I live overseas and take great comfort knowing my mother is a resident at Hethersett Hall because of the incredible care she receives from the staff. Everyone is kind, friendly and extremely welcoming. During my visits I spend long periods of time with my mother and participate in all the daily activities
including mealtimes. The chef makes great cakes and desserts!! I am always made to feel very welcome when visiting.

My husband who has Alzheimer's been a resident at Hethersett Hall for just over a year and I am very satisfied with the care he has received. All the staff are very friendly and supportive to residents and their friends and relatives. I have been kept informed of any changes in his care needs and I
have complete confidence in the care he receives. I find it a very welcoming and pleasant place to visit although in difficult circumstances. The care he has received has made me less stressed as well as keeping him as well and happy as is possible.

All I can say is what an amazing event held at Hethersett hall today the Caribbean fate. So many residents, family’s, friends, and staff joining together to have a fun-filled day. The staff were so warm and welcoming making sure each resident had what they needed and was enjoying themselves. This care
home is not a business it’s a family and that just shines through each member of staff and how much they care. A massive thank you to the home manager who has made this a home to shine above all expectations. Truly wonderful.


Thank you all for the hard and attentive work you do.

My husband has advanced stages of Alzheimer's, he had a week's respite in November 2018 and 3 weeks respite in February 2019.
The initial greeting from management was so warm, kind and caring, that my son and I knew Hethersett Hall was the right choice for my husband. Such outstanding, high standard
of care, not just to my husband, but to us as a family. Providing the very best of care from such wonderful caring staff with dignity. The carers went above and beyond to see that he was comfortable and happy. He was settled and happy from day one. They even played his music he so loves, bringing such a lovely smile to his face each time. Nothing was ever too much trouble, such friendly hard working staff. Even the receptionist was so kind and caring towards my husband. He was anxious at first but soon settled in. Providing lovely, clean rooms, like home from home. We were treated like family. What an outstanding place. Set in such beautiful kept grounds. Safety and security was excellent.

Staff are generally kind and caring but small details are often overlooked, e.g. two days after coming back from a hospital stay, my sister was still in the hospital gown and with the ID bracelet on. Her cup of coffee was placed out of her reach.

My aunt has just returned to her permanent room after moving out for renovation and redecoration.
It is a pleasure to visit her in such a lovely setting. Her room and bathroom have been refurbished tastefully and to a high standard.
All the work done this year has also transformed the main areas.
The café is a good idea and the dining room resembles a good hotel. My aunt says she could not be in more pleasant surroundings.

We were invited by a resident to join her family at the Bonfire Night at Hethersett Hall. We were greeted warmly, enjoyed a lovely snack and alcoholic drink followed by fire dancing and the amazing music by a duo. To see some of the residents dancing to Abba and it was so lovely to see. The fireworks
were very professionally done. A lot of work but well worth the effort by the looks on the resident's faces.

My father came to stay at Hethersett Hall for 10 days. It was his first time in a care home and he was very frightened. The understanding, respect and warmth shown to my father was nothing more than outstanding, they looked after my dad as if he was their own. I could not have asked any more of them.
My dad has since had to move into full-time care nearer my mum as my mum doesn't drive. It's a shame the home wasn't nearer.

Thank you so much for your kind words. We strive every day to ensure those that we care for receive nothing but outstanding care, support and empathy from the moment they arrive to ensure that their time at Hethersett hall is always a wonderful experience!!

Hethersett Hall is a brilliant residential home. Mum has been well cared for and all the staff are wonderful.


There could be more staff on board as the carers are rather stretched. Also, the grounds have been neglected over the last two years.


Other than that, we are very satisfied.


Reply from Kerry Tidd, General Manager at Barchester Hethersett Hall

Thank you for your review. I can confirm that we have very recently increased staffing levels to ensure that the quality of care is outstanding at Hethersett Hall. In regard to the grounds, we are currently in the process of recruiting a gardener to oversee the maintenance and improvement of the grounds but in the meantime we do have an external gardener who is attending to the gardens. As the new general manager at Hethersett Hall, I am ensuring that all aspects of the home are at the outstanding standard we expect at Barchester.

I have been in Hethersett Hall for 10 weeks. I have been very comfortable (except a problem has taken a long time to a resolve - the shower floor is in need of attention). I have found the care staff excellent. There is upheaval with builders working and this has given the kitchen staff difficulties
at times.

Hi Heather,


Thank you for your review - I am pleased that you are feeling comfortable at Hethersett Hall. Unfortunately, it is never easy when renovations are taking place and we can only apologise if this has caused an inconvenience at times. We hope that the wonderful changes that have been made to the home have made it worthwhile. If you have any further issues, please do not hesitate to get in contact with the manager.

A group of friends of a resident arranged an afternoon birthday party for her. Hethersett Hall staff were brilliant - we had a private area set up for us, with tea, coffee, plates and glasses. We brought our own food. The tables were laid and everything was nicely laid out and welcoming. The staff couldn't
have been more helpful and this made the party memorable. It was especially appreciated that we were even able to hold the event at all, due to the renovations going on. Thank you to all the staff who made the event possible.

I have been here 20 months and on the whole I am happy enough. The biggest moan is about the food - we sometimes have to wait as much as 15 minutes between courses, which means the food is sometimes cold - not pleasant. The carers do not even pop their heads round the door to see if everyone is alright.
We could be dead for the want of just a little peep!

Reply from Jodi Rutherford, Customer Relations Manager at Barchester Hethersett Hall

Hi Olive,


Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that the food has been an issue for you. In response to this, we will be setting up a monthly food committee group for the residents and their families where you will be able to offer feedback and suggestions on how we can improve the dining experience in the home. We endeavour to provide the best care possible for all of our residents and feedback is invaluable for us to be able to do this.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.733)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.733) out of 10 for Barchester Hethersett Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.733 for Barchester Hethersett Hall is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.733

  • 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 Barchester Hethersett Hall is based on 22 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, which has been reached with 22 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.
