Specialising in long-term care for up to 19 residents, the independent family-run home offers an authentic home-from-home experience through its spacious and welcoming environment.

Staff are recruited locally, fully trained and provide the highest quality care, 24 hours a day. With a warm and personable approach, they endeavour to treat residents with love, respect and kindness.

Care is focused on the needs of the individual. Upholding dignity, independence and a sense of community is essential, so weekly forum meetings are held with residents to discuss the service.

The conservatory is a favourite spot for many to enjoy the beautifully presented gardens. The lawns and terrace are well maintained and easily accessible for all.

There are plenty of stimulating activities to get involved with and a lively entertainment programme to look forward to.

We were recommended Penhill from a local GP friend, who said she would want to come here if she were ever in need of care. It is a small, caring and clean residential home, with kind staff who always offer me a cup of tea on arrival, to have with my friend. They have looked after my friend incredibly
well and despite her needs increasing over the past two years, have gone the extra mile to accommodate her needs and make her feel like a real priority to them. Penhill has such a wonderful family feel to it, we knew almost immediately it was the right move for her, which was a huge relief, having moved someone who had lived in her own home until she was over 90. I feel totally confident they will look after her with the care and respect she deserves.

Reply from Nathan Corfield, Manager at Penhill

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review, it means a great deal to us that your friend has found a caring and comfortable home with us, and that you feel confident in the level of care and respect she receives. Our staff takes immense pride in going that extra mile to make sure our residents feel valued and supported, and it's wonderful to hear that this has been your experience. We're especially glad that you feel welcomed whenever you visit, our goal is to make both residents and their loved ones feel at home here.

Penhill is an excellent care home. My mum goes there for respite care and is very comfortable there. The staff are absolutely amazing and take great care of the residents and those visiting.
The facilities are great and there are many daytime activities to get involved with as well as a hairdresser
and chiropodist.
The home is not like others I visited where it feels more like a hotel than a home. Rooms are very homely and residents are encouraged to bring along items to make them feel relaxed.
I couldn't recommend Penhill enough although I would prefer they had a room available for Mum when she next goes to stay.

Reply from Nathan Corfield, Manager at Penhill

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to share your positive experience with Penhill. We are thrilled to hear that your mum feels comfortable and well cared for during her respite stays with us.

We would be more than happy to discuss the details and make the necessary arrangements to ensure she continues to enjoy her time with us. Please feel free to contact us at your earliest convenience so we can reserve the room for her and address any other questions or needs you may have.

My aunt lives in Penhil. On 11th February, it was her 100th birthday, and Penhill gave her a wonderful party. I brought my 102-year-old father to his sister's party. We were made to be so welcome. It was like a family party at home. All the staff were so friendly, engaging and caring. On the way home,
my father said he was so comforted that his sister was in such a warm and caring "real home".

My aunt has called Penhill home for nearly five years and recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Family and friends were warmly welcomed when we joined staff and fellow residents for her party. The staff have cared for my aunt through some very sad times with sympathy and compassion. I cannot praise
the manager and his team, and they truly are a team, enough. Thier care cannot be bettered.

I went to Penhill for respite care, my first experience living in a residential home. I stayed for 4 weeks. It was good to get to know the carers. They were mostly very attentive although small things in my care were overlooked. The 'hands-on' manager and his assistants were extremely welcoming and
helpful. I arrived in an apprehensive state but settled down into the routine. My room overlooked the garden, it was large and beautifully furnished. The standard of cleanliness was excellent. Well done Penhill!

My auntie recently passed away after being a resident of the care home since 2005.
I would like to thank the staff and management over the years who have looked after my auntie with due diligence around care and dealing with her personal requirements and making her feel like one of the Penhill family.
The
care home was always very proactive in updating me about how she was and any medical issues while once a Lasting Power of Attorney was put in place the ease of receiving invoices and making payment were all made very easy by the care home admin team.
I can thoroughly recommend Penhill residential care home to anyone needing care home specialists looking after family loved ones.

Penhill is a very welcoming, caring home. Many of the staff, and the manager in particular went out of their way to make sure Mum's needs were met (Mum couldn't praise the manager enough).

Mum moved to Penhill a few days ago after a long time in hospital. The decision of moving Mum into a home wasn’t easy but Penhill is so welcoming and their home is your home. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The manager went above and beyond to help us get Mum into Penhill and I am so grateful.
They even bought Mum a moving-in gift, which was so lovely. In the few days Mum has been there my mind has been put at rest as I know she is being well cared for. I can’t fault this home at all. I even said I would be happy to move here in years to come. Thank you so much everyone at Penhill.

I’m not usually lost for words, but I cannot express how happy I am with the manager and his staff at Penhill. I can’t always get in to see my aunt as I don’t live locally and I have to rely on my family to bring me in, but I love the warm welcome I’m always greeted with and the food always smells amazing
and I’m told it tastes just as good. I have been invited to stay for lunch on many occasions and on my next visit I just may.
The home is like a real home-from-home experience, it’s spotlessly clean, all the staff know my name and they are always happy, positive and can’t do enough for my aunt.
My aunt loves crafting and there is always something going on, last time I visited I sat with my aunt and we made bracelets, which I will cherish.
I can’t recommend Penhill enough and I’ve told the staff I’m putting my name down when I can’t manage at home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.875)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.875) out of 10 for Penhill is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 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 4.875 for Penhill is calculated as follows: ( (226 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 257 Ratings = 4.875

  • 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 Penhill 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 19 registered maximum number of service users is 3.8, 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.
