Reviews for Hugh Myddelton House Care Home

The care at Hugh Myddelton is superb. Staff work well together and are very pleasant.
Visitors are always welcomed and are often greeted by their name.

After I moved here in July 2022 I was still feeling very "down" after a significant bereavement in November 2021. The Unit Lead gave me more than my fair share of her time to talk things through, for which I am still very grateful.

I am part of the podiatrist team who visit Hugh Myddleton House, I always enjoy attending this home as staff are always happy and attentive and residents are well cared for and happy. The management and nurses are doing a wonderful job

Hugh Myddleton is a wonderful Care Home to visit. As an entertainer, It’s one of my favourite care homes with a fun loving friendly staff, helping me make things enjoyable for the residents

"I am very happy with this care home. The staff are cheerful, attentive and caring to my mum which is reassuring when I leave knowing that she is safely being looked after. I would definitely recommend this care home."

"My experience of the Barchester Hugh Myddelton is very satisfactory. My sister is cared for, washed, changed, hair coloured. I can ask any carer to feed my sister/wash/change and it's done on the spot. Meals on the menu are fabulous, and fed on time. If I mention my sisters name to any carer/nurse they are aware of whome I am talking about instantly. Her room is kept spotless, and her bathroom clean + tidy."

"My Mum was at Hugh Myddelton for the last four weeks of her life. The care she received was wonderful - we could not have wished for anywhere better for her, or nicer, kinder, more loving people to care for her. She was treated with kindness, dignity and respect, and the care extended to our whole family. We were welcomed at any time of day or night, and the staff took a genuine interest in us as a family, not just seeing Mum as a patient. We cannot express strongly enough our gratitude to all the staff for making Mum's last few weeks of life as full of love and care as they possibly could have been. Thank you."

"My mum moved to Hugh Myddelton House Care Home at the end of February 2025 for palliative/end of life care. As a family we have been very impressed with the professional, and compassionate care she has received and the support and kindness we have all been shown. Thank you."

"I’m very happy with the care provided to my husband. The nursing staff look after him very well which is a comfort to my family and I. My husband seems very settled and happy. It has been hard for us all not being able to visit during the pandemic and he has coped quite well not seeing us, but we have seen him in the last couple of weeks and it was lovely to see him. Thank you again."

"My mother has been at Hugh Myddleton House for over 9 years and the ground floor team (particularly the nursing team) look after her so well. She can be quite tricky but over the years, they have changed her drug routine for the better, have got her to get out of her bed and sit in a chair, she even walks around and chats to people now, which was something she hadn't done for years. Yes, it is expensive but my mother is safe, well cared for and content so I can't ask for anything else."

"Mum has been a Hugh Myddelton resident since March 2018. During these months of lockdown and the challenges, this in itself has presented to all of us, we as a family (my sister, my brother and I) are very happy with the care provided to our Mum. The nurses and care staff undertake their work in a professional, compassionate, kind and caring manner and always take time to explain to us how Mum is doing when we call/visit. Both the home administrator and admin assistant are welcoming and friendly on the phone. In particular, our experience of the activities co-ordinator is wonderful. She is doing a tremendous job in keeping our Mum active and stimulated, with a sense of fun too! This is clear to see from photos taken during the activities and from our garden/indoor visits when we see Mum. We are comforted to see Mum is content and settled when we Skype/visit. Everyone is working so hard to keep us all going. All in all, we can see how Mum is well cared for and looked after. Thank you."

"An exceptional nursing home, with caring and competent staff. Management is equally helpful and supportive. The quality of my father's life and health psychologically and physically has significantly improved since being at Hugh Myddelton House, despite his medical conditions. As a family, my sister and I have complete peace of mind in the knowledge that our father is in the best care. Thank you to all staff."

"My dad spent his final four weeks at Hugh Myddelton. The staff were so caring of dad and also his family. We wish we had moved him from his previous home much sooner. We will always be so grateful to the staff for their kindness to dad and us."

