My mum has really settled into Ventress Hall. She loves her room and has all her personal belongings and things from 'home' all around her.
Her room is always spotless and lovely and warm.
The staff are lovely and really seem to care for my mum. Not just the nursing staff but reception, cleaners,
deputies and managers too.
I feel at ease that my mum is being properly looked after by staff that really do care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum recently went into Ventress Hall for respite care and I cannot praise and thank the staff enough for their kindness and support. She’s been made to feel it is home from home and she thinks the staff are wonderful and the food is lovely.
Mum recently celebrated her 102nd birthday and was made to
feel like a queen for the day. The lounge area was beautifully decorated with banners and balloons and the kitchen staff provided a surprise buffet tea party for family and friends.
I’m impressed at the various activities that have taken place, quizzes, pumpkin making, bonfire night games, Holy communion services, pantomime etc. and plenty more is planned leading up to Christmas. Mum loves to socialise and has been encouraged to take part in all activities including playing the piano; she has always loved entertaining others.
I visit my mum every day and I’ve always been made to feel welcome and listened to, I definitely wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ventress Hall to anyone.

My auntie is in this home although we have tried to have her moved whilst she was a ward of court. We now feel that this would be impossible as she has dementia. She is deaf and despite the fact that I have asked for a hearing review at the local hospital for her hearing aids to be replaced - this has
not happened so she continues not to have any hearing aids. They tell me she is happy there and think she is but who knows with dementia?

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on your and your aunt’s experience at Ventress Hall. Our dedicated care and lifestyle teams work hard to ensure residents living with dementia lead meaningful lifestyles and are provided with the best of care, including your aunt. Whilst we are unable to comment on your experience of the hospital hearing care centre, as this is a separate service to the home, please get in contact if there is anything else we can support you with.

Mum has been in Ventress Hall for almost a year now and she loves it. She moved in with her cat and they're both very happy. Mum has a room that opens onto one of the courtyards, and the staff have been working hard with the residents to build, paint, and plant up some gorgeous planters to make the
area really pretty. Mum chooses to spend time in her own room quite often, but the team work really hard to provide loads of different activities for the residents. The only negative is that as it is such a beautiful old building, the mobile signal is a bit hit-and-miss.
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Reviews Team at Ventress Hall

We are delighted to hear that your mother is enjoying her room with her beloved pet. At Ventress Hall, we work hard to ensure residents feel settled, with all the creature comforts of home, to make their transition into the home as smooth as possible. It’s also lovely to hear that our dedicated team have worked so closely with your mother to add decoration to her beautiful courtyard patio. Whilst we aren’t able to influence the mobile reception residents or visitors may experience on their own phones, residents are always welcome, and encouraged, to use the home’s phone to contact loved ones should this issue arise.

My father settled well into Ventress Hall recognising some of his own declining capabilities which had crept up alongside his very old age. Initially, he thought the residential care was like being in a hotel, but now he calls it home.
Staff in all areas have been both friendly and supportive when
responding to his various needs.

Ventress Hall is a wonderful, caring nursing home.
My uncle was admitted to the nursing home wing for palliative care on 10 March 2023. In his time in the home, his care by both registered nurses and the wider team was outstanding. I could not fault any part of his care plan. Sadly, he passed away
but the team ensured that he was pain-free and able to contact me so that I could pass on my final wishes of love.
The team were incredibly respectful and understanding of his needs.
Highly recommend this home.
Thank you all so much for his care.

My mother was cared for in the nursing part of the home for the last few weeks of her life. The care she received from the nursing staff, two in particular, was excellent. All members of staff we encountered were friendly, approachable and caring. It was a stressful time for us as a family and knowing
that our mother was being looked after so well was a great comfort and help. Thank you, to everyone at Ventress Hall.

My 88-year-old mother recently spent over five weeks in Ventress for rehabilitation. Throughout her time in the home, she received exceptional care from all the staff. The staff could not have done anything more for my mum, they were very attentive, kind, professional and cheerful, they used her name,
cheered her up and attended to all her needs promptly. The staff demonstrated infinite patience and went the extra mile to make mum's stay as comfortable as possible. The attention to detail was first class and the staff were dedicated to organising my mum's complex medication needs with 100% accuracy, as a sufferer of Parkinson's her medical requirements are very frequent and time important, the staff provided mum's medicines on time for all her ailments. The meals mum received were varied, good quality, and age-appropriate, mum also enjoyed the mid-afternoon snacks, all food and beverages offered were fresh and well presented. The room in Ventress was great. A huge thank you to all staff.

My mother-in-law has been in Ventress Hall since December 2020 and they have absolutely gone out of their way to make her welcome, comfortable and happy despite everything that’s gone on with the pandemic. Throughout the lockdowns, we were encouraged to have pod visits and now we are able to go in to
the home we are always met with friendly staff even if they are short staffed and worn out. My mother-in-law sings their praises every day and wouldn’t have a bad word said against any of the staff. They are all amazing and I don’t think they get enough praise.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My dad was admitted to the nursing floor at Ventress Hall for end of life care. His room was small with tired-looking furniture, the window only opened a few inches due to safety reasons, making the room stuffy due to direct sunlight. On Dad's first day his dressing gown went missing and was never found,
it was a new dressing gown.
My dad wasn't happy here, he suffered with end stage COPD and was told by one of the health care workers that he should put his hand over his mouth when he coughed! My dad couldn't even move out of bed due to being so ill, this comment was inappropriate.
The receptionist was inconsiderate when we visited, she said we couldn't go in as we weren't booked in, even though we didn't need to book in for visits. My only positive comment is that the nurse caring for Dad was absolutely brilliant. He took the time to explain Dad's condition and gave advice regarding this.
We moved Dad to another care home, he was absolutely delighted!
Reply from Samantha Debenham, Personal Assistant at Ventress Hall

Thank you for taking time to review Ventress Hall. We are delighted to hear such positive feedback about the nurse who cared for your dad. The issues mentioned in your review are concerning. If they could have been raised with our home manager at the time, we would have resolved them. As you can imagine, we have a very busy laundry but you would have been able to visit to locate the dressing gown, or we could have replaced it. We sincerely apologise for the way you feel you were treated. You were right that, in your circumstances, you didn’t need to book a visit. The nursing team would normally make reception aware of family visits under exceptional circumstances, as per Care UK’s approach to the pandemic.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.500)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.500) out of 10 for Ventress Hall is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 45 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.500 for Ventress Hall is calculated as follows: ( (324 Excellents x 5) + (148 Goods x 4) + (39 Satisfactorys x 3) + (9 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 522 Ratings = 4.5
  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 Ventress Hall is based on 42 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 106 registered maximum number of service users is 21.2, which has been reached with 42 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I joined Ventress Hall back in the 1990s, progressing from a carer to a senior and then to become the deputy manager. I became Home Manager in November 2019. 


All of my experience enables me to challenge our practices, improve what we do and strengthen our relationships with the local CCG and healthcare team – all for the benefit of our residents.


I love seeing the residents happy, and I enjoy seeing the positive impact of the work we do. We often have residents join us for short term respite care as they convalesce after an illness or operation. It’s wonderful to see them recover and return home. 


I’ve worked with many of the team here for many years. I have a profound respect for them and recognise each of their contributions. It’s safe to say that this home has a special place in my heart and I’m looking forward to developing Ventress Hall even further so we can deliver even greater outcomes for residents and their families.
