Really happy with all the care my dad is getting at Aberford Hall, much more importantly my dad has settled in great and has made friends. All the facilities are excellent and he enjoys the food. Finally, all the staff are friendly, helpful and nothing seems too much.

The regular staff are fantastic and many have been here a long time. This is ideal as residents and staff know each other well. The home is very well managed and any potential problems are dealt with promptly. The rooms are fairly small and the staff must find it very challenging when they have to use
hoists and shuffle beds, wheelchairs etc, in a small space. The rooms need to be better ventilated in the summer - more fans. Staff must have been very hot this last summer and too hot in bedrooms.

Aberford Hall is a friendly, excellent home for elderly people. The staff are caring, hard working and will go to the next level for all the residents. Held a wonderful party for a lady that was 100 years old. I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you, Aberford Hall.

I am so glad my father-in-law has moved to Aberford Hall. Before he came he was spending 95% of every month in hospital, since being at Aberford Hal he has only had 1 or 2 trips which is such a big change. We are no longer waiting for the call to say he is back in hospital. The staff are great and when
he did fall (his fault) when the buzzer was pressed I have never seen so many people appear and I was so impressed. We can relax as we know he is safe.

It is the most amazing place. The staff are so caring nothing is too much trouble. The home is clean and the whole of the patients are all happy. When we came to look at Aberford Hall we knew that this was the home for our mother-in-law and can say I would come here if I needed care.
Thanks to all

From the first time I met with management, I had a very good feeling about having my mum reside here. All the staff are very friendly and helpful towards my mum. The whole building is clean and mum is very happy with the food and facilities. If she's happy, so am I.

They made my mum extremely comfortable when she came here from the hospital. She was very settled and relaxed after a stressful move from the hospital. The staff are extremely supportive, very caring and understanding, couldn't ask for more.

My brother is getting the best of care here at Aberford Hall. All the staff are excellent with him, just like one of their own family. I have seen this for myself, it keeps him happy. I must say our brother would not be here today if it was not for the care he gets.
He gets on very well with everybody
from the top down. May God bless them. It makes me feel good to know he's happy.

Unfortunately Mum was only a resident at Aberford Hall for a short time before she passed away. We found all the staff to be friendly, caring and welcoming and were very quickly made to feel part of the family. Mum couldn't have had better care in her final days.

Mother-in-law was cared for during 6 months period of palliation following diagnosis with a brain tumour. The staff were polite, supportive and attentive. They supported the three brothers with effective end of life care planning.


She really enjoyed the activities and the food and they provided a

really lovely last Christmas. She was confused and a bit difficult at times and they showed understanding and empathy.

Life in a care home can be a strange business in my opinion, especially if the person concerned is somewhat incapacitated and not always feeling on top form. After a stroke, my mother's prospects did not look good, but her determination kept her going and we are pleased that we found Aberford Hall
Care Home to meet her needs. She had a comfortable, homely, room with a relaxing view of the garden. When she was well enough, she was taken to the lounge and we often joined her for a cup of tea, or to see an entertainer, or take part in floor dominoes and 'keep fit'. On her 'off days', her room was a calm place, and with the door open, there was comforting busyness going on in the building.
We always found Aberford Hall Care Home to be a welcoming, calm, safe place, with friendly staff working tirelessly to look after the people living there.
Thank you to everyone at Aberford Hall Care Home.

Aberford Hall is always clean and tidy.
The staff are friendly and always willing to help when I have a request or a problem to be dealt with.
My aunt requires the support of a qualified nurse and I have never needed to question if she is well looked after.
She has dementia and is often unaware of
what is going on around her but appears happy and contented.

My Dad has been cared for over three and a half years in this care home. The service provided by the nurses and carers is the best I know. My Dad is cared for 24/7 and the staff is his 2nd family. If there are any problems, the Management deal with it immediately and efficiently. I have nothing bad
to say about Aberford Hall and I will recommend it to anyone.

Throughout her time at Aberford Hall my mother was cared for with great affection, respect and a sense of humour by all the staff. Having visited regularly for about 20 months, I have always been impressed by the warm welcome I received and the friendliness and attention given to residents.


During

her final illness, the carers were kind and attentive to my mother and very supportive to me and my family.

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.
