My husband has been a resident at Hylton view for just under a year now. Its a lovely home, clean and welcoming, there is plenty of activities on, I'm so happy with the impact of the care and interaction he is having on a daily basis. The staff are so down to earth, and able to understand what he needs.
These girls that work tirelessly, to bring love and support to others, is just astounding. They are worth their weight in gold.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nana spent around 5 weeks in Hylton View Care Home. The staff in here go above and beyond. They made us feel like we were all at home in what was a hard time. They treat my Nana with great dignity, care and respect. They excelled in all her needs and nothing was a problem. They took the time to get
her settled and make sure she was comfortable. Staff were professional but also down to earth. We could not be more greatful.
A extra special thanks to the Manager, who was always chatting and checking into my Nana, as well as making her laugh! He also spoke honestly and professionaly to family making the process smooth. My Nana sadly passed away in the care home. We could not be more greatful to this place and the staff for making my Nana so comfortable.
Reply from Dominique Creighton, Manager at Hylton View Care Home

Mam was quite poorly the other week and with a lot of care and love from all the staff she made a full recovery.
Many thanks to all the staff. Mam told me all the staff are very kind and there's always someone there to give a helpful hand.
I've got nothing but praise and high regards to all the staff
and I know mam is in very good hands. Thank you all.

Found both staff and the facility to be very good. Care workers, cleaners, and nurses all play a huge role in not always easy circumstances.
I think a fresh painting program for rooms and corridor areas would benefit this lovely home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.907)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.907) out of 10 for Hylton View Care Home 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 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 4.907 for Hylton View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (305 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.907
  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 Hylton View Care Home is based on 28 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 28 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.
