I heartily recommend Acer Court. Most of the staff there exceeded the requirements for carers. My mum has become a very demanding resident due to the onset of dementia, but the staff put up with her and treat her with respect.
Mum enjoys the events they put on, even though she doesn't always attend
them.
Thank you.
PS, can I say you could not have got a bubblier, more professional receptionist!

Acer Court is a lovely home, peaceful and well maintained. My mother moved here a couple of years ago, and I know she is in a safe and caring environment. The staff are very friendly and caring. As a family, we feel contented that Mum is getting the best care for her needs, as I myself have worked in
similar premises. I value the way Mum is free to venture out into the garden and feel free to an extent. 10/10 for everything.

Communication from management I feel could be improved. Attended relatives' meeting in June, items mentioned on agenda, no further update received. Finding postal items are not being received eg postcards, new hearing aid. Finding we have to ask and investigate rather than our relatives' needs communicated
to us.

Staff are very friendly, helpful, and always willing to answer questions. Mum has settled in well despite concerns of moving in. This has to be a reflection of how well the staff care for her. The only point from a relative perspective is better communication from the home would be appreciated.

My mother died end of February after over six years at Acer Court. My mum got reasonable care in those years. However, I have been very disappointed with the complete lack of interest in my mum after her death from dementia. We got a hastily written condolence card in her Room two days after her death
as we collected her belongings. I informed them of her funeral arrangements and said if anyone wanted to write a few words to email them for inclusion in the funeral. This email was ignored and there has been zero interest from the home or any show of respect at her passing, despite telling them to stop sending me the weekly activities sheet I am currently still receiving them.

Reply from Noor Khan, Home Manager at Acer Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare

Thank you for reviewing Acer Court Care Home in Nottingham. Please accept our condolences on the passing of your beloved mother. She was a highly valued member of our care community and deeply missed by all. I would like to offer my sincere apologies that you feel we have not met your expectations, and we have looked into your concerns. Please contact the Home Manager to discuss this further. Best Wishes, Noor Khan

Mum has been in hospital recently. Prior to being admitted the home kept me updated on her health and called me on her wellbeing when she was in hospital. They care deeply for her and also she missed them whilst she was in there. This shows the friendships and bonds that are formed.

Greeted by friendly, helpful staff. If any problems occur (eg falls) am contacted by the home regarding this. A varied choice of activities and entertainment is available if participating is desired. Meals are varied and served promptly. During lockdown, due to covid-19, testing was always readily available.
During the difficult times, overall a satisfactory home for residents to spend their time in.

Like many people (I expect) I was very nervous about finding a care home for my Mum. After careful research, Acer Court was on my shortlist. When I visited it immediately 'felt right'. Two and a half years later I know I made a good decision. I am very pleased with Acer Court. Are they perfect? No -
who is? But they are very good with all the important things and my Mum is safe and well cared for.

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.
