I absolutely cannot fault this care home or the staff, everyone is so attentive of the residents. All the staff seem so happy and are all very willing to help or give advice. The management are absolutely wonderful too. The rooms are spotless no matter what time we have visited. My father in law
was in a different care home for a few weeks prior to this one, and he hated every minute of it. He was supposed to be at Hoyland Hall for respite only, but has asked us if he can stay there, he feels so well looked after, he says the staff are wonderful and caring with him, and also the food is fantastic and they 'pile it on' we would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.

Both sets of our parents have been cared for in Hoyland Hall over the last 10 years and we could not have got through the tough times without the care that the staff have provided. The dedication and hard work is clear to see and we will be forever grateful. As a family we have always supported the
home in anyway we could and today we were invited back to enjoy afternoon tea as a thank you. A very kind and thoughtful thing to do and something we really enjoyed. It was nice to see the familiar faces and to sit and reflect. Thankyou once again for today.

Care for my uncle has been brilliant. When we see him we can tell he is happy and settled. Staff make him feel like family.
Hospitality and entertainment services are exceptional. Offering family events and the option to enjoy a delightful afternoon tea with your loved one in a clean and relaxed
environment- mirroring an experience in a vintage tea room. Fantastic!

Within 10 minutes of our experience of looking around the home, we were really satisfied. Lovely, friendly staff and so helpful and knew straight away my brother would be well looked after. Atmosphere was great and a lovely welcome as soon as you came in. A very clean home.

My husband has been a resident at Hoyland Hall since June 25. I could not be happierwith the care he receives here. The staff are second to none, warm, friendly, caring and professional. He is always treated with dignity and patience. He recently celebrated a birthday, and the afternoon tea provided
was superb - we could have been at a 5 star hotel. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone. It is always spotlessly clean, and my husband is always clean and tidy. The best we could have hoped for.

Surprise birthday afternoon tea for our sister, Janet. Outstanding hospitality by Diane and all staff. Delicious food and puddings were provided. Nothing too much, highly accommodating. 100& family orientated.

Very homely, welcoming place with absolutely brilliant, friendly, caring staff.
We've noticed a very positive difference in my dad since he moved in. Couldn't be more grateful for how they look after my dad.
26 June 2025
When dad decided he wanted to move into permanent residential care we did our homework and found in Hoyland Hall a lovely place for him to live.
It is spotlessly clean, the food is everything and more that dad could ask for.
The staff. To a man and woman we have found them all to be so helpful
and kind. Dedicated to caring I would say. Before dad moved in here he was quiet and withdrawn. It was difficult to get him to open up and talk. Now, wow what a difference. We have never seen him as chatty. He loves it here and that makes us all happy. It takes away any doubts that we had about moving him in. This is a lovely care home, a bit dated in terms of decor and furnishings but that's because they invest in the quality of care they give. I would have no reservations about recommending this home to anyone. Thankyou to all the staff. We know dad is being looked after and he is happy.

My dad only moved in a fortnight ago. He is absolutely loving it. I have not seen him this happy for over 30 years when my mum was still alive. He loves the food and jokes he almost never stops eating. Every staff member I and the family have met has been cheerful, friendly and smiling. Our every
question was answered quickly and honestly.
He is being looked after wonderfully well
I really wish to thank everyone at Hoyland Hall. It is a very special place.

Everything is fantastic. All the staff are amazing from management down. Cannot fault a thing. It's an amazing place. Would recommend the home to anyone. Always interacting with all the clients, it's like home from home. Very, very welcoming, nothing is too much trouble for staff to do anything. The
home is kept spotless and smells lovely.

I have been into Hoyland Hall 3 times now as a volunteer twice to talk about Mining and to be their father Christmas. Each time I have felt the friendly glow as I walk through the door. Smiling staff and happy clients and the feeling of happiness and wellbeing within the place. Also it is clean and
well maintained to an extremely high standard. I do seasonal work in many care home but Holyland Hall is the pinnacle in my opinion.

