My stay of two weeks was absolutely fantastic, the care staff, all of them, were so kind and attentive. They could not do enough for you. I had regular visits from physios, O/Ts and nurses. Meds were just class and plenty of them. Could not fault this establishment in any way. Thank you.

Review from Carole H (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 February 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My dad went into Amberley Hall for end of life care on the 8th December 2020. I can honestly say my dad had the best care we could have asked for, the nurses and staff gave my dad the best care ever, they made our dad last 5 weeks the best they could have given him, the dignity they showed was amazing.
We were very lucky that we were able to go in and see my dad every day wearing the appropriate PPE and having a rapid covid test done. My dad passed away on the 15th Jan and I was really pleased his last 5 weeks as spent at Amberley.
Reply from Jenny Boulton, General Manager at Amberley Hall Care HomeHi Carole, it was an honour to take care of your father and be supportive to your family. Warmest regards, Jenny and all the Team at Amberley Hall.

Very poor care and communication, have to do things yourself if you want it done to the correct standard. So many changes of manager and staff which do not get told the full needs of residents. Also been slammed by CQC as being unsafe, would not use this home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carers were all very kind and caring and the rest of the staff were very friendly. Every effort was made to keep the Coronavirus at bay, with all staff changing on arrival and having their temperature taken. Activities obviously could not take place because of the lockdown but an effort was made
for a member of staff to visit individuals in their rooms for a chat. The lovely, well-kept gardens were very good to sit out and enjoy the sunshine. One thing lacking was a shelter for smokers in wet weather.

Overall very well cared for, all carers did very well in their care for me. No problems with anything at all. If the need arose for any reason I will consider coming to Amberley Hall again. The meals were too much of a big portion for me, small portions on a smaller plate will be better. Laughter is
what I did enjoy most and was a good part of my recovery care, it was good and therapeutic.

The care is great. The staff are very attentive and get to know the resident's individual preferences. The food is excellent which is very important to dad. Its great to have a variety of activities especially when they have all of the animals come in. Animals have a great effect on dad, keep it up.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.581)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.581) out of 10 for Amberley Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.581 for Amberley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (348 Excellents x 5) + (107 Goods x 4) + (33 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 499 Ratings = 4.581
  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 Amberley Hall Care Home is based on 39 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 39 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.

Blessy Masilamani

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2025

Hello, my name is Blessy, and I am the Home Manager here at Amberley Hall.


From a very young age, I knew I wanted to help others, and that passion naturally led me into a career in healthcare. I began my nursing journey over 20 years ago at the highly respected Dr M.G. R. Medical University, Tamil Nadu, India. During this time, I specialised in Haematology and Operative Surgery within a multi-specialist hospital. One of my proudest achievements after obtaining my BSc in Nursing was progressing to Senior Lead Matron and becoming a course tutor for General Nursing.


I continued to build on my knowledge and experience in the UK, by completing my MSc Mental Health Nursing and went on to work as Clinical Lead and Deputy Manager at a well-regarded care home in Dulwich, further strengthening my commitment to delivering outstanding, person-centred care before moving to King's Lynn in the beautiful county of Norfolk.


Providing exemplary care is at the very heart of everything our team at Amberley Hall does. Nothing matters more to me than ensuring that every resident who makes Amberley Hall their home, or joins us for a short-term respite stay, receives the highest quality of care, dignity, and respect always.


I fully understand the trust that residents and their families place in us when they choose Amberley Hall, and I take this responsibility very seriously. It is a true privilege to get to know our residents and their families and friends, listen to their life stories, and share meaningful moments together while creating happy memories in a warm and supportive environment.


If there is ever anything I can do to help, please do not hesitate to get in touch. My door is always open, my team and I will always do our very best to support you and I look forward to welcoming you to Amberley Hall very soon!
