Review from Michael C (Resident) published on 20 December 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I found the level of care and service to be first class. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Indeed, some of the staff went above and beyond the call of duty. I cannot praise them enough. There does, however, appear to be a shortage of physiotherapists because the physio was not always available
on a regular basis. The physiotherapists, themselves were very knowledgeable and dedicated, though overstretched at times. The discharge procedure could be improved, there were too many people involved and, as a result, I wasn't sure what was happening.
Reply from Joan Agcaoli, General Manager at Amberley Hall Care HomeThank you for your review and I am delighted to hear that you found the care team at Amberley Hall to be first class. We will, of course, feedback your comments to the CCG who place the physiotherapists in the Home and, as a result, are responsible for the discharge of residents under their care.

My dad was given a place at Amberley Hall in January 2019 after five weeks in hospital.
Amberley Hall is a very lovely place to be - a hotel with care!
My dad's room was bright, comfortable, warm and clean. He had all the facilities he needed.
The staff were always polite, professional and friendly,
efficient and extremely caring. The food was great.
Sadly my dad was only there for one week before he passed away but even his death was treated with great dignity and compassion.

The care has been amazing. The support I had received meant I was able to support my mother. I don't live in the area so I needed support. To be able to have my meals was a great help. The activities were very helpful to aid interaction and happiness. We were listened to and cared for which made us
feel valued.

I visit regularly, so not only do I see my husband but am getting to know the staff and other residents.
Overall I see the unit as a happy place with a good deal of care and interaction.
My special experience was a wonderful Valentine's Day experience for couples when we were invited to a wonderful
lunch, with balloons, a red rose and decorations.
The activities team had worked hard to give us a happy day - all with a smile.
When mobility is difficult this brought great happiness.
A welcome, warmth and good care are essential, all overseen by the manager.

18th December 2018. Party 6 pm to 8 pm. The evening was very enjoyable for the residents, family, friends and staff. It was well organised, the buffet was exceptional. The entertainment was awesome bringing back memories for everybody, residents, family, friends etc. I have attended several events and
these have all been well organised, differing in many ways. The staff can soon point you to where the resident's function is being held, so you are able to find your relative or whaoever, very quickly.

I reluctantly went in for respite so my daughter (main carer) could go on holiday. Now I've put my name down for a placement there.
It made me realize I can have a happier quality of life. I miss the place, people and what it offers.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My daughter and I spent a very enjoyable morning with my mother on a trip to True's Yard, Kings Lynn with other residents from Amberley Hall. We were treated to a very informative, guided tour of the museum and a lovely cup of tea and cake in the pretty tearoom. It was fantastic to spend time with mum
away from the home, interacting with the other residents, all of whom seemed to really enjoy the experience.
We also met up with another group of residents on the seafront in Hunstanton. On this occasion, we also took mum's great granddaughter who loved meeting all the ladies and gentlemen from the home. It was brilliant to be able to spend quality time with mum and her extended family at a place we all love to go - the seaside.
Generous portions of cake, a very welcome cup of tea and a lovely rendition of 'I do like to be beside the seaside' all made for a super trip out. All the staff were amazing, attentive, polite, chatty, organised and made sure that everyone had a great time. From my point of view knowing that mum is happy, safe and secure and having lots of fun gives the family invaluable peace of mind. Thank you so much, we had a fantastic time.

My husband is very well cared for.
Can talk to staff, who calm him down.
More than I can. Had a great day at Hunstanton, well organised.
Do loose a few possessions, mostly his fault. Keep me well informed over his health.

My 92-year-old father fell ill nearly 5 months ago with sepsis and endured a long stay in the Hospital and another care home. He has improved so much since being at Amberley Hall. His weight has increased, when he wouldn't eat or drink before and has received much kindness and mental stimulation from
activities and the great staff there. We all appreciate this so much.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our father spent more than ten weeks in hospital with delirium before being transferred to Amberley Hall. Since his transfer, he has made huge strides towards a full recovery and all of my family believe this is due to the great care, compassion and commitment of all the staff that work at the care
home.


We have found all staff to be exceptionally helpful and have always found time to answer any questions asked of them. They have been very effective at dealing with not only our father's physical needs but also his general well being.


Amberley Hall creates a wonderful environment for its residents and the management team engender a real sense of purpose and teamwork.

My husband was very anxious about having to go into a care home after having a leg injury but the staff were reassuring and caring and he soon settled down. The care was excellent and nothing was too much trouble, even when he wanted different options to what was on the menu.

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!