"All nurses, carers and management are very friendly and helpful. The facilities are excellent and always clean and tidy. My wife is treated with dignity and carers/nurses keep me well informed on all matters. Unable to really comment on the activities as my wife has until very recently been unable to take part in them, however, I would say the weekly schedule appears very well planned and appropriate."

"Our father was happy, content and well cared for here. The wide range of activities on offer, connecting often with the outside world was stimulating and meant that our father slept less during the day. There were no smells here. The home was warm and very clean, and the front of house team was welcoming. The menu was very varied and enjoyed by our father. The carers did their job well, and the management team were always available to discuss any concerns (which were few). The link with the local GP was good, and she took the time to contact us on occasions. Our father was a resident during the pandemic, but he was able to have a designated visitor to his room so his family were able to visit most days, hugely appreciated. Some of the staff did over and above what was expected of them. The rooms are small, but we were able to accommodate a recliner from home. We feel confident to leave our father in the care of the Hugh Myddelton team. Thank you."

"This two week stay at Hugh Myddelton for my mother shortly after a short hospital stay was an excellent experience, both for her, my sister and I. We were treated with professional and empathetic respect and dignity, and Mum was comfortable and always reassured us that the staff were lovely and she was content. This care centre is just the right size, large enough to have the professional staff, nurses and expertise, but small enough to give those who give here personal and lovely attention."

"My husband spent 5 months in the hospital and 1 month in the rehabilitation unit. He came here (Hugh Myddelton) in May 2023. At Hugh Myddelton House his needs are being met considering he is paralysed. I would recommend High Myddelton House for anyone who needs care, be it dementia or other illnesses."

"Barchester Hugh Myddelton House Care Home has been wonderful for my mum, we definitely chose the best place for her to be. All the staff are very friendly, happy people who care for my mother's needs without us needing to worry. There is always some kind of entertainment being arranged or sometimes a pub lunch. My mum was very ill, on her deathbed in a hospice before coming to Hugh Myddelton, they have cared for her so well that she is now able to return back to her own home full-time. We really appreciate all their help in the last six months. Thank you!"

"My mum, who had advanced dementia, spent her last month at Hugh Myddelton after leaving the hospital after a fall. The care she received was wonderful. It was a fairly confusing time for all of our family and the discharge from the hospital felt pretty disorganized. However, the staff were amazing in making sure that everything was in place for her arrival and helped to settle her in very well. Everyone was friendly, respectful, and caring - Mum was made comfortable and I could see that she felt relaxed, even though she was not able to talk. After the fall her medical needs were much greater and were completely catered for. I would like to say a special thank you to the unit leader, who took the time to talk with me when Mum first arrived. On the morning that Mum died, everyone was so kind and gave me space to just sit and pray. Thank you."

"The nurses are fantastic, they go above and beyond to care for their residents. They celebrate special occasions for the residents, like decorating the dining room for Valentine's Day. Everyone is friendly and approachable. I have witnessed nurses first hand getting antibiotics delivered the same day for their patients even though the pharmacy they use doesn't offer this same-day delivery. They make it happen."

"My mother moved to Barchester Hugh Myddelton House Care Home in April from hospital and was there until she passed away in August. I was very impressed by all aspects of the home. It was very well run. It was a beautiful environment, lovely garden, little cafe area, good food and most importantly, kind and caring staff. It always felt calm and peaceful. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for nursing care."

"My husband came to Barchester Hugh Myddelton House Care Home after a stroke and brain haemorrhage for nursing care. I could not be more grateful to all of the staff for the outstanding care my husband has received since he came here. Everyone is so positive and empathetic and throughout this hard time they have taken care of our whole family, not just my husband. I have gotten to know many of the residents and their relatives and you quickly become part of the extended family. I know when I am not here that my husband is truly cared for as a person as well as a patient. A big thank you to everyone at Hugh Myddleton."
