I can't express how utterly delighted I have been with Kew House and the care they give my mum. She settled in so very quickly and is very happy, she regards it as home. I can't say enough good things about all the staff, they are wonderful and they truly make the place feel so welcoming. They all are
happy, smiley and so kind to my mum. I have completely stopped worrying about leaving her here.

Kew House recently took care of my father for the last few weeks of his life. From the very moment I came in contact with Kew care home, I was impressed by their responsiveness and their professionalism. My father was in a bad way and having a terrible time in hospital and I was desperate to get him
out and into somewhere comfortable and tranquil. The staff at Kew House did everything they could to help me and to expedite the process as quickly as possible. While he was at the home, my father was offered excellent care in all areas an treated with dignity. I am more than happy to recommend the Kew House as an excellent organisation.

Kew House is an outstanding care home. It has the significant advantage of being built for purpose, so the design and layout make sense. There is a lovely cafe-style area and several pleasant reception rooms. Cleanliness and upkeep is excellent. Staff are kind, responsive, cheerful and understand the
needs of the residents. If something is not quite right, staff and managers are very quick to respond. Recent highlights have included a trip for some residents to the sea in Brighton.

My Grandmother moved into the carehome in January 2018. She and I have been very happy with the home. The staff are very friendly, helpful and caring. The environment is lovely and homely, I always feel welcomed even with my 4 children. The activities they provide are brilliant and my grandmother especially
like the singers that come in to perform.

My mother came to Kew House 4 years ago after reluctantly admitting that she could no longer cope alone at home. She was welcomed into the home by caring staff who found out her interests and introduced her to other residents. She soon felt part of the community and with the help of the excellent food
and exercise built into every day, she became stronger and more confident. The home is spotlessly clean, residents clothes are well cared for and Mum enjoyed her weekly visit to the hairdresser and salon. She enjoyed the activities from quiz nights, to exercise groups, to outings, to the garden centre and shops.
As she became less well, the activities coordinators and carers all encouraged her to do as much as she could while helping her as necessary to maintain her independence and dignity. Mum and I came to know the staff well and consider them as friends, Kew House was definitely home to her. There is strong leadership and good staff training shown in a high standard of care and kindness.

My father has always been fiercely independent and house proud. He was never happier than in his own home, comfortable in a familiar environment. When it became evident that it was no longer possible for him to live independently we were concerned as to how he would adapt to life in a home. From the
beginning Kew House were marvellous, welcoming him, personalising his room with family photographs, introducing other residents, encouraging him to participate in group activities. He quickly settled into his new life, such that within a few days he called it home. On visits, I am struck by the warmth, care and professionalism of the staff, a contrast to other homes I have experienced. The standard of care is excellent. Christmas 2017 was the first time in many years we had not celebrated the occasion in his house. We enjoyed an excellent dinner and the company of other residents and their families. A great day. In summary, other care homes should aspire to the standards of Kew House.

Kew House is a handsome purpose-built care home across the end of a cul-de-sac in Wimbledon, very convenient for visiting by rail and tube. The whole home is light and airy including the large sitting and dining rooms, and the bedrooms are large with good-sized bathrooms. The home is well maintained
and clean. The food is excellent and there is a regular programme of well thought through activities. The care staff are well trained in dementia care, skilled and attentive, with a calm atmosphere prevailing. The staff are hugely supportive and helpful. The home is fully staffed and does not rely on agency workers. The management team is excellent, with a real focus on the things that matter. Very well done.

Dad moved into Kew House last year and settled in quickly. It was a big change for him as he had lived independently in his own home for a long time. But, due to a few trips to hospital and receiving care at home, dad, myself and my brother realised he needed more support on a 24/7 basis. Dad is now
part of the Kew House family and is very happy living there. All staff members are wonderful and it’s great to see all residents happy and very well looked after. There are numerous activities every day, plus special events arranged and the food is always freshly cooked with a fantastic choice too. Dad enjoys a glass of wine with his lunch and dinner and these touches make all the difference. My brother and I have a good relationship with the all the staff which means we work together to ensure the best possible care and wellbeing for dad. We are also getting to know some of the other residents and this helps build friendships in the Kew House family.

My dad had been in and out of hospital and after viewing several care homes in the area - we decided as a family that Kew House had all the facilities that met my dad's needs. He has settled in very well and has very high praises for the staff, other residents and the variety of facilities on offer
as well as the day to day variety of meals and activities.

A secure, friendly a bright environment. The staff are cheery and pleasant. I feel at home there too. My mother gets bored when lucid not many activities are useful for her state of play. I have been sparing with "excellent" as I do not have many sources of comparison.

My mother was on the dementia floor of Kew House for two years. I was extremely happy with her care particularly due to the consistency of the staff (there is not a high staff turn over). I found the staff to be kind and respectful - and willing to go the extra distance to bring a smile to my mother's
face. And they always took great care in her personal appearance dressing her beautifully. With dementia, it is about creating little moments of joy and that is exactly what the staff do to provide both in general attitude and scheduled activities.

My mum went into Kew House for respite care last year to see how she might settle down. So when the time came for a permanent move, it was a familiar place to her. So I had no hesitation in choosing Kew House again. All the staff are attentive and kind and the residents are given the utmost respect.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending the place and have already done so.

My mum came to Kew House for respite care as she was not coping at home with carers coming in. Kew were very helpful in settling my mum in which was especially good as I don't live in London. My mum thoroughly enjoyed her stay and was much improved during the time she stayed there. Thank you all very
much.

My mother moved into Kew House after my father died and she had received a terminal diagnosis. She had lived at home with my father for nearly 70 years and was very nervous about having to adapt to such a very different life. The staff at Kew House, from the moment she arrived, were very welcoming
and caring and gentle and fully understood her concerns and did their utmost to make her feel part of their community; she has at all times been treated with respect and genuine care. Kew House is outstanding in terms of how it has been designed and laid out to make life for its residents as comfortable as possible. All the facilities are totally accessible- corridors are wide, communal spaces are well thought out and welcoming and rooms are designed to make the residents feel at home- they look out onto thoughtfully landscaped gardens and open spaces. Kew House is very close to the centre of Wimbledon- such a bonus to be able to wheel Mum into the centre of life in a few minutes.

Every member of staff is warm, friendly and caring. The atmosphere is cheerful and welcoming. My cousin felt at home from the first minute she arrived for respite care and told everyone she wanted to move there permanently at the right time. When that time came, Kew House gave her the right amount of
information and support without ever putting her under pressure to make a decision. It is a pleasure going to see her at Kew House.

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.
