I find my mother's care at Edwardstow completely satisfactory in every way. Although, I assume that due to exceptional Covid-19 protection; access is limited and a little strained at this time (Oct 2021).

My mother went to Edwardstow for a period of respite. She is very frail and anxious. From the start, the staff were welcoming and reassuring, going to great lengths to try to help my mother feel better and cared for. When she became more confused, they acred professional and immediately sought appropriate
medical help.

My elderly father was discharged from the hospital with a recommendation he should become a full-time care home resident. He didn't engage with hospital staff, and I think rather depressed. Within a week of residing at Edwardstow Court, he was noticeably livelier, and now several weeks later, is very
contented and enjoying the food and the personal care he receives from the truly excellent staff. It is a huge weight off my mind to know that he is being cared for so very well, and as a visitor, I am so welcomed by all of the friendly staff, who keep me fully informed of my dad's day to day activities.

I looked into Edwardstow Court as a nursing home for my father during the lockdown. I was very impressed with the level of professionalism and advice that was provided prior to his arrival. I was shown around the nursing home on a virtual tour. I was given all the information and support I required
to make the decision to relocate my father, which was a very complex situation. Since his move to Edwardstow, he has thrived. He has been given the independence he lacked and been shown the respect he deserves. I am continually delighted by the innovative and interesting ways that the staff make his day to day life more interesting; a virtual cruise, a visit from a shetland pony, to name but a few! The staff are kind, patient and respectful. I could not have made a better choice, and I am relieved that he is in such good hands, particularly under the current Covid restrictions.


A big thank you to all concerned.

This is an excellent modern care home that supplies state-of-the-art dementia care. It is very effectively managed. Staff appears highly motivated and well-trained. Communication with relatives is outstanding. Every effort is made to enrich the residents' lives while essential health care is carefully
managed as well. All in all outstanding place.

Excellent care from start to finish, even accommodating a COVID test a few days beforehand so that my mother would not have to be confined during her week of respite care. The staff were all knowledgeable, courteous and supportive, answered questions fully and catered for my mother's individual needs.
The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and well-kept. Although unable to visit, we had a video tour so my mother could see the room where she would be staying, as well as the different sitting areas and outside areas. I would thoroughly recommend Edwardstow Court.

All the staff are kind, caring and respectful. My mother had a lovely comfortable room and was allowed to decide what she wanted when she wanted it and how. Even the kitchen/cooks would look after her requirements even though it wasn't standard 5 Brussell Sprouts per day with her main meal. Mum and
Dad always saved "for a rainy day" so mum was in a position to self-fund.

For a variety of reasons I have been to a lot of hospitals and living here instead is heaven. The carers don't bug me but are here when I need them. I've found great friendship. I can use the word comfort but that doesn't begin to touch it. I'm just really lucky.

The care at St John's Edwardstow Court is exemplary. My father had stayed at one other care home and visited several. He said he would never want to be in another. St John's Edwardstow Court was the best, in his experience.

My husband attends twice a week and benefits from the daycare facility. He enjoys coming to Edwardstow, as he receives an outstanding level of care at all times. The staff are, without exception, kind and considerate at all times, and treat my husband with respect. I receive the same level of kindness
- nothing is too much trouble. The staff and management go out of their way to make both, my husband and myself, feel valued.

From the day Dad arrived at Edwardstow to the day he became ill and was taken to hospital, the care he received was amazing. There were difficult times as my dad frequently asked to go home but his dementia prevented this. The staff were hugely supportive to my sister and I throughout his stay.
I will
never forget their patience and calm understanding along with continued kindness.
Thank you.

There could not be a better place for them both. It is the best care home I have ever been in and the staff are wonderful. They have time for us as a family as well as my parents, which is much appreciated.

My mother was the very first resident to move into Edwardstow when it opened in April 2018. She passed away peacefully this month after a very, very happy and content 16 months residence in a dementia household.
She had vascular dementia and required high levels of dementia and personal care to
maintain her dignity and happiness. This care was provided by all staff to a very high standard. I cannot express enough how overwhelmed I always was with the care shown by all staff and the support they provided to me through my mother's stay and since her passing.

My husband, who has had Alzheimer's for 10 years now, has stayed at Edwardstow Court on three occasions for respite. I cannot tell you how relieved I am to have found somewhere so caring and welcoming to both of us. Even the chef came out to welcome my husband on his return. Everything is catered to
his needs and all the staff are just wonderful, giving me confidence that my husband is well looked after. I only wish they would accept National Health funding as our resources are much depleted.

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.
