My late Mother spent the last three months of her life at Charles Court. She was almost blind with epilepsy and Alzheimer's. She had reverted to her Italian language but the staff went the extra mile to try and communicate and comfort her in her own language. The staff from the HCA's to the management
were exactly who you would want to look after your most loved one.

I was so happy to see my friend so happy. When she first came here she was so low and ill. She has told me that nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff. My friend has her hair done regularly and is so much like her old self. Thank you all for your hard work.

I have found Charles Court in Hereford to be the most caring and professional place. My aunt could not wish for better.
The staff are diligent and thorough but always with a friendly, personal and very human touch.
Nothing seems to be too much for them; whether in caring for my aunt and her changing
needs as her condition progresses; or in supporting me and her family helping us cope with her illness.
My aunt has given the team at Charles Court challenges as her health has declined. At every stage I am kept up to date with what is going on and how they intend to handle it. Their calm professionalism and understanding of the situation is always reassuring.
From the receptionist at the front door, to the nursing and care staff, the activities coordinator and right up to the home manager, I feel everyone has my aunt's best interests at heart and they have got to know her and me.
This all makes having a relative in a care setting much easier to handle.

Thank you Charles Court Care Home for the exceptional care you have shown my mum. As nominated visitor it was fantastic to be back in seeing Mum in person - she looks well, tidy, has put on weight and no different to now we last saw her, pre-Covid. The communication regarding visiting has been fantastic
and we've been looked after well.

My Mum has been a resident of Charles Court for 2 years following three years of age-related ill health, in and out of the hospital. Since then her health has improved enormously, fresh regular meals and the care and attention from staff have given her her life back. A recent problem was swiftly dealt
with by the nursing staff, and I was kept up to date by telephone. During this particularly difficult time, with the Covid-19 situation, it is reassuring to know that she is well and in good hands.

My mum came to Charles Court with dementia following a fall. The care she received in the final months of her life was excellent. The staff were caring, compassionate and treated her with dignity and respect. Importantly they also supported us over a difficult time, keeping us fully informed and involved
to the end. We are grateful for the care and comfort they provided.

Mum was offered a room for 2 weeks respite following many weeks in hospital. In just one week, she has improved beyond my expectations - she's being dressed - eating and drinking and so much more alert, all thanks to the team at Charles Court.

Both my mother and father were in Charles Court. My father passed away in the very early hours of today after circa 4 months in Charles Court.
Throughout, he had received the most caring and attentive care. All the staff, including management, have been so happy in their work and is the type of home
you hope your parents will utilise. We are more than happy that my mother will receive happy support in the future. It must be hard for staff at many times but they always remain willing.

My wife has been a resident at Charles Court for 30 months, she suffers from severe Lewy Body dementia. Her care and nursing support are excellent and cannot be bettered. Her personal carer is wonderful and so caring with her. Their relationship is second to none and this is helping my wife with her
illness and long may it continue. Without this care, her life would be very difficult for the family.

Current Review Score: 8.5 (8.520)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.5 (8.520) out of 10 for Charles Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 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 4.691 for Charles Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (41 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 55 Ratings = 4.691

  • 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 3.829 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Charles Court Care Home is based on 5 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 = 3.5

    • 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.2 = 0.329

  • 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.
