Nestled in the heart of the local community in Ely, Hallmark Regency House is a place residents can live each day to the fullest, providing award-winning residential, nursing and respite care. Residents can also rest assured that all the essentials are covered with Hallmark All-Inclusive.

Moving into a care home can be daunting, but the team’s bighearted approach puts residents and their loved ones at the heart of all they do. As they would have in their own home, loved ones are welcome to pop-by day or night. This welcome is extended to four-legged companions as Regency House will do all they can to move them in with residents.

With a thoughtfully designed layout, residents can enjoy a variety of rooms. A social café is a great place to catch up with friends over a cuppa, and the cosy cinema means keeping up with your favourite programmes is a breeze. The budding green spaces where residents can pot, or potter are the perfect places to discover new passions or simply enjoy the great outdoors. At Regency House, residents live life, their way.

Dad settled in well after leaving hospital. Staff are friendly and helpful. Facilities are good and every week there is a schedule of activities available. Good to know there is a nurse's station on every floor.

Following a difficult settling-in period for my mother, I cannot be more grateful for the extra care, time and effort that all the staff at Regency House have put in. During what can sometimes be trying circumstances I have found everyone to be helpful, cheerful and positive in their dealings with my
mother.

My mum has been a resident now for just over a month. In that time, my mother is now a different person. She is the happiest she has been for many years. The standard of care is excellent, the staff are great. They are available at all times to assist Mum if needed. They are so approachable and friendly
and their care is first-class. I know my mum is in the best hands possible. She loves all the activities, food (which is fantastic) and best of all, the coffee shop area. Thanks to Regency House Care Home for everything.

This is my personal view, as I am one of a number of siblings, but I am delighted with the standard of care offered at Regency House Care Home. The staff are amazing, supportive and helpful, they really care about my parents. I love the set-up at Regency House, the cafe atmosphere downstairs and the

Thank you to all the staff and carers who helped us give my mother-in-law a wonderful ninetieth birthday party on Sunday July 2nd 2023. The staff, chefs and carers worked so hard to make it a successful celebration. We want to make a particular mention and thank you to the chef and catering staff, as
the buffet was excellent. Thank you, also, to the staff who decorated the room with banners and balloons. It was very special and really appreciated. My mother-in-law was so happy and really enjoyed her party. She couldn’t believe that it was all for her. We are very grateful for everyone at the home who always look after her so well. She is safe, happy and content under your care. We always feel welcome when we visit and we are kept informed on her care and wellbeing.

From the very first interaction with the home it's been nothing but a pleasure. From management to the cleaners, every staff member has been amazing.
My mother, including ourselves, were very unsure and apprehensive about homes in general but Regency House Care Home has put all those myths to bed,
and my mother is very happy here.
She is so well looked after and nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you for giving us peace of mind.

My aunt has been a resident in this facility for just over a year and since being here, she has been treated with care and dignity at all times. The activity programme is excellent and she has changed from being depressed and tearful, to happy and positive. I am so grateful to all the staff for bringing
about this change in her. I look forward to my visits every Wednesday, as we have such a lovely time. Thank you to all at Regency House Care Home

Mum has been a resident of Regency House Care Home for approximately 6 months now. From the outset, the team have worked diligently to provide a warm and caring environment for her.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.948)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.948) out of 10 for Hallmark Regency House 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 27 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 4.948 for Hallmark Regency House is calculated as follows: ( (307 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 324 Ratings = 4.948
  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 Hallmark Regency House is based on 27 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 27 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.
