  • Barchester Hall Park Care Home, Nottingham
Hall Park is a warm and inviting residence in the suburbs of Nottingham; it is surrounded by parks and greenery and with great access to local amenities.

With 62 bedrooms divided between residential and dementia care units, professionals think carefully about the type of room each resident needs. Bedrooms are set across two floors, and each floor has two of its own living and dining rooms, meaning peace and quiet is never far away. All furnishings and decor throughout the home are of an exceptionally high standard.

Chefs prepare a daily menu on-site, offering a variety of tasty and nutritious meals. These can be taken in the restaurant-style dining room or in residents' rooms as preferred. Special diets will be catered for.

Activities staff manage a busy events schedule, planning daily activities in the home as well as regular trips beyond it. Residents and their families participate in planning these, to make sure everyone always has things to look forward to.

There are also two acres of beautiful landscaped gardens and a large patio area, perfect for outdoor socialising. Care workers understand that moving into Hall Park will be a considerable transition, but it's one they try to make feel as easy as possible. By helping you arrange your room just the way you like, or bringing you your daily newspaper, they'll do the little things that make the biggest difference.

I have been visiting the home for many years as my mother-in-law was a resident. My aunt enjoys the meals. I know that the care and love of the carers is absolutely great.

Disappointed when emailed for visit in July 2020. Had no response. Took my sister making a call to say a visit could be made, as when I did call I was advised the home was shut for two weeks due to a virus. When visited father, having traveled 100 miles, there was no sanitiser. My father wasn't ready.
He came down in a pyjama top and looked ruffled and hem hanging down on trousers, even though new ones delivered. Seems there is no entertainment as she used to sit with residents and visitors. Have problems getting through by phone to the home, plus we are still awaiting my father's dementia assessment, which is a worry as still haven't heard anything at all.

During the lockdown, I have felt very informed about updates in the care home. Hall Park has been COVID free other than a case from a respite resident who didn't stay very long. Although visiting has had to be by appointment and outside, this has been satisfactory under the current circumstances. I
feel that Hall Park as a care home overall is well overdue for an update which I hope Barchester will carry out in the near future.

The home is great value for money. It is fairly priced, and my friend is very happy here. She has a nice clean and cosy room with an en-suite. The freshly cooked meals look amazing. Would highly recommend Hall Park to anyone.

Hall Park Care Home is a peasant, modern environment for the residents. My mum particularly enjoys sitting in the garden where there are lots of trees. She does enjoy the activities (not the quizzes as she can't hear too well!). The meals are excellent. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

Reply from Hall Park Care Home Admin, Home Administrator at Barchester Hall Park Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. So pleased, your Mum has settled well. She enjoys the piano lounge looking out into the garden.
I will forward your message to the staff.

Communication between the staff and myself is very good. I am not sure this is always translated to communication between staff. Not always sure discussion points and requests regarding care are disseminated to all staff. Staff ensure mum is able to visit dad on the dementia floor regularly. I know
staff keep my parents safe.

My mother has been resident for 18 months at Hall Park. It was not an easy transition for her or for her family members but within only a few months she adapted to her new way of living. She very clearly benefits from excellent care from the staff to whom we offer our grateful thanks.

My wonderful mum has been at Hall Park Care Home for nearly three years. The care and dignity she receives are excellent. All the staff are so kind and caring. From the middle of June, the home put in place weekly garden visits, socially distance for 30 minutes. It has just been amazing to see her again.
I applaud all the staff for their care and dedication.

Under difficult circumstances, I have been impressed at the way I have been informed on a regular basis of the running of the home and updates on my uncle.
The staff are all very caring and supportive and now we have been able to have garden visits they have ensured the safety of the residents, staff

My mother was a resident at Hall Park care home for two years and during this time she was given wonderful care from all the staff. She was treated with dignity and respect at all times. The home had excellent communication with all the local health providers and were able to support my mother during
times of medical need. The range of activities offered kept my mother stimulated and she was part of the home community, making many friends of both staff and residents. We felt that Mum's care was a very personalised service and communication to the family on all issues was excellent. Her room was always kept to a very high standard. Personal care was extremely good and as my mother developed more complex needs, these were met fully by the staff, including the use of specialist equipment. The food was always of a high standard, good variety and the presentation and the service of food in the dining room was excellent.

I am extremely grateful to the management and staff who care for my father, especially through these challenging times. Staff have been wonderful, keeping us informed about how my father is whilst we are unable to visit.
They send us regular video clips etc and are always happy to talk to us.
Dad
appears to be happy and settled in his environment.
The manager is always happy to help - gives you time and resolves any potential problems very calmly. The staff treat Dad kindly, with genuine care and dignity.
Thank you, Hall Park, for your commitment, kindness and care.
Stay safe and well!

During these extremely difficult Coronavirus times, I cannot applaud the staff enough. They have gone out of their way to ensure that the vital resident contact is maintained. The positive attitude of the staff and their reassuring manner when calling the home has been comforting for the relatives.
My father was very sick a few weeks ago, and from his latest video, he looks so much better!
Thank you to each and every one of the team, for your care of all the residents at Hall Park.

My mum has been in Hall Park permanently since July 2019, and she has been extremely happy and contented there. The whole of the staff are wonderful and so caring, my mum's health has deteriorated as expected, and the carers have kept me fully informed of mums condition so I can make arrangements to
get there and converse with them and the doctors.
Now during this covid19 virus, the home has been extremely quick in implementing the government’s guidelines to keep our loved ones safe, so a big, big thank you and well-done everyone working hard at Hall Park!

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.681)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.681) out of 10 for Barchester Hall Park Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.681 for Barchester Hall Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (151 Excellents x 5) + (41 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 204 Ratings = 4.681

  • 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 Barchester Hall Park Care Home is based on 17 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
