Located in the historical country village of Bradwell on Sea in Essex. Down Hall is a home for 38 residents and offering a range of services including long term and respite care.

Down Hall is often referred to by those who visit as an oasis within the heart of its own community. It is a place where residents enjoy a thriving year-round calendar of events and activities, whilst receiving the precise level of dedicated professional care need, as needed.

Everyone who lives and works at Down Hall is considered by the friendly owners as part of a close extended family. It is a place where residents are fully supported in continuing to live their lives as they have been used to; where everyone can feel safe and secure and where independence and personal dignity is strongly promoted.

At Down Hall, the specialist services of caring for the challenges that come with age sit seamlessly beside high standards of hygiene and cleanliness, comfortable beds and seating and good food and drink.

Equally important are the needs of the mind: stimulation, sympathy and understanding. The staff are never too busy to pay attention, listen and help smooth out anxieties and problems, little or large. And if staff can’t do it themselves, they will find someone who can.

Review from Gillian J (Niece of Resident) published on 4 June 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Aunt has been at Down Hall for just a year. Came for respite and decided to stay. She cannot praise the care enough. Obviously, she has the odd problem but this is always dealt with quickly and professionally. The activities are varied and suit all types of people. She is shown respect, which she
likes.

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.200) out of 10 for Down Hall Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.5 out of 5 from 7 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 4.679 for Down Hall Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.679
  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 4.521 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Down Hall Residential Home is based on 7 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 = 3.6
    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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.921
  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.
