Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Mum has been resident at Middleton Hall for five years, initially in The Woods apartments and now in Family Living for the past two years. Her experiences in both parts of the retirement village have been wonderful, and the transition from one to the other was facilitated and handled with exceptional
professionalism, care and kindness from all staff involved. Her dementia has progressed quite significantly, but she receives personalised, one on one care, being kept as happy as possible, safe, well fed and as healthy as her condition allows. The staff is, without exception, incredible, each person unique but with a very special blend of kindness, gentleness and competence. Mum could be in no better place than Middleton Hall. I can’t speak highly enough of it.
Reply from Fiona Green, Marketing Manager at Middleton Hall Retirement Village
Thank you for taking the time to give your feedback and for your kind words. They are very much appreciated. Your mum is a very lovely lady.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The staff are extremely friendly, competent and committed to providing high-quality care.
Both my parents moved into Middleton Oaks, a purpose-built family unit providing appropriate support for people suffering from conditions such as dementia, at the beginning of 2018.
Although my mother's behaviour
became very challenging towards the end, the staff always treated her with respect and compassion when caring for her until her death last November.
My father still lives there and it is ideal as there are expansive grounds for walking. He goes out on trips twice weekly and is engaged with other activities.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When faced with difficult decisions regarding the future care of my father, I had a clear idea of what I wanted for him and what he absolutely deserved after all he has done for us: a safe elegant space where he is encouraged to keep well physically and nurtured in his spirit with kind people about
him who see their work as a vocation and a privilege. I feel I have found that at Middleton Hall. From the very first day, he was greeted by name throughout the complex and welcomed into every aspect of his new life. The care staff and managers work as one and spend their time and imagination in developing new ways to engage my father’s intellect and to help him to forge new friendships. We are all encouraged to be part of his new ‘second’ family and we visit whenever we like, although sometimes he can barely fit us in!!. His great-grandchildren are enthusiastically welcomed with toys and a trip to feed the chickens. My father thanks me every day for his new home and that gives me peace.
Reply from Fiona Green, Marketing at Middleton Hall Retirement Village
Thank you Fiona for your kind and thoughtful comments. We love having your father at Middleton Hall and enjoy welcoming the whole family. Thank you again.

My Father is a resident in Middleton Oaks (Catkin House). The care he receives is individualised, caring, supportive and allows him to maintain as much independence and choice as he is able.
The staff are exceptional and I am confident he is receiving the best possible care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were lucky to find Middleton Hall when my 85-year-old mother needed a couple of weeks respite after a spell of hospitalisation. After visiting other care homes in the region I was instantly impressed driving up through the grounds to reception. The facility resembled a country house hotel with its
orangery bistro, restaurant, spa and pool.
My mother checked in to Middleton Hall in a wheelchair with no energy or appetite and walked out two weeks later a different lady. The quality of care she received during her stay was excellent and the attitude of all the staff from management to room cleaners was first class. My mum was initially reluctant to go into respite, but she is already talking about going back later in the year for another "holiday".
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Middleton Hall to anyone looking for quality care for their loved ones.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We hope to welcome your mum again soon for another 'holiday'!

Having recently had a bad experience in a previous care home it was with some trepidation that we placed Mum here. From our initial visit, we were very impressed with the staff's professional but friendly approach. There is a lovely warm atmosphere with a sense of calm. The facilities are second to
none. It was lovely to be able to have a meal with Mum in the orangery, the food was delicious with a varied choice for residents and guests. I felt we had put Mum in a lovely country home for the weekend and felt assured of her safety.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Middleton Hall to anyone, in fact, we've taken brochures for some family friends. Overall, this has been a lovely experience for us all.

We have been so impressed with the high level of care and attention that Mum has received during her time at Middleton Hall. She has benefited enormously from the increased social interaction and really enjoys the film club! Staff are superb; friendly, helpful and supportive. The assisted living area
has a welcoming kitchen/dining room where we can join Mum for a cup of tea after work, much like we would at home.

I was persuaded by my daughter to come to Middleton Hall for some respite care, despite some initial reluctance on my part. However, I can honestly say that I have been overwhelmed by the kindness and friendliness of everyone here. I have been made to feel very welcome and more at than I was expecting.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the excellent food, the only problem being it is too nice!

Three weeks respite care at Middleton Hall was enjoyable. I have been there before it allows my daughter to take holidays. I am always very well cared for and the staff are very kind, helpful and sincere. I treat this as my holiday, the food is varied and very enjoyable. The place is set in beautiful
grounds providing lovely walks and also there are trips out arranged by the staff, all in all, they warrant full marks.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law was quite poorly in 2015 and was when feeling better, installed in the independent living section of Middleton Hall having had experience of respite care in March 2015. From the day she moved in it was apparent immediately that she was in a special place. Anytime she needed help it
was given freely without the need to ask. All of the staff walked down the same path with her until she sadly died in September. Primarily Middleton Hall is a home filled with people who are very caring without exception. I feel Middleton Hall should be the yardstick by which all care homes are measured. Their standards are unbelievably high.

I can't rate the staff at Middleton Hall highly enough as they are always smiling, friendly, patient, caring and supportive, all of which made the move of our friend from her own bungalow into a home much easier than expected.


Middleton Hall is set in beautiful grounds which are immaculately kept,

as is the Hall itself. The facilities are amazing - spa with swimming pool, bistro (the Orangery), library, hairdresser, vision room where films are regularly shown - and there are plenty of planned activities and outings.


We always enjoyed visiting our friend, having lunch with her in the Orangery or accompanying her to one of the special evening meals.


A big thank you to everyone at Middleton Hall and the Grove.

After 3 weeks in a hospital and 2 not well at home it became obvious I could not go on our family holiday to Cornwall.
At very short notice we asked if I could go into Middleton Hall.
In 2 days I was in.
In the week that followed I was shown great kindness.
I have a shake on my hand and preferred
to stay in my room for meals, that was arranged.
The food was excellent, there was a choice the day before, lovely soups and sweets.
The ladies who looked after you were so interesting to talk to and never made you feel uneasy.
I missed the holiday but had another.

A pleasant 9 day stay. The smiling, happy staff helped in every way to fulfil all my requirements. The chefs and all serving staff gave me every satisfaction to cook me 1st class meals appropriate for my inability to chew. Every request was dealt with speedily to my satisfaction.


The room was excellent,

possibly a new mattress would make the bed more comfortable. I would like to have more than one art class a week for my next visit in December.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.865)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.865) 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 4.865 for Middleton Hall Retirement Village is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.865
  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.

Colin

Colin Inglis

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.

Debby

Debby McGinnes

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.
