A real home from home. The residents are treated with so much care and attention. The staff are amazing, so patient and understanding and nothing is ever a problem.
The surroundings are all very calm and peaceful. The rooms are homely and cosy.
This is the perfect place for respite care and it provides
total peace of mind to family and relatives that your loved one is being properly cared for and looked after.
The daily activities are so varied and cater for everybody. It's a really inclusive place.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff, you are doing an amazing job.

My father in law is a resident of the Hall Care Home. It is a beautiful home in stunning grounds.


The staff are fantastic and really care about the residents., nothing is too much trouble for them. They always make you feel welcome and take the time to have a chat. The entertainment team are great

and do lots of interesting activities ranging from chair yoga to prize bingo and lots more.


All in all this is a very friendly care home where the residents are treated like family.

My mother and father have both been at The Hall, lovely care home, most of the carers have a smile on their faces and are chirpy. I think that is a plus for the residents. Food looks good and the entertainment is good.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All staff are super friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble. The staff have made my Grandma truly welcome and have supported her transition superbly. My family and I have been well supported too, as it is a difficult time for all of us. My Grandma's room is beautiful, the care home is
clean and the food is amazing, according to Grandma! The vast amount of activities have really helped my Grandma settle in and I can honestly say Grandma has done more there in three months than she has in years. Grandma has made some lovely new friends in the care home and it is so nice to see her sitting and laughing with them. I simply cannot speak highly enough of The Hall, it is a truly outstanding care home.

My Mum is very happy at The Hall. Plenty of activities for the residents. The staff are very helpful. I am pleased that she is in good hands. The location is fantastic, the grounds are beautiful and the residents can enjoy them especially during good weather. The activities are good and they try and
involve residents' families. The fun days are good and raise money for charities and are very stimulating for the residents. Thornton le Dale is a lovely area and the staff often take residents out to enjoy the area. Facilities are good at The Hall, good outdoor area, nice lounges and a nice orangery. The bedrooms are so comfortable and cosy. Communication with the staff is good, if my Mum needs anything they will speak to me. Thank you The Hall.

The Hall is a fantastic home. The staff are extremely friendly and committed to caring for all their residents.
Mum loves the varied and fun activities and always has a big smile on her face. The staff work very hard to keep everyone entertained and engaged.
Social media posts help to keep me very
well informed of what's going on. I love the photos.
The food and standard of cleaning is exceptional. I can't recommend it more highly.

I'm writing again to give another review on the fantastic care my grandmother has been receiving whilst at the hall care home situated in the picturesque Thornton le-dale. Today I would like to personally thank two staff members in particular who provide exceptional care ranging from very pleasant trips
out for my nan and are very kind and supportive. Thank you to everyone who takes care of Nanna. You all deserve so much praise. Thanks.

The level of care given to my mum in her final few weeks was exemplary. They treated her with dignity and like a human being, which in her hospital stay before was not the case. Lovely quiet location, with plenty of outside light. The lounge attached to her room was great for younger family members
to be while visiting.

All members of The Hall Residential Care Home team provide care of the highest standard at all times. It certainly was our lucky day when Dad ended up there after a fall. His final months were spent with people who showed him love, compassion and respect. He seemed to relish life once more with the
constant companionship and he truly blossomed. He was encouraged to take part in numerous activities, which he not only loved but also had a real positive effect on his dementia.

Mum was in The Hall for the last year of her life. The care she received was second to none, and all the staff and carers were extremely caring and professional, making sure that Mum was comfortable at all times. As a family, we are all grateful for the love and care Mum received in the last months
of her life. Thank you to all at The Hall.

My mother-in-law was transferred to The Hall following a 4-month stay in hospital, following surgery on a fractured leg bone. When the hospital wanted to discharge her, she still required specialised care and was not ready to return home. She was transferred to The Hall from the hospital and the staff
were absolutely great. They encouraged her to become more mobile and got her dressed every day. They helped her to return to a more normal everyday routine that enabled her to return home, which was her greatest wish. Although she still needs more additional professional care and assistance than her immediate family are able to provide, I have no doubt that without the help of the staff at The Hall, she would not have been able to return home.

We were so fortunate to find this amazing Care Home. The staff were wonderful and cared for my mother-in-law with care, dedication and professionalism. Nothing was too much trouble, we live a distance away and they were in constant communication, updating us on everything. At one point, she was admitted
to hospital having suffered a stroke and the hospital advised us that she survived thanks to the prompt action of the staff at the Hall. Sadly, she passed away recently and to the end was treated with care and dignity.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.805)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.805) out of 10 for The Hall Residential 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.805 for The Hall Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (124 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 154 Ratings = 4.805
  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 The Hall Residential Care Home is based on 13 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 54 registered maximum number of service users is 10.8, which has been reached with 13 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.
