Set in over 3 acres of well-kept lawns and gardens in a small hamlet adjoining the market town of Diss, Walcott Hall provides exemplary nursing, palliative and respite care for up to 42 residents.

Walcot Hall provides compassionate, person-centred care in a safe and friendly environment that exceeds expectations through the investment and support of a strong competent and skilled workforce, which ensures quality care and seeks to value and respect the uniqueness of residents and their families. The home offers a selection of carefully designed and furnished single and double rooms, the latter suitable for couples. All rooms are equipped with a 24 hour nurse call system, television, Wi-Fi and telephone point.

The meal experience is excellent, with the chef and catering team working hard to create meals that are both nutritious and tasty, using fresh seasonal ingredients. Residents can experience restaurant-style dining in the home's dining rooms, overlooking the beautiful countryside.

Rooms at Walcott Hall are arranged over two floors overlooking the lake, garden and surrounding countryside. The extensive grounds have lawns, flower beds, paths and patio areas to be enjoyed. A small gazebo and a larger summer house provide sheltered, comfortable resting points when enjoying a walk around the gardens. The home also features a garden-based cabin, equipped with two entrance points, protective Perspex screens, intercom system, heating/insulation, and a nurse call button. This facility allows them to provide greater capacity for visits by friends and relatives when they are not able to meet visiting needs within the home. Strict infection control procedures are maintained to keep all residents, staff and visitors safe.

My husband was admitted to Walcot Hall at the end of March after a long stay in hospital. Overall my family and I are happy with the home and care he receives.The staff are very friendly and caring and the activities very good. The things that I am not very happy about is that I am never given much
information about his medical care. I am able to ask, but don't get very good answers. Also he is sometimes in bed when I go to visit at 2.15 pm which is not very good, but wonder if there is are a reason for this.

Reply from Connie Hughes, Home Manager at Walcot Hall Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your review. We have seen a vast improvement in your husband's condition since his admission. He will remain prone to infections, and of course, you will need to be updated at all times about his condition. He will have the odd day in bed as he has requested. I will ensure staff ask how you are during your visits so you get the support you require. I am saddened to read you do not feel you are given enough information, as we have had many chats together since your husband arrived at Walcot Hall. Please continue to pop into the manager's office as many times as you require; we are here to support the family as well as the residents. It's nice to know you are happy with many of the other areas of care. My door is always open, my team and I will be happy to support you anyway we can. We are happy to receive reviews as these help us to focus on areas of care to make improvements. Thank you.

The general service has declined gradually since the occupants took residence in April 2024. a The common reason given is a lack of staff. Overall, the care is satisfactory, but small things have a habit of getting missed. For example morning/afternoon drinks and delays in responding to call alerts.
The quality of the food is excellent. Hospitality to visitors is very good.

Reply from Connie Hughes, Home Manager at Walcot Hall Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback DD, as advised in one of your previous reviews, we are fully established, staff try hard to respond as quickly as they can when any resident call for assistance - all calls are monitored for time response, every call every day. A daily report in generated any delay over 10 minutes is discussed daily in our 11 O'clock meetings, we can plan our care better everyday to help meet everyone's needs in a timely manner. Drink rounds are undertaken by our kitchen team, and at no point of any day has any drink round been missed. Standards can always be improved and we strive to do this by ensuring a continuous cycle of learning from incidents, compliments and complaints. My door is always open, please don't hesitate to come and see me if you have any issues of concern so that I may deal with them in real time. Kind Regards Connie

I would in future consider having my own Dad here.

My father was treated with great care and respect at Walcot Hall. He was extremely happy there. He agreed to go to the Hall for 2 weeks respite care when he was discharged from hospital, but decided to stay as he was treated like a Lord!
We were treated very kindly by the staff too. We had lunch with
Dad several times, they were always quick to offer us a drink during the day when we visited. The home manager was very supportive when Dad died, we could not have asked for more. Thank you.

Reply from Connie Hughes, Home Manager at Walcot Hall Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your comments, they mean so much to us all at Walcot Hall. Your father was an amazing gentleman, in every sense of the word. We miss him very much. We all wish you and your whole family all the very best and of course - feel free to pop in from time to time. We would all love to see you and say hi. Love and Best Wishes from Team Walcot Hall.

My friend came to Walcot Hall and stayed for 18 days of respite care. She came to you in a very weak state and prone to falls. This was after having been to hospital briefly and sent home but unfit to be left on her own. It wasn't until she returned home after her time with you that I realised how much
brighter and capable she had become. The manager spent considerable time getting her help twice daily but it soon became apparent she didn't need that help and it was brought to an end quite soon. Her time with you was hugely beneficial to her so thanks to everybody.

Reply from Connie Hughes, Home Manager at Walcot Hall Nursing Home

We are extremely happy to hear she is still doing so well, thank you so much for your kind words. I will share these with my team at Walcot Hall, please wish her well from all staff here - we hope she grows in strength to strength.

Our elderly and very frail friend has now been a resident at Walcot Hall for approaching a month and we have visited him on several occasions, and each time have been overwhelmed with the welcome shown to both my husband and myself and even our dog! Every member of staff seems so committed and focused
on providing care, compassion and time with the residents - nothing appears to be too much trouble. Happy staff, happy residents, all provided in a calm and spotlessly clean environment.

Very pleased with Dad's care. Lovely to have cheerful and helpful staff. A staff member has responded to our suggestion for more variety in Dad's pureed food as we felt he would enjoy sponge in custard etc. She was brilliant. Another two members of staff are very supportive of activities etc. Another
staff member is lovely. I always get offers of help and feel listened to.

We believe that service is compromised by regular staff shortages. This affects our experience through slow response times when calling for assistance. Today (16/10/24) and yesterday (15/10/24), no morning teas/coffees were provided, either in the morning or afternoon. We also believe that toiletries
should be provided e.g. soap, shower gel etc. Overall our experience is satisfactory but it could be improved if these matters were attended to. We like most of the staff and do not like to complain.

Reply from Connie Hughes, Home Manager at Walcot Hall Nursing Home

Thank you so much for your feedback, this is always so very helpful, to enable the team to improve on our current standards of practice. To reassure you, we have a full establishment of staff at Walcot Hall, but understand completely when you are needing support and having to wait for staff to arrive, I will share your comments with my teams and hope this improves going forwards. With regards to the toiletries, this is standard practice amongst all care home providers due to the variation in specific and personal requirements and choices, however, we do have a minimum stock on site if you do need any item, so please do come and ask - all at a very good rate.

We visited our friend in Walcot Hall in September. She was terminally ill but receiving a high level of kindness and good care. On our arrival we were greeted warmly, and as we had to wait a little while, we were offered somewhere comfortable to sit and a cup of tea. She was in a lovely room and said
that she was being well cared for.

Mother-in-law was a resident for 15 years - she was always looked after well and we were always welcome. The staff knew her well and tried their best to make her happy in her last few years. She always thought of it as her home.
Marked as 4-star because recent price hikes seemed beyond inflation.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.661)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.661) out of 10 for Walcot Hall Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 37 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 35 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 4.661 for Walcot Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (304 Excellents x 5) + (108 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 431 Ratings = 4.661

  • 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 Walcot Hall Nursing Home is based on 35 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 35 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.
