My dad had been in and out of hospital and after viewing several care homes in the area - we decided as a family that Kew House had all the facilities that met my dad's needs. He has settled in very well and has very high praises for the staff, other residents and the variety of facilities on offer
as well as the day to day variety of meals and activities.

A secure, friendly a bright environment. The staff are cheery and pleasant. I feel at home there too. My mother gets bored when lucid not many activities are useful for her state of play. I have been sparing with "excellent" as I do not have many sources of comparison.

My mother was on the dementia floor of Kew House for two years. I was extremely happy with her care particularly due to the consistency of the staff (there is not a high staff turn over). I found the staff to be kind and respectful - and willing to go the extra distance to bring a smile to my mother's
face. And they always took great care in her personal appearance dressing her beautifully. With dementia, it is about creating little moments of joy and that is exactly what the staff do to provide both in general attitude and scheduled activities.

Whilst our mother was only in Kew House for 10 days she was treated very well, with dignity and respect and with proper end of life care. Our families thanks the manager, deputy manager and all the staff at Kew House.

My mum went into Kew House for respite care last year to see how she might settle down. So when the time came for a permanent move, it was a familiar place to her. So I had no hesitation in choosing Kew House again. All the staff are attentive and kind and the residents are given the utmost respect.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the place and have already done so.

My mum came to Kew House for respite care as she was not coping at home with carers coming in. Kew were very helpful in settling my mum in which was especially good as I don't live in London. My mum thoroughly enjoyed her stay and was much improved during the time she stayed there. Thank you all very
much.

My mother moved into Kew House after my father died and she had received a terminal diagnosis. She had lived at home with my father for nearly 70 years and was very nervous about having to adapt to such a very different life. The staff at Kew House, from the moment she arrived, were very welcoming
and caring and gentle and fully understood her concerns and did their utmost to make her feel part of their community; she has at all times been treated with respect and genuine care. Kew House is outstanding in terms of how it has been designed and laid out to make life for its residents as comfortable as possible. All the facilities are totally accessible- corridors are wide, communal spaces are well thought out and welcoming and rooms are designed to make the residents feel at home- they look out onto thoughtfully landscaped gardens and open spaces. Kew House is very close to the centre of Wimbledon- such a bonus to be able to wheel Mum into the centre of life in a few minutes.

Every member of staff is warm, friendly and caring. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming. My cousin felt at home from the first minute she arrived for respite care and told everyone she wanted to move there permanently at the right time. When that time came, Kew House gave her the right amount of
information and support without ever putting her under pressure to make a decision. It is a pleasure going to see her at Kew House.

In the eight months I have been associated with Kew House through regular daily visits since taking on the role as carer/companion to one of its residents, I have observed a care home that is very clean, efficiently run and whose staff I have always found to be polite, caring and empathetic and whom
treat their residents always with a high level of dignity. Lastly, the food and drink is of a very high standard.

Kew House has a happy, vibrant atmosphere. The staff are welcoming and cheerful, it is spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated and has the feel of a cosy hotel.
I have joined dad for lunch and can verify that the food is delicious, not to mention the home-made biscuits and pastries in the bistro. The
dining room is furnished like a smart restaurant. In the month our father has resided there, he has put on much-needed weight, the colour has returned to his cheeks and he is more relaxed and happy. His clothes are beautifully laundered and his room is always clean and tidy. The staff take an interest in the residents, treating them with kindness and respect.

I reviewed five nursing homes recommended to me by Social Workers. Kew House was by far the best one I saw. While we did have our ups and downs over the 2 1/2 years we were at Kew House the most recent Manager has made a huge difference to the atmosphere. There are some truly exceptional staff look
out for, a truly gifted carer, the wonderful activities manager, the wonderful onsite hairdresser, and the man who dresses the tables so beautifully every day. The food is excellent. We decided to have my mother-in-law's funeral reception there and they looked after everything brilliantly. We gave our mother in law a great send off. Take a look at Kew House before you choose your care home I am sure you will be impressed.

Mum moved into Kew House in November 2016 and her whole family are delighted to have found such a friendly, caring and loving community for her. The manager and staff have been endlessly patient with our moving-in concerns which have been listened to and acted upon.


The run up to Christmas was joyous

with top-rate entertainment and there is a variety of daily activities. A superb physiotherapist is on hand and excellent hairdressing, massage, manicure and chiropody are offered weekly; the food is tasty and nicely presented and the staff are caring and approachable. We could not have wished for better.

Kew House provided a wonderful, caring and welcoming home for my step-father for his last six months. The staff were all extremely kind to him and were always ready to sort out difficulties or go the extra mile to make him feel comfortable. The facilities were excellent - his room was always kept clean
and the public spaces were bright, cheerful and clean.
I felt that my step-father was in safe hands and that the staff would always keep in touch with his family. When he died, they were magnificent. We could not have asked for more.

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.
