My wife was a resident at Goodwins Hall for 5 months until, sadly, she died. From the start the staff (at all levels) were very friendly and attentive, treating her with dignity and kindness and never too busy to have a chat with me. Even when her condition worsened and she became unable to respond
they continued to care for her with kindness. At that stage, there was never any suggestion that, as a self payer, we would have to pay more, in spite of the extra work involved. Her family is grateful that she was able to remain at Goodwins Hall until the end came, rather than be moved to a hospital.

My father stayed here for two weeks, so my mum could have a rest. The staff have been so helpful and very friendly. My father has felt so at ease and comfortable and said it has been like "home from home". Lovely food.

I have found the staff and management professional, yet relaxed. A lovely cheery atmosphere within the home. I visited with a group of family and friends and they all agreed it seems more like a hotel than a residential home. In my previous review I didn't rate the room as excellent. I feel I should
clarify this. It was simply because ideally I would have liked the room to be a bit bigger. However, it is warm, nicely decorated and with a nice view of the garden. Today my mum said she feels settled and happy which is all anyone can ask.

The home is welcoming, relaxed and more like a hotel than residential care. My dad was happy here. Staff were friendly and engaging, food was very good as were activities arranged for residents. The ability to make tea and coffee when they wanted is also very important for residents.

I come to Goodwins to rest after coming out of hospital. I really enjoyed myself. Staff got me back on my feet again. I made some lovely friends and the staff were amazing, would come back anytime. The deputy manager came to see me in hospital and greeted me when I arrived.
It made a difference seeing
a familiar face, smiling and happy to see me.

My husband was a resident at Goodwins Hall for from February 2016 until his death on 28th September. In that time, he was treated with great respect, received loving care and at the end of his life was constantly monitored to ensure what time he had left was as comfortable as possible. The staff did
their best to keep him clean and happy and always tried to encourage him to take an interest in their activities.
He enjoyed the well-kept gardens and the Sunday church service every month.

When I visit my mother, I find her very happy, clean and in good spirits. She enjoys staying at the home and is happy with the care she receives.
I find the home light, clean with no unpleasant smells. The staff are always friendly and willing to help if I have a problem.

It is now almost two years since Dad was discharged from hospital with a very poor prognosis for any improvement in mobility or cognition, he needed 24-hour care.


We had been told by hospital staff that he would make no further progress so was not able to benefit from rehab. The very professional

care he received at Goodwin's proved them wrong.


Yesterday, when I arrived to visit, Dad had just had a walk in the sunshine around the beautiful garden, with a walking aid but independently!


As a family, we know that the dedication, friendly and totally professional care he has received at Goodwin's has given us so much precious extra time with Dad.


Dad has retained much of his lost independence in a homely setting but with the backup of 24-hour care. I can honestly say that the staff members, without exception, display genuine care and empathy with the residents and extend that to us as family.

Excellent care given to my husband - a short period of time given - but no complaints at all.
Would recommend to friends etc. Or anyone who is in need of help.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.416)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.416) out of 10 for Goodwins 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 26 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 4.416 for Goodwins Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (116 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 303 Ratings = 4.416

  • 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 Goodwins 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, 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.
