From the moment my Grandma moved in to The Amwell, the staff have made her feel comfortable, safe, and truly at home. Everyone is kind, patient, and genuinely caring.


The facilities are always clean and welcoming, and there are plenty of engaging activities that keep residents happy and involved.

My Grandma particularly enjoys the weekly bingo sessions, and it's means lot to us to see happy in a loving environment.


Knowing she is in such good hands gives our family peace of mind. We are so grateful for the incredible team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality elderly care.


Thank you for all that you do!

My dad was extremely well cared for during his respite stay at The Amwell - he was happy and also very interested in the extra events. Not only were his care requirements met efficiently and promptly but the kindness and empathy of the staff was evident. For his family, visits were in a pleasant environment
and great to be able to enjoy a coffee with Dad in the Riverside lounge or garden. The management were very professional and helped at all stages of his admission and stay, facilitating extra requests promptly and in a friendly, understanding way. One could not ask for a better welcome... thank you.

Reply from Kelly Walker, Regional Director at The Amwell Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind review. We will pass on the comments to the staff that looked after your dad. We really appreciate you taking the time to review Dad's stay. If we can be of service to you in the near future please do not hesitate to contact us.

Our aunty has had a new lease of life since coming to The Amwell. Cannot fault service and care. After losing her husband she was low in spirit, and her health was deteriorating. Since coming here her mood has uplifted. She has reunited with old friends and made new ones. Overall we are so pleased she
has found a wonderful environment, with staff that look after her.

My father has been a resident now for two months and in that time the staff have made him feel very welcome and he has settled into the home well. This has given us as a family great peace of mind that he is in great hands and we can see he is being well looked after.

My Nanna moved into the care home a month ago now, the positive change in her is incredible. She was very reluctant to move into a care home at all, however today she told me that she is happy here and feels like this is her new home. She’s made friends with other residents. She loves the food and is
eating well again! She enjoys all the wonderful activities and loves getting her hair done.

My mother-in-law has been in The Amwell for about a year now. The care is great and responsive to needs. The staff is lovely and nothing is too much for them. My mother-in-law is very happy there. There are lots of activities available to do from pamper sessions to armchair yoga and use of the gym equipment
under supervision plus lots of other activities. The management is visible within the home and attended my mother-in-law’s 98th birthday celebration within the home. The home has a homely feel and is nicely presented.

The care my Dad received between mid-December and early March was absolutely perfect. The team maintained my Dad's dignity until the day he died and treated him as a friend rather than a patient/resident. When visiting Dad, my Mum and I always felt welcome and during the last two weeks of his life,
they made us feel like part of their family. We have already recommended this care home to our friends and family and would strongly recommend it to others too. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.917)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.917) out of 10 for The Amwell Care Home 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 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.917 for The Amwell Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (400 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 433 Ratings = 4.917

  • 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 The Amwell Care Home is based on 37 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 37 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.
