My mother moved to Stowlangtoft Hall recently and has settled very well. The friendly and professional staff made her feel at home straight away. The care that she has received since moving in has been exceptional and has helped her to feel well and more comfortable at home. I very much enjoy my visits
to Stowlangtoft Hall knowing my mother is safe and well cared for. The daily social activities are superb and means that my mother is entertained and stimulated during the day. Stowlangtoft Hall is a wonderful home in a beautiful environment which is a pleasure to be able to spend quality time with Mum.
Reply from Ruth French, Director at Stowlangtoft HallWe are so pleased that your mother has had such a positive start to her time at Stowlangtoft Hall and that the activities have been benefitting her so much. Thank you.

My mother in law has settled in very quickly. The staff are always very friendly, welcoming and supportive every time I visit. I can relax each time I visit and can spend quality time with my mother in law in a beautiful environment.


The daily social interaction has been very important for her and

has enriched her life's experience. She is enjoying life.


To think of improvements is extremely difficult as we know that she is in good, safe hands and we do not have to worry in any way about her when we are at home.


The food rating I would put as unknown but as I have to give a rating this has to be based on her comments to me. She certainly looks well fed.


Perhaps more trips out?


Occasional evening meal in the dining hall - a social event?


Residents' use of computers?


Tea dancing?

Reply from Ruth French, Director at Stowlangtoft HallThank you very much for your helpful review, which is much appreciated and gives us some additional things to think about!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The big old mansion has been well adapted to accommodate almost fifty users. Almost all rooms have a wash basin and a toilet but no shower or bath - of which there is one each on every floor. Big, airy and bright rooms (library, craft room, dining room) can be used by anyone. The parkland, terrace and
conservatory provide more facilities. The carers/nurses are very friendly, helpful and patient, often an essential requirement! There are also activities organised for each afternoon. Perhaps some additional staff on the floor with permanent and highly disabled residents would be beneficial. On the whole, this is a high-quality nursing home.

Stowlangtoft Hall is a stately house situated in beautiful parkland, sporting a wide variety of mature trees, which I enjoyed walking amongst every day.
The home is beautifully maintained property retaining the character of the country mansion with entrance hall, library etc adapted to the needs of
a nursing home in a very sympathetic manner.
I found the staff, without exception, very friendly and helpful during my fortnight respite care, always with a smile and a laugh.
I would like to express my thanks to all for an enjoyable time spent at the Hall.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My sister-in-law was at Stowlangtoft Hall for five years. She loved the surroundings and always said how lovely the staff were. Although suffering from progressive dementia her every need were catered for. She was given dignity and freedom to be herself and do as she wished. The staff and management
were amazing in all they did for her. She insisted on wearing the same clothes. The staff solved this problem by removing the items at night, laundering and returning them to her room as if they had been there all the time to avoid upset. She was treated as one of the family and it really was her home in every sense. It was also such a relief when she needed nursing she could stay in her room and her familiar surroundings; so important to dementia sufferers. I cannot express how much of a reassurance it was to see the care and dedication all the staff at Stowlangtoft gave my sister-in-law. There is no doubt their care prolonged making her last years as happy as possible.

My mother has been at Stowlangtoft since August and during that time she has been very well looked after. I visit her on a regular basis and have found all members of staff to be very helpful, polite and friendly and clearly have the wellbeing of the residents as their chief concern. The office and
nursing staff are always ready to help to ensure that all matters concerning my mother's residence at the home runs smoothly, whether it be doctor's of hospital visits as well as helping with any application for financial assistance from social services. Her room is well appointed with both washbasin and toilet included as well as having a pleasant outlook over a pleasant courtyard as well as a view over the grounds when she goes into the passage on the other side. She enjoys very good meals in a 'grand' dining room and is able to receive visitors in the day rooms or the study if entertaining them for a meal. For myself, it is in a very convenient location, but I doubt that I would find any better if I were to look further afield.

My mother in law came here for respite whilst we had a well earned holiday. She was well looked after by the very caring staff and really did not want to come back home. She thoroughly enjoyed the food and the company and when we picked her up at the end of her stay, she looked revitalised.
The kindness
and friendliness of the staff was the highlight of the drive home, which I believe speaks volumes.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has lived at Stowlangtoft Hall for the last four and a half years and died there a week ago. She was always happy there, firstly because the staff were unfailingly kind and patient with her. She was comfortable and enjoyed the magnificent setting of trees and garden, and she loved the surrounding
countryside.


She died at Stowlangtoft Hall and was cared for in the last week of her life with a sensitivity and an affection that I will always remember. I realised, as I should have know all along, that this particular care home is extraordinary for the way in which the residents are treated as individuals and that, even though my mother at 95 years of age had no short-term memory and found conversation quite difficult, that she was regarded as a friend and as a vital member of an extended family.


I am hugely grateful to all the staff at Stowlangtoft Hall who looked after my mother and who were the last new friends that she made in the course of her long life.

Following my mother's stroke at the age of 96, we were advised that she should receive 24 hour nursing care. We found Stowlangtoft Hall Nursing Home and asked the Manager to discuss arrangements with my mother in hospital. Although mother is a very independent person, she saw the good sense in living
in an excellently managed environment where she would receive 24 hour nursing care. She is now very happy with her large, bright and airy room and our minds are at rest knowing that she is well cared for. The staff are always cheerful, helpful and obliging. We find the Hall most agreeable.

The nursing home took my husband at very short notice for end of life care, even though they were not sure the only available room was suitable. This meant a lot to us as we live in the next village so could be with mum as much as possible.
The management went the second mile to provide a one to one-night
nurse and soon moved him to a lovely room. The care and adaptability of the staff were outstanding especially the trained nurses. Even the kitchen staff were willing to provide whatever food he fancied. The family was also offered meals. Six staff struggled to open a special bottle of love for him!

My brother was transferred from a busy hospital for palliative care. He only spent 36 hours at Stowlangtoft Hall but it was worth every minute of the time. Calm very caring staff. Nothing was too much trouble.
He died at peace there.

As a frequent visitor to Stowlangtoft Hall I have much praise for this wonderful nursing home. The staff are very friendly and attentive, offering excellent round-the-clock care. The activities co--ordinators always ensure a full-time taste of various events, activities and outings so there is something
for everyone to get involved with. I have found the manager extremely helpful and always willing to offer a quick response to any query or problem arising. The hall itself is very welcoming and of a high standard. I would thoroughly recommend Stowlangtoft Hall.

I requested admission for my father for convalescence and rehabilitation care. My father was extremely well cared for in a holistic manner.
He was empowered and enabled to increase his independence to the point where he was able to care for himself and therefore to be in a position to be able to return
home. The staff listened to and respected my father's home routine which definitely facilitated his rehabilitation and discharge. The personalised care was very evident. The food was excellent! Although my father did not want to particularly engage with the activities on offer, I was very aware that the activities coordinators were available 7 days a week for the residents delivering a diverse range of activities.

I would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at Stowlangtoft Hall for your personal and caring approach to my uncle's care. Although he was only with you for a short time I felt secure in the knowledge that he was being looked after very well. There were many reasons for choosing Stowlangtoft
but the most important was the personal attention I received which is lacking in the big corporate organisations that run many care homes.
Well done and thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for Stowlangtoft Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.913 for Stowlangtoft Hall is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 219 Ratings = 4.913
  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 4.975 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Stowlangtoft Hall is based on 19 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 = 3.975
    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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 19 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.
