Always polite and caring. The staff appear to put themselves out to acknowledge the client relatives and other visitors making visiting times very pleasant. I would not hesitate to encourage anyone I know to come to live at this home.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Hanford Court. My dad made a remarkable recovery with the care and attention he received in a professionally run care home. Hanford Court standards are exceptional, immaculately maintained, wonderful staff. Excellent facilities and activities. It was a pleasure
to visit wonderful outside space. Superb rooms. Will highly recommend to everyone.

While marks for staff are given, shortage of staff levels can be a problem at times. I think relations between staff and residents is very good.

I have been visiting my friend at Hanford Court regularly in the two years she has been a resident, she has been cared for with dignity and respect by all members of staff, who have come to know her individual needs, her likes and dislikes. Staff communicate with me (her deputy) in a timely and relevant
manner and I am reassured that she is in a safe and caring environment.

During the last several years I have visited a number of care homes to see friends and relatives. My experience tells me The Avery is second to none. The fact that it is purpose built of course makes all the difference. The staff are very friendly and always have a smile. For the residents there is
always some form of entertainment also outings to interesting places for those who are able to take part.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.535)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.535) out of 10 for Hanford Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.535 for Hanford Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 226 Ratings = 4.535

  • 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 Hanford Court Care Home - Avery Healthcare is based on 18 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 18 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.

Gemma Boot

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2012

Hello, my name is Gemma, and I am delighted to be the Home Manager here at Hanford Court.


Having the privilege to work here for the past 9 years, Hanford Court has truly become a second home for me.


With 17 years’ experience in the healthcare sector my previous roles have included, Carer/Senior Carer, Team Leader, Trainer, and Deputy Manager. I have also achieved qualifications such as NVQ Level 5, Social Care, and a Diploma in Sociology, where I have gained the skills and knowledge to succeed in my role today.


Within this time, I have shared many treasured moments with the residents I have had the pleasure to meet.


Seeing my residents smile each day gives me the motivation to perform at the highest level. One proud moment that I will cherish throughout my career was when I was able to fulfil one of my residents’ dreams of riding in a helicopter. It was so special just to see how happy they were.


I would best describe myself as very sociable. We have multiple cosy lounge areas throughout our home where you will often find me having a cuppa and a natter with one of our residents. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking and watching football.


Avery Healthcare, owners of Hanford Court, best stands out for their award-winning standards of care. And our home is no different. My favourite aspect of Hanford Court would be its beautiful, landscaped gardens which residents can enjoy all year round, whether that be planting crops to later be used by our talented culinary team or just simply soaking up the sun on a summer’s day. We have also recently installed our visiting pod which facilitates safe visiting for our residents and their loved ones.


I look forward to welcoming you to the Hanford Court care community.
