Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum Jean arrived at Tallis House on the 21st November 2025, after a time in hospital and remained there until February 2026.
All members of staff were amazing and very caring and our mum enjoyed her stay there immensely. As a family we were so impressed with the standard of care and the cleaniness
of the home.
Nothing was too much trouble and when changes were made to mums medication it was dealt with immediately.
Mum was always clean and well presented and all her needs were met.
We got to know everyone there, staff, residents and residents family and it felt like being part of a bigger family.
It was a very relaxed atmosphere and we enjoyed our visits sitting in the cafe with endless supply of tea, coffee, biscuits and cakes. We were always made to feel very welcome.
We are going to miss everyone but we will be taking mum back for visits which we are looking forward to.
We can not thank the team at Tallis House enough. You are all first class and deserve our 5 star rating.

My mum has been a resident at Tallis House for about 18 months. When mum first arrived at Tallis House I was unsure about how she would settle in. However, all the staff were very friendly and welcoming and so this helped ease the worry.
All the staff are professional and speak and treat my mum with
dignity and respect.
The Wellbeing team provide a wide variety of activities including baking, arts and crafts, gardening, cinema evenings and bingo. They also have days out to various places such as the seaside, garden centres, bowling to name a few. The residents are always encouraged to take part in the various activities.
A hairdresser visits once a week.
Tallis House has an open door policy so I can visit any day and any time.
My mum has settled in and I am very happy with the care she is receiving. I would recommend.

I feel that they cater for the residents needs in a respectful way. If there are problems I know I can approach them and it is dealt with asap. Medication is given with the correct procedure as in making sure they take them. If alarms go off they are there straight away to deal with it. My relative
who resides there can be awkward at times but the staff make them feel comfortable and also try to get them to interact with others. The only negative part is there needs to be another couple of staff on ground floor to help in the really needy times ie. Straight after tea times when there are lots of personal needs. My relative is happy and that's good as we thought that they would never get used to being in a home. Well done team Tallis x

I can't praise this care home highly enough. From the very beginning, the communication has been excellent - I'm always kept informed and any emails are replied to quickly, which really gives me peace of mind. The staff are so friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring, which makes it such a lovely place
to be.
What really stands out is the range of activities they offer for the residents - it's wonderful to see how much is being done to keep everyone engaged and happy. My mum is so well looked after, and I couldn't be more pleased that she is here.
A huge thank you to all the team for the amazing work you do.

My mum had been living in Tallis House since June 2024. It was a big decision for all the family but one that we are glad we made. She was cared for so well, always had plenty to eat and drink and was clean and well presented. The staff are lovely and mum was very happy.
Even when she ended up being
cared for in bed, she was treated with great care and dignity - She passed away in her bed peacefully. Thank you Tallis House.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It was with great hesitation that Dad had to have 24-hour care. Tallis House is most definitely the best care home for Dad's care needs. From the moment Dad arrived we were welcomed by a smiling face and a happy-to-help receptionist. I can honestly say that Tallis House has been the best decision I've
made for my dad. The carers are welcoming and made him feel right at home with happy faces, caring nature, empathy, patience and understanding of all Dad's care needs. Constantly checking on Dad and making him tea. Dad loves the food, and I can bring Dad treats anytime for him. From receptionist, carers, management and the whole team on Dad's floor the care is outstanding. Nothing is too much for them. Tallis House is modern, bright, clean and welcoming and the dinners are freshly cooked on-site and Dad definitely enjoys them. I'm so pleased with the care my dad is receiving and continues to receive. I have no fears when I leave after visiting my dad because I know he's in excellent care.

Sadly my mother passed away last night at the age of 95. However, I wanted to say how massively grateful I am, and have been for the past 3.5 years, to all of the staff at Tallis House for the way they took care of her during her time there. She came to the home after a bad experience in a previous
care home, she was active and able to look after herself but had become vulnerable due to falling quite a lot in her own home and it was time to be somewhere with 24/7 care. During her first 2.5 years she was extremely happy with both the social activities and friends she made in the home and loved all the staff, sadly as Alzheimer's progressed she was in need of more care but the care team quickly identified the best support and provided me with frequent updates and recommendations. During the last few months of her life and especially the last two weeks, the care given by the team cannot be faulted. a most sincere thank you to all of the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Tallis House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.830 for Tallis House is calculated as follows: ( (263 Excellents x 5) + (33 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.83
  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 Tallis House 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:

    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 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 101 registered maximum number of service users is 20.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
