The change from Hendon Hall hotel to Signature at Hendon Hall has been incredible and captured much of the building's history in warmth and style. The activities, ease, food and atmosphere have been excellent and they have made residents and family very welcome. Client liaison has been very professional
and first rate and deal with all issues promptly and in a reassuring way. The team has been very kind and thoughtful in settling mum into the new environment and gone out of their way to help her fit in.

I will never be able to thank the care team at Hendon Hall enough. From the very warm welcome on the day my lovely mum moved in, to her last days, even caring for me who slept in the room with mum for her final five nights. The entire team treated mum with dignity, respect and with such kindness. We
enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea to celebrate mum's birthday, again the team helped us create special memories. Hendon Hall is a truly exceptional place.

I found my two-week stay in Signature on respite an excellent experience.
The home was run magnificently. Remarkably clean with a very friendly and efficient staff.
The ambience and the varied activities all helped the residents to a wholesome life, even the food for a care home was excellent.

My mum has dementia but is fiercely independent so moving her to a care home has not been an easy decision. The staff have been amazing and my mum talks of how kind they are. This means everything to us, to know she is safe, treated with dignity and respect and warm kindness. The facilities are impressive,
there are lots of activities and the food is very, very good. It's very much like a hotel in many respects. I'm so glad she's there.

Reply from Rakhee Popat, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at Hendon Hall

Thank you so much for your very kind review! It's always great to hear such positive feedback from family members, especially when they see their loved ones thriving in our environment. Of course, it's our pleasure having your mum here at Signature Hendon Hall.

My sister-in-law was admitted when very weak from Barnet Hospital. She was suffering end-stage cancer. Three weeks on she is eating well, having lots of visitors and taking part in the life of Hendon Hall.
I am so impressed by the medical and care staff who go out of their way to support and reassure.
They are extremely professional, friendly and a joy to meet. The home is very luxurious with great activities, cinema, entertainment and bridge. I recommend Signature at Hendon Hall unreservedly.

Two weeks of respite after a knee operation, mainly to be able to see the visiting physio twice a day. I was in previously in September/October 2022 for a month after another knee operation. Although mainly for longer-term, older residents, I think you could develop more for the short-term, respite
for post-operations. You would need just to have a physio room.
Generally a great facility.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to submit this review. By coincidence, yesterday we had a planning meeting to put together a rehabilitation plan, including a room as you suggest. We appreciate the feedback. Best wishes to you.

My father has been at Signature for over 2 years. He is very well cared for and very happy. The staff are excellent. It doesn't feel like a care home, more like a 5-star hotel.

An excellent, luxurious and caring environment with staff of the highest quality who put the residents first and make them feel very special. Such standards of care give huge comfort to family members knowing their relative is being so well cared for. My only criticism is the food which is often quite
unappealing and not very tempting. It shouldn't be difficult to improve the food.

Reply from Rakhee Popat, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at Hendon Hall

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback about our home and care! We do have 3 choices of mains during lunch service and 2 choices of mains during dinner service. We also have the light bites menu throughout the day which is another option. We are not aware of any food concerns from your relative so will go and speak with her to see if we can offer food choices more to her liking.

I'd like to take this opportunity to wholeheartedly thank you for all the hard work you've done to make my mum's transition into Signature Care Home such a pleasant one, two months ago when she fell ill I started to build a team of professionals around us to help her and us, I came to see you and during
our first meeting I knew that she would be in great hands since then the service, care and compassion you have provided us has been nothing short of first-class, you've been so patient and understanding throughout the process. I'd also like to extend my sincere gratitude to the team of nurses there who acted with such speed and professionalism when she became dangerously ill, I would also like to thank the entire team that has welcomed her back with such love.
Signature at Hendon together with its team really is an amazing place and I now have peace of mind that my mother is in the best possible place.

Mum needed two weeks after being in hospital for a month. The handover from hospital was done really well by the home but obviously not by the hospital. The facility is amazing like a 5-star hotel.
The staff were attentive as much as they could be as Mum spent time in her room initially.
She then
enjoyed the outdoor areas when the weather allowed it.
All in all, she was really well looked after.

Reply from Rakhee Popat, Client Liaison Manager at Signature at Hendon Hall

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We will pass your feedback on to all of our staff. We are so glad mum's getting better and will continue to look after her at Hendon Hall!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.803)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.803) out of 10 for Signature at Hendon Hall 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.803 for Signature at Hendon Hall is calculated as follows: ( (393 Excellents x 5) + (83 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 482 Ratings = 4.803

  • 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 Signature at Hendon Hall is based on 41 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 102 registered maximum number of service users is 20.4, which has been reached with 41 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.

I am delighted to have joined the team at Signature Hendon Hall. I have been working in care homes for over 10 years and love supporting people to make the right decision about caring for their loved ones.

Fiona

Fiona Dennehy

Job Title: Clinical Services Manager

After qualifying with a Master in Nursing Science in 2012, I have been lucky enough to work throughout the UK and Australia within a wide range of specialities including accident and emergency, private health care, a maximum security prison and within a hospice. Whilst at the hospice, I moved quickly into management and became responsible for a team of wonderful nurses and carers, delivering specialist end-of-life care and symptom management to those with life-limiting diseases. I also led infection control, to ensure practice on the wards was both safe and up-to-date with any policy changes. I have worked in the care sector all my life and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. There is nothing more rewarding than making a positive impact on the lives of others and witnessing this first-hand. I have a clear passion for person-centred care, empowering others to become active participants and this is why I was attracted to Signature at Hendon Hall due to its ethos and values. I look forward to the challenges a new home represents, joining a fabulous team and the relationships that we will build with residents and their loved ones.

Fathiya

Fathiya Hassan

Job Title: Assisted Living Care Manager

Joined: 2022

I have worked in care for 12 years, having started first in domiciliary care, then as a Care Assistant in a care home where I progressed to Team Leader. I gained my NVQ2 in Health and Social Care during this time. I have mostly worked in dementia care. Prior to that, I had worked in business administration, but I felt that due to having three children, care would suit me better. Having come from Africa where care homes are not available when my grandad became unwell, I wished more support could have been available for him. I now work in memory of him and give 100% to make him proud. When I joined Signature, I was looking for progression and development. I started as a Care Supervisor, then was promoted to Assisted Living Care Manager. The growth I desired has been available to me and I am excited to progress even further in the future. I have learnt a lot and I work with a great group of people who really feel like a family.

Signature reflects the luxury standards I value, and it’s deeply rewarding to care for the elderly.

Job Title: Head chef

After working in the licensed trade for 25 years, I joined Signature at Bentley House, before transferring to Signature at Barnet (now Avery Barnet Grange Care Home) for their opening. During this time, I entered the NACC Chef of The Year competition, reaching the Regional Finals in 2021, 2022 and 2023 and progressing to the National Finals in 2021 and 2023. What I enjoy most about Signature at Hendon Hall is the interaction with the residents. I feel this is a major highlight, as I get to know them individually and can discuss their dietary needs. Doing so, I am about to find out their likes and dislikes, which I can then share with the rest of the kitchen team, therefore providing the best dining experience possible, whilst fulfilling their nutritional requirements.
