Review from Anne S (Wife of Resident) published on 6 June 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband suffers with Parkinsons and Lewy Bodies and since his stay at Royal Hampton, I have seen a remarked improvement in his mobility and well-being. The home not only offers excellent surroundings giving the feeling your stay is in a luxury hotel, but more important to me is that my husband is
receiving excellent nursing and care from professional staff who are aware of him needing help with his motivation each day. Highly recommended.

Review from Stephen L (Son of Resident) published on 8 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My parents have been residents of Royal Hampton for about one month. I cannot praise the home and its staff enough.


The quality of the private rooms, catering, communal rooms and facilities are of the highest order. It feels like an upmarket hotel rather than a nursing home.


The management and

staff cannot do enough for my parents. My parents comment regularly on how caring and attentive the staff are.


As family members of residents, we are made most welcome too. The home allows us to have meals with my parents whenever we choose. We have had some lovely Sunday lunches, weekday evening meals and, today, a 5 star Mothers' Day afternoon tea.


My parents love being there and that makes my sister and I feel very comfortable with the choice of care home that we have made for our parents.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.749) out of 10 for Royal Hampton - Ponteland is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.749 for Royal Hampton - Ponteland is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.749
  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 Royal Hampton - Ponteland is based on 17 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 17 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.

Karen Taylor-Williams

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2018

I was born in May 1969 in Hythe in the New Forest in Hampshire. I have a younger brother Neil who currently lives in New Zealand with his family.


My Father is a qualified engineer and as a result, we moved around the country with his work, moving to the North East in 1976.


I completed my High School years at Greenfield School in Newton Aycliffe and King Edwards V school in Morpeth. Leaving to go on a pre-nursing course at Ashington Tech.


I studied at St George's Hospital in Morpeth completing my Registered Mental Nurse training in 1990.


I married Karleen in 2014 and between us, we have seven children. I now have 3 grandchildren who give me immense pleasure and joy. The children and grandchildren are always at our house so home life is hectic and noisy but I wouldn't have it any other way.


We have three dogs and three cats but have had many different animals over the years.
I have worked in the private sector since 1991 and have managed care homes since 1994, specialising predominately in Dementia Care. I won "Best Dementia Care Manager" Award with the Dementia Times in 2010.
I have worked at Royal Hampton since 2018, it is an amazing place to work with lovely people and see myself here until I retire.
