My friend was well supported by the manager and her team. Our questions and queries were answered and the manager's door was always open.


The unit staff were welcoming and offered us privacy to meet our friend.

All of the carers are very lovely and are always very helpful with my grandad whenever I need then whilst I'm visiting they are very attentive. The coffee section is very useful as I always take my grandad there when I visit and gives him a little change of scenery.
Thank you for all of your care
and help with grandad.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Care provided for my mother excellent, staff and team leaders are kind and knowledgeable.


My only negatives are: There is often a lack of staff. I have seen team leaders cooking breakfast as well as dispensing drugs and giving one on one support.


The staff is constantly changing.

Reply from Susan Scarlett, Generla Manager Amberley at Amberley Hall Care HomeThank you for your comments which we appreciate. We try very hard to keep regular staff on each community, however, there are times when this is not possible. Regarding the team leaders cooking breakfast, this was during the time when work was being carried out on the main kitchen.

Review from Christine B (Resident) published on 18 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
After eleven weeks in hospital, I eventually arrived at Amberley Hall. The medication team are amazing and I made a huge leap forward in just eleven days! All the carers were patient and understanding as I settled in and got used to the routine sampling some of the many activities on offer. I loved
my first week in the grounds admiring the beautiful planting, the handiwork of the dedicated gardeners. I put on much-needed weight from the excellent meals. The rooms are very comfortable, cleaned daily, our washing done overnight!...and a hairdresser on site if required. We are safe and secure with the tireless maintenance staff. It is the manager and her team who set the tone throughout the home. They go the extra mile to help families along the journey.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All staff and helpers very friendly, cheerful, kind and helpful but more are needed. At night, one trained staff member with young carer is not sufficient for 20 rooms. I felt concerned if ant emergency arose.
The room is comfortable and the food really excellent. 16 days of varied menus and tasty
meals, got me back on my feet.

Efficient, caring and friendly. Good range of activities and various lounges and the different area dining rooms were well laid out and very inviting. Mum loved her carers, who were all caring, compassionate and fully involved in her care.
Mum really enjoyed her meals, and I must say they looked
very appetising! Before Mum had her respite care she was very reluctant to go, however, she is now looking forward to her return visit - what better recommendation could you have!

My father was at Amberley Hall Care Home for respite while my mum had an operation but the operation was cancelled due to hospital pressures but my dad stayed in for his two weeks as he has early stages of vascular dementia. He was cared for so lovely and he enjoyed the company of staff and other residents.
The home is spotless and has a great manager and great staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother in law died on the 3rd February. Her care had been wonderful and the consideration to her next of kin in the week leading up to her death was very supportive. Mum had been at Amberley for 3 years and all the staff had shown high levels of care and concern and gave mum dignity in her last years.
Everyone from the receptionist to the nurses and management should be congratulated on a well-run care home.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad was transferred to Amberley Hall from hospital. He had many issues and many medical problems. After an initial, very distressing 'settling in', he quietened down and although there were still moments due to his behaviour and claustrophobia, these became less frequent.


The staff and management

team treated him respectuflly and always had time to talk. He passed away peacefully after a six week stay.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
A great care home with a lovely family feel, all the staff from managers to DIY men know my dads name and say hello every time they see him (he loves that).
The staff work so hard to keep the home clean and residents comfortable. The food is always fresh home cooked and healthy, and his clothes are
always washed dried and back in his wardrobe by the next day. It is hard to put your parents in a home but I can honestly say although there were a few teething problems at first, that I am now so happy that he is here safe and well looked after. The cafe is a lovely touch and we use it every day.

Amberley Hall care home is in a very quiet location. It is very well equipped and efficiently run by hard working staff who are friendly and caring. I stayed for a two-week respite break following surgery to remove a cancerous growth. If my cancer is found to be malignant requiring a course of chemotherapy
I would certainly stay again at Amberley Hall.

I arrived at Amberley Hall Care Home with two broken wrists and not able to do anything for myself. The staff were absolutely wonderful. Their help, kindness and consideration were something I shall always be grateful for at a very difficult time for me. Their attitude to my frustration was to help
me get over it and laugh again! I think they saved my sanity.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The experiences I have had with Amberley Hall are excellent.
With regards to my husband, the care and dedication cannot be faulted.
If my husband is experiencing any problems they are with him immediately and if I need to get any staff members to him they are with him straight away with no delays,
they are so kind.
It is not anything you want to do, putting a dear husband into a nursing home, most upsetting, but I feel very comfortable leaving him at the home knowing he is being well looked after at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.572)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.572) 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.572 for Amberley Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (337 Excellents x 5) + (107 Goods x 4) + (33 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 488 Ratings = 4.572
  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 38 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 38 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.
