Hallamshire Residential Home is a grand and stately Victorian Manor, tastefully converted and extended to provide excellent facilities and care to all of its residents. The home is situated in the city of Sheffield, very close to shops, local amenities and public transport.

Hallamshire has recently been renovated to a high standard, developed as a luxurious, modern and beautifully decorated care home. It is registered with the Quality Care Commission to accommodate 32 residents in thirty two bedrooms, many with en-suite facilities, all fully equipped with telephone and television points, vanity basins, central heating and a high-tech nurse call system.

A spacious, well appointed dining room, two comfortable, plush lounges and bright and sunny conservatory all overlook the charming landscaped gardens. The beautiful grounds outside are perfect for enjoying the fresh air and delightful, picturesque surroundings. Residents are also welcome to take advantage of a quiet sitting area, two large passenger lifts, a number of assisted and unassisted bathrooms and off-street parking with level access.

Hallamshire is famous for the gourmet meals prepared by the chef every day. The appetising, tasty and nutritious menu at Hallamshire provides residents with a healthy and varied diet. Specific dietary requirements and residents’ preferences are catered for. Meals are served in the elegant dining room but residents can dine in their own rooms if they wish.

The dedication and devotion of highly-trained staff has established their reputation as an exceptionally ‘friendly and caring’ home. Residents’ quality of life is greatly enhanced by the comfortable, warm and safe environment that Hallamshire provides.

I am very pleased with the standard of care given to my father. All staff are friendly and it is clear that they care for the residents, are interested in each person and want to give high quality care. Activities are varied and interesting and designed to include everyone and their individual interests
- there are also lots of trips out. Rooms and other facilities are clean and well-ordered, garden nicely kept, rooms are comfortable with good quality furniture - feels very warm and homely. Communication between myself and staff is very good and I am kept informed in a timely manner of any health concerns. I am always made to feel welcome and the coffee/tea area for visitors is really appreciated.

My husband has been a resident at the Hallamshire Care Home for 5 months and was attending weekly as a day patient for 6 months before that. He has advanced Alzheimer's and can no longer do anything independently. The staff are brilliant and always upbeat. Nothing is too much trouble for them. They
also provide a wide range of stimulating activities and outings for the residents and opportunities for relatives to meet others e.g. the monthly afternoon teas. There is a very warm, welcoming atmosphere and I would highly recommend it.

They get almost everything right and where there is a little glitch they do everything they can to put it right. It's not nice when someone you love has Alzheimer's but I am convinced that my husband is in safe and caring hands. He is treated with respect by all the staff and they try hard to ensure
that he doesn't deteriorate as quickly as this dreadful disease would like.

Thank you very much for the positive review, It is much appreciated and a great indication that management and staff are providing the best service and care that we can. We strive to ensure a high standard of care is delivered for our residents.

The care that my brother received until he passed away in October was excellent and far exceeds any other care home that I have had relatives in. There are plenty of activities to keep everyone stimulated, including many that the relatives can join in with. Each and everyone of the staff, management,
carers, cleaners and handyman are all so friendly, welcoming and caring. Their response to my brother's needs was outstanding and we were always kept informed in a timely manner. The whole environment was pleasant, well-maintained, and very clean. My brother was looked after with compassion, empathy, dignity and respect during his time there and at the end of his life, he couldn't have been taken care of in a better place. His last few days were spent in a calm, peaceful, safe environment. This is much more than just a care home but a real home for the residents who live there. We would like to thank all the staff for the care my brother received, we are so grateful to them.

Reply from Karen Betts, Manager at Hallamshire

Thank you so much! Feedback is very important to management and staff. It means so much to know we deliver such a high standard of care. This review is very much appreciated, your brother was an absolute pleasure to care for.

Exceptional levels of care, kindness and all round friendly staff and management. My dad was a resident at the Hallamshire Care Home from October 2023 until he passed away peacefully in August this year and during his stay nothing was ever too much trouble. There were always plenty of staff available
when you needed them and so much effort was put into keeping the residents active, happy and fulfilled. The Hallamshire feels more like a home rather than Care Home, it always felt welcoming when visiting, so refreshing and totally different from other homes that dad had been in previously. As a family, we can't begin to thank the staff who looked after dad with such warmth and care during his final days and for that we are eternally grateful. In short, you won't find a better care home with such wonderful staff in the area.

