Mum moved into Acer Court in June. We were impressed with the place from day one, clean and spacious like a hotel. The staff have helped Mum to settle in, everyone is friendly and caring. We feel satisfied that Mum is being looked after well with dignity and respect.

This is without doubt, one of the worst run care homes I have had the pleasure of seeing.
Despite washing my dads feet daily nobody saw my dad's was 1/2 black and turning gangrenous toe, where the necrotic infection spread through his toe into other toes requiring immediate hospitalization. The surgeons
were unable to operate and my dad has to suffer daily with extreme pain in his infected foot, due entirely to lack of care.
They continue to owe my dad over £2000+ due to taking payments from myself and the council in overlapping periods, and have delayed and delayed the repayment of funds acknowledging they're owed for over 4 months.

Reply from Gemma Wallbanks, Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Dear Glen, I am so sorry to read your review about the dissatisfaction with the care your father has received at the home. I would like to offer you a sincere apology that you have felt the need to complain. All fees owed to your father have now been reimbursed to him and I am so sorry there has been such a delay in returning these funds. As the acting home manager, I am currently investigating your concerns and I will write to you formally in due course with my findings. Kind regards Gemma Wallbanks

Dad has recently moved to Acer Court following a difficult 2 years living alone in Birmingham.
He can be an awkward so-and-so, with exacting standards and unrealistic expectations at times, but the love, care and enthusiasm for life demonstrated by everyone on the team at the home have broken through
to Dad, and he has rediscovered a zest for life that is wonderful to see and very infectious. He loves ringing me to tell me what he has been up to, or what delights he has had to eat. I couldn't be happier because he is finding life so much better now.

Reply from Gemma Wallbanks, Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

I am delighted to read that your dad has found a new zest for life, living at Acer Court. He is a delight to care for with his sense of humour. Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review of the care experienced so far for your dad. Best wishes.

Mum has settled well, assisted by the caring staff. Even though she is on a special diet liquidised/pureed she always looks forward to meal times and her meals are tasty and well presented.
She is encouraged to join in activities and particularly enjoyed the Christmas Fayre that was organised and also
the singers that visit.
Communication between us and the home is excellent with regular updates. I have also noticed the 'little extras' e.g. a resident went to a family wedding and the staff bought lipstick and perfume for her and helped her to feel extra special.

The 'Bistro' evenings continue to provide a lovely opportunity for families to join their relatives for a great meal and social event. Equally good for my family as 'eating out' is no longer viable. All the staff at its care home care for and care about our mum.

I have nothing but praise for the care that Mum has received since arriving at Acer Court. The care, compassion, dignity and respect shown by each and every carer have not gone unnoticed. Mum is encouraged to join in activities but equally given her own space when wanted.

Acer Court is fabulous. The care my mother-in-law has been given is second to none. The home is always clean and tidy. The carers work so hard to keep all the clients comfortable, clean and well looked after. Even when my mother-in-law was on end-of-life care the love and respect shown not only to her
but the whole family was exceptional.

Activities that are organised are second to none. Stimulating and promoting physical activity.
Certain levels of care are met but need consistency, i.e. creat that needs to be used to prevent flare up of dry asking and infection. Check it is done both morning and night.
Check she is showering with
support on a daily basis.

Mum had been a resident at Acer Court for 3 years but when she had to apply for Local Authority funding due to depleted savings we were told that we had to pay a £55 top up charge. As we couldn't afford this amount we had to find a care home that would waive the top up fees. The new care home is marvellous
and made us realise how bad Acer Court had been over the years. My Mum was mentally alert so could tell us what she had seen and experienced herself and to other residents. The catalogue of things that had happened over the years are too lengthy to explain here but ranged from running out of medication and incontinence pads, unattended residents left in the lounge for long periods of time (which I witnessed and reported myself) to more serious incidents of bruising and falls. I had numerous meetings and kept a diary, which contained many pages of incidents. We also had to wait four months for Mum to be refunded monies she had overpaid. I would not recommend this care home at all.

I cannot thank the manager and all the staff at Acer Court for the help that they have provided not only for my dad but for me. They have provided my dad with a warm, safe place to stay. He always looks clean and well looked after. We are always made to feel very welcome when we visit. The home always
looks clean and tidy and is always warm and welcoming.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.616)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.616) out of 10 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.616 for Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (323 Excellents x 5) + (67 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 422 Ratings = 4.616

  • 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 Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 34 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 34 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.

Michelle Waterhall

Job Title: Customer Service Advisor

Joined: 2016

I have worked at Acer Court since March 2016. I began as a housekeeper and then progressed to care as I enjoyed helping the residents and reassuring them where needed.


I moved on to become a Customer Service Advisor in June 2021. As I enjoyed meeting people and want to help people where I can. I find my job rewarding as often people aren't sure about moving their loved ones into a care home and I feel I am able to support and reassure them. I enjoy completing my show rounds with the families and answering any questions where I can. I feel when families are looking for a care home this can be an emotional time for them and they need compassion and someone to listen and support them on their journey to find their loved one in the right place.
