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.

Review from Margaret M (Resident) published on 8 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I've been a resident of Regency Care Home for 2 years now. I'm more than pleased with the care I receive. It's always lovely to wake up in my lovely room. I'm always treated with love and respect with staff. (I look on as my second family). As residents here we are also able to get involved with activities
we have each day, therapy works wonders I do find that I've gained.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident for approx 5 years and, during the anxious period of transition from hospital, the family visited in excess of thirty care facilities. We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Hallmark (Regency) as the facility ticks all the boxes, provides peace of mind that our mother
is well cared for in the available budget.

On arrival I am met and greeted with a smile, visiting my brother and stayed an hour or two. Although my brother has only been here for a short period he has settled well and the food he is given is far better than what he was having. Very pleased at this moment in time.

After a number of months in bed, my relative improved such that she is up and about and being included in the daily routine once more.
The staff have manned her superbly throughout and continue to manage her sometimes difficult manner to ensure she lives as good a life as possible.
Their manner with
her is good as they deal with her needs. She is encouraged to attend activities as appropriate.
She is treated with respect at all times.
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visit approx 3 to 4 times a week. There is always a pleasant atmosphere and you are always made to feel welcome. (Not intruding) I especially appreciate the coffee shop that provides a comfortable area to have a drink and look at the newspaper. (Conversation is very limited with my mum and has been
for a while). It also gives you the opportunity to speak to other residents and families. Mum used to really enjoy activities and will join when able.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
All the staff gave such a warm welcome to my friend when she arrived at the Regency in March of this year. The room is lovely and more than adequate for her needs. There's plenty of activities to attend to during the day and to get involved in. The food is excellent and with plenty of choice. All the
residents are friendly and my friend was soon settling into her new home. There are always staff on hand if you need to speak to someone. Lots of activities included for family and friends to attend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Regency House Care Home for 18 months and we cannot speak highly enough of the care she has received there. She is confined to bed and so needs lots of attention, which she gets at all times. The staff care and nursing are excellent and we especially appreciate the way
a G.P is called quickly if there is any problem. The room is lovely and clean and the food is excellent. Mum is very happy there and we have peace of mind knowing she is well cared for.

My brother has been a resident at this care home for 3 and a half years following a massive stroke. His wife and I have found the staff very caring and helpful, also the domestic and office staff are to be commended.


There is the occasional hitch now and then but nothing major.


All in all, (the

family) are very satisfied with this care home.

I find Regency is a very caring place for my mother to spend her days, with the knowledge that she is in safe hands. The carers and the full team are most reliable, friendly and open. I feel on arrival at each visit, that you walk into a home of friends and family - I would not change anything.

My mother was a resident here but unfortunately passed away. As I had already made friends with a number of the residents I come in to see them once a week to have a chat and a coffee. The team is always very friendly and the coffee shop is amazing.

I have found the staff are extremely helpful. I am kept informed on my families health and welfare. The home is kept remarkably clean and maintained. My family member enjoys the food and always says that there is plenty of choice. I have never had any reason to question anything and I feel that the
staff are always willing to take time to answer any questions that I might need to have answered. There activities are amazing and there's always plenty of things for my family member to do.

The home offers a safe and caring environment which offers the opportunity for regular activities from craft work through to gardening. The layout of the home provides the easy access to all areas including the garden area which provides peace of mind for family and friends knowing that mum can access
areas safely. Food is excellent and there has never been any issues in any friend or family visiting at any time.

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.
