My mum has dementia and is looked after very well by the team at Edwardstow Court. They really understand her needs and provide a supportive and caring environment. The facilities are excellent, rooms and all communal areas clean and tidy and nicely decorated. Recommended.

Dad has been well looked after and very comfortable throughout his stay in respite. Edwardstow has been professional, supportive and understanding of needs right from the first contact phone call. All staff have strived to encourage Dad to regain his independence. We have full confidence that he is

My mother has been a resident here for some time. She recently had a fall and was unwell. The staff dealt with the situation superbly with great sensitivity and expertise. Furthermore, they kept me informed throughout the ordeal. They are prepared to go beyond what might be expected, showing genuine
care not only to my mother but also towards her family!

Staff and management continue to be professional and helpful. It has not been easy for my aunt to adjust to her loss of mobility and dexterity and to accept she needs two carers plus a hoist to get out of her bed or chair. Waiting for two carers is frustrating for her, although staff response time is
generally good. The carers are kind and patient with her deteriorating memory. Despite lacking dexterity my aunt largely feeds herself, although she finds it difficult, it allows her a tiny degree of independence. My aunt assures us she never goes hungry and really enjoys the food. My aunt does not join many activities preferring the quiet of her own room and comfort of her own chair. Communication at Edwardstowe has improved in recent months. Edwardstowe remains a good, well-run care home.

Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Edwardstow Court

Thank you for taking the time to share your aunt's experiences of Edwardstow and for your feedback. The team really does love to hear it! We're glad to have your aunt with us and that she's able to do as much or as little as she chooses with the activities - we're happy to support her with whatever she wants.

We knew as soon as we looked around Edwardstow that it would be a good place for Mum. It was so full of light; colourful furnishings and smartly decorated. Once Mum was in and we got to know the staff, it just confirmed our decision was the right one. Without exception, all the staff, from all departments,
are so friendly and caring. So kind to Mum, and the rest of the family, and always respectful of the fact that her room is her private space.
She looks forward to her meals, and with good reason, the quality and variety of food is excellent. She has made good use of the balcony, sitting out in the sun, with the independence of being able to access it on her own, and enjoyed being taken down into the garden for group activities.
She has settled in well, which is all we could ask for, as it puts our minds at rest that she is being well-cared for, in a place of safety, that we can visit as often as we wish.

In an ideal world, we would have kept our 98-year-old mother at home with carers but it came to a point where she needed 24-hour care after three falls at home. We looked at other local care homes but immediately we visited Edwardstow Court we felt it was right for mum. The building is so light with
lovely decor. Whilst mum initially didn't understand why she was there and wanted to go home, after three months she has settled well and is content and feels safe. All the management and carers are excellent and we feel reassured that mum has company and is in the very best place for her. We visit very often as we live nearby and feel we are part of the team looking after her.

My friend has great difficulty feeding herself and appears to have lost weight. She has very poor use of her hands and has lost her grip. She needs help with food which she rarely gets.

My husband said that he had enjoyed being in Edwarstow Court as everyone there was kind and friendly. One person there made him laugh, and they got on well. His room was comfortable and looked very nice, and he particularly liked looking out the window at the trees outside. The food was excellent, and
he enjoyed helping the staff where possible.

Reply from Helen Dearing, On behalf of the team at Edwardstow Court

Thanks for your review. We are so pleased to hear that your husband enjoys living with us at Edwardstow, has settled in well and enjoys socialising with the other residents. Do come and say hello next time you visit. Many thanks

This was our first visit to see my uncle. The home looked amazing from the outside and was all decorated for the jubilee celebrations. We had issues with travel and the home manager came to get us from the local train station. On arrival, we were offered lunch, which was absolutely amazing a range of
cold meats and salad with lots of different added bits like beetroot and pickles. We had a lovely visit in the cafe and our relative loves living at Edwardstow Court.

My sister and I were very concerned about putting our mother into care as she is a very independent person, but she needed a safe environment which could handle her dementia condition. The carers understood her needs and work around and respect her personality and needs. I highly recommend this establishment,
the staff are absolutely amazing, kind professional and completely there with the residents all the time.

My father has lived at Edwardstow Court for three years and his and our experience has been extremely positive. There are lots of positive things, such as the quality of the rooms, the excellent food, the garden and the nature path. The fundamental things for me are the wonderful staff, the quality
of care they provide and the high level of respect they share with everyone.

We are grateful that Mum has been safe and secure for the 4 months. Meals - she often didn't know what she was getting until it arrived. When she did see a menu the meal delivered was frequently not what she ordered. She was only invited to join activities a couple of times in 4 months. Very little
opportunity for mum to be helped in increasing her mobility. Communication across the home could be greatly improved. Contact with GP and medical care was good. We realise that covid has affected staff levels and services usually provided.

I count myself lucky that Edwardstow Court is just 5 minutes drive away and that they could take my wife in as a resident just before the first covid lockdown. We already knew the place as we had been going in to join the singing group which they held there and so were familiar with the friendliness
of the staff and the quality of its design and finish of the building and so had no hesitation in deciding that this was the right place for my wife.

My father was a resident for a short space of time during the second phase of lockdown. Unfortunately, the standard of care was not in line with that which we as a family was led to expect upon our initial dealings with the home. In particular, the communication with us by the management left us disappointed.
An example of this was that he was transferred to a hospital without our knowledge and without essential items. Whilst the facilities and setting seem good, in our experience, the care itself needs to improve.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.597)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.597) out of 10 for Edwardstow Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 29 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 4.597 for Edwardstow Court is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 340 Ratings = 4.597

  • 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 Edwardstow Court 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, 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.
