Since my uncle moved into Headingley Hall he has been very happy. He finds he is able to be friendly with, and chat with the other residents, he doesn't feel lonely. He is well looked after, with the staff all taking an interest in his physical and mental care. Whenever the staff pass him they will
always have time to chat or have a pleasant word. He has been able to move some of his books and other belongings into his room, so making it feel more like home. I am certainly very happy that he made the decision to move into Headingley Hall.

Mum and Dad have been residents in Headingley Hall for nearly two years. When it was unsafe for either of them to remain in their own home Headingley Hall was able to provide a room just big enough for them both together. Recently, the management has created a larger room on the ground floor overlooking
the garden (Dad had a large garden at home, which he loved) which they have just moved into. All the staff at Headingley Hall provide the highest standard of care and support at every level. Family and friends are always made to feel welcome. As a family, we know they are safe and happy.

After many months of researching and visiting residential homes, we came across Headingley Hall. From the minute we arrived the staff were so welcoming and we could clearly see how caring and friendly they were to all the residents. The facilities, buildings and grounds were impressive and after a few
visits, we decided to move my mum in for respite with potential for a permanent move. After a number of weeks she didn’t want to leave so we made a decision to make the move permanent. She loves the staff and all the activities and has never looked back.

My mother has been at Headingley Hall for nearly seven years and has been extremely happy there. The staff are kind, attentive and take the trouble to understand each resident's individual quirks. The accommodation is of a high standard and the food is tasty and varied. There is also a wide range of
activities and outings for residents to choose from. The whole team, both on the care and the admin side, are efficient, friendly and responsive both to residents and their families. This has been especially important to me as we live far away. In summary, I highly recommend this care home.

Headingley Hall was recommended to me as a place my Mum could stay for respite care. When we first looked around we found all the staff very friendly and a very relaxed atmosphere. Following my Mum's week stay I was very impressed with the kindness they all showed towards my Mum and their attentiveness
to all her needs.

My father died at Headingley Hall April 2019. Words are inadequate to describe the end of life care given to my dad and the whole family with care, compassion, kindness and utmost respect. We were able to give my beloved dad a good death, medical support and the sheer professionalism of the whole team
wrapped itself around dad and family working as a team we helped dad have a peaceful death.

Headingley Hall was recommended to me by a neighbour as a place to go for convalescence following surgery. I was most impressed with the calm, relaxed and friendly environment.
My stay lasted 6 days and certainly allowed me to rest and recuperate after a big operation.
The staff promptly alerted
NHS staff to deal with any problems I had. I was most impressed with their kindness and support. What a superb team and all seemed happy in their work which is key to providing a good service.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I recently visited the home to see a friend of my grandfathers; and would like to commend yourselves and your staff on the standard of care.


In particular, I would like to praise the:-
activity leader
senior care assistant
deputy manager
2 certain care assistant's


For their attentiveness

to detail and the quality of care given.


The staff at Headingley Hall clearly love their jobs and the residents, but with these especially it was evident that they go above and beyond for the people in their care.


Care is a very challenging job at the best of times, and I cannot commend the staff here highly enough.


I hope this message gets passed along to them to show their hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed.

The end of life care for my father at Headingley Hall was everything you would want for your loved one and their family. Dad has spent time over the last seven years at Headingley Hall and full time from March 2017. Dad became ill and had been in hospital for several weeks and was thought well enough
to leave; the manager at Headingley Hall was adamant that he return home to them. It became clear that Dad had put all his energy into getting home as he quickly deteriorated. Dad lived for a week, but what a wonderful week!
Cared for with love and respect by his extended family of carers. We spent as much time with Dad as possible and was fed and cared for by the wonderful staff team throughout the week.

