions.
I was able to call daily with ease, speak to a welcoming receptionist who would find our mum quickly handing her either a portable phone or connecting to the one in her room. Everyone was exceptionally friendly and kind.

It's like a 5* hotel, every mod con. A good library room and separate television lounge. The building is new and well laid out. There are activities to do, very well organised. Staff are all very good, both with conversation and actions. An excellent rest home!e

Our mother has recently had her first 'short stay' / respite period in Abbotswood Court. I cannot speak highly enough of the total experience.
From the initial enquiries, the pre visit meeting, throughout the stay and departure everything has been of an excellent standard. The facilities are superb,
the ethos ideal and all the staff friendly, thoughtful and experienced.
I would not hesitate to use again and high recommend to others.

My aunt spent three months at Abbotswood recuperating after a serious illness, as an inpatient with the neuro-rehabilitation team. The Abbotswood team were responsive, caring, helpful and expert. I felt my aunt was in safe hands and that nothing was too much trouble. The team worked with patience, sensitivity
and skill, encouraging my aunt so that she made a great recovery whilst staying at Abbotswood. It's lovely, spacious, bright building with an upbeat, attractive feel.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.954)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.954) out of 10 for Abbotswood Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.954 for Abbotswood Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (397 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 416 Ratings = 4.954

  • 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 Abbotswood Court Care Home is based on 35 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 35 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.

Lea Wintle

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2017

I have been working in care for over 20 years and have held a range of positions from Support Worker / Carer to Registered Manager. My experience is with learning disabilities and elderly care, including dementia and palliative care. I love the satisfaction of making a positive difference, however great or small, in the life of someone less able than I am, at whatever stage of life they have reached.


Whilst working in care, I have been lucky enough to receive several awards. In 2005, I was the runner-up in the National Registered Managers category of the National Care Awards and a Local Hero Award for Outstanding Achievement in Care run by the Salisbury Journal and Spire FM. I am proud of both these achievements.

What I do


As Deputy Manager I work closely with Lea as part of the management team. My previous role was Dementia Manager here at Abbotswood Court and I continue to directly support residents and families of our dementia community. I regularly meet with our residents’ families and with Lea ensure families are as much a part of Abbotswood Court as the residents themselves.


My experience


Since completing my Master's degree in Person-Centred Care in Dementia, I have had 16 years’ experience of supporting people living with dementia across a range of age groups.


About me


I joined Abbotswood Court in 2016 and I strive to educate people, particularly families of those living with dementia, to recognise the positive impact of focusing on the abilities the person still has, rather than dwelling on the abilities they have lost. I am passionate about everyone being treated as an individual, continuing to develop the atmosphere of person-centred care at Abbotswood Court and encouraging my Care Team to achieve the best possible care.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2018

I’m a Registered Nurse in the Philippines and worked for 5 years in a Hospital before I moved to the UK and worked in a Nursing Home for 10yrs as a Shadow Nurse before I joined Abbotswood Court in October 2015. I have achieved different qualifications in Care for the past 16 yrs.


Being part of the Abbotswood Team has helped me grow and becoming Deputy Manager has made me feel so proud and is a dream come true!


My journey at Abbotswood started as a Senior Carer with a promotion to Team Leader and now as Deputy Manager which I enjoy every single day, challenging but I love challenges!


I have so much passion for working and looking after Elderly people as it reminds me of my Grandma whom I’m very close to. I enjoy most looking after people living with Dementia, seeing them smile makes me happy. I love to make a difference in their life.


I look forward to seeing Abbotswood Court be one of the best among the rest in delivering care to our lovely residents


If I’m not at work, I make sure I spent quality time with my family. We go out and do window shopping or eat out together. I like taking my 3 children out either for play or just to be together. This is our happy time or sometimes a lazy day at home, in bed together and ordering takeaways!
