Review from Maxine E (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum came to Hillcroft from another care home - where her personal care was non-existent. She moved to Hillcroft, and within a couple of days, she seemed settled and had a shower and her hair done. The care she received is excellent, even down to her clothes all matching, etc, which would be so important
to Mum.

Review from A N (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 September 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Hillcroft gave my mum loving consistent and compassionate care.
Mum was there for approx 5 years. Never a worry for us she was cherished by the staff. We had moved Mum to Hillcroft Carnforth to be nearer me and because of the loving nurturing staff at the home.
Thank you. This home cares. It's a wonderful
place. I would and do recommend them.

Review from L B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandad has been here since June 2023 on the oak unit after an unpredicted accident and almost 6 months in hospital. Whilst it took him a while to adjust after being independent for so long the staff really were/are so patient with him. He is allowed to be as independent as possible, the staff are
so friendly and approachable to my grandad and family members and try their best to engage regularly on visits and give updates every time I come to visit. Placing him here is easily a great decision our family has made after reviewing multiple homes. Cannot begin to thank the staff enough for the care he has received.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.939)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.939) out of 10 for Hillcroft Nursing Home (Carnforth) 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 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 4.870 for Hillcroft Nursing Home (Carnforth) is calculated as follows: ( (61 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 69 Ratings = 4.87
  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 4.069 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hillcroft Nursing Home (Carnforth) is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.469
  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.
