My father has recently been in Aberford Hall Care Home. All staff were so conscientious and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble for them. They carry out a very professional service at all times and at the same time having the individual touch. Everything was excellent including all care, food, drink
and very great cleaning standards. I would highly recommend to anyone. They were kind to all the family too.

My mum has now been in Aberford Hall for over 4 years. Throughout that time her care has been excellent and she has been very happy. The staff are very friendly and have gone out of their way to engage with her. Her room is comfortable and kept clean. I am now able to visit her in her room but when
this has not been possible they have facilitated skype calls. Overall I could not have wished for a better care home.

I would like to thank all the staff for the wonderful and loving care they have given my mum during respite. My mum has stayed there for 2 weeks respite and has been well looked after by all staff. My mum suffers from Alzheimer's. The staff and manager are caring people and make you feel welcome, they
can't do enough for the person staying with them and the families. Thank you all so much.

During her time at Aberford Hall, my mother's needs were well administered. She had been in and out of hospital during her stay; the home were very supportive to me and my mother during these occasions and management and staff have been more than ever the last 18 months of my mother's stay.

During the sad times of Covid-19 and unable to see my father, the staff were always there to answer the family calls, and always without fail, let us speak to my father. Their Covid procedures have been excellent, making sure everyone is safe and well and have done a great job. The staff are lovely
and hardworking. I genuinely cannot praise the carers enough. The home is well run and very clean. I can honestly say my dad is very well looked after, and it's such a great comfort to the family. I would like to thank all the working staff and definitely recommend the home.

My mum passed away at the end of March. Everyone at the home showed my mum and all her family great respect and kindness. The staff always have a smile on their faces and nothing was too much effort for Mum or her family. I was able to spend a lot of time with Mum over the last few days which I was
so grateful for. Everyone at Aberford Hall Care Home treated Mum and us as though they had lost a family member too. Words can not describe the affection and gratefulness I have for them all. There could not have been a better place for Mum.

My mum has been a resident at Aberford Hall for six years and in that time her health and wellbeing has improved immensely, this is due to the care and dedication of all the staff. In the past year not having been able to visit mum I have always known she is being well cared for via staff communication,
they have been excellent at keeping me up to date. I have no hesitation in recommending Aberford Hall to future residents.

My mother became a resident in January 2020. The day she moved in she was warmly welcomed by everyone she came into contact with. She has settled well, she loves a chat and is treated with great respect and dignity. As a family, we are extremely happy with the care Mum receives. Whenever we have telephoned
the office we have always been met with friendliness and a prompt response.
Coronavirus has caused great anxiety for all of us. We have been kept up to date regarding the current situation in the home by both telephone and letter. We could not have asked for more. It has been lovely to have the opportunity to Skype Mum and see how well she looks.

Although there is not a person in the country whose life has not been adversely affected by lockdown, none have been so severely restricted than residents of care homes. All have missed their outings and visits from family and friends.
My family has been meeting 'across the world' using video conferencing
and, when I realised that the well-being coordinator could facilitate my mother joining us, on a weekly basis, I was pleased to give it a try.
This has been successful and now my mother looks forward to meeting her grandchildren and great-grandchildren on a weekly basis. We all benefit from the joy on my mother's face as she watches the little ones playing.
Thank you to those involved in making Mum's confinement a little bit easier for her to bear.

My husband has been in Aberford Hall since November 2018. He was very poorly at first but with the care and attention he receives on a day to day basis, his health has greatly improved.
I used to visit on a daily basis but since the COVID crisis, of course this hasn't been possible. At first we kept
in touch by the home's mobile phone and then with the help of the manager, we had the pleasure of seeing each other using Skype on her IPad. Since then, the IT co-ordinator has been great in facilitating regular sessions using Zoom. This has allowed both our children, in London and in Leeds to see their Dad virtually on a weekly basis, this has made a tremendous difference to us as a family. It has also allowed my husband to see our two granddaughters. Without help, my husband's incapacity would have made this quite impossible. During these difficult months he has been able to enjoy seeing them grow and change.
A big thank you to the staff at Aberford for all you do.

I can honestly say that myself and family feel very lucky to have got our mum into this superb care home. Every single one of the Carers are so helpful and nice to our mum and can’t do enough for mum or us. In the middle of the Coronavirus lockdown and all the staff are handling the situation very well
and anytime we call they can’t do enough for us. If you are offered a place here for your loved ones snatched their hand off because they really can’t go into a nicer, better run home.

My mother was a resident from April to October 2019 when she passed away. During this time myself and the whole family were impressed with the care and attention that my mother received during her stay.
Towards the end of my mother's life the staff were extremely kind and caring, not only to my mother
but to any of the family members who were visiting at a very difficult time.
I can't praise the home and its staff highly enough and would not hesitate to recommend Aberford Hall to anyone looking for a rest home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Aberford Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.796 for Aberford Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (148 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 186 Ratings = 4.796

  • 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 Aberford Hall Care Home is based on 16 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
