We felt very welcomed from the moment our mother went to live at Sutherland Court. The staff are very confident in their jobs, and we have complete trust in them to support our mother in every aspect of her care. They show great kindness to her and her family.
They have lots of activities and interaction,
and everything is inclusive for all.
The home is extremely well kept and is a very pleasant place to visit.

My mum has been in Sutherland Court for 6 years and our family feel we have her in the best care home. The staff are excellent and go above and beyond to make sure the residents are loved and cared for. I have been able to build a great relationship with the staff so that I am able to work with them
to make sure my mum has everything she needs whether this is medical/health and safety intervention or just the small things that make her feel comfortable and safe. From the moment I walked into Sutherland Court I could feel the lovely family atmosphere they create, this is reflected in the décor and staff chatting and laughing with the residents. COVID has been a particularly difficult time for families with relatives in care but Sutherland Court have done an exceptional job of keeping my mum safe, arranging outdoor visits/Zoom calls where possible and have been great at keeping relatives up to date with any changes.

My gran is well looked after here. She misses having visits with her family due to the pandemic, but the Zoom chats and having an outgoing phone line have helped a lot. As did the garden visits when they were available.

My mum has been living in Sutherland Court for 7 years now. She is always treated with dignity, love and care by the excellent staff. Throughout the coronavirus crisis, they have shown great commitment, professionalism and compassion to my mum and to us. They have gone above and beyond what can be expected
of them. Mam continues to be happy there and although she can be difficult is treated with great patience. She enjoys the home baking and a great choice of well-cooked meals. The activities and entertainment provided are wonderful and have continued even during lockdown which I consider amazing. I have no hesitation in recommending Sutherland Court to everyone.

I have initially come in for respite care but expect to follow up as a resident. I was warmly welcomed and find everyone very helpful and understanding. The home itself is very well appointed and clean and has a pleasant garden.

From my first phone call enquiring about Sutherland Court, I had a good feeling. This has been a difficult year and Covid-19 has made it impossible to visit any care homes, however, a Zoom video visit/tour was quickly set up for me and I liked everything I saw; down to earth, caring and happy staff
and, more importantly, happy residents dotted around the place. Everything looked clean and organised and so Mum moved in within a couple of weeks. Since that time, I have had Zoom and garden visits with her, both of which have been very successful. She looks happy, brighter than before and well cared for, even her appetite has improved. Still early days, but I have no doubts that SC is a wonderful place staffed with really good people.

Both of my parents have been residents of Sutherland Court over the past three months - my Mam was there as part of her 'shielding' status and is now home. My Dad has dementia and is in Sutherland Court as a full time resident. During the COVID crisis, all of the staff have gone well above the expected
standard in ensuring that my parents have been well cared for. All of their (and our) needs have been met with compassion, care and courtesy. We trust your staff implicitly - no higher praise can be given.

From viewing the home with my mother, I was really impressed with the friendliness of the staff and the answers we received to our questions. Nothing was too much trouble to help make a major decision easier in where to spend both Mother and Father's twilight years.
From moving in at the start of February,
it continues on to this day, and they both love living there. The home is always spotless, my parent's rooms are immaculate, and has a real home from home feel as their own items are around them. I'd like to thank all of the staff for taking such good care of them especially during this pandemic.

Sutherland Court is a very warm and welcoming home where nothing seems to be too much trouble. Dad has been settled and at home since the day he arrived. He is extremely well cared for and supported. I have been extremely reassured by the quality of care he receives. The family are always made welcome
whatever the time of day. The staff are lovely, kind and caring and treat Dad with dignity, the way they would treat their own loved ones. I cannot recommend Sutherland Court highly enough.

Sutherland Court has a very caring and friendly atmosphere. Staff are responsive to residents' needs, take time to interact and respond immediately to any concerns. The manager's door is always open to family, and the wellbeing coordinator works hard to ensure that residents are always entertained.

My mother has lived in this care home for six years now. The care she has received in that time is excellent. The staff show her great respect and nothing is too much trouble. The food is good and varied and she particularly enjoys the home baking. The activities provided are well organised and very
enjoyable. It is very pleasant especially the Rendevous Coffee room where we can gather as a family and enjoy time together. Overall the home is very warm and friendly and the staff are too. It's a pleasure to visit.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.794)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.794) out of 10 for Sutherland Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 20 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 4.794 for Sutherland Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.794

  • 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 Sutherland Court Care Home 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, 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.
