  • 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.

Pleased that there isn't a continuous turnover of staff. Help towards making 90th Birthday party go well. Expected the care to include soaking dentures at bedtime. On one occasion the toilet floor and carpet were soiled and could not be dealt with until the next day.

The staff have been warm and welcoming and the rooms are lovely. The food is good and there is plenty of choice. My mum has memory issues and hasn't accessed any of the activities, staff prompts would be very helpful.

All the interaction I have had with the staff is excellent. They have been wonderful and so kind. There is not a problem that cannot be sorted. The change in my next of kin since she arrived is fantastic she looks four years younger.

I visited a friend who recently went to stay at Hall Park Care Home, I did not recognise her, she looked so well, she said how she was so happy and that everyone was so nice and friendly. She loved doing the exercises and goes to all the clubs.

My dad has settled in lovely at Hall Park, it was a hard time for the family at the time, to choose a care home for him. Dad always is dressed lovely and looks smart. Staff work hard and they will always help with any concerns which I may have. The food they have at meal times is healthy and they have
a choice of several meals. We are welcome to eat with dad if we wish to. Staff are very friendly, always happy and have a smile on their faces and are very polite. There are activities every day and all are encouraged to take part. My dad has Alzheimer's, so he has his good days and some days not so good. In the hallways and lounges there are things on walls and in the rooms eg. pictures, boxes with old photos in, to help with their memories. In all, I could not be happier with the care my dad is getting.

This home is a lot better than most but I do feel money is spent on how it all looks rather than substance. A new catering company was hired with fancy menu and tablecloths but the food seems worse than before, particularly for mum who is a vegetarian. We were told there would be more veg options and
a better range but staff said they still have to request veggie meals!

Communication between staff is not great, when my aunty was moved from the ground floor to the first floor (dementia) we were not told prior to this happening, when questioned about this we were told that one staff member said she thought we'd agreed this with another staff member but didn't ring us
to check. My aunties tv remote was broken, I took it to the floor reception desk and was told it would be fixed/repaired, when I visited a week later it hadn't been, I complained and when the maintenance man brought a replacement he told me that he had not been informed about it at all previously.

My father had a short stay of respite care. He was very happy here and made friendships with other residents. He got on well with and was well liked by the staff. Our impression of the facilities and staff was extremely favourable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hall Park Care home.

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.
