Overall Experience
Normanhurst Residential Home has a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. A dedicated staff team work together to provide excellent care for each of the residents, knowing them as individuals and responding to their needs with dignity, care and attention. The home is clean, fresh and well maintained. Appetising food is offered. I am confident that my mother is safe and well cared for here.

Overall Experience
My 92-year-old mother is receiving excellent care at Normanhurst. There is a very friendly atmosphere in the home and the staff and family owners are very caring and ensure the residents are well looked after and happy.
The home is very comfortable with nice food. My mother particularly enjoyed sitting out in the sunny rear garden last year and cannot wait to do the same this year.

Review from David (Son of Resident) published on 16 February 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been a resident at Normanhurst Residential Home for 8 months, and she has settled very well due to the care and kindness of the owners and care assistants, who work tirelessly to make sure that all the residents are, clean, comfortable and settled.
The activities are good and often have people from outside the home to come in and entertain the residents in various ways, such as musical performances, indoor bowls, singing and other various hobbies.
The rooms are clean and tidy, beds made every day, mum has her own bathroom and toilet, they also are encouraged to bring various personal belongings from their own homes.
The food is great, freshly made by the cook in the kitchen, and smells wonderful when you visit near mealtimes, varied menus every week.
My wife and I are so pleased with high standard of care all the staff provide, and they always have a cheery smile and a warm greeting when we go to visit.

Review from Fiona W (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 December 2015 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Mum has been at Normanhurst for five months. During these five months, with the excellent care in a safe and loving environment, Mum has settled in very nicely. No more terrible mood swings. She is very calm and happy now. It is obvious that Normanhurst has made every effort to individualise her care. Her needs have been carefully evaluated and provided. For example, specially cooked Chinese food are often provided to her; the staff chose activities that Mum still enjoys doing and which may help retain her functional abilities as long as possible, such as making Chinese dumplings in the kitchen, doing number board, coloring, doing very simple sums, reading Chinese newspaper and magazines etc. Every time when we visited mum, the care home is always clean, and the staff are always smiling and caring. We feel very relieved that mum is in good hands.

Overall Experience
Normanhurst provides an outstanding level of service. Care is first class and very personal as well as completely professional. The staff, including the owner are always available and delightful. There is a real homey atmosphere and the rooms are pleasant and bright.
I cannot rate them highly enough and have already recommended them to others and will do so in the future.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
