My sister and I feel that Mum is well cared for and her needs are met.
The home has managed her challenging behaviour well, where other care homes couldn't.
We understand that Mum gets involved with some activities, however, it would be nice to hear about this at the time and not when we go and visit.
Maybe
a newsletter would be a good idea to keep relatives informed of relevant news relating to their loved one.

My mum has been at Alma Court for just over a year and I felt I had to write and say how fantastic you all are.
From the moment you walk through the entrance you are greeted with a warm welcome and a smile by everyone.
All the staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. All the staff
are very easy to talk to and will answer any questions I might have about Mum in a sensitive and professional manner.
There are lots of activities from wonderful singers to sitting in the garden having an ice cream on a sunny day.
Alma Court is a 'home' in every sense.
Residents are treated with love, care and respect, everything you would wish for for your loved one.
I cannot speak highly enough about Alma Court and would highly recommend it.

My brother has been in Alma for over a year now and our family continue to be grateful to the amazing team at Alma who support and care for him. I took my brother to the national football stadium to watch Brazil v England as he was invited. The team at Alma went above and beyond to support the trip,
one of the staff even came to support him for the day. l will be eternally grateful to them for all they did to make this day happen. This dream day could never have happened without their support and care for my brother.

My sister has been a resident since July 23. Up till now the management and staff have been excellent in help, information and care. Their manners and politeness have been extremely helpful to us and my sister. Helping all of us to cope with the situation. Therefore all I can say is a very big thank
you to the care staff and nurses.

I recently had the privilege of visiting my relative at Alma Court and I must say, it left an extraordinary impression on me. This care home is a true gem that embodies compassion and comfort in every aspect.
From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The staff members were not only professional but also genuinely caring and attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure that each resident is treated with the utmost dignity and respect.

We visited several care homes in the area and decided that Alma Court was the perfect place for our dad. The bedrooms are clean, the home feels like exactly that, a home, as a result of the people who work there. There is always something going on, a panto or exercise class, along with other activities
also. The manager and staff too are very helpful and caring.

Where to begin. We are so happy with the care that Mum receives and can not thank everyone at Alma enough. The manager is kind and approachable, nothing being too much trouble. This is clearly reflected in the staff team as each and every staff member always say hello and see if we need anything. Thank
you Alma Court.

From the manager to the cleaners, everyone cares and nothing is too much trouble. My mum was in a 'premium' home before and Alma Court knocks the socks off that. No amount of expensive wallpaper can ever beat regular, caring staff who look after Mum and the extended family when they visit. Thank you
everyone at Alma Court. We really appreciate all you do.

I had no experience of dealing with a care home so did not know what to expect. The care my Aunt received was first class. Nothing was too much trouble for the care staff who always had a smile on their face and a cheery disposition. They were so attentive to her which put my mind at rest as she was
so reluctant to go into a care home but for safeguarding reasons there was no alternative and the wonderful staff made the process so much easier. I would highly recommend Alma Court Dementia Care Home.

I've been meaning to write this for some while. But the care my mother received was second to none. Being so far away, it was reassuring that I knew Mother was well cared for, not only that, the home cared for my father during his weekly visits. I got to visit the home too and I must say, everyone was
so welcoming, with smiles on their faces which goes a long way to helping you feel welcome.

Could not fault the care provided. Staff and management are helpful when we needed them. The rooms were clean. The food was okay. Outside space is limited but used, which is nice. The staff made us all feel welcome. Thank you.

I can't thank Alma Court enough for the care they have given to my Dad. He was treated as a person not just a man with Alzheimer's. I felt the staff knew him and really cared about him. The care he received at the end of his life was first-class. The staff not only looked after Dad but me and my brothers.
It certainly makes the pain of his loss easier to bear knowing he was so well looked after. As a family, we will never forget the staff at Alma Court and their dedication and kindness.

Alma Court couldn’t have taken better care of my late Nan. The manager and his team looked after my Nan and the rest of the family exceptionally well with care and love throughout. Would recommend for anyone with a family member with dementia.

My father in law has been with Alma Court for over a year. In that time we have found a home that cares for everyone, including my husband and I, from the friendly greeting from reception to the caring manager. The activities are now on 7 days a week. This home just cares. The staff have a tough job
looking after my father in law, he had to move out of the last home due to being aggressive. Everyone at Alma Court takes this in their stride with a smile on their face. The staff should be proud of what they do. Thank you Alma Court.

Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. It is so reassuring to know that the care they give is first class and that they care so much about their residents. They always have a friendly smile.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.584)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.584) out of 10 for Alma Court Dementia Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.763 for Alma Court Dementia Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.763

  • 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 4.821 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Alma Court Dementia Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 11 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 67 registered maximum number of service users is 13.4. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.4 = 0.821

  • 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.
