What an amazing place for my mum's final 5 days.
The love & care, that not only she was shown, but myself, and all our visitors, was outstanding.
The building is very clean and welcoming, the complimentary hot drinks & cakes are a lovely touch, and scrumptious, and the gardens are something to behold.
My
friends and I, sometimes 3-4 of us, were offered drinks and meals throughout the day & night.
We were provided with extra pillows, and sheets, and were allowed to stay during the night.
I will always be thankful to all of the staff, especially the nurses, for making our dreadful experience the best it could possibly be.
I would definitely recommend this lovely care home. My mum's, mum, also spent her last 10 or so years in Goodwins Hall with no complaints. 5 stars from me & my family.

I intend ticking 'excellent' for all of the ratings. I've had first class service at all levels sometimes, seemingly due to staff shortage, there was a wait for service, but it always came, usually promptly. Above all else the staff here are kind, an underated gift.

Marked facilities down slightly for various reasons - lift often out of order. Coffee machine unreliable. All snacks cleared away lat afternoon.
Otherwise, very happy. Thank you for looking after my mum.

Reply from Flavia Hansell, Home Manager at Goodwins Hall Care Home

Thank you very much for your feedback, we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered. Just to clarify, we do have two lifts in the building, and both are regularly checked and maintained. Fortunately, if one is temporarily out of service, the other remains available for use to minimise disruption. Snacks are available at all hours in the kitchenettes, but we will ensure this is clearly communicated moving forward. We will also certainly take a look at the coffee machine to improve its reliability. We are so pleased to hear you're happy overall, and it is our privilege to look after your mum. Please do feel free to get in touch with any further suggestions or concerns.

 My recently deceased mother had lived at Goodwins Hall for the last 9 years. It was a place where she felt safe and cherished, and I will always be grateful for the care she received in her final years.

In 2010 my father-in-law lived here, he and we loved the care given. In the early part of this century I delivered pharmacy for my son-in-law's business and again my relationships with the staff was first class. Over the last 5 years my great friend resides here and our experiences demonstrate that
things never change and if anything improve.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.561)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.561) out of 10 for Goodwins Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.561 for Goodwins Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (120 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (7 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 453 Ratings = 4.561

  • b) 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 Goodwins Hall Care Home is based on 37 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
