My mum has lived at the care home for nearly 2 1/2 years. The carers always make sure mum's needs are met in a caring and respectful way. Her room is kept clean and tidy as is the rest of the home. The new activity leader is excellent and makes sure the residents do stimulating activities. My only criticism
would be the head office speed of organising repairs. My mum's toilet broke and it took 2 weeks to repair and only after I had complained.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Augustus Court Care Centre

Thank you for your review regarding our home, and the positive comments. I apologise regarding the repair of the toilet which I now understand has been resolved and we will work to respond more promptly going forwards.

The staff try hard to look after the residents in a caring way. Sometimes when there is a shortage of staff it can be difficult for them to cover patients needs quickly. The new activities worker has lots of passion and enthusiasm to make each day has stimulating events for all. She is also keen to
raise funds for more activities.

It's always very sad when your loved one needs to move into the care system. My dad moved into Augustus Court just over a year ago. I can honestly say the care he has received has been exceptional. A very calm, caring environment.

Pleased with the way my mother in law is being looked after. The appointment of the new entertainment representative has made is making a real difference. She has some really good ideas but will need some financial support to carry some of them out!

Mum is a character who does not always agree to do the things that will help her. The care staff in AC have recognised this v. quickly and are extremely patient and caring despite the challenge. Mum says they are caring and kind 'lovely people' Praise indeed! Mum has not been well enough to join the
activities but they look good.

Mum and dad have moved into Augustus Court this month and we are all very happy with the care.
It is more like a hotel than a care home with very high standards.
Food is excellent, carers are all brilliant with my parents.
Mum is loving getting involved in all the activities. There is always something
going on for them.

Mum's experience is generally good, the staff are very good and helpful, management can let themselves down at times, a lack of procedures is worrying - eg no booking in, booking out of residents for appointments etc. Communication between staff is sometimes worrying with requests, needs or questions
not being passed on. Maybe a daily 'huddle' would assist.

Thank you for your review. We take all feedback very seriously and will work to improve communication in the home based on the information you have shared. Thank you.

Mum was in Augustus Court from December 2022 until May 2024. My sister and I have nothing but praise for the care given to her. We could visit at any time. Whenever we arrived Mum was showered and beautifully dressed and her room was spotless. She was extremely well fed and she was totally content and
well looked after. I remember her singing along when there was a concert downstairs, but the two things that stand out, were when Mum was 90 the home put on a little party for her and all her grandsons came to see her. The chef had put on a buffet and made her a fresh cream and strawberry birthday cake, her favourite. And once when we turned up to see Mum, she was being showered by one of the lovely carers. She didn't know we were there but the door was slightly ajar and she was singing to Mum while she was washing her hair and getting her ready. Thank you to all the staff for the care and love that was given, especially the upstairs staff, who always made us feel welcome.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.500)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.500) out of 10 for Augustus Court Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.500 for Augustus Court Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (175 Excellents x 5) + (124 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 316 Ratings = 4.5

  • 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 Augustus Court Care Centre is based on 27 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 58 registered maximum number of service users is 11.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
