Mum has been unwell recently and staff have gone above and beyond with making sure she is comfortable and taking the correct medication.
Staff communicate with us all and are always pleasant to talk to if there are any concerns.
Lovely home.

After having an operation myself I was unable to visit mum. The carers knew this and took even greater care to make sure she was OK. They helped her to contact me on her mobile phone which she often struggles with. Mum often gets a little confused in the early evenings but they are very good at calming
her down.
When my husband and daughter took her back to Norley Hall on Christmas day mum said it is home from home.

My grandma is so settled in her hotel she calls it, food is brilliant and the staff lovely. Each time I visit her the friendly faces greet me, and the happiness of the residents shines through. We as a family wanted grandma to feel loved, welcomed and safe in her surroundings and Norley has all of this.
The decoration throughout the care home is beautiful making residents feel comfortable . Great place to allow the family to feel at peace that grandma's needs are being met. Thankyou all.

My mum has been a resident here for over six years. During this time she has had excellent care. The staff and management are caring, attentive and genuinely supportive with all our family. Unfortunately, mum has been bed bound for the last couple of years, but is looked after with the utmost care and
affection. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Norley Hall Care Home to anyone.

My mum has been in Norley Hall Care Home for five years. What a lovely place, spotlessly clean, with none of the usual smells when you walk in. The staff are brilliant, I've come to know every one of them and they treat my mum and every other person like their own family. They are properly trained carers
and you can tell. The management are first class and very hands-on and approachable. 10 out of 10 without a doubt.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Been really happy with Norley but recently not so much. They seem to be short-staffed quite often. There no longer seems to be many activities going on and a lack of stimulation is causing my parent to go downhill. Just free or cheap things like bingo, beetle drive, dominoes, cards, etc would be good.
Sing-alongs, armchair exercises, stretches, balloon passing, all kinds of possibilities to keep them occupied.

From the moment I made my initial enquiry regarding the possibility of mum being cared for at Norley Hall to today, I and my family leave to find the staff and service to be excellent. All staff members have a genuine care for their residents. My mum was reluctant to leave her home of 40 years but since
moving in she is settled and so much happier. During a recent visit, mum told me and my sister that Norley Hall is the best care home in the world.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father was on End of Life and we also have my mother as a resident. The care home went above and beyond to fulfil our important visits, not only for my father but also taking into consideration my mother who was about to become a widow. It’s a shame I couldn’t visit before he was diagnosed but fully
understood the reasoning behind the pandemic.


Some of the staff went above and beyond their duties, making sure I had FaceTime calls from their own devices. Something I will always be truly grateful for. Being a Funeral Director myself I knew what a hard task they would have to deal with as the staff had a superb rep-or with my father and knew he would be a huge loss, not only to our family but to the staff that cared for him.


We will be truly grateful for everything they did leading up to and at the time of dad's passing, for the family but most importantly for mum. The Care Home is run by one very caring, dignified and loving manageress whom I warmed to immediately. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.775)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.775) out of 10 for Norley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.775 for Norley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.775
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Norley Hall Care Home is based on 11 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 52 registered maximum number of service users is 10.4, which has been reached with 11 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Kathryn Rimmer

Job Title: Manager Joined: 2018

I have been in the health and social care sector for over 30 years now, starting out as a young care assistant at just the age of 19.


It was while working with dementia residents, especially that I found my calling and knew that this was what I wanted to do.


From assistant cook to carer to senior, I worked as a theatre assistant in the hospital environment also, working my way up to home manager almost 8 years ago.


I have achieved all NVQs in health and social care from 2 to 4 and up to a Diploma level 5 in Leadership and Management.


I am a very interactive manager and love nothing better than to sit and chat with each of the residents that we care for at Norley Hall. My aim is that each and every one of them feels like part of our family.


I am cheerful and positive and lead by example, to deliver the highest standard of care possible.


I believe that quality activities and interactions are as important as eating, drinking and sleeping. If we get this right then we can be sure that our residents will have the quality of life that they expect.


Kindness is contagious……. let’s share the kindness bug.
