I would like to thank all the staff at Arlington Manor for the care given to my Sister during her stay with you. You should all be very proud of the level of care you provide within your establishment. Not only do you care for your residents you also care for their families in times of need. I would
highly recommend Arlington Manor to anyone who needs exceptional care for their loved ones. Once again thank you to all at Arlington.

Reply from Martin Dickson, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Arlington Manor

Thank you so much for your generous words. Your sister and her family really built up a lovely relationship with the team here in a short space of time, so it was a pleasure to be there for you all. Best wishes for the future.

My sister had the best care here and the staff went above and beyond. In my sisters final days, the staff not only cared for her with compassion but also could not have been more supportive and caring with us as a family. Thank you really isn't enough for Arlington Manor and all the staff.

Reply from Martin Dickson, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Arlington Manor

That is so kind of you to say. It was an absolute pleasure to look after your sister and have the whole family here with us. We just wish it could have been for a longer period, but we will treasure the time we had.

Arlington Manor is simply an amazing place. Superb in every way.
Amazing management, staff, surroundings you name it this place delivers first-class service throughout.
Although my mother-in-law was not able to enjoy longer with these amazing people, the time she (and our family) had in their care
made the hardest journey the easiest.
They are all simple amazingly special people.
Be very proud of what an amazing team and the amazing care and support you provide Arlington Manor.
We simply couldn’t have got through this without you all.
Thank you all, you will always hold a special place in our hearts.

If like me this is your first time looking for a care home for a loved one, you really need to look no further than Arlington.
The whole team are truly amazing and provide the most exquisite care for their residents and their families.
My mum's care was simply amazing from the moment we made contact
with Arlington.
As soon as I walked in with my mum (we were both worse for wear after a bad experience) this amazing team pieced us back together and made the toughest journey, we as a family have ever been on, so much easier.
It feels like home because it is home for everyone involved.
The care, support and devotion of the whole team are what makes this place amazing.
I’ve renamed them all as “Arlington Angels” as they simply are.
I miss you all dearly and will be eternally grateful to you all for caring for my mum to the highest standard anyone could ask for.

Reply from Martin Dickson, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Arlington Manor

Thank you so much for those incredible words. I have passed on all of your kindness to the team here. We feel that your mum and all your family were and remain part of Arlington, even if she wasn't able to stay here as long as we hoped.

Would recommend this care home to anybody looking to place their loved one. I couldn’t fault the care they gave to my sister and family during her stay, not only did they give excellent care to my sister they also care about the relatives, everybody who works there is very professional and caring, this
made such a difference. Everyone from cleaners to managers all had time to talk to you. I would like to thank them all for the care they gave to my sister and family during her time there, I can’t fault them in any way thank you all.

Reply from Martin Dickson, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Arlington Manor

Thank you so much for your very kind review and also for letting us look after your sister. She was an absolute delight with the whole team and other residents. She had such a beautiful manner and wicked sense of humour so kept us all on our toes, in the best way.
Best wishes to all the family.

My 84-year-old mother went into Arlington Manor for respite and we found that the home was immaculate and the staff were fantastic. The service and support for her was second to none and she really enjoyed her stay. We will definitely be using Arlington Manor again.

Reply from Martin Dickson, Customer Relationship Manager at Hallmark Arlington Manor

Hi John. Thank you for the wonderful review and so pleased to hear that your mother enjoyed her stay. She was a pleasure to have here at Arlington and we would be extremely happy if she wanted to come back to us here. Best wishes to you and your family.

This is Mum’s 2nd visit for respite care. The staff are very caring and helpful and very happy to help. Mum was able to have the same room as she had on her first visit which she liked and a very nice en-suite. She enjoyed socialising with the other residents and the activities that were arranged.

Reply from Julie Prevett, General Manager at Hallmark Arlington Manor

It was wonderful to have your mum stay with us for a second time. Our team were very pleased to see her again as she always brings a smile and lively conversation to our community. She would be very welcome to come and stay with us in the future and if possible, we will ensure she has the same room as her previous stays. Thank you for your kind words.

My mother entered Arlington Manor in July 2020, initially for respite. However, it quickly became apparent that this is a long-term stay. Mum found it extremely difficult at first and became very anxious and disoriented. It was at the height of the pandemic and we were unable to visit and reassure her.
She is now settled, happy, and enjoying life and knows she is in the best place. This is entirely due to the kindness and dedication of everyone at Arlington. As a family, we know she is being well cared for and would not wish her to be anywhere else. She is treated with the utmost respect and her sense of humour has returned. We have been able to visit throughout these awful times and now look forward to happier days when we can take her out for short trips. Thank you to all at Arlington during these unprecedented times. Things can't have been easy, but you are greatly appreciated by us.