Mum entered the home when her quality of life had suffered causing her mood her mood to be low. She was being regularly hospitalised due to uncontrolled pain. All this changed within a few short weeks. The variety and number of stimulating activities and quality of care in this home are outstanding.
The home looks after its staff: consequently, many of them have worked there for years. Valuing experience means their staff are exceptional and provide the residents with a loving and happy home. My mum loves it. She tells us 'I have my life back'. She looks like herself again! Well-groomed, well-dressed, well-fed, with a big smile on her face. The food is excellent. Mum apparently enjoys her cooked breakfast every day (often having seconds). It is no trouble to whip up something else if today's menu is not to Mum's taste. Mum was not eating properly before, but now she is thriving. Hoyland Hall was the best choice we could ever make for Mum.

We initially brought Dad to Hoyland Hall for just a short respite stay, but 15 months later, he has thrived, and we can't imagine him anywhere else. At the time, he seemed lost, with no real spark. Hoyland Hall has provided him with over a year of exceptional care, not just physically, but also
emotionally. We truly believe it's extended his life. The staff here are incredibly dedicated. Their passion for resident well-being shines through in every interaction. Their consistent presence, with minimal turnover, fosters a genuine sense of trust and allows families like ours to have complete confidence in the care Dad receives. It's a beautiful blend of caring professionalism - the best of both worlds. Thank you, Hoyland Hall, for giving Dad a renewed sense of purpose and for giving us, his family, immense peace of mind.

All the staff are genuinely lovely to all the residents, they have patience, optimism and resilience in spades. They organise so many activities to keep residents engaged as much as possible. It's a relief to know my grandma is looked after and safe in their hands.

Over the last few years there seems to be an increasing problem with communication.
Be it not being informed about illness, differing interpretations of illness by staff, items required by residents i.e clothing, toiletries or in the not too distant past, reserving a time and date to visit only to
be told you weren’t expected when you got there.
Another example was each member of staff’s interpretation of rules as Covid restrictions were gradually eased.
Please have one song sheet for all, then all sing from it.
There seems to be only one member of staff who you can ask a question and get an answer. If she isn’t around to ask, you can waste your time.
That said, I wouldn’t want my father to be anywhere else at this time in his life. The staff at Hoyland Hall help make that decision easy.
He is, although confused, very happy and comfortable in his surroundings. Made even more so by the increase in activities he now gets involved in.

My mother was a resident of Hoyland Hall for over 3 years and during this time she was very well looked after by the caring and professional staff. When her mobility decreased the staff managed her condition and kept us informed and consulted us about the best ways to keep her safe. She very much
enjoyed the activities offered and the food.
17 January 2024
My mum was initially placed at Hoyland Hall by the hospital for respite after breaking her hip and wrist, she is now a permanent resident due to mobility issues which says a lot as I wouldn't leave her in a place where she wasn't cared for properly and in safe hands. Mum is always clean and in her
own clothes which means a lot to me as I know it is a big issue in other care homes. The staff are amazing and the activity coordinator keeps the resident's minds and bodies active with all the different activities/events she organises. The rooms are a bit dated for me but are always warm and very clean.
I would definitely recommend Hoyland Hall to anyone needing a care home for their relatives. Thank you to all the staff!

I cannot fault the care that takes place at Hoyland Hall. The staff go above and beyond and the activities and extra things they do go to show their dedication to their job and the residents. The recent Christmas activities and online virtual Christmas Calendar brought a tear to my eye and seeing it
all on social media updated is great for the families of the residents I feel too. I feel my dad has settled in so well and is treated as an individual with respect and decency whilst also getting what needs to be done in terms of medication and personal care. I spread the word about how good this place is. I do wish Dad's room was a little bigger to fit in his own chair from home but it can’t be helped. Although the decor of the bedrooms is a little dated, everything that matters is excellent and it’s not something that dad is bothered about and that’s what matters. I feel assured dad is in safe hands and I am called if anything is wrong or need to be notified of. Thank you.

My mum is a resident of Hoyland Hall and has been for a long while. The standard of care and compassion she receives is second to none. The staff go above and beyond for her and all other residents. The activity therapies are brilliant and all are encouraged to join in. I would recommend this home
to anyone and everyone.
12 January 2024
I cannot fault the care and support that my dad has received since he became a resident in November 2022.
All the staff members go above and beyond to do their upmost to ensure each and every resident is looked after.
The activities are varied and they try to do different themes too.
