I have known of five 'oldies' that I have recommended to go into Chamberlain Court Care Home over the past few years. Two people for respite care and three for full-time care. All of them have been extremely well looked after and loved being at the home. It is a very interactive home and there is always
some lovely activity to get involved in all of the time. You could also, if you want, just sit in the café and help yourself to a coffee, cake and a newspaper and sit quietly or even in the fabulous garden. I have always said to people who are looking for a care home for their loved ones, the most fundamental importance is the food, and Chamberlain Court's food is first-class. The care and nursing staff are also very good and kind to their residents. I would most definatly recommend Chamberlain Court to anyone who is looking for a care home for their loved one.

My wife and I visited my sister and her husband and were pleasantly impressed with the general atmosphere of this home. The facilities appeared to be constructive for a normal life and the staff were most helpful. The dining room menus made us feel quite hungry. Should my "wellbeing" deteriorate and
if I could afford it this home would be my first choice.

My father has dementia and is unsettled, no detriment to the staff or care whatsoever. He will say he doesn't like being there (he wants to be with my Mum) and he doesn't like anyone else who is staying there (though we know he chats to them). However, he always says how much he loves the staff and
how good they are. Dementia patients don't lie! Thank you all so much.

My mother moved to Chamberlain Court soon after my father's death. Her move was handled quickly with great sensitivity to her needs. My mother's care has been second to none, I feel confident that her individual needs are met at all times, she is now contented in her new home, where I as her daughter
also feel welcomed and supported. Thank you to all involved.

My mother has now been at Chamberlain Court for nearly 2 years. The care and engagement with Mum, and the communication with me, throughout that time has been superb, even in some pretty dark moments - and despite having been constrained by Covid for more than half the period. Mum is, despite the ups
and downs and other distractions of the last 12 months, as comfortable and happy now as at any time in the last 2 years. I cannot thank all of those involved in looking after her enough.

My aunt was not managing alone at home despite three daily visits from carers. She withdrew into herself spending time in her bed or sitting in a chair. Most of the time she was crying saying she did not want this anymore. We contacted Chamberlain Court and after being shown round decided this was the
place for her. Within two weeks my aunt was coming out of her room and joining in most of the many activities on offer. My aunt, although having dementia, was back to her old self. Her room is fantastic and kept really clean. The meals are on a par with a five-star hotel. The staff are very caring and helpful. I cannot praise it enough.

The care my mother received through three years in residence at Chamberlain Court was excellent. She was understood by the team and her needs were always met. The staff knew her well and she felt she had friends supporting her when her family couldn't be with her. I received enormous support through
my mother's final months and despite the huge responsibly the team carried to protect the home from Covid risks, everything was done to help me be alongside my mother to say goodbye. The compassion and support, professionalism and kindness of the staff was exceptional.

Due to Covid, my mother had to isolate for 10 days when she arrived from hospital. The staff quickly understood her needs and gave much-needed company and support. They are cheerful and helpful without being patronising. Since coming out of isolation, they have successfully encouraged social interaction
and my mother is happy and settled in a modern and comfortable environment. I do not hesitate to recommend Chamberlain Court for its excellent staff and facilities.

My mother has been at Chamberlain Court since January 2020. In that time, visiting has been restricted due to Coronavirus. When I have been able to visit, my mum has always been cheerful and well-groomed. I'm always contacted by the care team if there are any problems. I'm just so happy my mum is at

Perhaps the best way to describe our experience is to summarise by stating that mother liked her room and made it her new home with her clothes, photo albums and music recordings. She cherished the days her beloved hairdresser came to her rescue every Friday. For me and my sister, the care home gave
us all the assurance of protection and needed care.

My mother arrived in Chamberlain Court in June 2019. She had dementia. It is a fantastic place with staff who are wonderful. She passed away on 11th December 2020 and through this whole time was well looked after by caring, committed people. They looked after me too as it was a difficult time. The actual
care home is lovely but it is the staff who make the place so special. The work they do is amazing, especially through Covid. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.861)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.861) out of 10 for Hallmark Chamberlain Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.861 for Hallmark Chamberlain Court is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 295 Ratings = 4.861

  • 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 Hallmark Chamberlain Court is based on 25 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 25 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.
