Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father came to the care home in September 2024 and so far I think it is the best thing to happen for him.
The meals he gets are sufficient, his room is nice and warm, One member of staff in particular is very warm and welcoming, always there if you have any questions, I even discussed my dads 80th
birthday and she was excited to help with planning it (it's not until March).
The office staff are nice and approachable, the careers are also nice.
They have also arranged for my dad to have a hearing test which is brilliant.
So far my experience and my dad's has all been positive.

Overall I would consider my experience at this care home to be very good. My great-grandmother has been at this care home for at least 2 years and despite her dementia she seems to be right at home and the staff do their upmost to provide above and beyond care to make sure she is safe comfortable.
You can tell a lot of care and love has gone into the care home and because of this I would highly recommend.

Excellent service and care from the staff at Snapethorpe Hall in the lead-up to and throughout the Christmas period. So many cheerful and enthusiastic activities were provided to ensure the residents had a wonderful festive experience. The staff really went out of their way to make it memorable. Thank

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The carers at this home truly excel at what they do. A particular member of staff and her dedicated team consistently go above and beyond to ensure the residents feel comfortable, valued, and cared for. Their commitment to creating a positive and supportive environment is evident in everything they
do, from providing exceptional day-to-day care to fostering a genuine sense of community among the residents. It's incredibly heartwarming to see how much joy they bring to the lives of those in their care.
One of the standout aspects of this home is the emphasis on fun and engagement. The team works hard to organise a variety of activities that keep the residents entertained and stimulated, whether it's through games, group outings, or creative workshops. It's clear that they understand the importance of mental and emotional well-being just as much as physical health.
Knowing that my gran is in such capable hands brings immense peace of mind.

The 2024 residents' Christmas party at Snapethorpe Hall was a delightful event enjoyed by all attendees. It was heartening to witness everyone collaborating to create festive decorations and engaging in activities such as party games and the "Guess the Reindeer's Name". The Christmas raffle added an
extra layer of excitement to the celebration. The staff at Snapethorpe Hall truly excel, demonstrating exceptional dedication and care. Thank you to all for making it such a wonderful experience.

Review from Diane K (Regular Volunteer) published on 17 December 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have visited this and many other care homes in the locality regularly. It was my privilege to celebrate Communion with the residents of the care home on a monthly basis when I was the curate in the parish. Every time I visited, whether expected or not, the residents I saw were well cared for and
treated with dignity and respect. The staff always seemed to care for the residents as if they were their own family members. The home has always been clean and well maintained.
They also recognised the value that even people with advanced dementia could gain from worship and included them in our monthly services as often as they were able to and they encouraged any resident who would value engaging in worship to be a part of the service.
I've been in other places where the care is very different and whenever I am asked about good care homes locally this is one of the examples I think of. Thank you for all you do.

My mum feels very happy at the care home as she loves the staff and especially the activity coordinator.
My mum loves the activities and the day trips and has made friends.
She is always happy to share videos and tells us about future events and my mum's involvement. We can't praise her enough as
she is an asset to the team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The level of care at Snapethorpe has honestly been absolutely incredible. Despite my gran not wanting to leave her home town of Horbury, the people who care for her have been endlessly patient and kind. Taking her on trips out to Sheffield, to Roundhay Park in Leeds, to visit farms to see animals (goats
etc). Also the activities manager is always doing arts and crafts with the residents who are interested. Making Halloween masks and painting little pumpkins last week! Gran is always clean and well-fed too. Her hygiene needs are always met. Doctors' visits and help with meds etc if need to change. I honestly could not ask for more. We brought Gran here from word-of-mouth reviews, and I'm so happy we talked to those people and got those recommendations.

My husband became a resident of Snapethorpe Care Home in March 2024. After a Rocky start, I'm pleased to say he has settled down! The home is spotlessly clean and all the staff are super friendly and helpful working long shifts. Good teamwork! Recently it was my husband's 90th birthday, what a fantastic
party they put on for him, I couldn't thank them enough that expression 'a good time was had by all' certainly applied. I would recommend Snapethorpe Care Home.

We chose Snapethorpe for Mum's respite care following a period in hospital and because she has dementia . The staff have been very understanding with Mum who isn't always easy to pacify due to her mental state . The lady who organises activities is an absolute gem and a massive asset to the home . She
goes out of her way to email photos to me showing Mum participating in activities such as ceramic painting and a visit to a farm. Mum had previously had respite in other care homes and this one has been the best in providing Mum with activities to keep her busy as that is what she needs to keep her engaged and happy. I am truly grateful to all the staff and hope Mum can be a permanent resident there when her respite is over.

Very good and the staff are excellent. The menus need updating. Everything else is very good.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Snapethorpe Hall Care HomeThank you for the feedback regarding the menus. Our menus are on a six-week cycle and are changed at least twice per year, in line with Spring/Summer and Autumn/Winter. These are created with resident involvement and are specifically designed to incorporate the required ingredients to provide the right balance of nutrients for our residents. There are always at least two options for lunch and dinner, with alternative light bites available at any time if preferred by residents. Our head chef is always happy to chat with our residents about the menus and any changes they would like to see, regularly attending the Resident's Meetings within the home.

My mum, who has Alzheimers is now a permanent resident in Snapethorpe Hall after going in in April. This was the hardest decision I had to make putting my mum in a home, after looking after her for nearly 3 years in my own home with myself and my husband. I have found it to be so nice going to see Mum
and feeling like a daughter and no longer her carer. I have found the home to be spotlessly clean and all the staff are so lovely, there is some form of entertainment every day. I have been kept informed about how my mum is and I feel at ease to visit or phone them whenever I want. The staff are always busy but still find the time to chat with you if need be. My mum is very well cared for and comfortable.
I would recommend Snapethorpe Hall.

Most of Mum's care was fine, but was dissatisfied with food. She was on a level six swallow and was given the wrong food on several occasions while I was there. Mum died of sepsis, aspiration pneumonia, ischemic heart disease and Alzheimer's. I would not recommend Snapethorpe Hall. Mum was left in bed
on many occasions. I got her out, washed and dressed her.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Snapethorpe Hall Care HomeWe appreciate you taking the time to give feedback on the care your relative received during their stay at Snapethorpe Hall.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I feel my dad was looked after well, and his basic needs were catered for. Most staff were caring and friendly, but some could be moody and unapproachable. In comparison to some other homes, I feel Snapethorpe lacks a welcoming and social environment for guests and residents.
In four years, staff
turnover has been frequent.
I didn't always get accurate updates on his health and because of Dad's dementia, he became agitated when he was given letters about hospital appointments. Dad's only complaint was the food - he said quality could be better. In general, though, I am happy with his care and thank all staff for looking after him.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.734)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.734) out of 10 for Snapethorpe Hall Care 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 38 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  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.
