Norton Hall was fantastic in accommodating my father as a resident at virtually zero notice due to an emergency. He is very happy at Norton Hall, and it is clear that he is getting well looked after. His room is bright and spacious, and everything is kept clean and tidy. The staff are all very friendly
and helpful, the management team is extremely responsive.

As with most positive customer experiences, it's always about the people, and from our initial visit and through the first few weeks of my Dad's stay, the care team have all been excellent. Not only how they look after Dad' needs but also the how they communicate with him in a caring way, with both
dignity and humour. Likewise, when I observe them with other residents, the carers look like they are genuinely enjoying their work. Whenever I visit, I'm always greeted with a warm welcome and a quick update how Dad has been feeling that day.
Whilst it's heartbreaking watching your parents get older and vulnerable, I take great comfort at the end of my visits feeling that he's in safe and caring hands. I really don't think that you can wish for more than that.

Lovely home which has a smaller, family run feel to it. Staff are always kind and friendly during visits. The residents look happy socialising together in the communal areas. My mother is much happier there and she is more engaging when my sister and I visit.

Lovely, clean and bright room. The staff are always smiling and accommodating, taking my dad outside in a chair even when busy with everything else. My dad says the food is excellent. Activities are stimulating, can't believe my dad actually joins in. He looks like a different person in just a couple
of months that he has been here - he smiles!

My mum has been at Norton Hall for a year now and the whole family are so happy with the excellent care she receives from all the staff and the excellent support we receive from everyone. The staff are always friendly and welcoming when we visit and Mum is obviously well cared for. We can always chat
with the carers, nurses and the manager about Mum. I live about an hour away so a lot of my correspondence with the manager, is by email. I always get a prompt and detailed response to any queries and requests I make and this is so comforting and reassuring.
There are always activities going on and it's lovely to see the photos on social media especially when we can spot Mum taking part.
All the staff are so lovely and friendly and I can't thank them enough for all that they do for Mum and everything they do to support us as a family.

Mum arrived at Norton Hall after a very distressing and frightening experience. She was welcomed (as were we) with warmth and understanding. This had been a very worrying time for us as a family. The manager and senior staff always have time to speak to us about Mum and her day. It's nice that we can
visit anytime. Mum always looks clean and cared for and enjoys wearing her favourite perfume (thank you to all care staff for this). Heartfelt thanks to everyone at this lovely home!

Some of the staff are brilliant, others not so good, and when I put a complaint in about a member of staff I had no follow up from anybody. Food is also satisfactory at times. The entertainer lady is brilliant and the nursing home has a lovely garden. The other point is that some of the staff park in
the smaller car park near the home and not further down on the staff car park where they have to walk a little way.

In general the care for my mother is extremely good. Sometimes the food has been a little questionable recently, but I understand the cook has now returned so hopefully meals will return to the standard they were. My mum participates in the the activity programme which is generally good and she enjoys
keep fit, particularly along with the occasional trips out which are always a winner! I am really pleased that there doesn't seem to be a big turnover of staff and relationships can be built with residents, which is so important for people living with dementia.

I visited Norton Hall a few days ago to see my sister-in-law, who had recently returned to the nursing home after a spell in hospital. I had arranged to speak to the manager, so I could be filled in on my sister-in-law's progress since returning to the home. The manager was very knowledgeable about
my sister-in-law, very professional and knew all about her discharge and current situation. The staff were very friendly and I was very grateful for the cup of coffee they gave me after my long journey. I also met the nurse, who again was very knowledgeable about my sister-in-law. I would definitely recommend this care home to others. It is run exceptionally well.

My mother was a resident at Norton Hall Nursing Home from January to April 2023, having had a bad fall in November. Sadly she died at the age of 92. She was bed ridden for the 4 months that she was there. The care she received was beyond reproach. She was never an easy person to please and yet without
fail the staff remained cheerful and helpful with a compassion that was inspirational. She had no complaints about her time there (other than she was not allowed to have a cigarette in her room....) and her wishes regarding her day to day activity were always accommodated. An amazing place to have spent her final days and we are so very grateful to all the staff there.

Excellent experience all around. Beautiful home in attractive surroundings with lots of parking. Staff are skilled & experienced in managing all manner of physical and mental ailments, consequently, residents are cared for with patience and respect. I was an almost daily visitor, and was treated like
one of the family. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

A very homely environment, with friendly, caring staff and excellent home-cooked food. This is a relatively small care home in a traditional building which helps to create this friendly atmosphere. My father is in a single en suite room which has enabled us to personalise with pictures etc. Maintenance
staff were always willing to move furniture, hang pictures etc.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Norton Hall Nursing Home for two and a half years now, and throughout her time as a resident, she has received an exceptional level of care. The staff at Norton Hall do everything possible to accommodate her needs. As a family, we have every confidence that mum
is in very good hands, the dedication shown by the care staff is admirable. We have always found the staff to be friendly, kind, companionate and caring treating mum with dignity and love. Mum is very settled, happy and content in this safe and loving environment. We would highly recommend Norton Hall to care for your loved ones.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.546)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.546) out of 10 for Norton Hall Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.546 for Norton Hall Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.546

  • 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 Norton Hall Nursing Home is based on 11 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 11 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.
