When first visited Acer Court was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. She couldn't do enough for us and was very helpful and full of knowledge, along with all the other staff. My father-in-law has settled into Acer Court with help from the staff, who have certainly made him feel at home. It was
a big move for him, but he has settled in well.

Reply from Katie Holloway, Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

At Acer Court, we pride ourselves on giving people a warm welcome when they enter Acer Court and staff are able to support you with their wealth of knowledge. We are pleased your father-in-law has settled in well and have staff supported him to feel at home.

Very impressed with the care home as a whole, my grandad has been in Acer Court for just over a month and is settling in well. The staff are very friendly and helpful towards his care and needs. He can't fault the food and says most days he has two puddings because they are so yum! The courtyard is
kept nice and tidy and is a lovely space for all the residents to enjoy with the budgies.

Reply from Katie Holloway, Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

We are pleased your grandad has settled in well to Acer Court, and we are pleased Grandad is eating well and enjoying his deserts. We do try to maintain the grounds well and this includes the Avery being as key focal point for all ages. Kind regards.

I would like to thank Acer Court Care Home for my mother's 90th birthday party. They provided a function room and refreshments with excellent sandwiches and drinks. This allowed my mother to see all her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and old neighbours. The function room had been decorated
by the carers and allowed for a party atmosphere. My mother who is usually asleep a lot, really perked up at the sight of all of us. She really enjoyed herself, as did my 91-year-old father and all of us. Well done Acer Court.

Reply from Katie Holloway, Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Acer Court always enjoys holding a party for our residents' birthdays. We are pleased your mother was able to spend the afternoon with her family/friends surrounding her and everyone involved enjoyed their afternoon. Best wishes, Katie.

I would like to thank Acer Court for their support in making my mother's 90th Birthday a special day for the whole family.
We asked Acer if it would be possible for the family (in total 20+, Children + Grandchildren + Great-grandchildren) to come and visit Mum on her 90th Birthday.
Acer's reply
was superb, they said they would set aside one of the lounges and lay on drinks and sandwiches for the event which was marvellous. Then, when we arrived, we found they had gone the extra mile to decorate to room blow up balloons and put part pops on the tables to make it feel like a party venue rather than a care home lounge.
I don’t know why I was surprised as this care home really does try to make it feel more like a home than a care home and make all the family feel welcome when we visit and part of the overall care home family.
Thanks to everyone who made celebrating this 90th achievement; a truly memorable day and looking after my mother so well.

Reply from Katie Holloway, Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

At Acer Court, we like to enjoy all residents and families get the full treatment. This allows time for you to relax and make special memories with your mother. We are so pleased you enjoyed your day with us. It's our privilege to look after your mother. Best wishes.

Nice new looking property, but at the end of the day a building is just a building, so it's the staff that turn a building into a warm, friendly home life atmosphere with their attitude and caring personalities towards the residents, visitors, and co-workers.

A pleasant place to spend time with family. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Common rooms are well laid out and accessible with a variety of games and activities. The food served to residents is of a high quality with extra precautions taken during the pandemic to help protect both residents
and staff. More like a hotel than a care home.

Since Mum was admitted to this establishment in August 2022, our family have nothing but praise for the well-being of Mum. Upon admission, Mum was in a bad, vulnerable state but her health and spirits were immediately lifted due to the ongoing care and attention whereby she is also treated as a family
member of the care home.
The staff here are absolutely amazing and clearly treat both residents and families as part of their own family. Mum now laughs at every opportunity.

Mum moved into Acer Court in October 2022. She had been in the hospital for four weeks and was very withdrawn three months later; she is a different person. She loves the activities and joins in with most of the activities. She loves singing, and she has a lovely room and ensuite. Mum has made friends
with other residents and enjoys meals in the dining room. All the staff are kind, caring and respectful. Visiting Mum is always enjoyable. I know I don't have to worry when I go home.

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.

I am from Stoke on Trent and I have worked in the healthcare industry for 18 years, completing most roles that you would find in a regular care home and working my way up to the manager role completing many qualifications along the way. My main experience, knowledge and background is in Dementia care and this is an area of care that I am most passionate about.


Outside of my career, I love to go to the gym Subsequently, this has led to me signing up for many charity events such as white-collar boxing, half marathons and various assault courses. I just love to help people, in any way I can.
