Every care and consideration was given to me and my family on their frequent visits.
My two week stay enabled me to regain enough strength to return home again and this was due to the care and attention I received.

Everyone is very warm, kind and caring and friendly. Dad was scared to be in a care home (respite) but has had a really positive experience. I am very grateful.
He has been kept clean, fed, medicated and helped enormously - psychologically and physically.
Thank you so much for the dignity, care and
help you have given to my father.

My husband is a resident at Hilton Park. He is being well looked after. As a former nurse, I have high standards and Hilton Park meets them. Not only physical care but also mental care.

At this moment the carers are having to work very hard due to us feeling it is understaffed at this moment but they try very hard to make sure our needs are met.

Reply from Judith Wroe, General Manager at Barchester Hilton Park Care Home

I am sorry you feel we have less staff, we currently staff above the industry guidelines.
I hope we are able to discuss this further.

My father was sent to Hilton Park as part of NHS continuing care. Everyone was kind, attentive and by the end of his stay, it was obvious he had bonded with the staff caring for him. From any observations staff made great efforts to familiarise themselves with individual resident's likes and dislikes.
I commend them for this as it must make frail and vulnerable people feel safe and cared for. I was less happy with the room. Mainly regarding the shabbiness of the bathroom. Definitely scored low on cleanliness. Toilet roll holder broken off the wall, making it hard to reach loo paper with limited mobility. Balance issues. Windows in desperate need of cleaning - hard to see out of.

My father has been cared for in Maple Ward/Oaklands for a little over a year.
His day to day care is wonderful.
Each of the carers and nurses provides professional care and unbelievable level of compassion and consideration for all residents, and great concern and support to relatives.
This under
very difficult circumstances and obvious understaffing problems.
Management do their best, but I suspect their 'hands are tied' by achieving 'over-stretched' targets.
The rooms, facilities and food are very good.
Finally, I am personally very grateful to the 'front-line' staff for their tireless work and dedication - please consider the pressure you put them under.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.659)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.659) out of 10 for Barchester Hilton Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 32 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.659 for Barchester Hilton Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 372 Ratings = 4.659

  • 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 Barchester Hilton Park Care Home is based on 31 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 31 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.
