My wife moved in Cannon Court nearly a month ago moving from a different care home, where so was undergoing NHS CHC assessment. I am delighted with the whole experience at Cannon Court, from transition from her previous home to here. The building is excellent and all the staff are so supportive of my
wife, who can be quite difficult at times. I attend every day to see my wife and my personal observations are that staff perform their roles with real empathy and support the residents with their individual needs. There is a good link with the local GP surgery and I am kept up to date on all developments.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Canning Court Care Home

I would like to thank all the staff at Canning Court Care Home for looking after my mother. We are moving her to be nearer to me. The staff have gone out of their way to make mum and her family feel welcome and supported. One member of staff in particular went above and beyond to help us move mum into
Canning at very difficult time.
Many thanks again from all her family.

When it comes to individual departments, they are very professional, not only to residents but to relatives as well. I am very well informed, along with my family, about my brother's health, medication and moods. I am kept well informed of any changes in his moods and care.

I am very pleased with the care my husband receives at Canning Court, it's evident that the staff have taken the time to get to know him and recognise his character and personality, they speak warmly about him which is so reassuring. There is a lovely calm atmosphere. The activities are so important
for the residents and it's great to see him engaging with these when I visit and reassuring to see him taking part in these when I'm not there through social media photos. The meals are also of good quality with lots of encouragement for him to eat, which is a positive as his appetite has decreased as his illness has progressed.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Canning Court Care Home

Thank you for your lovely review. We are very happy to hear you can feel at ease with your husband in our care.

When visiting our friend in the care home, my husband and I have always been very impressed with the calm atmosphere, the attention paid to residents by the staff and the patience shown by all of the staff. We visit 2-3 times each week and are welcomed by name, often by more than one of the carers.
Whenever our friend (the resident) rings the bell, it is answered quickly and the carers are always reassuring. It is a pleasure to visit and we feel like 'one of the family'.

When we first visited Canning Court it looked clean, modern, and comfortable. My husband was there for a year and I couldn't praise the staff enough. I visited almost every day and always found the staff to be welcoming and friendly. It was a pleasure to go there. I always felt that he was well looked
after by everyone there. I would like to mention how lovely and kind the doctor was when she came to see him. Although his last year was very difficult, I was so pleased that we had chosen Canning Court.

At first, things were difficult because my husband went into the care home during the lockdown and I couldn't visit him because of the restrictions, it was hard for both of us. But eventually, things changed and he settled in well. He was cared for well and always enjoyed his food. Even when he developed
other health problems nothing was too much for the carers. I have always appreciated how well he was looked after, I couldn't have done it myself.

We found on moving here on August 28th a very nice room waiting for us. The staff were very good and helpful in explaining to us and answering our questions. We were also shown the lounges and dining room. The laundry was a little 'hit and miss' to begin with but now is very good and housekeeping staff
are very helpful. Meals are usually varied and presented well. There is always a choice of two main courses. Could do with an extra person to help with people who require help to eat etc. All in all, we feel happy and safe with the care provided.

Mum is being cared for very well. The staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. However, they are always very busy. Could probably do with an extra member of staff on the floor, maybe to be able to interact with the residents more when they are upset and stay with them for a while.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.567)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.567) out of 10 for Canning Court Care Home 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 29 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 4.567 for Canning Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (108 Goods x 4) + (20 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.567

  • 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 Canning Court Care Home is based on 29 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 29 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.

I progressed through the company and managed a service in Milton Keynes, which supported adults to live independently. After a while though, I missed the community feel of a care home, the residents and working in a team.


I live in a village just 25 minutes from the home with my husband, our son and daughter, our working cocker spaniel and 2 chickens! I love being outside, running and keeping fit and all kinds of food, but especially chocolate!
