Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since Mum moved in I have seen a marked improvement in her health and wellbeing. Mum was transferred from another home after not settling in and poor care.
Mum is happy here and all the staff are lovely, approachable and most of all caring.


Mum is happy with her room and most of all the care they

provide. They have taken the time to get to know Mum and I can see this has helped enormously in her settling in. Many thanks!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My auntie sadly was only with the nursing home a few weeks before she passed away.
Within them weeks she was made welcome from day 1 and enjoyed the activities.
She said she felt cared for and enjoyed chatting with the staff.
During her last few days I cannot express enough how amazing the care
was to both my aunt and family members.
Nothing was an issue for them and all requests were dealt with in a timely and efficient way.
The manager appeared to have an open door policy and took time to listen to the family.
Aberford Hall has totally changed my perception of nursing homes and I would not hesitate to recommend this nursing home.
They are a first class team and I will be forever grateful

After visiting other care homes I decided along with my daughter, this was showing us it was the best. All staff are brilliant and very caring, we were shown around by the manager, and she answered every question and put our minds at ease. The family wanted excellent care for our sister as she had suffered
badly at her previous address. This is an excellent home with very caring staff. So very happy indeed that we chose this care home, my sister is also a lot happier too "I would recommend".

Absolutely over the moon we managed to get my husband in this wonderful place. Nothing is ever too much trouble, the staff are amazing and always put the residents first. We knew it was going to be the place when we rang up to see if we could have a look around and the manager said 'When do you want
to come, now, in an hour, it's totally up to you'. Nothing to hide there we thought.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Having to see my dad move into a nursing home was such a difficult time for us especially being over the Christmas period. I am also a carer myself and was very concerned about finding a suitable home with a high standard of care.
From first arriving at Aberford home to look around I could honestly
tell immediately we'd found a hidden gem. I can tell from meeting the staff, looking around and being made to feel so welcome, that it was the perfect home for my dad and I am still to this day hugely thankful for all the care and support given to my dad by the staff team. Aberford Hall is such a person-centred environment which is well-led and has most importantly a homely and clean feel to it.

I can't thank the staff at Aberford Hall for taking care of my husband while I have a well-needed break. If it wasn't for the manager and her staff I would be lost without them. He absolutely loves staying there and he non stops talks about the staff when I go collect him. Everything is perfect for
him, gives me peace of mind to know he is well looked after, never no problems nothing is too much for the staff. I would 100% recommend Aberford Hall and again thank them so much for all they do for us.

I visited my brother-in-law for many years at Aberford Hall Care Home. I always saw excellent care, clean rooms and a wonderful caring staff. I noted the first-class preparation of food. My brother-in-law always loved the meals. When I visited he would ask for tea and sandwiches - and always got them.
I have to mention the remarkable manager. Absolutely dedicated to her job. Clever, understanding, willing to listen and always forthright. A superb organiser and manager. My brother-in-law was the most challenging of residents but she helped and did everything to help him. Again, a brilliant manager. Many thanks to her.

My parent is content and smiles so much more than before. She is well cared for and shown kindness and consideration by staff. She beams when staff address her which is lovely to see.
It's such a relief to know she is safe and in good hands. All the staff are just wonderful. Not enough staff though.
They work so hard, wish we had more so more time could be spent giving human 1-1 contact. They have so much to do.

My father was languishing for over a month in the hospital waiting to be discharged to suitable accommodation. We were delighted that Aberford Hall Care Home had a place for him. Dad is settled and the staff are exceptionally good. I see him every day and there is always a member of staff looking in
on him and checking he's ok. That gives me such peace of mind. Big thanks to all the staff.

This is my first review for my father. He has only been with you since February this year. From the short time I'm here, when visiting, the staff seem very attentive, kind and I feel Dad is treated with the utmost dignity.
He always seems to be in bed though and I feel it would be nice to coax him
out of it now and again.
But overall, he seems happy, not stressed from making the transaction from home and I feel that is mainly down to the care he is receiving from yourselves.
Well done. Keep it up!
Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Aberford Hall Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete a care home review regarding Aberford Hall. I am pleased to hear that you feel your father is given the love and care that he deserves. In response to your comment, we will encourage your father to arise from his bed each day for a couple of hours.

All staff are very friendly and cannot do enough to help. A staff member was outstanding today cutting my husband's hair and beard for him which desperately needed doing. Aberford Hall Care Home is a wonderful place for the elderly and I always feel welcomed. I know my husband is being well cared for.

I transferred my mother to Aberford Hall after a dreadful experience elsewhere, the ambulance crew prepared me in case my mother died in transit, she was in such poor condition. After a little over a month I can confidently say she has transformed into a lively, happy person, has gained weight and has
started to an interest in her appearance and activities. I truly believe the team at Aberford Hall have saved her life, I cannot thank them enough and I now look forward to many more happy times together. Thanks for all the work you do and care you take, its amazing.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.818)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.818) out of 10 for Aberford Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.818 for Aberford Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (135 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.818
  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 Aberford Hall Care Home is based on 14 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 14 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.
