All the carers are kind, cheerful and understanding of the resident's circumstances.
Early days for my dad but I am happy that he is in a safe and secure environment with carers available 24 hours a day - night times were a problem at home.

Having been to other care homes in the past, this was by far the best. The staff were very obliging and attentive, the food was excellent, with a varied menu. I am hoping they can have me again for respite care.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Edwardstow Court is outstanding on two counts: the quality of its care staff and the physical surroundings in a purpose built home with a high standard of finish.


The care staff are, without exception, cheerful, considerate and very patient. They are highly attentive and offer personal care to

each resident tailored to their needs.


The en-suite rooms are well-appointed and the public spaces are light, airy, well-decorated and immaculately kept. The design has been very well thought out.


Its limitations at the moment are solely a function of its newness. Because it is still far from full, the current range of activities is limited and the lounges and different activity areas are under-exploited. When the home is working nearer to capacity, it will be a very good residential home.


Thoroughly recommend.

The meals were absolutely wonderful, the furnishings are wonderful. The bed was really comfortable. The facilities are excellent and all I needed. Moving in was reasonably easy. I enjoyed the activities including the police dogs and the singing even though I was slightly out of tune. I will definitely
be back.

This care home is just lovely. Every need that anyone living here could want and know they will be looked after very well. Beautiful, well equipped rooms - hairdressers, cafe (where you can help yourself), nice garden with a gazebo. The staff we came across were all really nice, polite and very helpful.

The whole family are really impressed with this newly opened care home. Activities aren't limited to the activities coordinator playing games/singing songs. All staff are encouraged to be involved. My Mother in law, who has Alzheimer's disease, loves to help the housekeepers and carers; she likes
to do 'normal things' e.g. fold socks, empty the dishwasher, lay the table, help in the garden. Of course, she also enjoys playing games, singing, dancing. This care home does all these things for her. She started visiting as daycare and is now in ongoing respite which will probably be permanent. She is so happy there. Any minor teething problems were dealt with quickly and not ignored. We couldn't be happier.

My father moved to Edwardstow two weeks ago and I am very pleased with the care he receives. Independency is very much encouraged. Lovely atmosphere, beautiful well-furnished rooms. Wonderful caring staff, well managed, cannot recommend enough. My father has settled in very well.

My mother with advanced dementia who will be 83 this month has had all the care and attention and provision for her that we could wish for. Being a new home is obviously a plus, all modern, up to date facilities etc. The newly thrown together staff team are working well.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.596)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.596) 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.596 for Edwardstow Court is calculated as follows: ( (218 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (23 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 317 Ratings = 4.596

  • 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 25 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 25 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.

The team at Edwardstow Court and the wider OSJCT team have supported me to progress from Cook to Head Chef, to Bursar, to Bank Care Leader, to Deputy Home Manager and most recently, in July 2024, into the General Manager position.”


Having worked in a variety of roles throughout the home, Matt fully understands the support Edwardstow Court provides, and it is something he takes a lot of pride in.


“I've always been interested in work that involves helping others and making a positive impact. I enjoy being an active member of my community and helping people. Each day is different and the joy I get from a simple thank you when I have helped a resident, or their families makes me feel I have made a difference.”


Matt also takes pride in the recognition that OSJCT gives to himself and his colleagues at their annual Trust Recognition Awards. “The Trust Recognition Awards in 2022 was a particularly proud moment for me. We had four team members who received nominations with 3 eventual winners and 1 runner-up.”
