Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been in Snapethorpe since July, initially as respite then continued. We chose this care home due to the homely feel, and the ease of navigation round the home which we felt mum could cope with independently.
This has continued to be the case, it is indeed homely, with friendly staff, and mum
can find her way round. Any issues we have raised have been actioned, so I have confidence that this would continue to be the case. All in all this has been a positive experience so far!

My sister and I visited a number of care homes before deciding on Snapethorpe Hall for my mum who has dementia. We were initially looking for a home for a period of respite care whilst we went on holiday, but also with a view to potentially permanent care. That was back in July 2025, and mum has since
become a permanent resident.
From the moment we first stepped into the home it felt right for mum and each time we go in there it still feels the same, which is testament to the friendly staff that work in there. It feels very homely; there are lots of activities going on from singing, crafting, sports afternoon, coffee mornings to organised trips out too. Mum loves to get involved in most of the activities and she has made friends with other residents. The staff are very caring, compassionate, visible, engaging and they look after mums needs very well, and we know that she is safe.

It's very welcoming, and when I visit, all the service users seem happy and well cared for the staff gives us information on my relative and do generally seem to care. It's always clean and the lounge is welcoming. It's always daunting leaving a loved one behind but a least I know he is safe and happy.

Mum initially came to Snapethorpe for respite but due to her needs became a resident, we had no hesitation in this decision as the place has a lovely feel about it and it was our first choice of care for mum. The staff are lovely and always available for a chat and to provide for mum. The room was
lovely and the cleaning immaculate. Mum sadly wasn't there long enough to enjoy all the activities, but her time there put me and my sister's mind at rest. When she died the staff were so kind and supportive. I would highly recommend Snapethorpe care home.

Mum came into Snapethorpe in the spring time, initially as respite care after a fall at home which unfortunately worsened her dementia symptoms.
Mum is now a permanent resident at Snapethorpe and I have seen over a period of 6 months that she has become more settled in her surroundings. She is receiving
good care and all of the staff have been lovely.
She joins in with all of the activities that are organised every day and really does seem to enjoy them.

Review from Ady T (Son of Resident) published on 9 October 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum suffers with Dementia and required a Care Home for a period of Respite Care whilst we were on holiday, and to provide reassurance after a period of illness. The management at the Care Home were responsive to our initial inquiry, and supportive of my mums needs in providing a room at relatively
short notice.


From the time of my mum entering the residence, we found the staff to be both visible and engaging which gave reassurance that mum's needs would be attended to. During our visits staff were available to talk to if required and to provide information on the various activities mum had engaged in; bingo, sing-alongs, mobility sessions etc - which we had also witnessed.


The staff also went the extra mile for my mums birthday, personalising her room with birthday decorations and baking a birthday cake - which was a really superb personal touch.


Overall a very positive experience, and we would not hesitate in recommending Snapethorpe Hall for either Respite or Residential Care

My mum had been a resident at Snapethorpe Hall for approx 2 years before becoming ill just after Christmas 2024. Mum was given the best possible care but unfortunately at the beginning of April this year she sadly passed away.
All the staff were so lovely and supportive at this time which was so appreciated
by us all.
They helped us through this really sad and hard time and we can't thank them enough.

Since my mum went into Snapethorpe Hall her mood and mobility has significantly improved, my mum has dementia and was unable to care for herself.
All the staff are a joy and encouraged mum to join in all the entertainment they provide.
Snapethorpe Hall take mum out with other residents, nothing is
too much trouble.
The care my mum is given is totally 100%.
I can now go and see my mum has her daughter and not as a carer.

Review from M R (Resident) assisted by family/friend published on 24 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was in respite care in May and received kindness and care from wonderful, caring and friendly staff. I could have anything in my room I needed from home and nothing was too much trouble. One staff member in particular took me on my first day to meet everyone in the lounge and I never left there! We
were singing, crafting, colouring whether we wanted to or not! We all joined in. It was so much fun and I have said since I came home I coped really well and didn't think I would like it as it wasn't my home, but they made it as good as they could for us and everyone was so very kind. Thank you to everyone, you love and support has meant an awful time wasn't bad. And everyone at Snapethorpe give their best in very difficult times to us older folk.

Review from B S (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 June 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When Mum needed respite care in 2025, it felt like a truly heartbreaking time. She could no longer manage alone, despite her fierce independence. Navigating the care system and a loved one's illness, as anyone who has faced it can attest, really does feel like 'falling off a cliff'. After visiting several
facilities, it was clear that investment, more staff and resources were desperately needed across the care sector to provide the quality of service every family dreams of for their loved ones. Then we found Snapethorpe Hall Care Home. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed without an appointment and given a tour. I could speak to residents, chat with family members and ask all my questions. The home itself is bright, modern and clean, with an open-plan layout. Soft music played and thank you cards were proudly displayed - a truly welcoming atmosphere. The rooms are en-suite and residents are encouraged to bring their own belongings to make it feel like home. We felt confident Mum would be safe here. I met the manager, who has a wonderfully calm demeanour and clearly explained how everything worked. Staff were always visible, friendly and available to help. They worked seamlessly as a team, handling the complex and unique needs of over 50 individuals every day, always prioritising the best care for each person. They see everyone as an individual. Then there is the lady, she is the heart of Snapethorpe, orchestrating all the events, fun and activities. She has the biggest heart and soul. From the very first meeting, she's warm, friendly and incredibly inclusive. With her natural expertise, she encourages everyone to participate in the life of the home; no one is left alone unless they choose to be. She embodies inclusivity. She has masterminded a vast array of activities, visits and entertainment that changes weekly, always introducing new themes or ventures that she makes accessible to everyone. During Mum's six-week stay, she joined in Easter egg painting, crafting, endless bingo, won the Grand National sweepstake and participated in various raffles and tombolas. There were visits from schoolchildren, trips out, an ice cream van, 1940's singers, dog visits, talks, folk singers, dancing, nearly daily music and exercise, VE Day celebrations and even a pantomime! Every day, she brings everyone together for chats and to prepare for the next exciting event! Her next project is the garden and her enthusiasm is boundless - she's determined to get it done, aiming high, always smiling and keeping everyone's spirits up. This kind of personality is priceless, especially in circumstances often marked by illness and sadness. She never lets anything deter her or get in the way of ensuring everyone smiles their way through their day. The value of this specialist profession, driven by love, kindness and genuine care, can never truly be repaid or taught. It is a service at best carried out with grace and compassion. While a care home isn't a loved one's own home, we found Snapethorpe to be warm, kind and incredibly supportive, with caring staff who were there when we needed them most. When we felt like we were 'falling off that cliff' the staff at Snapethorpe truly broke our fall. They helped us through a very difficult period, providing incredible care and time and supporting us every step of the way. With limited services and resources they are given, this was a place filled with people of immense kindness and care. We will never forget any of them and we know how incredibly valued they are by everyone whose lives they touch.

  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 37 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 4.734 for Snapethorpe Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (358 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (21 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 451 Ratings = 4.734
  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 Snapethorpe Hall Care Home is based on 37 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 + 0.025 = 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 37 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.
