As a friend of one of your residents i have noticed that my friend is being well cared for and is treated with respect and dignity- there is a wide variety of food available and regular refreshments! The reception staff are always cheerful and helpful- there are activities available if you want to
join in with things - my friend tells me he feels safe and well cared for at Yohden Hall Care Home,

I know my husband is well cared for. That means a lot of pressure is taken off me. All staff are so caring and helpful. All my husbands needs are catered for he is always neat and tidy when I visit. There is one member of staff who I think goes the extra mile. She has a really bubbly personality.

Dad has been here just over a year and we cannot find fault with the care my dad has received in that time. Staff, food, care, cleanliness. He is 96 and with that age come plenty of problems, but they get through it with plenty of smiles. Many thanks to all concerned.

My brother has only been living in your care a short while he is so happy, the staff and management are so friendly, kind and willing to help in any way they can, nothing is a problem. When I visit my brother I feel so happy to see him talking to staff and residents, the staff have so much respect for
the residents and treat them as family.

Review from A K (Resident) published on 2 August 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot thank everyone enough for the care, kindness, understanding, encouragement, support and wonderful friendly rapport during my lengthy stay for recuperation in Yohden Hall. Although invited, I did not take part in any of the recreational activities.
My only slightly negative comment would be
about the electric bed which was not suited to my height. I frequently slid down the bed, resting in the hollow in the centre of the bed mattress, resulting in my feet pressing against the foot panel. I have not commented on the value for money as all has been funded by the NHS and social services.

The staff at Yohden Hall were excellent in all manner of taking care of my brother and also looking after us on our visits. They all work together as a team and excel in the duties of care towards all their patients. My brother really enjoyed being in Yohden Hall and made many friends with a lot of
the staff members and other residents as well. We highly recommend this care home for its outstanding care given by the staff to all patients and visitors. A big thank you.

The home overall is a pleasant friendly place to visit. Entertainment staff try to meet the needs of the clients. My gran has a lovely room with a view which she often sits and watched the comings and goings of the home. Staff are always welcoming and friendly when visiting, The only thing I would say
is there seems to be a lack of staff in a lot of different places which I think is so sad as clients would benefit from constant familiar faces to gain a rapport and trust.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.535)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.535) out of 10 for Yohden Hall Care Complex 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.691 for Yohden Hall Care Complex is calculated as follows: ( (105 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 152 Ratings = 4.691
  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 4.844 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Yohden Hall Care Complex is based on 13 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 77 registered maximum number of service users is 15.4. 13 Positive Reviews ÷ 15.4 = 0.844
  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.