This is the second relative we have had living in Headingley Hall. From the moment you walk in the front door one is impressed by the atmosphere of the house. The staff are omnipresent, the residents are calm and content and nothing is too much trouble for anyone.
The furnishings are of high quality.
The rooms are well furnished and homely. The food is good, the home is well managed and the staff and residents are all happy and earn mutual respect.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I spent several weeks at Headingley Hall convalescing after surgery. From the outset, I was greatly impressed by the friendliness, approachability and competence of the home's care staff. I was given every support and assistance, always with good grace and efficiency. What held true for the care staff
applied equally to the other staff. Housekeeping and related functions were performed to a very high standard, with considerable attention given to cleanliness and hygiene. Laundry was dealt with promptly and returned in pristine condition. Reception staff were charming and very helpful, management responsive, considerate and most efficient. Meals were appetizing and nutritious, with plenty of choice. The dining room, like the other communal areas, was light, airy and welcoming. Meals were supplemented by refreshments at regular intervals. Those wishing to participate had access to a wide range of activities. Visitors were always made welcome. My room was bright, comfortable and well-equipped. The home is an attractive building, set in most pleasant gardens. For me, the most appealing features of a home which has so many commendable aspects were the warmth and proficiency of its staff. Their competence, abundant good nature and kindness, cheerful demeanour and ready smiles are assets beyond price.

I came to Headingley Hall in the first occasion as a respite patient after a knee replacement. I liked the care, the atmosphere very much. So when it became obvious that I needed fulltime care.

Review from Mike E (Son of Resident) published on 9 May 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mother recently celebrated her 101st birthday with an enjoyable party at Headingley Hall. The staff made the whole day really special for her and we haven’t seen her so happy since before she was widowed over five years ago. This speaks volumes for the attitude and ethos of this wonderfully caring
home.


We had no idea that any establishment could manage to offer the level of care she is receiving. In the year she has been a resident her health, unlike one might expect for someone of her age, has considerably improved. From living in her own home and having visiting carers there has been a marked difference in every way.


Headingley Hall is a prime example of a caring home which is known locally by reputation as a first-class establishment which lives up to expectations from caring, attentive professional staff to thoughtful catering.


The Hall’s physical appearance both outside and inside is that of a 5-star hotel and is of reality for residents actually living there.

My mother has lived at Headingley Hall for 8 years. Everyone works tirelessly to make Headingley Hall my mother's home. Buildings are historic with sympathetic additions: gardens are great and shops adjacent. Headingley Hall looks and feels like a small hotel, you are welcomed by a very friendly lady
in a plush reception area, adjacent to a residents lounge and dining room, with a bar. I visit whenever I wish, welcomed with coffee near the kitchen. The kitchen receives daily deliveries of fresh fruit, vegetables and meat: meals are varied and cooked from scratch. The facilities are excellent, the staff are even better.


Staff and management turnover is low: I always meet familiar faces, that is even more important for residents. My mother is frail at 92, and staff go out of their way to talk with her and encourage her. I encourage anyone requiring care, for themselves or relatives, to visit Headingley Hall. In my experience, it speaks for itself: it is a real home to residents and relatives, in every way.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.945)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.945) out of 10 for Headingley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 11 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 4.945 for Headingley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (120 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 127 Ratings = 4.945
  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 Headingley 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, 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.

Job Title: Interim Manager, Headingley Hall Care Home

I started working in care 24 years ago when I was 16 years old as a weekend job whilst studying for my A-levels.


I progressed into working with elderly adults with learning difficulties and led a group of young adults with Down Syndrome to work within the care industry themselves, supporting them with a career in catering and social care.


I left that role to attend University in Leeds where I studied Interdisciplinary English Literature and History.


After a brief stint working in finance, I made a decision to return to care and remain in Leeds and before I knew it, I gained a job at Headingley Hall 14 years ago and have never looked back.

I started as a night care assistant before progressing into a Senior Carer role. This made me realise that this was my chosen profession. Seeing the difference, I could make in someone's life by ensuring their health and well-being were as supported as possible gave me satisfaction.


I discovered a keen taste for liaising and providing support to all health professionals who visited Headingley Hall. By working alongside the health professionals and gaining their knowledge and experience, I was able to review our service users with a holistic approach and ensure care remained person-centred.


Since then, I progressed to the Deputy Manager role at Headingley Hall and completed my Level 5 Diploma in Health and Social Care.


My learning continues every day and I continue to love the challenges each day throws at me. I am excited about the opportunity to lead as Interim Manager and I hope my future continues to progress within the care sector.