Both of my parents have been residents in the Hallamshire Care Home since the beginning of August, and as a family, we could not be happier with the care they are provided. The residents' rooms are comfortable and clean, as are the communal spaces such as the lounges and dining rooms. Mum and Dad have
enjoyed the regular programme of activities, suitable for different abilities, such as chair exercises, singing, games, and trips out. The care is personalised, and Mum and Dad's individual needs are met appropriately. We can see a definite improvement in Mum and Dad's wellbeing since they moved in. Management and staff are professional and friendly and always make you feel welcome. We would not hesitate to recommend this home.

I am very grateful for the care provided to my mum in her last year of life, which she spent at the Hallamshire. She was treated with care, warmth and dignity. It's a spacious, clean and well-managed home with beautiful gardens. Staff in activities made a conscious effort to include her and I am full
of heartfelt thanks for her time there.

My husband has been a resident at Hallamshire Care Home for 3 months. The management and staff are amazing. Kind, caring, friendly and fun. Also proactive on the medical side when things go wrong. The residents are treated with dignity, respect and love. Visitors are welcomed and never made to feel
in the way. The home is clean and well-maintained. Activities are many and varied and for those able to participate offer stimulation and fun. I am happy knowing my husband is getting the care and attention he needs.

Lovely 'restaurant experience' event for my mother. My partner and I joined her in a restaurant-type experience. She is non-verbal with very progressive dementia. However, I felt this was a really valuable experience for her. It was very imaginative and typical of the Hallamshire amazing care team to
dream up something like this!

The Hallamshire Care Home looked after for my mum for around 4 years, at a very difficult time for her and us. Mum was always very well looked after, and the staff clearly cared for and about her. They were also very caring about her family's needs, including being innovative around visiting during
the most difficult Covid times. There was always lots going on at the Hallamshire, including events that we could take part in with Mum, as well as daily activities that she was encouraged to take part in. If she wanted private time, that was always possible, whilst making sure that her needs were always provided for. The menu was varied with excellent food, and birthday parties were a great event, with cake and entertainment to suit. The team (everyone) were outstanding throughout her stay at the home, we would not have been able to manage without them. They were fantastic. We can't recommend them highly enough.

Whilst visiting my aunt at Hallamshire, I am always greeted by friendly staff and happy residents. Placing a loved one into a care home is always difficult and I know my mother found it very hard but the staff at Hallamshire made the process simple and it went smoothly. Would highly recommend.

My dad was a resident at Hallamshire for just over 18 months and it was the best move we could have possibly made for him.
From the moment we entered the building, we knew it was the place for us. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, the place was spotless, but most strikingly, compared with
other homes we'd visited, all the residents were out of their rooms and involved in engaging and fun activities.
Dad was so happy at Hallamshire, and felt loved and cared for. The staff are wonderful and gave Dad attention, fun and kindness. He loved them to bits.
The social programme at Hallamshire is second to none- every day there are two different activities and each week, there is a fantastic variety of really interesting and engaging activities including exercise classes, musical performances, trips out, and visits from pets and nursery children. The catering staff are working too and Dad enjoyed his meals.
Overall, I would highly recommend Hallamshire to anyone.

A very welcoming and friendly home with a sense of being part of a big family. My mother has improved in mood and general mental activity since being at Hallamshire. In addition, the physical activities have helped with overall mobility. Visiting is made easy and it has been great to be included in
activities both in the home and outside. Staff are always caring and conscientious.

From the first contact with Hallamshire, I was very impressed with the care, knowledge and approachability of the management and staff which continued during my wife's stay. After a short visit, I was convinced that Hallamshire Care Home would be somewhere where my wife would be happy and this was the
case. My wife was suffering from Lewy Body Dementia which posed few problems with the staff. She was looked after by the staff and nothing was ever too much trouble. The care home is in a good location and on its own grounds which is taken advantage of when the weather allows. The birthdays of residents are usually celebrated as well as traditional holidays. An outstanding feature is the programme of activities which is based on two sessions every day and can range from exercise, escorted visits to a tea dance, weekly trips on a bicycle with seats around local parks, visits of choirs, craft work etc. Meals are prepared on-site and cooked by a resident chef and are of good quality. Staff had professional qualifications appropriate to caring which showed in their attitudes and competence. A well-managed care home which deserves its good reputation.

My husband has been in Hallamshire and I am very happy with every aspect of his care. He is treated with respect and dignity. All personal care is discreet and sensitive. Staff are simply 'the best'. Nothing is too much trouble. Meals are first class and homecooked. Management is approachable and naturally

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.920)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.920) out of 10 for Hallamshire 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 4.920 for Hallamshire is calculated as follows: ( (243 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 263 Ratings = 4.92

  • 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 Hallamshire 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, 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.
