My father has just come to the end of two weeks respite at Kew House.
Our experiences with Kew House have been positive right from the beginning I.e. My contact with the Customer Relations Manager to the finish of his stay. The premises are bright and cheerful and well maintained and the care and kindness
of the staff have been excellent. All my father's visitors have said how impressed they have been with what they have seen. I would highly recommend Kew House.

We were delighted with the care that Mum received at Kew House. She was well looked after by the staff and they really made an effort to get her to participate in activities. It is a very happy place and you are always greeted with a smile. There seems to be a very good team spirit amongst all the staff,
this includes the housekeeping team, maintenance team, carers, management and all other staff, which means the home seems to run efficiently.
Residents are treated with dignity and staff always seem to have time to chat to them and take a real interest in their stories. There are some truly remarkable caring people working at Kew House. As a visitor you are always made to feel welcome and at home.

My relative was at Kew House for just under 5 years. She was cared for extremely well by loving and caring staff. Communication by the staff to me as next of kin has been very good too. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. During my aunt's time at Kew House, she has taken part in numerous activities
and enjoyed visits from musicians, children and those of animal therapists among others. The staff always greet visitors on arrival and make you feel very welcome with offers of refreshments. Thank you to everyone at Kew House.

My husband was a respite resident at Kew House for two weeks in November. The staff all remembered him from a stay earlier in the year and we were both welcomed and made to feel at home. It’s not easy leaving your partner in the care of others but I trust the staff at Kew House to look after him with
respect and affection and I felt relaxed immediately. In our experience, the care and concern goes right across the staff. It’s not just the care and the activities teams but the guys on maintenance, the people who do the laundry and the kitchen staff who all greeted us warmly and take a pride in their work. The family visited several times and my husband was always well cared for and cheerful and he enjoyed the food especially. During the stay, I saw lots of interactions between the staff and other permanent residents and was struck by the kindness and the patience shown. Many thanks to all of the team.

My husband has now been in Kew House Wimbledon on three respite stays.
I cannot recommend the home on the staff enough.
The atmosphere is very happy and there are many activities.
The staff are kind, helpful and cheerful. There are no nasty smells.
We look forward to having more respite.

My 95 year old father-in-law was wonderfully cared for during the last year of his life. As a rather independent gentleman, he was able to enjoy as much as he could manage, supported to be as independent as he wished. He brought with him some of his own furniture, his TV, exercise bike and mobility
scooter. Accommodating all this was made really easy by the housekeeping team.
This home is really welcoming and well managed. As my wife and I visited we were always recognised and welcomed. The home is wonderfully clean and pleasant in every way. Quite different in style and atmosphere to many other care homes in this area. The language used when referring to the residents and the kindness of all the staff created a very happy home.
The management took great interest in my father-in-law and in engaging relatives such as ourselves.
We can recommend this care home unreservedly.

There is a really nice atmosphere at all times and all the staff are most courteous and friendly. It is more like a club hotel and there are many activities during the day each week. The quality and variety of the food is constantly good. A first class establishment all round.

Kew House is such a caring, lively and bright environment for my 95-year-old father. He loves it at Kew House, he has been there well over a year now and keeps saying how lucky he is to live there and likes to call his room “his flat”. It makes me, my sister and brother happy that he is well cared for.
The manager is always happy and welcoming. What a great place.

I have had a wonderful welcome here, all the staff are extremely helpful and willing to help. The room and bathroom are kept extremely clean and tidy and they always seem to know when you want to leave things out where I have left them.
Washing is done promptly. I have been here nearly 5 weeks and
aside from the odd hiccup on one or two occasions, all has been to my satisfaction. The training staff programme is very professional and anything asked of them is usually promptly sorted. I am very happy to be staying in such a well run home.

I can't express how utterly delighted I have been with Kew House and the care they give my mum. She settled in so very quickly and is very happy, she regards it as home. I can't say enough good things about all the staff, they are wonderful and they truly make the place feel so welcoming. They all are
happy, smiley and so kind to my mum. I have completely stopped worrying about leaving her here.

