Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is the first time I have had anything to do with a care home and I can honestly say Widnes Hall is just like being part of a huge happy family.
The management, staff are great, nothing too much trouble. I have seen first hand how the staff look after the residents. I am extremely grateful with
the care my husband gets.

Review from Joyce K (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Mum lived in the upper residential unit for 14 months until her death on 27/2/2018. The unit was led by 2 wonderful team leaders who went way beyond the call of duty to ensure Mum's comfort. The care Mum received was excellent, she was treated with such compassion and dignity by all staff we encountered.
During the last 2 weeks of Mum's life, I met the night staff, who were also incredibly kind and caring. As relatives, it was a very traumatic time watching deterioration. It was made much more tolerable by the kindness and compassion from all staff members from management, carers housekeeping and laundry staff not just to Mum but to us as well. I would recommend Widnes Hall to anybody and wish to thank you all once again.

Since my mother arrived at Widnes Hall her welfare has been looked after completely. The staff are caring and attentive and nothing is too much trouble for her and visitors.
It has given us peace of mind to know she is in the best place and being cared for. Her room is kept clean and tidy and meals
are varied and good.

Well done to all of the staff for the care that they gave my mum.


Without them, we wouldn't have had my mum for the time we had her.


Can't thank them enough.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Overall running of the nursing home we find really good. Just we wish there were more staff on the upstairs residential side. Due to my husband being permanently wheelchair bound and needing to go to the toilet often. If carers are busy he's having to wait a while.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law stayed in Widnes Hall for respite and she could not have received better care. The care home was spotlessly clean, well equipped and very welcoming. The staff were fantastic; they gave us regular updates and showed great patience and understanding. I have no hesitation in recommending
Widnes Hall and hope that my mother-in-law will be able to receive respite care there in the future.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband was really well looked after both physically and mentally and the staff were excellent in every way. Nothing was too much effort for them. They were always professional and caring and always had time for their patients and their families. I am sorry that his needs changed and had to be transferred
to a different care home. I would like to thank everyone at Widnes Hall.

Widnes Hall is a very welcoming home and you are immediately made to feel at home when you walk in. Staff are always smiley and interact well with the residents. Activities are fantastic and there is always something going on which the residents always seem to enjoy.

Review from Shirley R (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 October 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
It's a warm and friendly environment - just like home for residents. I did a lot of research when my father required dementia care and Widnes Hall was my preferred choice in the area. The management and staff are great and treat residents with dignity and respect. Some areas are looking a little 'tired'
and require decoration/new furniture but this is only a minor point, it is the standard of care that counts.

I always enjoy visiting my mother, all the staff are so friendly. They made my mother feel right at home straight away and she always seems so happy. Last week it was my mother's birthday, the staff held a birthday party and also gave a gift from the home. We were able to invite all family and friends.
It was a lovely day that we will always remember.

Widnes Hall is well run and looked after. You only have to ask for something and it's done. All the staff from the managers to the staff on the individual sections have the residents needs at their foremost concern.
I can only say thank you for the top staff you have in place there.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.712)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.712) out of 10 for Widnes Hall 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.712 for Widnes Hall is calculated as follows: ( (249 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 330 Ratings = 4.712
  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 Widnes Hall is based on 28 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 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
