Hallamshire

I would highly recommend Hallamshire Care Home to anyone looking for a caring and welcoming home for a loved one. My friend has received excellent care, and it is clear that the staff genuinely care about the residents.

Everyone we have met has been kind, friendly and respectful. They are patient, attentive and always willing to help, which gives us great peace of mind. The staff make an effort to treat residents as individuals and ensure they feel comfortable, valued and supported.

It is reassuring to see my friend settled and happy, knowing they are in a safe environment with people who care about their wellbeing.

A big thank you to all the staff at Hallamshire Care Home for their dedication, compassion and hard work. Your efforts make a real difference, and they are very much appreciated.

It is a very well run home the manager is always available if you need to chat .The home has a friendly and inviting atmosphere. What more could you want excellent .

We placed my Dad at Hallamshire for some temporary respite care in July. The team were extremely helpful and kind arranging the placement at short notice. They demonstrated a great understanding of Dads care needs and the carers went above and beyond to help him settle in quickly. The home was spotlessly clean and the food was excellent. Family and friends visiting Dad were always made very welcome: the gardens were a beautiful, tranquil space to spend some precious time with Dad.

Please pass this on to the owners of HCH, they need to know what an amazing team they have and how much we appreciate all their hard work. Love to you all from S and D and all our family.

The staff are brilliant, and we are more than happy with the care that Mum receives from them all.

My mother is 90 with worsening dementia and has been living at the Hallamshire for over a year. I could not have chosen a better home for my mother. The home and facilities are fantastic. Most importantly the managers and staff are brilliant at what they do, helpful, friendly, diligent and supportive of my mother's needs. I can't fault their service.

Mum has been at the home for almost two months & on the whole the experience has been positive. It is a huge decision to place a parent into care but the staff have welcomed her & do their best to make her feel safe. Mum can have challenging moods but I'm always kept informed of her behaviours and discuss best solutions. The staff are friendly & approachable & have a daily activity programme to keep residents stimulated.

The staff on the ground were friendly, and caring, but the management were abrasive and in my parent's case, working to an agenda that did not align with the best interests of residents.

My partner was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2022 and moved to the Hallamshire in November 2025. It had become impossible for family and carers to provide the consistent and safe care that was needed at home. On visiting the Hallamshire we immediately knew that it would provide the sort of welcoming, professional and caring atmosphere we were looking for. The home is very well managed and maintained; the rooms are pleasant, spotlessly clean and comfortable; the meals are cooked on site and are varied and nourishing. But it is the quality of care, above all, which sets the Hallamshire apart from other homes we saw. The staff are all absolutely brilliant. Nothing is too much trouble for residents and visitors alike. The care is compassionate, professional, patient, warm and consistent. Unlike some homes the residents are not segregated by severity of symptoms and the wide range of activities is inclusive and stimulating. Overall the service provided is absolutely superb.

Mum has lived in the Hallamshire Care Home for almost two years now. I cannot speak highly enough regarding the care and support mum and the family have received during that time. The quality of care is exceptional and every member of staff contributes to the positive and friendly environment. The rooms are modern and clean, the food is good and residents are kept stimulated by a range of daily activities. Dad was also in the Hallamshire Care Home until he passed away recently; during that time it was a great comfort to know that he was surrounded by people who treated him with dignity, kindness, and genuine warmth.

My wife has now been in the Hallamshire Care Home for 1 year, but I can now reflect back and see that this was the best thing I could do for my wife's care and wellbeing. It was the worst decision I have ever had to make in placing her into care, but I have to say not only have they given my wife fantastic care, compassion and love, they have helped me so much, they are now like my second family. Not only is it run very professionally, but nothing is too much trouble for them, which is a true reflection of the top quality management and staff who are employed. I can see from my wife's reactions that she too loves the staff, the food and the numerous activities and the carers have got to know what she likes and doesn't like and subsequently cater for her every needs. I put my wife before anything else and so do they, which helps me through these difficult times, thanks to the Hallamshire Care Home.

It is a very friendly and homely environment and I am made to feel very welcome on every visit.

I cannot overstate my gratitude and high recommendation. Suffice to say, 'Can I pre-book a room?'

Most importantly, our loved one has been treated with dignity, respect, and compassion at all times. Knowing they are safe, well cared for, and happy has given our family real peace of mind. We're extremely grateful to the whole team and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to others.

We took the tough decision as a family to put mum into a care home after living in her own home for 62 + years so a huge change for all concerned . We visited quite a few homes , but immediately felt this was the one for her . We were proved right from day one when she wandered into a party activity and immediately started dancing with one of the staff . After that she was downstairs everyday - all day joining in all kinds of activities - two daily including weekends . Her room was always spotless, as was the home itself. The staff were always very welcoming and communicative regarding her progress. It was a place where you felt you could stay as long as you wanted and didn't feel excluded or in the way. We attended a Christmas party which was great fun and mum made new memories including a trip to York Christmas market and an interaction with some insects / reptiles brought in for them to handle - something she'd never done before. Cannot praise the home highly enough - met our expectations.

Hallamshire Care Home is well run, the staff are very professional and caring and are very attentive to my mother's needs. Since becoming a resident my mother's health and quality of life have improved significantly.

Having had experience of other care homes this one far exceeds any other and I would recommend it to anyone of my family and friends.

Mum spent a little over 3 1/2 years at Hallamshire. She improved in body and mind, with company, care and the various activities stimulating her. The staff were always brilliant in offering care and support. There is very much a "family" feeling about the care home. Family members can come and go freely, and it was always nice to be greeted by familiar staff, too. The seemingly low staff turnover helps to maintain consistency of care.

My mum has recently moved into Hallamshire Care Home after living on her own with Alzheimer's disease for 2 to 3 years. Mum got to the stage in her illness where family support and Carer's helping out 4 times per day was no longer practical or safe, and her quality of life had deteriorated significantly. Unfortunately, we were at the point where the illness was winning and it wasn't going to be beaten.

Everyone at the care home has made mum and her visitors feel really welcome from the first day. I'm sure this is why she is so much less anxious and confused, and it's obvious that she also feels safe and comfortable.

Moving into this care home has improved mums quality of life so much. The illness won't go away, but the calm environment and great staff have made life so much easier for everyone involved in her care, despite the challenges she faces.

The service of the care home is as much as could want and the team are always willing to hold the hone for me to speak with my mother (as I live some distance from the care home). In addition the care home is receptive to my occasional visits. My mother (who is now immobile and limited in her interactive abilities) seems very well cared for.
