All the staff are caring and friendly.
From the first time I visited before Dad moved in, the staff were friendly from the get-go. I am so blessed to have a dad in such a wonderful environment where everyone is friendly.
The staff are so supportive of both me and my dad. I cannot have asked nor prayed
for a better place for Dad to live.

Although the premises are old, the care home is very clean and the care given at Hamilton Park is of a very good standard. Cheerful friendly staff who are caring and sensitive to my mother's needs. Good sized bedroom with an ensuite and a nice view of trees. Plenty of activities. The food looked good.
Management is available for a chat if needed.

Review from Lorraine G (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 October 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I can honestly say that my father's stay here was short but sweet. The comfort they brought to him was amazing at his end of life. The manager is outstanding as are the staff, I would like to thank them all for every bit of help they gave me at a very difficult time. I realised that I knew one lady
who has been a carer for so much of her life and now deals with the housekeeping side but to me she will always be a carer. She helped me and stayed with me when I was so nervous about going into the room to see dad when he passed. I was also offered a drink by one of the staff they were all amazing and caring. The young lady in the office was brilliant, I can't thank them all enough. I would highly recommend Hamilton Park to anyone for their loved ones.

I have had nothing but positive dealings with the management of Hamilton Park Nursing Home. Staff and management are very helpful and kind. My husband is looked after really well and likes it. Plus I get down a lot but after visiting I always feel a lot calmer and relaxed.

Review from Robert M (Son of Resident) published on 8 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
On my first visit, I was greeted nicely by all of the staff team and immediately made to feel very welcome (with a cup of coffee). The atmosphere in the dining/living area seemed very relaxed with enough staff evident to meet the needs of the people sitting there. The staff have since kept me fully
informed of my father's care needs, and the manager has taken the time to get to know me and to also have an active role in my father's care. The activities coordinators seem to have a genuine enthusiasm for their jobs, and there always seems to be something happening each time I have visited. I have also been very impressed with the quality of the food being offered at mealtimes.

Review from James D (Brother of Resident) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My brother was only a resident from August 2022 until he passed away on April 29th 2023. During his time at Hamilton Park Nursing Home, his well-being improved noticeably compared with the decline in general condition that occurred when he was largely forgotten about in his own home during lockdown.
He owned his house and was very reluctant to move into care but in his last few months at Hamilton Park, he became 'active' again leaving the depression that settled upon him.

Review from M I (Son of Resident) published on 18 May 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was admitted to the home from hospital for end of life care covered by the NHS. Mum was only there a few days before she passed away so can only comment from brief experience but will say we couldn't have placed Mum in a better care home if we had tried! On Mum's last day, she went downhill fast
and no family could be at her bedside in time to be with her, but the home staff were and they did not leave her to pass alone. Family members were able to be with Mum later that day, they were looked after so well by the staff who provided food, drink, care and comfort to them at a difficult time. I visited the home 5/6 days later to help collect Mum's personal effects and to thank the staff. I found that same concern, care and comfort from them. The home was clean, yes, the decor was a bit tired but in life the service you get depends on the people who provide it, the home staff are diamonds! From experience, I would recommend the home and its staff!

May not be "The Ritz" but most certainly makes up for this in all the important ways. Excellent food etc. but above all, professional and caring staff who actually seem to enjoy their work! Such a relief to have the confidence to know Mother is happy, settled and well looked after by these unsung angels.

The resident that was in the nursing home wasn't in there for long as she was at end of life. The care she received was excellent and dignified. She was kept clean and comfortable, and we were able to bring in photos flowers and CDs of her favourite music to make her room more familiar and homely. Nothing
was too much trouble for the staff that took care of her. A television was provided which made her very happy as she loved watching it.

I am more than pleased with the care and attention given to my husband. Nothing seems too much trouble for any of the staff. I know he can be difficult, which makes life difficult for the carers, and I know he wants to be at home. Sadly he cannot accept that he can no longer walk, so for my peace of
mind, I could not wish for him to be in a more caring and loving environment than Hamilton Park. I truly appreciate all the care and attention that is given to him.

Mum only moved here four weeks ago but was made welcome straight away. Staff are keen to learn about her likes, dislikes and past life so that they can cater and find activities for her to do.
We have found it easy to talk with staff and they are always cheerful and welcoming.
Mum's room is not
large but it has been freshly decorated with new furniture and flooring.

Mum has been a resident at Hamilton Park Nursing Home for 10 months. Since day 1 her care has been excellent. The staff have taken the time to get to know her and her needs/requirements both physically and mentally. The staff always show care and compassion and treat mum with the utmost respect. If
the care home has any queries or problems a member of staff is always very quick to advise me. I am completely happy with the care mum is receiving at Hamilton Park Nursing Home.

My dad has been a resident at Hamilton Park Nursing Home for many years, there has been many changes over the years, the biggest changes can be seen this year under the new manager who with the support of the staff is working hard to improve the quality of the care all the residents receive, along with
making changes to the environment which were very old and dated before. Sadly, this year i;ve lost my mum. Staff have shown my dad so much kindness and support during this time. Staff are so kind and caring.

My 95-year-old mother has been a resident at Hamilton Park for nearly 2 years. In the majority of that time, there has not been a manager. Even so, the staff have been excellent and my mother, suffering from senile dementia, has been very happy there. There have been a lot of changes recently with
the new manager and it seems a much better organised establishment. Some new staff have joined as well and the care my mother gets is superb. The staff have been very patient with her.
My mother's room, although a bit small is well equipped with: washbasin, wardrobe, bedside drawers, her own comfy chair, her own TV, over bed table and commode. It is well lit and has a large window, with views onto Hamilton Park itself. It is well heated and kept clean and tidy. My mother is well fed, with a choice of menu and in the day-room, she has an allocated chair and can join in with the activities if she wants, which is not very often! There is always a good atmosphere when you go in to visit.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.699)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.699) out of 10 for Hamilton Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.699 for Hamilton Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (232 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 296 Ratings = 4.699
  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 Hamilton Park Nursing Home is based on 24 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 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
    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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 24 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.
