I visited for the summer fare back in June. It was a lovely day and the staff were very helpful. The residents and visitors had a great time and the sun was shining.
I was also lucky enough to have a show round the home, which looked spotlessly clean.

Hallhouse is an excellent facility. Staff are pleasant and friendly. I have visited Hallhouse twice over the past few months in relation to work that I am doing for No-One Dies Alone Ayrshire (Charity). The first visit was to attend a coffee morning hosted by the staff at Hallhouse to help us raise
awareness of NODA and to assist with fundraising for our charity. I visited again this week to discuss the possibility of NODA providing support to residents within Hallhouse. The staff were very informative, helpful and supportive and we are looking forward to working closely with Hallhouse in the coming months.

Review from I P (Nephew of Resident) published on 30 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Aunt has been a resident of Hallhouse Care Home for just over 7 years, where she has received very good care. In mid-April, she celebrated her 100th birthday (nobody could have anticipated this when she first became a resident with her health as it then was). With family and friends and a Deputy
Lord Lieutenant and a Provost, a marvellous party was held at Hallhouse. The staff of Hallhouse helped immensely with the preparations and assistance in the day. It was appropriate testimony to them. As my Aunt's next of kin, I am extremely grateful for the care and love which my Aunt receives, as my visits can only be every 6 or 8 weeks as I live in Surrey.
Reply from Alison Geddes, Marketing at Hallhouse Care HomeMany thanks for your positive comments about our home, it is wonderful to hear how pleased you are with the care your Aunt has received here at Hallhouse over the last 7 years. We are delighted that you all enjoyed the party. Thanks again for your review, best wishes.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.703)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.703) out of 10 for Hallhouse Care Home 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 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 13 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 4.878 for Hallhouse Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 156 Ratings = 4.878
  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 4.825 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hallhouse Care Home is based on 13 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.825
    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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 13 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.
