The Review Score of 9.8 (maximum of 10) for Hallamshire 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 Hallamshire in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 17 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 4.795 for Hallamshire is calculated as follows: ( (279 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 342 Ratings = 4.795
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 Hallamshire is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 6.4 positive Reviews (32 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 17 Reviews ÷ 6.4 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.
Hallamshire has a Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) from 29 Reviews

My auntie went into the Hallamshire 9 months ago after my uncle (her husband) died suddenly. This was a very traumatic time for us as a family and the Hallamshire were amazing at settling my auntie in. Her room overlooks the gardens and is so lovely and clean. My auntie always led a very full social life with her husband but the Hallamshire cater for this very well indeed! They have trips to church, the theatre, the seaside and even boat trips! Family are always advised when these days are so they can join them. They have Mothers Day parties, Halloween parties and bonfire night parties which involve lots of family members. Food and drink is always provided at these events.
My aunt always has lovely clean clothes and looks very well cared for. As a family we would highly recommend this care home. We feel we could complain if we had a problem as the staff and management are very approachable to deal with. We feel nothing is too much trouble. Amazing people running an amazing care home!!

A lovely care home where the staff work hard to help the residents feel at ease and part of the family. There is a good range of activities and the day is structured to help keep the residents mentally and physically active. The food is high quality and the menu designed to cater to older tastes.

My Grandmother has been a resident at the Hallamshire Care Home for 15 months now and she is very settled. She has a lovely room and the staff are wonderful. There are plenty of activities organised and the place is always clean and tidy. I am delighted that we decided after a very long search to make the Hallamshire her home.

Brilliant activities programmes - a mixture of in-house activities and trips out.
Appropriate physical activity sessions (exercise using outside professional for example, re-enforced by staff run sessions) and a wide range of other activities, including music, gardening, games etc. Two skilled full-timers organise these tailored to individual needs.
Family members are welcomed, included, known, a good rapport.
Food is traditional, prepared/cooked to a high standard and family members are welcomed to meals.
A lovely garden, roomy communal spaces with a quiet lounge that is truly quiet, and a conservatory in addition to the main lounge.
Enthusiastic and caring staff, aware and responsive to residents and know their quirks.

Living at the Hallamshire has transformed mum's life. From living alone with few visitors she is now surrounded by people who care about her and show it! The Hallamshire provides personalised care and a broad spectrum of activities. Relatives are welcome at any time: a sure sign of the confidence of management in their staff and the quality of care provided. I took a long time to choose the home that would care for mum in her final years. I am very confident that I have chosen the right place.

I have been very pleased with our selection of the Hallamshire Care Home for our mother.
From the minute we stepped in the door the day we came to look round we were made to feel welcome and the staff are consistently helpful and friendly.
I have been impressed with the range of activities on offer - there has been the option of trips to see films or to the theatre, visiting a local café, baking activities, gardening, musical entertainment, exercise sessions, pamper days and much more. My mother has dementia and is unable to occupy herself in ways she would have done previously so it is important there is plenty going on around here either for her to join in with or to watch.
As well as the main lounge there is a conservatory looking out on the garden where she can be in a quieter environment, and another lounge where we can take her for a quiet family chat.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Frances M (Daughter of Resident) on Sunday 1 October 2017. Relates to September 2017.
Whenever I visited, I always found the staff very welcoming to me and more importantly, treating all the residents with care and respect and as individuals.
Food was a good standard and there always seemed to be plenty of it. The team of staff were young but their informal manner and the relaxed way in which they dealt with everything seemed well suited to looking after people with more progressed dementia. Lots of activities going on all the time and there were many trips out.
In my mum's last weeks the level of care my mum received was second to none and I didn't have a moments doubt that she was being well-taken care off. Checks every few hours which increased to every 30 minutes as her time got closer. My mum died in a place she was cared about by the staff and she died with dignity which is what I had hoped for her. I would recommend this care home to anyone whose loved one is suffering with dementia.

Mum suffers from Alzheimer's and has been at the Hallamshire since January 2017. In this time we have seen an improvement in her health (both mentally and physically). There are plenty of activities and trips out which help give Mum the social life and interaction with people that was missing when she was cared for at home. All the staff are lovely, caring, attentive to my Mum's needs. We are very happy we chose Hallamshire for Mum.

