We arrived around 11am to visit our friend for the first time here. We felt the foyer to be warm and friendly, giving a good first impression. All the staff were pleasant and helpful and appeared to really care about the residents.
The coffee machine is a great idea. It gave us chance to sit quietly
whilst our friend's wife was able to chat with him.
We felt his room was warm and comfortable and what a view!
We both have had relatives in good care homes and Goodwin's Hall ranked with them in every aspect.
Thank you

All the staff were really helpful - the admin, the carers and the nursing staff.
They did their best to make my mum as happy and comfortable as they could.

Still being mobile and able to walk around with a stick took me longer to really settle in and accept my changed lifestyle. their many facilities. I am now happy and the help and care is wonderful. Goodwins is surrounded by well-kept gardens which I am lucky enough to be able to walk around and enjoy.
The staff and helpers are trained to work as a team which is very important and can be seen wheeling residents out and about. I am happy how to call it my home and enjoy the respect I get.

My mother has been in Goodwins Hall for 18 months (age 92) and my sister (down syndrome - age 56) has been here also for 3 years. The care they receive is satisfactory. Some staff are kinder than others. Food is good but my mother needs a soft option as she is unable to chew, this has not been seen
to. Clothing gets lost and also gets ruined sometimes in the laundry. Staff do not consider colour coordination which would be a great help. Clothes are just put any old how in the drawers. Too much boxed medication stored in the resident's rooms, but on the whole, quite good.

I have seen and been in a lot of care homes, but I must say this care home is totally outstanding in every way. They relate to the residents in a brilliant and compassionate way, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend this home to anyone because they are courteous to every need with outstanding
staff!!

Goodwins Hall Nursing & Residential Care Home is a very friendly and caring home as soon as you arrive there is always someone to greet you, regardless of their status very helpful always. The home is in need of refurbishment, they are average. Furnishing looking very tired. All this is taking place
in the spring I understand. My husband is being well cared for and happy. As a family we are very satisfied, I may well join them at a later date.

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.
