I can honestly say that all the staff are excellent in Quarry Hall. They treat my father in law with great respect and dignity and work very hard.
Thanks for the care you provide him.

Both my parents are residents of Quarry Hall. I'm happy with the care they receive there. Mum's been in several previously and there is no comparison. Without exception, they all failed to care properly for her.
At Quarry Hall everyone is kind and genuinely seems to care how Mum is and does their best
for her.
She can be a bit difficult to understand but as they've got to know her they've been able to translate and lessen her frustration.

My grandmother has been in the home for over two months now, we as a family have found the home to be excellent. My grandmother has settled in very well without any problems. The home has lovely surroundings and wildlife. The home provided lovely activities throughout the week and also takes residents
out on trips. The staff are very friendly and helpful and my nan gets on very well with all the staff. My grandmother enjoys all her meals, also family members or visitors are offered a drink and cake/biscuits. Family pets are very welcome into the home which makes my nan smile.

My Mum has been a Dementia resident of this home for 2 years now. Throughout, the staff have been caring and attentive. They do a difficult job, very well. Management is very accessible. All staff have been friendly and supportive to the family. Regular activities are organised and Mum particularly
enjoys the Friday singing. Cleanliness is good. The staff take care to help mum dress as she would wish to be. Her room is always clean and tidy.

My mother is new to Quarry Hall and needs a dementia nursing resource. The transition from hospital has naturally been difficult for her at the age of 91 and she has presented some challenges.
I have been very impressed by the staff who have tried hard to understand and meet her complex needs. She
relates well to them and they have been extremely kind and caring.
The management is excellent and always available, approachable and looking to resolve any issues as they arise.

My mum was treated very well, staff were always on hand to support her and ensure her stay was enjoyable. She was allowed her independence but they made sure she knew they were there if she needed them.
The home is very pleasant, clean and provides a very friendly, homely atmosphere.

I found Quarry Hall Care Home to be a lovely, warm welcoming place for my mum to spend her last days. The staff looked after her so well with dignity and I had no worries leaving her there. She was taken on trips, had her hair done, had poetry and song sessions. My friend's brother was there and she
had recommended Quarry Hall Care Home to me (Mum died on January 1st 2017).

My father has been at Quarry Hall Care Home for nearly two years now. He is very settled at the home. The carers are excellent and work extremely hard to meet every resident's needs although sometimes they are quite stretched if a lack of resources are not available. The management are very approachable
and nothing is ever too much trouble. They have disciplined staff when needed and advised us. The entertainment staff are also excellent, gentleman afternoons. Ladies tea, afternoon tea which includes the relatives as well.

The care my Mum gets from all the staff down on Quarry Gardens is fabulous. I call all times of the day and night to visit my Mum and they are all busy doing their work with the clients. My Mum is always kept clean and tidy and hair always done. There are lots of things going on and always plenty of
food for the clients. Very happy with the care my Mum gets. The staff work very hard and are always there if I need advice for my Mum.

My aunt moved onto Quarry Hall in October. Staff have helped her to settle well. Staff are polite and friendly to her of our family.
The home is spotless and well cared for.
The renovations to the tea room are lovely and taking residents her is like taking them out to a cafe especially for those in
later stages of dementia.

As a family, we have appreciated the way in which the management team at Quarry Hall have guided us through the pathway of care and support options suitable for our mum.


We have been given time and a listening ear, as we have all sought to keep mum's needs at the centre of her care planning. An open-door

approach means that this process can flex as mum's needs change. Thank you.

I find Quarry Hall Home extremely caring, respectful, homely and friendly. The staff are very helpful, friendly and inclusive. The standard of care is excellent. The cleanliness of the home is above average from what I've seen and been told. The facilities are very good. Activities are there for those
who want to take part but never forced. The security and comfort we get from our father being in this home has made the adjustment much easier than expected.

Very good security, all staff very helpful and knowledgeable. All residents are treated with dignity always. If there are any issues e.g doctor required, always communicated immediately and in full. All staff have knowledge of resident even if not directly involved in care. The management team are always
available if there are any queries and very helpful. Housekeeping to a very good standard.

Fantastic place! My mum seems very happy, content and settled in Quarry Hall. Staff are lovely, very patient and always have time to talk. The home is immaculate and always kept clean and tidy. The only small niggle I have is that some clothing we brought in has disappeared but I know a new labelling
system is now in place. Special mention to the managers and all the carers who are superb. The activities team are excellent too - always on the go. Oh and the cakes are fab!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Quarry 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.689 for Quarry Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (164 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.689

  • 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 Quarry Hall Care Home is based on 17 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 17 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.