My Great Aunt has had the best time since she moved in here - she has gone from a quiet lady to someone who seems to be the centre of the Home. She has been out 3 or 4 times every week and seems to be having a lovely time every day that I see her. I couldn't ask for more for her and am so happy that she is here. She has so much going on now that she is really happy and busy every day.

A beautiful converted Victorian house with a nice garden, in pleasant surroundings. Very friendly, helpful staff, very caring and patient. Residents are well looked after and plenty of activities are scheduled each week. I particularly liked the idea of the hatchery for Easter with the little ducklings hatching out and growing up.

My great Auntie has moved into the Hallamshire and I am so pleased with how things have gone. They have really spent time to get to know what she likes and dislikes, she has already been out at least once a week to something that has been right up her street. The staff are so friendly they have spent time getting to know me as well as my great Aunt. I already know many other residents and staff, that I feel like I am visiting friends as well as my relative. The food is fantastic and I have already eaten here on several occasions. I love visiting and feel that my family couldn't have chosen a better home for my great Aunt.

I just want to say thanks to the Home, it is the perfect setting for my Mum and although she has been there several months they have made the last 2 weeks extremely special for her (it has been a difficult time for me recently and I couldn't visit for the last 2 weeks). They have taken her on particular trips and the activities coordinator spent time finding out what she likes to do and she is full of praise for 2 of the male staff (although all the staff are fantastic and caring).

My brother has just moved into this Care Home, I am so pleased with everything. The people that work there really look after him and have got to know him personally, they already understand his sense of humour and that is important to him. He has already been out on several trips and I was able to go too which was really nice as we haven't done that in a long time. We are both very pleased so far, the female manager and the Care Staff have gone out of their way to help us and make us feel at home.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Elmer P (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 6 July 2016. Relates to July 2016.
Mum was at the care home for about three and a half years. It was a difficult time with Mums Alzheimer's, but it was better her being in the home than being on the loose! I have felt a solid, caring and kind connection with the Manager from the start. The home felt better than all the others we visited at the outset and this has proven to be an accurate guess. During the three years I visited every month or two and my brother visited every day for a year and then every few days for the other two years. On each of these occasions the staff were kind and welcoming. They formed interested and caring relationships with my mum, that mattered enormously. Being in the care home recently when my mother died I had two weeks there every day. Mum was able to have a 'Home Death' with us present, and with very kind engaging hands at critical moments. The staff seem to feel ownership of their increasingly skilled roles, and that their work has meaning, and to me that is all that matters.

The Hallamshire home is an excellent care home. The staff are caring and obviously have respect for the residents. There is a good atmosphere with a family feel, clean and comfortable. The activities are very good and varied and it is obviously an important part of life for everyone at the Hallamshire. I enjoy visiting my friend there as it is a happy place and its fun to join in with my friend and help out.

The staff at Hallamshire are very kind and caring towards the residents. I have observed residents being upset and crying and a care worker will give the residents a hug and be very comforting. The home has 2 activity organisers organising trips out of the home and activities inside, one of the reasons we chose the home. If I have any queries about my mothers care the staff are quick to respond. I observe the staff treating all residents with care and respect. I feel confident that my mother is being looked after and treated well in the home.

I have visited my mother frequently and on every occasion I have found all the staff from the manager to the most junior to be brilliant - friendly, helpful, knowledgeable about my mum and her needs, attentive, flexible and willing to respond to any requests. The general improvement in her health (both mental and physical) has been little short of amazing. From being unhappy, not eating and lacking confidence, she has gained weight, is enjoying her meals, her eyes are bright again and she is interacting well with staff and residents. She is particularly enjoying the frequent and varied outings and activities organised by the Social Coordinator. Even her walking has improved from struggling with walking frame, to a stick and sometimes without when in her own room. Both her medical staff are excellent. They have the skills to support and observe and to contact me if there are any problems so that her Care Plan is regularly updated to meet her needs. Overall we are very satisfied indeed.
