My Gran was admitted to Bings Hall in September 2017 for emergency respite care, and has been there ever since, since it was subsequently decided that she was not fit to return home. The care that she has received has been superb. Her room is comfortable and well looked after. The staff cannot be faulted
in any way, they are throughly professional and go out of their way to try to make my Gran feel 'at home'. They have also been extremely helpful to us all in coping with her illness. All my family are equally impressed with Bings Hall.

The manager and her team work so hard to make my mother’s stay at Bings Hall so bearable in her twilight years.
They do it with such care and love.

When my mother could no longer look after herself, we were very lucky that Bings Hall had a spare room. It was home from home as much as was possible and the carers were very kind. They made my mother's last days as comfortable as possible and the family were very grateful for all they did for her.

All of the carers and the manager are friendly and kind. When my Mother passed away, the carers treated her with care and respect. They were so supportive of the whole family. Bings Hall is a small family run home and has a lovely homely feel.
My Mother was very settled during her 2 and a half years
at Bings. Thank you for providing excellent care throughout that time.

Review from Jenny J (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My 93-year-old mother has been a resident at Bings for nearly 2 years. When we originally chose a home for her, Bings stood out. With only 15 or so residents the care is very individual, my mother sees the same faces all the time and the layout means there is a constant flow of carers and visitors
buzzing around keeping life interesting. We are full of admiration for the manager and her staff, who are unfailingly bright, kind and attentive. The food is excellent, varied and tasty. It’s cooked fresh on the premises by staff in the kitchen who also serve, so build up good relationships with the residents. Bings really is like a home where people care.


I have recommended Bings to several friends and would have no hesitation in doing so again in the future.

Dad spent the final few weeks of his life at Bings Hall and was happy and contented there. He enjoyed his cooked breakfasts and the live entertainment.
The staff were very caring and helpful towards dad and it was a homely place to reside in and visit.
Thank you again to all the staff who looked after
dad.

My mum was a resident at Bings Hall for 6 months following a serious stroke and she had Alzheimer’s disease. The staff are all very kind and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and mum smiled such a lot and enjoyed the activities, especially bingo and the music sessions. The cooks were exceptional
too, going the extra mile. Thank you all so very much. It was very reassuring to know mum was cared for by such kind, compassionate carers in her final months of life. I enjoyed being there frequently with mum and was made very welcome.

The staff are excellent, they assist with the integration of new residents in a kind and professional manner, making it a relaxed and safe environment, enhancing confidence in the transition from home to care home. The home itself is a home from home. Fabulous home cooked meals, lovely rooms and high
quality of care. It is managed extremely well and communication from home to residents' family is open and informative. I would definitely recommend Bings Hall.

Our ninety-year-old mother suffers from mixed dementia and moved to Bings Hall when it became clear that her health was declining rapidly. Imagine our relief when in a matter of weeks her general health and well being dramatically improved, as a result of the care provided by Bings Hall staff and the
excellent facilities. She is clearly settled there and is enjoying the stimulation and the daily routine.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was resident in Bings Hall for four and a half years. In all those years, I never once saw the staff treat her, or any of the other residents, with anything but kindness - however awkward they were being.
My mother looked at them as her extended family, especially towards the end of her life.
She
died at the end of August 2017, in her own bed and her family were all so pleased her life ended with dignity in a home where she was loved and cared for so well.

Very attentive, patient and friendly staff.
I have only seen one room but it was lovely and big, bright with an en suite. Great decor (recently done apparently) and double glazed.
My Grandma says the food is superb and that's high praise! They bring us tea and cake when we visit and it's always yummy.
We feel relieved that Grandma is in such good hands.

My Mum was not happy with home care, so I decided to put her into the care of Bings.
She has been well looked after and feels happy and comfortable.
I also feel happy that she is safe and being cared for.
I visit every couple of days and am always made welcome.
All decisions regarding her care have
been discussed and agreed upon.

Bings Hall cares for my mother extremely well. The staff are kind, considerate and very attentive. They always try to give my mother freedom of choice about what she would like to do and are very patient with her. Always highly attentive to medical needs and thorough in their all round care. Most of

Current Review Score: 7.0 (7.044)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 7.0 (7.044) out of 10 for Bings Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 3.8 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.3 out of 5 from 1 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 3.750 for Bings Hall is calculated as follows: ( (9 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 3.75
  2. 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 3.294 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bings Hall is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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 = 3
    2. 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 17 registered maximum number of service users is 3.4. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 3.4 = 0.294
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
