My dad was in this care home for 10 months and his care was excellent all the staff are so caring and friendly. No one passes by without saying hello. He had dementia and was difficult at times but was treated with empathy and patience, especially by his carer. He had a lovely room and was well cared
for. My dad sadly passed away this month peacefully and was treated with respect. I cannot recommend this care home highly enough.

My friend finds herself confined to her room, which, to be fair is looked after by the staff.
Her conversation can be quite poor and I know that the staff try hard to talk to her, which is a very good point.
On my weekly visits, I'm always well-treated and have no problems speaking with the staff.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My brother came to Four Hills on the 31st August 2023, after 8 weeks in hospital. He had lost his appetite and his ability to hold a knife and fork and was rather despondent. However, when I visited him two days later he was sitting up, fully dressed, looking very happy and contented and when I asked
staff if he was managing to eat anything, I was told 'everything that's put in front of him'. I couldn't believe it. Needless to say, he has quickly regained weight. As a family, this has made us all extremely relieved to see our brother so settled and content. We are really grateful to all the staff at Four Hills and appreciate everything they do, I find them very friendly, caring and attentive.

Overall, impressed with the service given by every staff member in the care home. My great aunt has been well looked after and taking part of most of the activities that get carried out. The lovely staff also put on an excellent party for my great aunt's 90th where the entertainment and the food was
outstanding! All the staff at the main reception are so welcoming and always have a smile on their faces.

I am extremely impressed by the range of activities offered by the activities workers. My own mother was in care in a different home and the activities were very mundane and uninteresting. I love how Barchester Four Hills Care Home tries to hang an activity on anything that is happening in the wilder
world from International Chocolate Day to the Coronation to the Grand National. Small group activities outside seem perfect for some residents. The idea of having them ice skating blew my mind!

My aunt is a resident and arrived a few months ago. In my few visits, I have seen cheery staff and clean rooms. I do not know as yet the full services provided. My aunt gets confused at times, I think she's settling in ok.
To be honest, I have marked the ratings I know as I do not know all as yet.
I do not know all the facilities as yet. Value for money is not my business as I am only a niece, direct family are dealing with this matter. Activities, I do not know as yet. Keep up the good work.

My friend and I stayed next door to each other and brought our children up together and it is sad that she can no longer stay in her own house. I was glad to see she was happy and well cared for. Only being here for 1 hour and 15 minutes it was a very welcoming environment. All staff spoke to us and
included my friend in introductions. Her room was spotless and there was no odour on the premises. She likes the food and has even been to a French lesson.

My mum was placed in Four Hills Care Home for palliative care until she passed away, she was angry at being unwell with a significant personality change. The staff group provided a very high level of care, were non-judgemental when she was sad to cooperate and understood that I needed their support
too. The building is purpose-built, with spacious corridors and several sitting rooms, but in our situation, it was the quality of care that I considered the most important.

Mum was transferred to the home from the hospital. From day 1 she was treated with respect and love. She laughed every day with the staff even when she found it hard to talk at the end. Everyone in the home looked after her as if she was their mother/grandmother. Thank you so much. I also felt welcome

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.575)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.575) out of 10 for Barchester Four Hills Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.575 for Barchester Four Hills Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (239 Excellents x 5) + (90 Goods x 4) + (25 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 358 Ratings = 4.575

  • b) 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 Barchester Four Hills Care Home is based on 30 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 120 registered maximum number of service users is 24, which has been reached with 30 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
