As mum was at end of life care I was able to visit her despite the Covid restrictions. I was always treated with great respect and was given any information I required. Mum was treated with great care and was well looked after.

My sister became a resident in Hartcliffe in April, but because of lockdown, I only got to visit her in August. She seemed very happy, and when speaking on the phone with her, she always tells me how kind everyone is to her. She says she enjoys the food and has made friends. I have been able to see
her three more times now, and she looks very relaxed. Both managers and the staff I have had dealings with have always been most helpful, and nothing is too much trouble for them. So, thank you all.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

Many thanks for your review. It has been a very difficult year for residents and their loved ones. We will continue to support in the best way we can. Thank you for your lovely comments, which I will share with the team.

I just wanted to say a huge thanks to all the staff who looked after my aunty. The nurses gave her exceptional care in this difficult time of covid, keeping me informed and giving hope, the carers looked after her, and I know at times this was very difficult, but I felt with their care I was able to
feel relaxed, sadly she died on 29/11/20, but the care she received was the best, I can't fault it. Hopefully, this will give other people peace of mind, if looking for a care home for their relatives. Hopefully, in the coming year, I may be able to give back in some way. Many thanks.

Reply from Kelly Irwin, Administration Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

Thank you for your incredibly kind words, it was a pleasure to look after your aunty; she made us all smile. I will share this lovely review with the team, who will feel very proud. Please feel free to contact us if you need us for anything.

I find that my father could not be treated any better. Very caring staff, well looked after, can't find any fault with anything at this home. As soon as was able, garden visits were arranged.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

Many thanks for this lovely review. During these strange times, it is very uplifting for the staff to receive such praise. We look forward to welcoming you back into the home as soon as we are able.

When my sister and I walked into Hartcliffe Nursing Home and was shown around by a member of the team, we knew straight away what a caring, friendly place it was. There were music and activities going on all around and the staff that we met were friendly and welcoming to us. Mum was only there a short
time but the outstanding care that she received from all nurses and care staff to the whole team of employees showed her so much compassion and love until she sadly passed away. We as a family would like to say a heartfelt thank you and God bless you all. Stay safe at these very hard times.

I don't think we could have found better care for mum for the last few years of her life. Very friendly helpful staff in so many ways and we know Mum was comfortable as she would always smile when any members of staff came into her room while we were with her. Mum didn't eat much but always enjoyed
those homemade cakes as we did. We will miss Mum so much and all the staff at Hartcliffe Nursing Home.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

Many thanks for your lovely review. The staff would also like to thank you for your comments which mean so much. Please call in anytime for a chat, we would love to see you as you have become part of the family.

My mum moved into Hartcliffe Nursing Home in May 2019, and the lovely, warm welcome she received by all the carers and staff, was second to none, she loved it there. Sadly she passed away on 21/12/2019. She was always treated with care and respect and was much appreciated by all her family, and we can't
thank them all enough.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

The nurses and carers are excellent, they are so friendly and helpful to my mother-in-law, who did not want to go into a nursing home, but we would not even be able to drag her out of there now, she loves it and is very settled. It is December and the decorations put up are amazing, the manager emphasised
how important it is to make the residents happy.
Food and cleanliness also excellent, the family can feel confident and happy Mum is in the right place. Excellent.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

The care my aunt has received at this nursing home has been excellent. The staff are so friendly and always eager to help and sort out any problems that we may have. There is always a very good choice of food at mealtimes and plenty of varied activities going on for the residents to enjoy. All in all,
I cannot fault this care home. Excellent!

Absolutely excellent, could not have asked for better care. They not only looked after my dad with great care, but they also made sure my mum, who stayed with dad for two nights until he passed away, was ok and asked if she needed any food or drink. Excellent service, thank you.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

Thank you for your review. Absolutely excellent and overall excellent is lovely to read. It is a very sad time when your loved one is end of life, so it’s as important to us to be able to offer the support to the family, and for those last days for your mum and dad to be together. I will share your review with all the staff who will welcome such lovely comments.

Throughout my brother's stay at MHA our experience has been nothing but much greater than the best from personal hygiene, to friendship, food and overall care. Staff are fantastic, not only to residents but their families. Nothing is too much trouble for them. In fact, we believe they do far more than
their role of carers require and we would like to say a big thank you to all at MHS Hartcliffe. You are all wonderful.

Reply from Rachel Clapham, Home Manager at Hartcliffe Nursing Home

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.578)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.578) out of 10 for Hartcliffe Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.578 for Hartcliffe Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (76 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 351 Ratings = 4.578

  • 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 Hartcliffe Nursing Home is based on 29 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 29 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.
