Review from Debbie S (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 March 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was a resident in Middleton Oaks from November 2022 until very recently. The unique environment based on a family living model, of this amazing residence, meant that my father absolutely thrived during his time here. We had wonderful walks around the extensive grounds, he was able to continue
his hobby of swimming due to the spa facilities available and he took part in day trips out with the other residents, which he really enjoyed. His quality of life was enhanced by the enormous amount of care, attention and friendship from the excellent, well-trained staff and managers; he truly felt welcomed as a part of the Oaks family group. As an Alzheimer's sufferer, the small number of residents in his house was extremely beneficial; he was able to form good friendships with the residents and the fact that the same staff were based in each house meant that they became familiar to him, despite his Alzheimers. I cannot recommend Middleton Oaks, part of Middleton Hall, highly enough.

Thank you for taking the time to write this review and for your kind and very positive words about the care your dad received and also of the team at Middleton Oaks. We believe that the smaller style setting has real benefits for those living with different forms of dementia, and it is always good to have this recognised and acknowledged by family members. I will pass on your comments to the care teams and share them with the senior management team.

The fact that Middleton Hall Retirement Village is employee-owned, makes it unique and is reflected in the way the care home is run and the quality of care given to residents. I have never doubted that my mum is in good hands, and I know that, despite it being a challenge sometimes, she is treated
with care and respect.

I could not rate Middleton Oaks more highly. Words such as outstanding, impeccable, professional and superb barely do justice to this facility, truly a ‘home’, that cared for my husband, and by extension his family, at a time of his greatest need. Combining professional knowledge with human warmth,
the carers were empathetic, proactive and knowledgeable. Anticipating my husband’s every need, they provided exemplary care based on a deep understanding of both his health and personal needs. When such a level of professionalism is situated in a beautiful building, surrounded by peaceful and extensive grounds, with facilities that would do justice to a first-class hotel, the combination is truly remarkable. I recommend Middleton Hall wholeheartedly and without reservation. Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to complete this review and sharing such warm and personal comments about the team who cared for your husband at Middleton Oaks. I know it is a big decision when a family member requires 24-hour residential care and I am pleased that you found the teams involved, knowledgeable, professional and most of all, very caring in providing individualised care for your husband. We are all proud of the environment and facilities we have at Middleton Hall, and it is very kind of you to recognise these as well as the care provided. I will pass on your comments to the different teams, as well as share them with the senior management team.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was in care for the final 11 months of his life. There are no words to express my gratitude to everyone at Middleton Hall. Every single thing was outstanding. If there were 100 stars on the review I would give it 100 stars. I will not be able to say thank you enough times to every member of
staff who treated my father with kindness and dignity. The management was so professional. The room and the facilities were first-class. The food was outstanding. But I’ll keep coming back to the staff and tell anyone who is reading this that the staff are the most amazing people. I visited regularly and each time I left I knew that my father was safe. Choosing Middleton Hall was the best decision we made. We had looked at a number of homes but the beauty of Middleton Hall made it our number one choice. It has wonderful walks around the grounds. There are regular activities for every person there. The gym and the people who worked with my dad were fantastic. Thank you Middleton Hall.

Middleton Hall Retirement Village is set in a wonderful location in acres of immaculately maintained grounds.
I have personally been very grateful for the grounds and maintained paths as I have recently been pushing my brother out and about whilst the weather has been so pleasant.
We visit the chickens
and ducks housed in a lovely open fenced area and walk past other areas of the village chatting to staff and residents on the way.
The staff are all amazing, truly dedicated and nothing is ever too much bother.
As a family, we highly recommend this beautiful retirement village which caters for independent residents through to highly dependent residents.
The home even has a unique unit caring for those with dementia in such a special way.
We can highly recommend Middleton Hall Retirement Village which does have lots of activities available for those able to partake.
A big thank you from our family for the wonderful care my brother has received and is still receiving.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother visited Middleton Grove independent living apartments for a short stay to help her decide whether she would like to move there permanently. She loved it so much, she decided she didn't want to return home and is now permanently installed in a beautiful apartment with all her own furniture
and belongings around her. The concept of independent living with care support on hand at all times is quite unique in this part of the UK and enables the very elderly to live life to the full. We have been truly delighted with the quality of the accommodation and the beautiful grounds as well as the quality of the food and cannot rate highly enough the way staff support and treat the residents with great respect and care. Mam is so very happy - everything she needs is attended to with a smile and most of all she has companionship and the support she needs to enjoy her final years. We cannot fault anything - with the added reassurance of proactive help at hand at all times.

