Wonderful, friendly and helpful staff, all patient and nothing was too much trouble. Especially good care from the physiotherapist who always encouraged me to do more than I thought possible. It was particularly helpful to have physio sessions everyday. I am very grateful for all the care I have received.

Many many thanks to the team in the OT suite, your help with ongoing support is quiet simply superb!
Thank you staff in reception. A splendid stay for my mother. Many thanks
and keep up the good work 'you guys are legends'.

After a long stay in the hospital, it was decided I would transfer to Amberley Hall for rehabilitation. I was very apprehensive and reluctant to transfer. I soon realised my fear had been unwarranted. I have received the most caring and considerate treatment from carers and therapists alike. The whole
team have not just gone the extra mile, they've run a marathon. Many, many thanks.

My aunt arrived at Amberley Hall in the Autumn following another spell in hospital . My aunt is unable to manage on her own at home and so Amberley has provided an excellent solution. The arrival arrangements were straightforward and the staff very friendly and welcoming both towards us and my aunt.
Although my aunt still has health limitations, since her arrival at Amberley she has continued to go from strength to strength and is starting to feel more settled. Every time we have visited, the staff have been very helpful and friendly. As her nearest relatives but living almost 200 miles away, we were very concerned to find the right environment for my aunt. Happily, we feel that Amberley is a very good fit. We have appreciated the efforts made by management and the senior care team to keep us informed and feel very reassured that my aunt is in good hands.

My sister entered Amberley Hall when she could no longer be looked after in her own home. The Amberley Hall staff cared for her with great skill and humanity in her last months. I do not think anyone could have done more and I am grateful to them all.

I have recently left Amberley Hall Care Home following my second visit.
My room in the Sandringham suite was very large and had an en-suite bathroom. It was fully equipped and spotlessly clean.
The carers who came to help me shower and dress each morning were always ready to help with anything I
needed. I was able to tell them how they could help me, and they carried out my morning routine with enthusiasm and aplomb.
Food coming from the Amberley Hall kitchen was superb, with several meal options, and in the reception area, there was a refreshments unit serving a wide range of teas and coffees, snacks and crisps and a selection of magnificent homemade cakes.
Entertainment at Amberley Hall included musicians who were brought in to entertain residents, and the staff organised events relating to the time of year.
I consider Amberley Hall to be the best care home in the area, and I thank the staff there for their care, kindness and compassion during my stay.

When we had to make the difficult decision to move my husband's mum into care due to her advancing Alzheimers, we were thankful we discovered Amberley Hall. Events unfolded alongside which meant we also had to ensure his 90-year-old father with advancing Parkinson's had a safe and nurturing place to
take care of him from discharge after 4 months in hospital. The staff are professional, kind, patient and thoughtful towards their residents whilst understanding the needs of the relatives - which is particularly important as we live 120 miles away but need to feel close.

Whenever we visit, the first impressions are entering a lovely, friendly, warm environment, always clean. The staff are amazing and always on hand to help. When we visit it feels very homely and comfortable and relaxed. The nursing staff are brilliant, any questions are answered no matter how busy they
are. Always give you time and this is really important.

The person I support spent two weeks at Amberley hall whilst I was on holiday.
On returning to pick him up, it was a joy to see how well he looked. There was an obvious good relationship with all the staff and it was clear he had been well looked after. Will definitely be returning when a spell of
respite is needed again as it's comforting to know he is happy and safe at Amberley.

Following a crisis with Mum's living arrangements and after viewing other options I found the Amberley Team. Chaos turned quickly into the calm, honest, and professional support we needed to move to the next stage. The home is bright and clean with tea and biscuits on top to ease the nerves. The dreaded
'moving in' day was handled wonderfully and facilitated by the trust Mum quickly developed in the home manager who is a truly exceptional person. One of the hardest decisions I have ever made was made as easy as it can be by the Amberley Team. Thank you!

Reply from Jenny Boulton, Generla Manager Amberley at Amberley Hall Care Home

Thank you for your review, Amberley are always striving to be the best support that our residents and relatives need. We are very pleased to hear that we could have been a help at this time and will continue to help every step of the way.

My husband can't see very much at all and his hearing is very poor without his hearing aids. When visiting him I noticed one hearing aid was sticking out so I removed it and saw that it was in the wrong ear and I think the tubes had been adjusted to make it fit so I tried to put them in the right ears
but couldn't do it so we left them out. To begin with, I thought he wasn't being taken to the dining room because it was easier not to, but I understand now that it was because he didn't want to go and wanted to stay in his room. He was therefore not very happy and was glad to come home.

We are sorry to hear that not every part of your husband's experience went to plan. We take on board your comments and will work together with our team to provide a better outcome going forward.

Although my Mum's dementia means she no longer knows who I am, I still enjoy my visits to her when I can get to Amberley Hall. I live in Devon and rely on being able to telephone to see how she is. Although I don't speak to Mum (she doesn't really enjoy telephone calls), the staff are always very kind
and helpful and bring me up to date on Mum's general health and activities so I continue to feel involved in her life.

Reply from Jenny Boulton, General Manager Amberley at Amberley Hall Care Home

Dearest relative, the care team at Amberley really understand the importance of good communication and that feelings matter the most. It is an honour to take good care of your mother and we are delighted that you enjoy your visits. Kindest regards, Amberley Hall.

Things have been very hard during Covid in not being able to see Mum on a regular basis, but the home have taken good care of her and Mum seems very happy there. The nurse keeps me informed of what is happening with Mum and they phone me regularly. Thank you to the staff for all they do to help, care
for and support the residents.

Reply from Jenny Boulton, General Manager Amberley at Amberley Hall Care Home

Dearest relative, you have also shown great support and kindness to the team at Amberley Hall through some challenging times. The team pride themselves in keeping up with good responsive communication with residents, families, and the wider professional teams. Kindest regards, Amberley Hall.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.406)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.406) out of 10 for Amberley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.406 for Amberley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (190 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (31 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (6 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 313 Ratings = 4.406

  • 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 Amberley Hall Care Home is based on 24 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 24 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.
