Review from Claire B (Daughter of Resident) published on 24 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I would like to take the opportunity to give a big thank you to Quarry Hall Care Home, who cared for my mum Glenys for the last 15-months of her life. The staff at the care home are the most accommodating people I have met. My mum was given the kindest care whilst staying there and was always treated
with respect and dignity. The staff at Quarry Hall are like one big family unit who always treat relatives with politeness and reassurance, especially during the lockdown when we were unable to visit my mum. You could ring the home at any time if you had any concerns and were always reassured by the friendly professional staff. I cannot thank the staff enough for the kindness they showed both myself and my mum during her last few days. I will always be grateful for this, especially during such awful circumstances and with the home being on lockdown. I will always speak highly of Quarry Hall and would always recommend it.
Many thanks - from the family.

I would just like to say how much I am grateful for the staff at Quarry Hall, they have gone up and beyond with all the covid-19 and trying to keep families connected. They video call us once a week, which is lovely to see if we can't be there in person. At least we can see her through technology, staff
don't get enough recognition for all the hard work that they do.

Review from Anthony W (Son of Resident) published on 5 May 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
My Dad was only with the home for two weeks and deteriorated fast.


He was confused and had a cough, I believed COVID, but the home ignored me, he was not put into quarantine and has most likely infected many others.


He became difficult to manage, which was totally different from his time in the

previous location, this has now been confirmed as a symptom of the COVID affecting his Dementia.


The home has now refused to 'take him back' even though he has returned to 'normal' management according to the hospital.


Communication has been extremely poor and the risk of COVID spreading was ignored.


Due to COVID home was on lockdown and as such 'satisfactory' means I have no idea.

Reply from Diane Kerwin, Hospital Liaison Team at Quarry Hall Care Home

Unfortunately, the information provided was not an accurate account of behaviours and presentation on admission. We have a duty to consider the needs of all residents residing in our home to ensure their wellbeing and safety is maintained. Our local General Practice is affording us extraordinary support which includes virtual visits, physical visits or both, daily or as required. Our team is working in unprecedented circumstances and they are altruistic in their approach to caring for our residents.

Ther home provides a safe, clean and welcoming environment for mum. It is nicely decorated and her room is lovely, having her own en-suite bathroom is great. I feel that I can rest assured that she has 24-hour care as well as chiropodist, doctor and hairdresser on call. The Forest View unit and its
staff have become like family to her.

My sister is very happy in Quarry Hall, she is well looked after and always greets all the staff with a smile, which shows how content and happy she is. She likes to walk around but also loves doing activities and just loves "sing along". She loved her visit to Techniquest and we just love the photographs,
which clearly show her having a great time.
Thank you all so much.

Since mum has been in Quarry Hall she has improved greatly. She always looks clean and well looked after. We have seen more smiles and much more laughter recently. The staff are always welcoming and they always have time for a chat which I know Dad appreciates (He misses mum at home) The care I have
seen given is second to none in my opinion.

I think perhaps there could be more activities, for the men's interests. Something like table skittles for instance. It seems most activities are aimed at the women's interests. Other than that, I can't fault the home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother entered this home fully aware that she was terminally ill. The staff at this home made the last six months of her life so pleasurable and comfortable that I cannot speak highly enough of them. The dignity, the care and respect she received throughout her stay was second to none.


There are

no real words I can use to express how much they made my mother’s journey easier for her and the family to endure. The personal touch they gave to everything they did for her was above and beyond anything I’ve known.


If you are lucky enough to be honoured with a stay at this home you will know exactly what I mean.


Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.643)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.643) out of 10 for Quarry Hall Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.643 for Quarry Hall Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (163 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 235 Ratings = 4.643
  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 Quarry Hall Care Home is based on 20 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 85 registered maximum number of service users is 17, which has been reached with 20 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.