As the family have been unable to travel to see our aunt over the last year, the excellent communication by so many members of staff throughout has been reassuring. Assistance with regular Skype calls has kept us able to see and hear how well our aunt is. Staff phone us immediately with information
about any change in health, discuss and advise about any helpful moves and keep us constantly informed. The social activities are so thoughtfully planned and arranged and we all feel we are included despite the distance. Looking forward to being able to visit again soon. Thanks are to so many of the team for the superb care, both of her mental and physical well being and for providing the kind of love and social fun the family can't provide at the moment.

Our Mother, who is now in her 90s, arrived at Arlington Manor early in 2019. She had a stroke in Autumn 2019, losing her speech. She was quite distressed over the next few months. Amazingly she has settled again during lockdown and is now calm and happy. The staff are amazing. I cannot thank them enough.
I want to add a note about the high standard of Infection Prevention and Control practices, as I know there is a concern nationally about this issue. I used to work as a consultant microbiologist in South East London so I am able to recognise the dedication of Arlington Manor care home in this arena. The staff are totally committed to the prevention of all infections, including the coronavirus. I hope this is helpful and reassuring to all.

Arlington Manor provided excellent care for my father while recuperating from a hospital stay. Their staff are attentive and well qualified, the home is well equipped and food is excellent (so he said)!

I would like to compliment the team on their care for my friend during this difficult period of the coronavirus pandemic. At our first meeting in person in the visiting suite, I thought he looked very well and appeared very happy with life.

Arlington Manor have gone above and beyond in order to facilitate communication with my dad during this very difficult period. They enable my dad to FaceTime regularly and make sure he is comfortable with the technology. They send regular newsletters and list of activities taking place at the home.
The care staff at all times are positive and lively and genuinely care for the residents.

A very well managed care home. Care staff are well trained and have interesting backgrounds and are sociable. The entertainment staff are very inventive and prepare a good programme. The meals are well presented and very tasty. The garden is attractive and good to sit in even on the hottest days. I
thoroughly enjoyed my time in Arlington Manor.

I can't describe how grateful I am to everyone at Arlington Manor. The care my mother has received has been superb, thoughtful and outstanding in every way. I can't believe how quickly she settled in. The carers are all wonderful and there are so many interesting activities. I recommend it wholeheartedly
and I cannot imagine a better care home.

Arlington Manor has been a revelation - super-considerate staff, bright, open, attractive rooms and a calm, friendly and welcoming atmosphere at all times. My mother-in-law's bedroom is a lovely refuge for her and the group activities and happy mealtimes give her every chance to join in when she wants
to. Adapting to life in a care home is never easy but I cannot believe there is anywhere that would have done more than Arlington Manor.
By far the best we have seen!

My dad has moderate dementia caused by Alzheimer's and had to move into residential care after my mum passed away. The staff are attentive and caring, my dad has told me many times how lovely they are. They are willing to go the extra mile, not just for the residents but their families too. There is
a daily schedule of a wide range of activities on offer, which is really important to my dad who is still quite young compared to most residents, is active and likes to keep busy. The environment is always clean and smells fresh and there are plenty of spaces to go and sit and have a chat or have a wander. Dad and I enjoy going down to the cafe to have a cup of tea together. The food is very good, my only (very minor) complaint is that it could be served hotter, but it doesn't affect the taste and certainly doesn't put me off joining him for a meal. Best of all, I have complete peace of mind knowing that he is being really well looked after and that he is happy.

I have only visited Arlington Manor once to visit my cousin who has been there for 3 weeks. From the moment we arrived we were most impressed. My cousin seems to have settled remarkably well (unexpectedly) and seemed like a changed woman! The staff could not have been more helpful.

Arlington Manor has a very nice ambience. The staff are all very friendly but my understanding is that requests from my mother are sometimes slow to be acted upon. The room is very well appointed but for the price, it would have been good to have a recliner/tip armchair as standard. The food is very
good and I notice other things can be requested. The cafe is an excellent idea.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.753)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.753) out of 10 for Hallmark Arlington Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.753 for Hallmark Arlington Manor is calculated as follows: ( (261 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 304 Ratings = 4.753

  • 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 Hallmark Arlington Manor is based on 25 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 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 25 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.
