We live a long way away and so arrive unannounced, we are always impressed with the cleanliness of the home and the huge amounts of activities offered to the residents. Having also had a meal there, the food was appetising and there was a good choice of options.

The manager and care providers are faultless in the way my mother receives her care. We have never had any concerns about the quality of accommodation, meals or treatment provided.
We are always kept informed if there are any concerns about changes to mother's health.
A very dedicated and professional

My dad has been a resident at Hamilton park nursing home for nearly 6 months now and in that time his health has greatly improved. The Manager and staff are amazing so very friendly and compassionate. Dad now gets up every morning with help from the staff and is taken down to the lounge, dad has become
very socially interactive. The care home is excellent the manager and staff work so very hard to keep all the residents happy and feel like they are part of a big family. Thank you so much to everyone at Hamilton Park Nursing home for giving dad his life back.

Dad, who suffers from dementia, has been a resident at Hamilton Park Nursing home since July 2024. Since his admission all of the staff have been fantastic, they absolutely get Dad's needs, which are many both physical and medical, and meet them. Nothing is too much for the staff to support Dad, they
are compassionate, friendly and extremely caring, each and every one of them knows Dad and his needs. Dad is not left alone for hours on end, every day they get him out of bed, dressed and take him down to the lounge with other residents. He is fed well and his personal care is well catered for. I cannot praise, the manager, and all her staff for all that they are doing for Dad, knowing the care that they are giving makes it so much easier for us as a family. Thank you to all of the staff in recognising Dad is still a human being and for treating him as such.

I have Power of Attorney for a friend who has no relatives but is part of our church family.
He was taken ill in early June and despite 4 months in hospital trying to rehabilitate him to go home, they failed to get him out of bed.
Various Care Homes in our town were approached about offering him a
place and in the end Hamilton Park were the only place to do so.
I must say that they have been absolutely wonderful, the staff are so friendly, compassionate and caring. Nothing seems too much trouble for them. Our friend has settled well, very well looked after. The staff get him up every morning and he is taken down to the lounge, which is good for retaining social interaction. Last Sunday, he was taken to the nearby church where he has friends.
I could write so much more about the excellence of Hamilton Park, but all I can say is that they go far and beyond in doing the best they can for each resident, treating them as individuals and promoting the best for each of them.

My mother has been at Hamilton Park for 6 months and is very contented. She joins in all the activities every day, even winning the 10-pin bowling at the age of 102. Her nails are done frequently and at the moment they are sparkly silver, she enjoys the food and seems to eat everything. The best part
of the home is the caring staff, they all seem so patient and kind and retain the residents' dignity as much as possible. Sadly the building is tired, but my mother only sees the care and love she receives.

I understand you are busy however to visit and no carers on the floor at all, with residents alone downstairs is disgraceful and a severe health and safety risk.
Not the first time!

We were very sorry to read of your concerns, and are hopeful you would like to discuss these concerns further, as attempted to contact you.

Although my father was not at Hamilton for long, he received the best care from the staff, on visiting they all seemed very friendly and helpful.
The activities and food were great. My only negative would be inside the home especially the bedrooms they could do with updating.
The Manager was always
contactable and quick response.

Although the premises are old, the care home is very clean and the care given at Hamilton Park is of a very good standard. Cheerful friendly staff who are caring and sensitive to my mother's needs. Good sized bedroom with an ensuite and a nice view of trees. Plenty of activities. The food looked good.

I can honestly say that my father's stay here was short but sweet. The comfort they brought to him was amazing at his end of life. The manager is outstanding as are the staff, I would like to thank them all for every bit of help they gave me at a very difficult time. I realised that I knew one lady
who has been a carer for so much of her life and now deals with the housekeeping side but to me she will always be a carer. She helped me and stayed with me when I was so nervous about going into the room to see dad when he passed. I was also offered a drink by one of the staff they were all amazing and caring. The young lady in the office was brilliant, I can't thank them all enough. I would highly recommend Hamilton Park to anyone for their loved ones.

On my first visit, I was greeted nicely by all of the staff team and immediately made to feel very welcome (with a cup of coffee). The atmosphere in the dining/living area seemed very relaxed with enough staff evident to meet the needs of the people sitting there. The staff have since kept me fully
informed of my father's care needs, and the manager has taken the time to get to know me and to also have an active role in my father's care. The activities coordinators seem to have a genuine enthusiasm for their jobs, and there always seems to be something happening each time I have visited. I have also been very impressed with the quality of the food being offered at mealtimes.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.671)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.671) out of 10 for Hamilton Park Nursing 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.671 for Hamilton Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (214 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 283 Ratings = 4.671

  • 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 Hamilton Park Nursing Home is based on 23 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 23 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.
