My mother has been a resident at Seccombe for four months now and has physical and medical issues, as well as accelerating dementia. Since a significant hospital stay a couple of months ago, her condition has become more challenging. The staff have done all they can to support and respond to her changing
needs. The care staff are extremely patient and encouraging when she is being uncooperative, emotional and distressed. We are very grateful for the kindness and professionalism of the care she receives and the friendly welcome that we experience every time we visit.

From my initial contact with Seccombe Court, I felt I was in safe and competent hands in respect of caring service to my mother. Everyone I spoke to and met gave me confidence that the Court would look after my mother very well. On my first visit, I was impressed by the facilities throughout the home,
including the garden areas which my mother would be able to enjoy. I was also pleased to see that the home would provide a range of activities in which my mother could participate. Whilst my mother's stay at the Court was sadly short, I was not let down in any respect, given my initial views. I met a number of members of staff who had dealings with my mother and who, without fail, went out of their way to care for her in a compassionate, respectful and professional manner. It is an exceptional organisation.

An excellent care home, whom I cannot recommend highly enough.
Management is professional and friendly, and all the team at Seccombe Court are exceptional at what they do. The carers and nurses are very friendly, compassionate and responsive to the needs of my father, who is in full nursing care. They
are very communicative and on the ball when providing care and ensuring Dad is well looked after.
The environment is comfortable, rooms are a good size and well set up, whilst the food seems excellent.

I cannot rate Seccombe Court highly enough. They have gone above and beyond for my mother and welcomed her and the whole family so warmly. They are all so friendly and caring, and my mother is happy here.
If I could rate them 10-stars, I would.
All staff, no matter their role, take the time to
talk to us when visiting, and they show such an interest in my mother's life before coming to reside at Seccombe.

There is consistency in staffing, which is reassuring to deal with the same people each visit - for family and for my mother, who has dementia. Calm atmosphere, good communication, prompt response to queries raised. Lovely outdoor area, which could probably be used more than it has been, on mild days.
So impressed by the level of care and concern of the home's manager - true compassion and commitment to the wellbeing of residents. Superb activities coordinator. Welcoming reception staff.

Since the first lockdown last March the staff at Gracewell of Adderbury have done the most amazing job in keeping all their residents, including my mum, safe and Covid free. Due to Government restrictions visiting has been difficult but the home has done all it can to enable Covid safe ways of communicating
and visiting for us all. I believe that all the staff have done everything they can to keep all residents safe, well looked after, and where possible with lockdown restrictions, active and entertained. My mum really has been in the best possible place since she first moved in at the start of February 2019. A big thank you to everyone at Gracewell of Adderbury - keep up the good work and we look forward to the time when we can all meet again face to face.

Reply from Arlene Acuavera, General Manager at Seccombe Court

The team here at Gracewell of Adderbury would firstly like to thank you for your kind words. We strive, as a team, to work closely with our residents so we can provide the very best care for each individual in our home, and we are glad to have made a difference. We look forward to welcoming you back to our home soon.

My mother has been a resident of Gracewell of Adderbury since it first opened. From the first point of contact with this care home, I have been impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of all staff. My mother has dementia and, as the condition has progressed, has become difficult for the
staff to handle at times. They have always been patient and caring and have done their best to suggest strategies to avoid her becoming distressed.
Whilst she seems to understand little of what is going on and is often reluctant to mix with other residents, the staff make an effort to include her in various activities. I was so pleased the first time I visited to find her engaged in creating bird feeders with the lovely lady who runs the activity programme, quite the opposite of her previous home which was more show than substance. The staff at Gracewell of Adderbury have been amazing during the pandemic and there has been a constant flow of information which has been very reassuring.

This is our first experience of a care home and it was entirely my mother's decision to move. Following our initial approach, admissions manager was very helpful in providing all the information we needed. Resident for a day did not happen due to sickness, but admissions manager instead spent over two
hours talking with and showing my mother around. Good understanding of needs in providing a good-sized room with plenty of natural light. A few hiccups since moving in (on some mornings no night staff available to shower Mum before breakfast, so she missed shower and had to dress without any assistance) but this appears to have been resolved.l In summary of first month: Mum has settled in very well; staff are very friendly and helpful; she is thoroughly enjoying meals; she has found a good number of 'like-minded people' in her household and is joining in with most of the activities. We would like to see more opportunities for her to get outside, but realise that we are going into the winter so this may bot be practicable in the immediate future.

Gracewell of Adderbury is a care home I am very pleased to recommend. It has a happy atmosphere, and all the staff are friendly and caring; the wellbeing of the resident is their focus. Particularly reassuring, was the sensitive way in which my husband's admission was handled. A visit to our home by
the home admissions advisor gave a thorough, detailed and unhurried description of the home and admission process. Clothes and personal effects collected that day to greet my husband's arrival along with a card, flowers and sweets.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.964)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.964) out of 10 for Seccombe Court 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.964 for Seccombe Court is calculated as follows: ( (213 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 221 Ratings = 4.964

  • 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 Seccombe Court is based on 19 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 19 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.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2022

I’ve been a General Manager for over ten years in other care homes. I worked my way up from care roles into management. I originally trained in management and marketing in my native Poland.


I was very positive about working for Care UK because it has a great reputation, and puts residents at the heart of everything it does. Its values of Caring, Passionate and Teamwork closely echo my own.


There’s always something new to learn and to tackle in this role, but there’s a solution to every challenge and, ultimately, seeing residents enjoying life here at Seccombe Court is what makes everything worthwhile. Knowing I’m making a positive impact on their lives is what motivates me. I’m very proud of the way the team delivers exceptional care to all residents and their loved ones. Seeing that every day makes Seccombe Court an amazing place to work.