I stayed in the Grove for a one-week stay to try before deciding if I wanted to buy.

As you turn into the driveway, you can be forgiven for thinking that you are entering a National Trust property. The Middleton Hall acorn logo is very like that of the National Trust and the beautiful gardens are certainly worthy of National Trust status. On fair weather days, many residents of Middleton
Hall are out walking the pretty pathways, visiting the fountained pond with its ornamental carp, checking out the allotments, or else feeding the very happy hens. Middleton Hall is an exceptional place. It is a well-run unit, an employee-owned business. The level of care is reflected in this joint possession. My mother-in-law, who moved into Middleton Hall Oaks last year, a section classed as assisted living, constantly observes that “this is such a nice place to be”. She is treated with respect and camaraderie. She has a wealth of things to do, is taken out on trips (recently re-introduced) she can take her strong, sweet coffee in to the airy Orangery at Middleton Hall Grove. We reckon that it’s a good as it gets when you are just 93.

My mother spent the final 20 months of her life at Middleton Hall in both residential and palliative care. At all times she was safe, treated with dignity and care. The advent of the pandemic could have been very stressful if she had not been so well looked after, visitor pods were introduced very quickly
so that family members could continue to visit. Thank you to everyone who lives and works at Middleton Hall.

Middleton Hall is a special place. Our family is fortunate that it was my mother's home for the last 5 years of her life as her dementia progressed, until her death in May this year. Through this whole period, despite the ups and downs of the dementia journey, she received the most wonderful support
and care from everyone at Middleton Hall. This came mostly from the outstanding staff in Family Living / Middleton Oaks; but many others made major contributions including reception staff, Orangery staff, gardeners, the staff of other services and the residents. Together they all make Middleton Hall a real community where there is mutual respect, support and a good deal of happiness. The management were ambitious and innovative both in terms of developing their care for my mother as an individual, but also for residents with dementia in general e.g. building the Middleton Oaks facility. Middleton Hall deserves all the recognition it receives if only all care homes were like this.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Middleton Hall Retirement Village 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.879 for Middleton Hall Retirement Village is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (28 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.879
  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 Middleton Hall Retirement Village is based on 25 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 25 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.

Job Title: Care Director Joined: 2021

I was honoured and excited to be join the team at Middleton Hall Retirement Village as their Care Director on March 1st 2021. With this role, comes the opportunity to shape, develop and influence how Middleton Hall’s care services move forward and fully believe in the vision and values that have been established.


One of the exciting things is that this is a completely new role at Middleton Hall and I am planning to use my knowledge and experience to add value to the important services that we provide to our residents and families as well as our care teams.


Having initially qualified as a Registered Nurse, I have spent all my career predominantly in the private healthcare sector working with some local smaller companies, as well as larger national care providers. During this time, I have developed my managerial and leadership skills working in different roles within the sector, from Care Home Manager, Regional Director and Operations Director, before joining Middleton Hall.


As Care Director at Middleton Hall, I am responsible for providing clinical and some operational leadership and with the support of the Co-owner team, am focused on Middleton Hall being established as a provider of high-quality care and wellbeing and developing a motivated and engaged care services team.


In my spare time, I enjoy watching all types of sports, particularly rugby and trying to play a bit of golf.

Job Title: Head of Care and Quality - Registered Manager Joined: 2000

Debby qualified as a nurse in 1984 and spent the early part of her career working for the NHS (older people, accident and emergency and surgical). Debby then moved into the private sector and worked in a private hospital in Grimsby, working on surgical wards and managing occupational health, whilst also working part-time as a tutor at the local college. Training has always remained an important part of her role now.


Throughout her career, Debby always admired older people because of their life stories that make that person unique. A passion she still holds today.


Debby is interested in holistic medicine and qualified in Reiki as well as Indian Head & Swedish Body Massage. Whilst at Middleton Hall, she achieved a first-class honours degree in dementia studies.


She built on this with further dementia training by becoming a Positive Approach to Care (PAC) trainer with Teepa Snow.


Debby enjoys the variety of her role - every day at Middleton Hall Retirement Village is different. Teamwork is essential as everyone has a role to play in making a difference to the lives of older people and supporting them to live their best lives


What makes working at Middleton Hall worthwhile? When you see a special moment between a member of staff and a resident when they really connect.
