My mother has been a resident at Mount Hall Care Home for over four years. During this time, she has been looked after with care, compassion and patience. The home is always very clean, and the meals served are varied and nutritional. There is always plenty to keep residents happy with entertainment
and activities; although my mother is not always able to join in, there is lots to watch. Has a family atmosphere.

Reply from Eden Tomlinson, Customer Service Adviser at Mount Hall Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. It is always nice to hear words like “Compassion” and “Patience” being used to describe our care. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your mother's stay as comfortable as possible.

Having to move my mum from another care home, and having had almost a year of hospitals and nursing care, my mum needed a home that offered good all round day care. Mount Hall staff were understanding of my mother's and our needs, they have provided a lovely room, which is great as she refuses to leave
it, even to go for meals. It's early days, but the staff have all been very helpful to make my mum's stay as comfortable as possible.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Mount Hall Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We hope Mount Hall Care Home did everything possible to make the transition as easy as possible not only for your mum but for you as well. It is always nice to hear from family members feeling like their loved one is cared for and looked after. We hope to continue providing her with the best possible care and we look forward to seeing you soon.

Whenever I visit the home I always receive a friendly greeting, all the staff are pleasant and well turned out. They are always ready to discuss/help with any problems or queries I have - nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. My husband is well cared for, kept clean and tidy and well nourished.
The activities are well thought out and provide mental stimulation. There is always plenty of encouragement to participate in events and activities. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the home and my husband's treatment.

I cannot think of a better place for my mother to be. She is looked after with such care and attention. The staff are attentive and supportive of her needs. They take the time to get to know needs, wishes and feelings. Very supportive of family members and informative to support the care process. Thank
you for all you do.

My mother came to the home following a stroke. She has been welcomed, cared for, entertained and treated with dignity and respect at all times when life has been stressful and difficult for her.
Any adjustment to her life has been smooth and efficient.
This is as good as it gets.

I spent twelve days at Mount Hall Care Home in my recuperation, following a knee replacement. Although there were occasional 'hiccups' and small lapses, these were no more than might be expected in a complex organisation using many staff and treating clients, many with complex needs. Overall, the standard
of care shown to me was very high quality. The staff were courteous, friendly and efficient and I enjoyed my stay at Mount Hall. It helped in promoting an effective recovery after a difficult operation.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Mount Hall Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave your kind review. It is always nice to hear from previous residents feeling like they were cared for and looked after. Hopefully, you will go away from this feeling like you received the best possible care and thank you for choosing Mount Hall for your stay.

We cannot praise the staff at Mount Hall Care Home enough for the care given to my mother-in-law during the last few weeks of her life. She was treated with kindness, care and with dignity and compassion by everyone. Excellent care, beautiful setting, wonderful staff.

Came to visit my friend that resides at Mount Hall on Saturday. Such a great atmosphere. She always says how wonderful the staff are and how much is always going on. We were all treated to afternoon tea for the Coronation, which was super and a glass of bubbles to boot.

After Covid I feel that the home has declined in as much as the food, overall cleanliness and attention to detail has slipped, all the original staff have left and the void I feel has been filled largely by agency staff. I understand that this is largely unavoidable, but several times I have had to
mention Mum's dirty room. She herself seems content which is good but there is room for improvement.

Reply from David Mclean, Customer Service Adviser at Mount Hall Care Home

Thank you for your feedback and we have discussed your feedback with the home’s manager to help them continually improve their service. We are sorry that you feel the standards have slipped following covid at Mount Hall. However, the home has confirmed that they have a full team of Bupa staff onboard, who have been carefully selected for their caring qualities and expertise. They have recruited a chef manager who has worked at one of our other Bupa homes and has vast experience, along with 2 new hostesses and 2 new kitchen assistants. We have a full team of 3 activity coordinators, we continue to offer stimulating and meaningful activities. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to make your Mum's stay as comfortable as possible.

We were very grateful that Mount Hall was able to take my father at short notice at the end of October. My mother joined him at Mount Hall in early December. Despite the facility being situated in an old building, the rooms are well-appointed and the facilities good.
The nursing staff were very good
in caring for my parents. However, I got the impression that the home is generally understaffed which gave rise to a number of issues. Meal times were irregular with the afternoon meal often being around 16h30 after lunch at 13h30. A menu choice was not always provided and even when it was, they often received the incorrect meal. The food was sometimes cold.
My father has to be washed and dressed and sometimes he was left in bed until late morning.
Washing of clothes was taking a week with many items seemingly going missing.
In general, the above issues notwithstanding, my parents were well-cared for during their stay (they have now moved to a home in another part of the country).

