I have found the level of care to be of a very high standard. Also, the staff are 100% efficient at their work roles. Nice clean conditions in the care home, genuinely I would have no problem recommending Hampden Hall Care Centre in the future. Many thanks.

I have found the care and consideration shown to both my mum and myself extremely thoughtful and friendly. Any contact made with the home has always been professional and responsive, calls are returned and messages passed on. Mum's comfort and care is very well considered and tailored to her very specific
needs. My mum has always vowed she would not go into a care home but has not once complained or been unhappy.

I came to Hampden Hall as I was not able to cope at home. I am very happy with this decision. The staff are all lovely, the girls on the first floor are brilliant, they all treat me with dignity and respect. Great facilities, very big lounge and cinema room. Fish and chips are the best and all food
is tasty.

In the most taxing of times, during the end of life period for my mother, the staff at Hampden Hall Care Centre could not have been more empathic, caring and extraordinarily kind to both my mother and I.
Whilst my mother may have only been at Hampden Hall for a short space of time, it was the best
place for her to spend her last days. The rooms are clean, light and airy and nothing is too much trouble - even locating an Alexa to play Tom Jones ( a fellow 'welshy').
My mother was dealt with, with respect and dignity, spoken to politely and quietly and always given a choice in any activity undertaken from being fed food she liked (changing it if she didn't) to moving her to ensure she was comfortable.
I cannot recommend Hampden Hall Care Centre enough.

Reply from Sophia Roberts, Head Office at Hampden Hall Care Centre

Dear Nicola, please accept our condolences for your mother's passing, and thank you for taking the time to leave us your feedback. We are so pleased to hear that your mother was happy and comfortable while receiving end of life care at Hampden Hall. We will ensure your comments are passed onto the manager and all of her team.

My mother-in-law was a resident of Hampden Hall for four years until her death earlier this month. During this period of time, we visited her at least once a week until the pandemic. During this time we were never less than impressed and delighted with the exemplary standard of care provided by the
staff at Hampden Hall and by the professionalism and dedication. As visiting relatives, my wife and I were always made to feel welcome by the staff at reception, and by the care staff on her floor. They were always ready to share information about her state of health and any care issues which had arisen, and they were equally open to our ideas, suggestions and concerns. They also kept us fully informed by telephone when necessary. With the easing of restrictions, we were able to visit her shortly before her death and the necessary testing and protective measures were managed very professionally. I would certainly recommend Hampden Hall as a first-class care centre.

Reply from Melissa Lawrence, Admin at Hampden Hall Care Centre

Care delivered here is very good. Staff are patient and offering all the time necessary. I am not a fussy eater but the food here is enjoyable and I like it. The cleaning staff are extremely good and they clean my room daily. All staff are very pleasant and helpful on the First Floor.

I am perfectly content living here. I can do what I want to do including going out for a walk most days. I am lucky in that I have a pleasant, larger than average room. I do join in some activities but am perfectly happy on my own doing puzzles, reading, and watching television.

Hampden Hall is a wonderful care home that truly respects its residents and goes the extra mile. The staff are outstanding - every one of them - they work together to support their residents' needs like one big family. During my brother's stay at the home from June 2019 to August 2020 he was extremely
well cared for and nothing was too much trouble. I was really pleased I moved him to Hampden Hall. The way they handled the pandemic under such extreme circumstances should also be commended. They locked down and took extra precautions long before the rest of the country to protect their residents and staff and quickly adapted to ensure residents could video call family members to stay connected. When restrictions were eased they arranged visits outside under a gazebo. To be this adaptable so quickly and professionally is a mark of how passionate they are about their residents and I would not hesitate to recommend Hampden Hall to anyone looking for a care home for their loved one.

I am very happy with Hampden Hall home. My mother is getting extremely good care and she seems very happy.
I am always phoned if there is a problem and I always get very good service from reception when answering my phone calls and given help. The lady on reception has a really good attitude and very
friendly and helpful. The carers and nurses on the ground floor are excellent.

My wife entered Hampden Hall Care Centre in February 2019 and died in October 2020. On leaving my wife in Hampden Hall Care Centre in 2019, the staff were exceedingly helpful, very understanding of the trauma this caused the family and very supportive.
I have nothing but praise for the quiet professionalism
shown by the staff during this period. My wife was 'past' participating in activities. Nevertheless, the staff ensured birthdays and wedding anniversaries were memorable events. Post-Covid the challenges for Hampden Hall Care Centre were extreme. The staff were superheroes. They protected my wife - although of course, her contracting world contracted greatly, being confined to her room. We only had one visit during this period and one at her death. During this Covid period, the staff did their best to provide online internet connection and kept us up to date with my wife's deteriorating condition.
Our family could not ask for anything more. Value for money good to excellent.

What a difference new management can make! From seriously investigating alternative homes, I know wouldn't move Dad anywhere else. Despite his advanced dementia and inability to communicate, I truly feel that the staff afford him total respect and dignity. He is clean, tidy and contented. We, as his
family, are enabled to see him most days vis FaceTime, and despite his inability to speak, allowed as on as we wish to communicate. His Birthday last week was not only acknowledged but truly celebrated with banners, balloons and an amazing chocolate cake backed especially for him - no take out. We were given over an hour FaveTime, brought only to end because Dad fell asleep - too much excitement in his room! Not only do all the carers need recognition, praise and a pay rise for the amazing job that they do, but so do the entire team, the cleaner, the catering staff, maintenance, admin and management. No longer fo I lie awake worrying about Dad and his care; instead, I just miss him and thank the wonderful team that look after him. Thank you all at Hampden Hall.

Like so many others in my brother's position, he never wanted to be in residential care, but you all helped to settle him in and we always thought that you worked hard to meet his needs despite his illness. You all treated him as the person he was and helped maintain his dignity to the end. We could
not have chosen anywhere better for him. The spotless and pleasant rooms, the fabulous food that he loved. We as a family were always greeted with a hello and lovely smiles and always felt welcomed. Thank you to you all you are all amazing. Well done everybody you are all fab.

The staff are kind and professional. They get to know their residents and understand the nature of the individuals who they are providing care for. The staff spend time with the residents caring for their physical and emotional needs from day one right up until the end. All the facilities are clean,
and the home is kept fresh and in great order. However, it is the staff, from the lovely helpful receptionist to the senior nursing staff who make this care home an excellent choice for a loved one.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.858)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.858) out of 10 for Hampden Hall Care Centre 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 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.858 for Hampden Hall Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (559 Excellents x 5) + (77 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 643 Ratings = 4.858

  • 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 Hampden Hall Care Centre is based on 55 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 55 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.
