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 Alicia O (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Finding mum a suitable care home has not been easy in Cardiff. Mum is relatively young and we wanted somewhere where she would engage in everyday activities. Since moving mum here, she has improved far more than we expected. She is engaging well with staff and residents. The home is welcoming and there
is always someone to discuss any concerns with. It's been a big choice for mum giving up her home, however, Regency (Hallmark) has helped us all the way.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care given by staff here is excellent, nothing is too much trouble. My father is very happy here, as all his needs are met. If there are any issues they are dealt with and sorted straight away.
He enjoys the activities that are put on buy staff throughout the week. Staff are so friendly, caring
and helpful. I feel relaxed and happy knowing that my father is getting the best care that is possible.

Review from K B (Relative of Resident) published on 7 March 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have always found The Regency to be like a home from home. My auntie has settled in well and always says what good fun she has. She is still highly interested in current affairs and reads the papers daily; and is always up for any activities that The Regency puts on. At age 93, my aunt feels that
this is the best place for her - she is kept active, feels safe and looked after with dignity and respect.

Review from John F (Son of Resident) published on 5 February 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother was moved at very short notice from hospital to Regency House here in Cardiff in order to be closer to my wife and me. The process of selecting the home was made supremely easy by your customer relationship manager. The subsequent assessment was arranged and carried out with the minimum of
fuss and distress to my mother. On arrival at Regency House mum was offered a spectacular omelette by the catering staff as we had missed lunch, she was very grateful! The consistently excellent care and consideration mum has received from all the staff has been fantastic and is the main reason why she has settled into her new home so well. A very challenging ordeal for mum has been met by kindness and welcome. Thank you.

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.
