  • Erskine Hall Care Home, Northwood
Erskine Hall provides nursing, residential and dementia care. Inside the impressive, purpose-built home, they offer a warm welcome to long and short stays, including care for those living with Parkinson’s or Huntington’s care. Respite bookings can be made in advance if planning a holiday or break.

Based in a quiet suburb of Northwood, on the outskirts of Watford. There are plenty of peaceful spots and social spaces to spend time in. Residents have a choice of five lounges, where they can grab a book and cosy up in one of the armchairs or catch up with loved ones over coffee and cake. There’s an inviting terrace on the first floor, large patio area and lots of garden space that residents are free to explore, too. The home also benefits from a cinema room, hairdressing room with nail bar too.

There's a great atmosphere and the staff encourage residents to get involved as much as they’d like. To help residents feel at home, they take the time to get to know them. The home can then tailor activities to their interests and hobbies too. From activities such as community quizzes, crafts and flower arranging to tea dances and fetes, there is so much for residents to enjoy.

The chefs prepare a range of wholesome meals for residents to enjoy in the social dining area or in the comfort of their own room. They also talk to each resident about their likes, dislikes and any special dietary needs when they move in. That way, their food is cooked just right.

The staff, both caring and administrative are extremely good at welcoming new residents and very flexible and accommodating to ensure residents are as comfortable and happy as possible. Residents, as well as family members, are all made to feel at ease and welcome. We have been very happy with the care/facilities.

My sister was admitted to Erskine Hall in October 2018 and had excellent palliative care right up until her death. She was very well cared for by a kind and considerate staff for whom nothing was too much trouble. They were also very comforting to me when she was unwell. Thank you so much. Also, thank
you for attending my sister's funeral and looking after my dog there.

I spent two weeks in Erskine Hall following a hip replacement operation. All the staff were very kind and caring and looked after me extremely well. The food was good and plentiful. By the end of my stay, I was fit to look after myself at home.

My mother's stay was only three months as sadly she died in the middle of December but the care in her final days was first class. The staff were so kind and did their best to keep her comfortable and meet all her needs. It was such a relief that she could end her days being cared for in a home she
was safe and so well looked after and where my son and myself were supported at such a difficult time.

My previous Nan was here 6 years ago and from that, I extremely recommend it to anyone. Such a down to earth place. Friendly staff. I have recently started coming again because I have another Nan that is now here. She absolutely loves it here as do all of my family. Food is lovely. Game and fun times

My mother spent a brief period at the end of her life at Erskine Hall. The staff were very kind and attentive and did everything in their power to ensure that she was comfortable and that all her needs were met.
The care home is set within beautiful grounds and provides many amenities for its patients.
The

My mother was discharged from hospital after a serious infection with little long-term prospects. The round the clock assiduous care of the whole Erskine team has put her back on her feet in a way that we could never have thought possible. The personalised approach was exceptional.

My mother has been in care here for several years now. Throughout her stay, we have found the staff very professional and attentive. Without their care and attention, she would probably not be around now. The home is always extremely clean and well run. As a family, we have always found everyone very
friendly and helpful and would recommend Erskine Hall.

Whilst he was at Erskine Hall he was looked after well and the manager was very personable and friendly, all staff were helpful and he was treated very well.

Moved from hospital to this care home in November 2017 suffering from rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, anaemia and type 2 diabetes. Following an outpatient visit to the rheumatology department at the hospital, I was put on medication and this has eased the arthritic problems, enabling me to need
less support from the staff. I now am able to move around fairly freely using walking poles or my zimmer frame and eat all meals in the restaurant. I am hoping to move to a flat as my mobility increases.

We are very impressed with the care and comfort given to residents in this 'care home'. My sister was looked after well. She had a lovely room looking over the gardens and was able to get out into the grounds in her wheelchair when the weather made it possible. The staff are very friendly. Plenty of
activities for the residents if they wish and visitors were made very welcome.

Staff are polite and friendly despite being very busy. Staff do not seem to monitor residents to see if they are comfortable and warm enough, especially people in wheelchairs that are unable to move around to get warm.
Have to wait sometimes for prolonged periods of time for assistance to go to the
toilet and then return to the chair. This takes two carers and a hoist if someone is in a wheelchair like my mum (lack of staff)?

I am very happy with the care that my husband is receiving. He has been here for nearly 3 months for palliative care. I visit most days and I am allowed to come and go as I please. The staff all know and address me by name which I think is a good indication of how good the staff are. The home is spotlessly
clean. Rooms are en-suite. Beds are adjustable, without looking like a hospital.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.781)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.781) out of 10 for Erskine Hall Care Home 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.781 for Erskine Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (236 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 292 Ratings = 4.781

  • 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 Erskine Hall Care Home is based on 25 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