Kew House recently took care of my father for the last few weeks of his life. From the very moment I came in contact with Kew care home, I was impressed by their responsiveness and their professionalism. My father was in a bad way and having a terrible time in hospital and I was desperate to get him
out and into somewhere comfortable and tranquil. The staff at Kew House did everything they could to help me and to expedite the process as quickly as possible. While he was at the home, my father was offered excellent care in all areas an treated with dignity. I am more than happy to recommend the Kew House as an excellent organisation.

Kew House is an outstanding care home. It has the significant advantage of being built for purpose, so the design and layout make sense. There is a lovely cafe-style area and several pleasant reception rooms. Cleanliness and upkeep is excellent. Staff are kind, responsive, cheerful and understand the
needs of the residents. If something is not quite right, staff and managers are very quick to respond. Recent highlights have included a trip for some residents to the sea in Brighton.

My Grandmother moved into the carehome in January 2018. She and I have been very happy with the home. The staff are very friendly, helpful and caring. The environment is lovely and homely, I always feel welcomed even with my 4 children. The activities they provide are brilliant and my grandmother especially
like the singers that come in to perform.

My mother came to Kew House 4 years ago after reluctantly admitting that she could no longer cope alone at home. She was welcomed into the home by caring staff who found out her interests and introduced her to other residents. She soon felt part of the community and with the help of the excellent food
and exercise built into every day, she became stronger and more confident. The home is spotlessly clean, residents clothes are well cared for and Mum enjoyed her weekly visit to the hairdresser and salon. She enjoyed the activities from quiz nights, to exercise groups, to outings, to the garden centre and shops.
As she became less well, the activities coordinators and carers all encouraged her to do as much as she could while helping her as necessary to maintain her independence and dignity. Mum and I came to know the staff well and consider them as friends, Kew House was definitely home to her. There is strong leadership and good staff training shown in a high standard of care and kindness.

My father has always been fiercely independent and house proud. He was never happier than in his own home, comfortable in a familiar environment. When it became evident that it was no longer possible for him to live independently we were concerned as to how he would adapt to life in a home. From the
beginning Kew House were marvellous, welcoming him, personalising his room with family photographs, introducing other residents, encouraging him to participate in group activities. He quickly settled into his new life, such that within a few days he called it home. On visits, I am struck by the warmth, care and professionalism of the staff, a contrast to other homes I have experienced. The standard of care is excellent. Christmas 2017 was the first time in many years we had not celebrated the occasion in his house. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and the company of other residents and their families. A great day. In summary, other care homes should aspire to the standards of Kew House.

Kew House is a handsome purpose-built care home across the end of a cul-de-sac in Wimbledon, very convenient for visiting by rail and tube. The whole home is light and airy including the large sitting and dining rooms, and the bedrooms are large with good-sized bathrooms. The home is well maintained
and clean. The food is excellent and there is a regular programme of well thought through activities. The care staff are well trained in dementia care, skilled and attentive, with a calm atmosphere prevailing. The staff are hugely supportive and helpful. The home is fully staffed and does not rely on agency workers. The management team is excellent, with a real focus on the things that matter. Very well done.

Dad moved into Kew House last year and settled in quickly. It was a big change for him as he had lived independently in his own home for a long time. But, due to a few trips to hospital and receiving care at home, dad, myself and my brother realised he needed more support on a 24/7 basis. Dad is now
part of the Kew House family and is very happy living there. All staff members are wonderful and it’s great to see all residents happy and very well looked after. There are numerous activities every day, plus special events arranged and the food is always freshly cooked with a fantastic choice too. Dad enjoys a glass of wine with his lunch and dinner and these touches make all the difference. My brother and I have a good relationship with the all the staff which means we work together to ensure the best possible care and wellbeing for dad. We are also getting to know some of the other residents and this helps build friendships in the Kew House family.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.771)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.771) out of 10 for Hallmark Kew House 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 42 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 4.771 for Hallmark Kew House is calculated as follows: ( (400 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 489 Ratings = 4.771

  • 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 Kew House 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, 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.
