Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Norley Hall Care Home: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.8 (maximum of 10) for Norley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Norley Hall Care Home in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 13 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.811 for Norley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (282 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 338 Ratings = 4.811
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Norley Hall Care Home is based on 13 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 10.4 positive Reviews (52 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 13 Reviews ÷ 10.4 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Norley Hall Care Home has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.811) from 29 Reviews

The care my gran received was fantastic. The carers obviously care a great deal about what they do and they do it very well. I am so happy that my gran was looked after by these lovely people until she passed away. This is a nice care home and I would recommend it to others. Thank you.

Unfortunately, my brother only had a short stay at the home before his passing but in that time I cannot thank the staff and management enough.
The home is so clean and nothing was too much trouble.
Many thanks.

I was very pleased with the way Mum was welcomed into the home by staff.
She settled quickly and talks about the high standards of comfort and cleanliness.
Over the Christmas period, we were made very welcome and were able to join in with the celebrations yet there are facilities to visit in quieter areas without having to go to the resident's bedroom.

Welcoming and caring. From the moment mum went to live there my sister and I have been delighted with the cleanliness, quality of food and attitude of the staff not only to residents but also to us.
We certainly feel sure that we have made the right choice of care home.
One which treats not just mums dementia but also her mobility problems whilst maintaining her dignity.

Immediately on entry, the home impresses as a calm, organised and welcoming environment. Residents are at ease, content and comfortable. All staff, without exception, are engaging and friendly and happy at their work. After 64 years in her own home, our Mum settled in instantly and feels both happy and secure. Standards of care, both day and night, are exceptional. I have no hesitation in giving my highest recommendation.

My mother-in-law is very happy here. She settled in well straight away.
I am impressed with the staff and the home itself.
All the staff I have met are very friendly, caring and helpful. They are lovely with the residents and I have noticed how they join in activities with them. They are welcoming to visitors, offering tea and extra space.
The home is delightful - spacious, light, clean and comfortable.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by June D (Daughter of Resident) on Sunday 7 January 2018. Relates to January 2018.
I can sum up Norley Hall Care Home in one word excellent. The management and staff are always helpful and pleasant. The carers treat the residents with respect and as individuals. The facilities are kept up to date and the rooms are decorated to a high standard and the whole atmosphere is very homely. I was particularly pleased when mum moved into Norley Hall we were encouraged to bring personal items including furniture for her room making it more familiar. The residents are taken out on trips and have been frequent visitors recently at a Sensory Farm, an outdoor facility with animal petting and fishing activities specifically designed for the use of persons living with dementia and their carers.
The menu is varied and constantly reviewed. The building is spotlessly clean. I can recommend this care home to anyone.

My mother has been a resident of Norley Hall Care Home for over 4 years and although she is sadly deteriorating she has always received the same high-quality care as she has always done. The staff are very caring and nothing is too much trouble for the residents' care. I am more than happy and have never been in any doubt whatsoever about my mother being a resident of Norley Hall. I recommend this care home wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a suitable Care Home, to look no further than Norley Hall Care Home for their relative.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Janette B (Daughter of Resident) on Tuesday 5 December 2017. Relates to December 2017.
It is now four and a half years since my mother became a resident in Norley Hall Care Home. Time has passed so quickly and I cannot thank all the staff who help to provide the wonderful care to my mother and all the other residents who have made this their home. Trying to find the correct care setting is a massive task. Some of the current press reports appear to show care homes in a bad light. It would be good if they could visit Norley Hall so that families could see what a good care home is able to provide for our loved ones.
The manager and her deputy are fantastic. I can honestly say that if more care homes had managers and staff like this care home no one would be afraid of placing their relatives in this type of setting.
The owner of Norley Hall is continually making improvements to ensure everything is of the highest standard.
How likely would you be to recommend Norley Hall Care Home? Extremely Likely and this is my honest opinion.

After only a few short weeks I could see an improvement in mobility and mood. Everything here is geared to the resident and all staff work for the benefit of residents. Above all, it is a home from home.

It's a traumatic time when a loved one needs more help than you can give and needs to be placed in a care home. Reviews for Norley Hall Care Home was the reason we chose this home. The home is lovely the cleanliness is first class. My mother was treated like one of their family. Staff are fantastic nothing was too much trouble to help. Mum was treated with respect and dignity during her stay. The management and staff were a great support to the family they became our friends as well as professionals.

Everybody in the home has been brilliant, and I mean everybody.
Their care is second to none, cannot praise them enough. This home has rebuilt my faith in care homes as you hear so much bad press about them. Those people want to come and check this home. Our family cannot thank you enough for looking after my man. God bless you all.

My Dad has been in Norley Hall since April and he is 94. All the staff treat everyone with respect and make me feel that they really care for my Dad. He is very happy. When anything has happened where he has needed to go to a hospital, they have contacted me straight away and alway sent someone from the care home with him. It is bright and clean and they include everyone in any activities.

Our Mum has only been in Norley Hall Care Home a short while, however, we have found all the staff we have met so far to be very responsive to Mum. The home itself is kept very clean and always looks bright and pleasant. We are a large family so there are plenty of us visiting at various times and all of us have commented how well mum is being looked after. It certainly helps to know our Mum is being looked after so well and gives all the family peace of mind. Would certainly recommend this home.

Choosing a nursing home and deciding to move my grandma in there was a tough decision. The management and staff at Norley Hall helped make the transition easy. We still worry about grandma and she chooses not to participate in all activities but she does seem to be treated with care and dignity and genuine affection by her carers. I am satisfied and confident with Norley Hall.

Excellent 'wrap around' care for the elderly. Dedicated staff who treat residents in a way which they are 'family'. Excellent liaison between staff (all levels) and family members. Keeping family members informed of any issues/developments in the general well being of their residents. Open door policy with a welcoming and friendly ambience as soon as you enter the building. Provide good nourishing meals.
