Mum entered the home when her quality of life had suffered causing her mood her mood to be low. She was being regularly hospitalised due to uncontrolled pain. All this changed within a few short weeks. The variety and number of stimulating activities and quality of care in this home are outstanding.
The home looks after its staff: consequently, many of them have worked there for years. Valuing experience means their staff are exceptional and provide the residents with a loving and happy home. My mum loves it. She tells us 'I have my life back'. She looks like herself again! Well-groomed, well-dressed, well-fed, with a big smile on her face. The food is excellent. Mum apparently enjoys her cooked breakfast every day (often having seconds). It is no trouble to whip up something else if today's menu is not to Mum's taste. Mum was not eating properly before, but now she is thriving. Hoyland Hall was the best choice we could ever make for Mum.

We initially brought Dad to Hoyland Hall for just a short respite stay, but 15 months later, he has thrived, and we can't imagine him anywhere else. At the time, he seemed lost, with no real spark. Hoyland Hall has provided him with over a year of exceptional care, not just physically, but also emotionally.
We truly believe it's extended his life. The staff here are incredibly dedicated. Their passion for resident well-being shines through in every interaction. Their consistent presence, with minimal turnover, fosters a genuine sense of trust and allows families like ours to have complete confidence in the care Dad receives. It's a beautiful blend of caring professionalism - the best of both worlds. Thank you, Hoyland Hall, for giving Dad a renewed sense of purpose and for giving us, his family, immense peace of mind.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Over the last few years there seems to be an increasing problem with communication.
Be it not being informed about illness, differing interpretations of illness by staff, items required by residents i.e clothing, toiletries or in the not too distant past, reserving a time and date to visit only to
be told you weren’t expected when you got there.
Another example was each member of staff’s interpretation of rules as Covid restrictions were gradually eased.
Please have one song sheet for all, then all sing from it.
There seems to be only one member of staff who you can ask a question and get an answer. If she isn’t around to ask, you can waste your time.
That said, I wouldn’t want my father to be anywhere else at this time in his life. The staff at Hoyland Hall help make that decision easy.
He is, although confused, very happy and comfortable in his surroundings. Made even more so by the increase in activities he now gets involved in.

Reply from Dragos Baciu, Founder, Business Development Director at Hoyland Hall

Thank you kindly for your feedback. We really appreciate you sharing your perspective and we’ll definitely take some actions on all of the raised concerns. Providing the best care for your father will always be our priority and we're happy that he feels safe and enjoys our range of activities provided by Hayley.

My mother was a resident of Hoyland Hall for over 3 years and during this time she was very well looked after by the caring and professional staff. When her mobility decreased the staff managed her condition and kept us informed and consulted us about the best ways to keep her safe. She very much enjoyed
the activities offered and the food.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mum was initially placed at Hoyland Hall by the hospital for respite after breaking her hip and wrist, she is now a permanent resident due to mobility issues which says a lot as I wouldn't leave her in a place where she wasn't cared for properly and in safe hands. Mum is always clean and in her own
clothes which means a lot to me as I know it is a big issue in other care homes. The staff are amazing and the activity coordinator keeps the resident's minds and bodies active with all the different activities/events she organises. The rooms are a bit dated for me but are always warm and very clean.
I would definitely recommend Hoyland Hall to anyone needing a care home for their relatives. Thank you to all the staff!

I cannot fault the care that takes place at Hoyland Hall. The staff go above and beyond and the activities and extra things they do go to show their dedication to their job and the residents. The recent Christmas activities and online virtual Christmas Calendar brought a tear to my eye and seeing it
all on social media updated is great for the families of the residents I feel too. I feel my dad has settled in so well and is treated as an individual with respect and decency whilst also getting what needs to be done in terms of medication and personal care. I spread the word about how good this place is. I do wish Dad's room was a little bigger to fit in his own chair from home but it can’t be helped. Although the decor of the bedrooms is a little dated, everything that matters is excellent and it’s not something that dad is bothered about and that’s what matters. I feel assured dad is in safe hands and I am called if anything is wrong or need to be notified of. Thank you.

Mum has not been living here long but so far she has been well taken care of. The staff are brilliant as are the activities they do with them. If I had any complaint it would just be that the rooms are somewhat dated and could do with brightening up, they can still be made cosy for the residents with
a few of their own possessions.
I am so far happy with my choice having it been a very hard decision to make for Mum, the staff have also helped me come to terms with it which I am grateful for.

My mum resided at Hoyland Hall after being in hospital for a month for oral cancer, feeding and mobility issues. I was slightly dubious at first, with care homes having had so much bad press. However, my faith has now been restored after experiencing Hoyland Hall.
Every single member of staff have
cared professionally and personally for Mum in every way required. They showed so much compassion and empathy for Mum and nothing was ever too much trouble.
My dad and I visited Mum daily (on separate times of day) and each time staff were so accommodating. They always took time to chat to us and made us feel so welcome and updated us on Mum's progress.
The home itself is very clean, well resourced, and you can tell all food is home-made (accommodating Mum's soft food diet). I have so much praise for Hoyland Hall and all the staff there.

I cannot thank all staff for the care and companionship they showed my mum in her last few days at Hoyland Hall. Mum had dementia and it took her very quickly but the care they showed me and my family by letting us be at her bedside
24 hours for over 4 days we can never thank them enough for. Definitely recommend Hoyland Hall and again thank you all.

My husband was admitted here from the hospital on end-of-life care. The consultant gave us approximately six weeks. The staff at Hoyland Hall could not have been nicer. They took great care of not only him but me also. Cups of tea and homemade buns or cake were always offered. My husband's needs were
taken care of quickly and to a high standard. All of the girls were friendly and are easy to talk to. They took my husband to their heart and I am so grateful. After seven weeks in hospital, it was lovely to see his last days were some of his best days. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.812)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.812) out of 10 for Hoyland Hall 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.812 for Hoyland Hall is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.812

  • 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 Hoyland Hall is based on 14 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 14 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.
