Wombwell Hall Care Home has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.585) out of 10, based on 41 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Wombwell Hall Care Home has 130 reviews.
Very likely.
My stay over the last three years has been the best you can get. Staff are the best.
My wife has received good treatment in this care home. The food is very good.
Very good staff, clean rooms, good and plentiful food.
I am happy with the staff, very helpful and keep me informed about my mum.
Since my friend moved to Wombwell Hall in March under the 'fast-track' he has thrived. He settled in well, with the staff being very welcoming and caring.
He gets on well with them and vice-versa. It's true to say he has exceeded expectations, in part down to him, but also the home.
Weller House staff in Wombwell Hall are extremely kind and supportive.
Facilities and food are very good.
It's alright.
Very professional and friendly staff.
My dad was transferred from hospital to Wombwell Hall for palliative care. The care was outstanding, as was the communication between me and the home, and my dad's wishes were all outstanding. They not only looked after my dad but made sure his family were ok. After dad passed away, the nursing staff gave us time with dad and were very sympathetic and understanding.
Wombwell is a lovely home, respectful of staff at all levels, helpful and polite, cannot do enough to ensure the residents well being and happiness. The resident that I see could not be happier.
Wombwell is a lovely home and looks after its residents really well, nothing is too much trouble for them and I am very happy here.
This is a good home - but self-funding at £6000 a month, I think is excessive.
Having now come to the end of my self-funding, I am now awaiting the assessment of my future.
We are delighted that you feel the Home is good, we have spoken recently regarding your position here at Wombwell Hall which is a permanent one and I understand an assessment will be undertaken by social services in order to secure funding for you.
Good and friendly but needs new bed linen.
Very good in all aspects.
Shortages of staff causes problems on some occasions for less mobile residents, left without cups of tea from breakfast to 5pm.
Thank you for your comments, we have employed additional staff to support the Unit and will look into the refreshments that are offered to Residents throughout the day to ensure they are receiving regular drinks.
Carers always treat my mum with dignity and make relatives of residents feel welcome.
Thank you.
Very good.
I feel fairly happy in my care home and also comfortable. The food leaves a lot to be desired. Some food does not look like in the pictures in the home booklet.
Thank you for your kind comments regarding the Home. We are delighted to hear that you are happy and comfortable here with us. I will address the issue you have noted about the food as I’m sure chef will be happy to discuss your concerns.

Meet the Team (1)
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.
