A huge thank you to all the staff they looked after my Nan with so much love and care, she was there for just a short time but felt like I knew the staff especially the nurses for years, and they were so supportive to us as a family after we lost my Nan. I will never forget the time spent there
Thanks you so much for the review and the kind feedback which will be passed onto our teams
Best wishes and god bless you all.
Thank you so much for the review and words - we will pass the feedback onto our teams
This is the second time we have used Wombell Hall care home. My mother and now my aunt have both been looked after with care and friendly staff. The rooms and lounge are always clean and tidy. Both my mother and Aunt have never complained about the food.
Thank you for taking the time to place a review and for all the feedback and kind words of support. This will be passed on to the team
I find myself writing another excellent review for this care home. My dad had an unfortunate accident 10 weeks ago where he injured his arm. The staff at the hospital said that due to his age and having type 2 diabetes his arm would take a very long time to heal or may never heal. I am so pleased to say that after the excellent care that dad has received to his arm it is nearly now completely healed. The expert care shown by all of the staff especially Arnold who has mainly been responsible for the changing of the dressing etc leaves me in no doubt to the reason for this successful outcome. Arnold is also so knowledgeable regarding dad's type 2 diabetes which I am very pleased to say is now under control now which is such a relief to me. His patience and kindness with everyone there is so special. All of the staff at Pickwick House from the domestic staff, the excellent carers and management are a great team whose main priorities are the people living there. Thank you all
Thank you so much for the kind words and these will be passed onto the teams at the home
Homely feel. Welcoming staff at reception, carers are friendly both to resdients and families and understanding. Bubbly life style team. Would recommend a visit.
Thanks you for the review and the feedback its mich appreciated
I can't comment on food or drink as Jean is peg fed. Jean has been treated with good care whilst being here. She has no bed sores or redness as the carers & nurses turn her regularly. She has had no infections around her peg site or any blockages. Her care has been excellent.
Thank you so much for the kind words - we will ensure this is passed back to our teams
Each and every staff member from manager to cleaner has always acted in a polite, caring and professional manner
My mother has advanced Altzheimer's and I've always been confident that she's cared for with dignity and compassion
Thank you so much for the kind words - we will ensure this is passed back to our teams
My Mother in Law is cared for at Wombwell Hall. She was recently moved to the care home from another facility. Since the move she has settled amazingly well. Care staff are amazingly welcoming and are exceptional at what they do. We feel her care is well above the standard from the previous location. My Mother in Law in included and regularly moved to the lounge area to spend time in the company of other residents. There is a really comprehensive programme of activities lead by Mollie and her team. These activities, not only focused to residents but to families and visitors too. The small touches like laying dining tables with flowers and glasses, easter eggs for residents, birthday celebrations and much more make all the difference to residents. Staff go above and beyond to make this a community rather than a facility. Highly recommended to anyone who has to make the difficult decision for a loved one to enter care.
Thank you so much for the kind words - we will ensure this is passed back to our teams
From the moment my Mum arrived at Weller House the Care, support and empathy that my Mum received was and always has been outstanding. This is not a plush Care Home but all rooms are clean & do not smell. My mums clothes are laundered. There is a hairdresser & chiropodist linked to Weller House, as well as a very fun, young and caring activities team, who are totally inclusive, whether the resident is in their room or in a communal area. Weller House staff are consistent, keep routines and are friendly but professional and totally approachable. They care about my mum and our family too. They are an exceptional group of staff and I cannot Thank them enough.....
Thank you for your kind words we will pass onto our care teams
I would like to thank all the entertainment team for all the work keeping the patients entertained, also taking my mum over to the other care homes to watch the activities.
Thank you for your kind words we will pass onto our care teams
My Mother has been a resident at Wombwell Hall for sometime now. The care is excellent and she is well cared for and treated with dignity. The staff are well trained and understand the needs of my Mother.
Overall the care level is good. The entertainment staff are very good. Neetu always make my children feel welcome and includes them. We look forward to the improvements that are planned as the rooms are dated.
Sadly, my mother-in-law was only resident at Wombwell for three weeks, but during that time she received loving care. The staff were also very considerate to all our family as we were constantly there to be with her. Yes, at times there were communication hiccups, but that was more related to the transition from hospital care to palliative care and not all the staff had been made aware. We were grateful for the loving care mum received during her last three weeks.
Our mum received excellent care from Wombwell Hall Care Home. The staff treated her with kindness and dignity.
My partner was extremely well looked after during his stay at Wombwell Hall, from May 2023 until April 2025. They were very kind and patient and always had different things going on for all the residents. His cleanliness and appearance was taken care of on a daily basis, there were hairdressers and a chiropodist, who came to the home on a regular basis. The menus were varied and with lots of nutritional value. Each room has their own TV and window, looking out onto the gardens on the estate, so the residents can see the local wildlife, foxes, squirrels and birds and the varied amount of different established trees and shrubs. Everything is regularly maintained and kept in good working order, in the home and outside in the grounds. The home is reached either by car or a regular bus which runs every half an hour and the bus stop is only two minutes walk away. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a care home to use this establishment, they won't be disappointed.
Thank you very much for your kind feedback and details on how you have been supported at the home.
Overall mums care is very good but still after mum being in room with patio doors that cannot be opened easy and seals blown on doors have not been done so not enough ventilation. Room in need of decoration chipped paint etc also I notice dishwasher not working in kitchen hygiene problem as cutlery plates etc need to be washed in high temperature broken tap on sink and water out urn just drips out when you need to make tea obviously very scaled needs attention I cannot fault the staff they all work tirelessly But maintenance check needs to be done the five star review goes to the staff !!
Many thanks for your feedback its appreciated and we will be looking into the items you have mentioned in the review and can assure you these issues are resolved.
My mother in law has been at Wombwell Hall for 18 months mostly in Pickwick House and we are impressed with the kind and caring attitude of all the staff - not only to residents but to family members as well. They are happy and smiling even in difficult circumstances, welcoming - giving time to discuss concerns and friendly. They are professional and their interpersonal skills are excellent. My mother in law is a long term resident so we have had a long experience of life at Wombwell!
They pride themselves on a very personal touch with their care, which has the residents happy and engaged.
The facilities are excellent, with recently redecorated and revamped rooms that are homely yet functional for the residents.
The house manager, is brilliant, so friendly and helpful; you always feel as if your loved ones are the only reason they exist.
I would thoroughly recommend Wombwell Hall and Copperfield in particular for any loved ones who you have a requirement for.
Many thanks for your kind words we will pass onto the team for them to hear these comments

Richard has enjoyed a varied career. After beginning his post college working life in social care, he then focussed on working with teenagers and young people. This in turn led him, (by accident he will tell you) to take to the high seas, and spent a number of years on cruise ships around the globe. Upon returning to dry land, Richard worked in a number of related industries both in the UK and for a short period abroad - hospitality, entertainment and show management, including media and local radio - he even became an award winner whilst managing a seaside pier and theatre!
However, this led to Rich being headhunted back into health and social care management, which is where he has stayed for the past 15 years. He has worked as a Home Manager, General Manager, Operations Director, Regional Manager and Director - and now is delighted to join Belmont Healthcare as the General Manager at Wombwell Hall. A little care village with a big heart and ambitious plans for the future...
Richard's whole career has centred around the same basic core principles and values, from day one. A love, respect and duty of care for people, a passionate commitment to the most outstanding customer service which includes caring - really, really caring. And that is as true today as it ever was - and what you will find at Wombwell Hall.
