Mam has been in Sutherland Court for over 18 months. During that time she has been treated with not just care, but love. Without exception the staff are pleasant and helpful and nothing is too much trouble.


I would have no hesitation to recommend the home to anyone who is looking for a home from

home for their loved one.

Staff very friendly and caring. Dad gets on with them well and they have a good relationship with him.


Surprised at the new rise in cost so soon after the last one. This being double the current inflation rate seems excessive and unjustified.

Went to see home for respite care. Mom enjoys herself and always looks clean, her room is a good size and the activities are varied and always on the go. The staff are always helpful. The garden and outside space is always kept well maintained. Glad that mom is happy, safe and there is always someone
there.

I have always found Sutherland Court to be clean, friendly and a happy place. The entertainment lately has been perfect. The residents love it, even my mother who was always a 'watcher' is joining in with the sing alongs etc.
10/10 to the entertainment manager.

I came into Sutherland Court at the beginning of November 2016. I have become quite settled and happy in the home. The staff and carers are all extremely kind and helpful and look after me very well. The building is situated in a pleasant garden setting and I am looking forward to Spring when the
trees and flowers come into bloom. I enjoy the meals and overall I feel the standard of care I receive is excellent.

Since arriving at Sutherland Court my Mum has improved in both physical and mental health and feel this is due in no small part to the positive and bright attitude of the staff. I have peace of mind for the first time in years and can now go to work knowing my Mum is safe and catered for.

My mam is enjoying her stay in Sutherland Court. She feels safe and well, she loves the activities and how the staff all look after her.


On a personal point of view, I now feel able to live my life without worrying that my mum is in danger of hurting herself while in the house alone.

After viewing a number of care homes, as soon as I entered Sutherland Court I knew that this would be the perfect place for my grandfather. From making the initial enquiry to moving in, everyone was so helpful and welcoming, making for an easy transition. Since becoming a resident, the staff have continued
to be caring and professional; nothing is a trouble. The home is safe, clean with excellent facilities and lovely gardens. My grandfather is very happy there and I have peace of mind knowing that he is being so well cared for.

We are always welcomed and everyone is so friendly. Mother-in-law is always well dressed, just like she was when she was independent. Her room is beautiful and her plants managed for her. We were delighted to arrive and use the new tea room. We had tea and cakes. The room was so roomy and homely.
We
shared a lovely tea and peaceful conversation. We feel so blessed to have found this home.

They all show great empathy and understanding to every resident and their guests. They make you feel greatly welcome and are very approachable.
Thank you to all the staff, who work so hard, for being so courteous and for their unquestionable support. You are all brilliant!

From visiting Sutherland Court for the first time I felt a wonderful atmosphere and this is achieved by the fantastic staff who work there. I really feel that my mother is being so well looked after. The staff are all excellent and treat her with respect. They work extremely hard but always have the
time to spend with my mother and to understand her needs and get to know her so building a great rapport with her. I couldn't praise Sutherland Court enough.

I cannot rate Sutherland Court highly enough. It brings a tear to your eye, it is so lovely, nothing is too much trouble for the staff they are very helpful, friendly and cheerful. They are helping my mum settle in lovely. Everything is spotlessly clean and tidy. The food is lovely with plenty of variety,

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.