My Mum who is 92 became a resident at Mount Hall in 2022 and our family couldn't be happier after we experienced a not-so-successful stay in a previous residential care home where the politics of mixing residents at a residential care home with dementia patients, didn't work out for several reasons.
All the staff are outstanding, the food is superb, the cleanliness is fantastic, the rooms are exquisite, the surrounding setting is so peaceful and all in all, you will not get all these ticks in the box at any other home, rest assured, I've done the research!
Mount Hall Residential Care Home is awesome and this can be contributed in large to the excellent home manager, who is so passionate in the way she runs it and how she maintains high standards throughout.
What are you waiting for, make the call!

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Mount Hall Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We are very happy to hear you can feel so at ease now having your Mum in our home and hope to continue providing her with the best care possible.

Warm welcome on arrival. Met by main staff members who have all been very helpful and kind. Trouble with my hearing so difficult to understand and hear some staff members but they are all very respectful. Food in my room could be hotter.
On the whole an agreeable stay to get me back on my feet and
able to go home.

Mounthall Care Home is fantastic. The manager leads an excellent team. The level of care is outstanding. Mum is very well cared for. Her room is always clean and fresh. There are a variety of delicious meal choices. Thank you.
Throughout the week there is a range of activities, crafts, music entertainment,
visits, and enjoyable therapy animal sessions.
The nursing team know the residents very well and do an excellent job.
All of this loving care at Mounthall Care Home, in a beautiful rural Cheshire setting with breathtaking views.
Mum is very happy and a huge thank you to all the staff.

My sister has been so happy to spend her last weeks being cared for at Mount Hall Care Home. The house is set in well-kept, mostly lawned, gardens surrounded by fields. It is relatively small and has a welcoming, intimate feeling about it, exactly what my sister and I were looking for. Being able to
bring favourite items of furniture made her lovely en-suite room feel instantly more like home and on moving-in day, everyone went out of their way to help my sister settle in. The care she has received has been excellent and as her illness has progressed all the staff have been unfailingly kind and caring, treating her with dignity and cheerfulness. I have felt much reassured that my sister is happy and is in exactly the right place. The bottom line is my sister (and I) feel we could not have made a better choice for her than Mount Hall.

My dad spent his last few months in Mount Hall. What a beautiful and serene place it is, surrounded by nature and lovely grounds. Before he was too ill, Dad was able to join in with activities; going to Shrigley Hall for afternoon tea with Mum and other residents; he enjoyed the Jubilee celebrations,
particularly the Samba band! As Dad was a great reader, the activities organiser went out of her way to get books to match his interests, and encouraged him to join in with activities. All the staff were brilliant, particularly in Dad's last few weeks, both with him and with the family. They were caring, supportive and empathetic and made every effort to help us all deal with Dad's illness and passing, I cannot thank them enough.

Reply from Rebecca Kellegher, Customer Service Adviser at Mount Hall Care Home

We appreciate you taking the time to leave us your review. It is really nice to hear that your dad was encouraged to get involved in the activities at Mount Hall before he became too ill and that the staff were caring and supportive not only for your dad but to you and the family as well. Thank you for choosing Mount Hall and hopefully you will go away from this feeling like your dad received the best care possible.

I stayed at Mount Hall Care Home for one week after having a hip replacement. The staff were welcoming and my room was nice. During my stay, my medication was monitored and dispensed exactly as prescribed. I was given as much help as I required and all the staff were friendly.

It is a real relief that things at Mount Hall are beginning to feel a lot more normal now that most of the Covid restrictions are relaxed. It is such a tranquil place in its rural setting and it was good to see some residents once again having tea outside on a sunny May afternoon when I arrived to visit
my dad. Staff are so friendly and kind and they not only understand Dad's care needs but appreciate his character very well. His abilities to join in activities are very limited now but he is encouraged to participate when he can and his interest in books and reading are well supported. I am always able to go away reassured that he is well cared for in a lovely place.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.721)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.721) out of 10 for Mount Hall Care 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 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 4.721 for Mount Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (276 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 355 Ratings = 4.721

  • 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 Mount Hall Care 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 33 registered maximum number of service users is 6.6, 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.
