During the last 6 months, my experience has been a little varied but on the whole, good. The staff have generally been most helpful, kind and willing to please whenever possible. The folks at the reception area have been great.

My father was happier at Kew House after moving there for the last 10 months of his life than he has been in many years. He asked to return to Kew when he needed nursing care because he liked the food. I wanted him to return because of the cheerful atmosphere, the quality of staff, care and activities,
as well as the respect and dignity given to all residents. My father had a challenging personality but the carers handled it very well, enabling him the independence he wanted, but respectful help when needed. The staff helped to make each day enjoyable for him with the little things that mattered to him, such as putting his TV onto a channel to watch his favourite programmes, a cup of tea made the way he liked and popping in to chat to him. If I asked him about an activity he’d enjoyed he couldn’t tell me what had happened but there was a broad grin on his face as he remembered it. It meant a lot to myself and our family to see him happy and comfortable for the end stage of his life.

Kew house has a great atmosphere and we chose it because it is full of life and warmth.
The residents activities program is extensive, inclusive, imaginative and delivered with real attention to detail, enthusiam and care.
All the staff are professional, positive, friendly, cheerful and approachable.
Together the team make this an exceptional home.
It is well decorated, clean and in some ways seems more like a hotel than a care home.
My relative is content, feels safe, and is well cared for- and says that the food is very good.

My father has just come to the end of two weeks respite at Kew House.
Our experiences with Kew House have been positive right from the beginning I.e. My contact with the Customer Relations Manager to the finish of his stay. The premises are bright and cheerful and well maintained and the care and kindness
of the staff have been excellent. All my father's visitors have said how impressed they have been with what they have seen. I would highly recommend Kew House.

We were delighted with the care that Mum received at Kew House. She was well looked after by the staff and they really made an effort to get her to participate in activities. It is a very happy place and you are always greeted with a smile. There seems to be a very good team spirit amongst all the staff,
this includes the housekeeping team, maintenance team, carers, management and all other staff, which means the home seems to run efficiently.
Residents are treated with dignity and staff always seem to have time to chat to them and take a real interest in their stories. There are some truly remarkable caring people working at Kew House. As a visitor you are always made to feel welcome and at home.

My relative was at Kew House for just under 5 years. She was cared for extremely well by loving and caring staff. Communication by the staff to me as next of kin has been very good too. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. During my aunt's time at Kew House, she has taken part in numerous activities
and enjoyed visits from musicians, children and those of animal therapists among others. The staff always greet visitors on arrival and make you feel very welcome with offers of refreshments. Thank you to everyone at Kew House.

My husband was a respite resident at Kew House for two weeks in November. The staff all remembered him from a stay earlier in the year and we were both welcomed and made to feel at home. It’s not easy leaving your partner in the care of others but I trust the staff at Kew House to look after him with
respect and affection and I felt relaxed immediately. In our experience, the care and concern goes right across the staff. It’s not just the care and the activities teams but the guys on maintenance, the people who do the laundry and the kitchen staff who all greeted us warmly and take a pride in their work. The family visited several times and my husband was always well cared for and cheerful and he enjoyed the food especially. During the stay, I saw lots of interactions between the staff and other permanent residents and was struck by the kindness and the patience shown. Many thanks to all of the team.

I cannot recommend the home on the staff enough.
The atmosphere is very happy and there are many activities.
The staff are kind, helpful and cheerful. There are no nasty smells.
We look forward to having more respite.

My 95 year old father-in-law was wonderfully cared for during the last year of his life. As a rather independent gentleman, he was able to enjoy as much as he could manage, supported to be as independent as he wished. He brought with him some of his own furniture, his TV, exercise bike and mobility
scooter. Accommodating all this was made really easy by the housekeeping team.
This home is really welcoming and well managed. As my wife and I visited we were always recognised and welcomed. The home is wonderfully clean and pleasant in every way. Quite different in style and atmosphere to many other care homes in this area. The language used when referring to the residents and the kindness of all the staff created a very happy home.
The management took great interest in my father-in-law and in engaging relatives such as ourselves.
We can recommend this care home unreservedly.

Kew House is such a caring, lively and bright environment for my 95-year-old father. He loves it at Kew House, he has been there well over a year now and keeps saying how lucky he is to live there and likes to call his room “his flat”. It makes me, my sister and brother happy that he is well cared for.
The manager is always happy and welcoming. What a great place.

I have had a wonderful welcome here, all the staff are extremely helpful and willing to help. The room and bathroom are kept extremely clean and tidy and they always seem to know when you want to leave things out where I have left them.
Washing is done promptly. I have been here nearly 5 weeks and
aside from the odd hiccup on one or two occasions, all has been to my satisfaction. The training staff programme is very professional and anything asked of them is usually promptly sorted. I am very happy to be staying in such a well run home.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.788)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.788) out of 10 for Hallmark Kew House 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 43 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) 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:

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

    The Average Rating of 4.788 for Hallmark Kew House is calculated as follows: ( (420 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 505 Ratings = 4.788

  • 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 Kew House 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:

    • 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 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2, which has been reached with 42 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.
