Reviews for Scarborough Hall Care Home

Our family member who is a resident has a very comfortable nicely furnished ensuite room looking out over the garden. She is well looked after by friendly, caring staff. The meals are varied and nutritious and a spacious dining room. Visitors are made very welcome and a self service coffee lounge is always available for their use. The place is very clean and very nicely decorated. There are a variety of activities for residents and sometimes visiting family members can join in. Overall we are very satisfied with our experience.

"Staff friendly and provide the peaceful atmosphere. Residents have their own room which is a good size, with en-suite shower. Outside there is a walk around garden leading from the conservatory and places to sit and chat. The dining area was clean and there was a good selection on the menu's"

"My Dad has been a resident at Scarborough Hall for just over 3 years now. He settled well and has been very happy. Staff are friendly, efficient and caring. The home has a very good activities team and Dad has been involved in many events and outings. The home have also kindly invited family to join Dad for special occasions including meals and a party for his 100th birthday. Facilities are good and the home is well appointed. Families of residents are kept well informed with regular emails and updates in addition to an annual review of the residents care. Weekly activities programme is also sent to families with open invites to join loved ones for events."

"My husband had a good stay at Scarborough Hall. Although he was only on respite for a few days, the staff were very kind, friendly and caring. The food was lovely and the room was very pleasant and clean. The facilities in the room were accessible with help due to his lack of mobility the carers were happy to help."

"I can’t praise the staff enough. My mother receives such good care and attention, especially as now she is no longer mobile and her care needs have increased. I’m most grateful and would definitely recommend Scarborough Hall as a tip-top home to anyone who asked."

"Coping with dementia is never easy, but Scarborough Hall are doing an excellent job for my father. The family is kept well informed, and the home seems to be run very efficiently. The admission documentation was clear and the admission process was completed by email over a couple of days, very happy with the service. Due to COVID I have not been able to visit, but talking to my dad over the phone is easily done through the friendly staff."

"I have both my parents in Scarborough Hall and I couldn’t wish for them to be in any better place. The staff look after them as if they were their own and even though I haven’t been able to visit them due to the restrictions, I have been comforted knowing that they are in such good hands. Nothing is ever any trouble to them and everyone is so happy and friendly creating a lovely family atmosphere. I can’t thank the staff enough for what they do for my mam and dad and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the home to others."

"The recent garden visit facilitated by Scarborough Hall was a real tonic during the current pandemic. Really grateful to Scarborough Hall and their staff for making the visit possible. Previous to this being able to Skype has allowed me to maintain visual contact with Mum which was so important. Overall my impression of Scarborough Hall has been one of a friendly yet professional environment where Mum has benefited from the community. I do feel the staff have made a tremendous effort to get to know Mum which has certainly benefitted her to settle in. Thank you."

"My father has only been with you for a short while and in that time I have only been able to meet with time once in the garden due to Covid-19. I have not been inside the home but found all the staff that I have been dealing with very helpful. he looks well and I am pleased you have got on with his new meds. A very good start and I look forward to visiting under normal circumstances. Thank you"

"My mum has been a resident for almost two years. During this time she has been cared for with compassion - in particular during COVID 19. The home and staff have done a superb job of looking after Mum and all the residents in the most challenging environment. Keep up the great work - it does not go unnoticed!"

"My mother is very well looked after in every way. The staff are very caring and considerate. They treat my mum with great dignity and thoughtfulness. I would not keep my mum in anywhere I did not think was looking after her properly."

"The care and support my sister receives is excellent. The staff are always very caring, courteous and helpful. They have been excellent in their handling of the Covid 19 pandemic. Resident and staff safety has been the primary concern, but there has also been good communication with relatives to explain the policy as circumstances change."

"Hi. My mum was with the care home for almost eight years. I must say I can not fault the care and love mum received on the dementia side of the home. The staff, in this mad world we sadly live in, are so brave and courageous. The only downside I had in these years is you must stick up for loved ones on the finance side of things. Without going into it on a personal side, I get the impression that someone else pulls the strings of the management on the finances. Please do not be afraid to ask questions that are personal to you but most of all thank you for the care shown to my mum over the years."

"Highly recommended, able to have indoor visits in the new pod room, another room is becoming available soon which is great to fit more visits in. The care staff go above and beyond to make relatives feel more relaxed about this awful pandemic. My uncle is happy and well cared for. Management is always available to chat too. I get a phone call at least twice a week from either the Manager or deputy manager just to let me know how my uncle is doing. Nothing is a problem for them. In times like this, we need to know our loved ones are cared for and my uncle certainly is at Scarborough Hall."

"My dad has only been living at the care home for a few months, I have visited him within the covid lockdown, once in the garden, and a couple of times in a secure screened visitor suite, both residents and visitors are guided to follow all safety put in place, from masks to hand sanitiser etc. Care for my dad appears good, from communication to mobility assisting, and my dad's appearance is clean and tidy. He seems to have a good relationship with carers, I have not been inside the home yet, but from outward appearances, it is clean, tidy and comfortable, I am always welcomed and given feedback when asked."

"This has been such a difficult time but everyone at Scarborough Hall has been amazing - very caring, accessible and professional. Despite all the new and changing rules and arrangements, they have communicated so well and have been compassionate and sensible in their approach. The Skype calls and new, designated visiting space have been great and the staff have been so resilient and consistent in putting our loved ones first. Thank you."

"The 5th was my mums birthday. All the carers and staff went to wish her a happy birthday, she received a lovely plant and cake. She said it was one of the best birthdays she has ever had. It was moving to see her so happy. Mum only went into care on the 24th December, she has settled in very well making lots of connections with staff."

"The care home is clean and tidy. The staff are friendly and informative about the wellbeing of one's relative. If a change in circumstances or incident occurs a member of staff will contact a family member. They have been strict and adhered to guidance regarding Covid-19. My relative seems quite settled at the home and enjoys the meals and activities. Although that could vary some days due to the Alzheimer's one's relative suffers from."

"Mum has settled and has bever brought me cause for her concern. Not all staff members at first appeared approachable but at stressful times have become more receptive to the stress and issues of Covid and going into a home one member of staff has excelled at this and should be recognised as an outstanding member of staff, she is amazing."

I continue to feel that mum is being given the best care and support possible and to see her happy and safe is such a credit to the manager and the team!"

"Very caring staff in all departments, i.e. good response to alarm and to make resident (husband) comfortable in wheelchair, along with a sense of humour chat on both sides. Well-kept gardens for residents to enjoy. Good food cooked on-site by the chef. Good choice menu. Requests for appointments, dentist, calls to GP and nurse have always been dealt with by teams in a professional manner. I visit nearly every day and have found the home offers a very happy atmosphere - thanks to all the staff I have come to know."

"Scarborough Hall is my dad’s first choice in respite care. Since January he has been in and out a few times. He’s due to go back in again soon and it’s a huge weight lifted knowing he’s safe. He’s always so happy when he returns. The Managers are always visible around the home, they are always up on the dementia floors helping out. Which is lovely to see. You don’t get that in many homes. My dad is looking forward to his return. Thank you all at Scarborough Hall."

"My husband has been a resident for 12 months, his dementia has accelerated in this time. 1. Residents spend most days sitting in the dining room dozing - no stimulation provided. 2. There are some excellent staff and some poor ones. Often they are very short of staff. 3. The manager is not there every day and no deputy, both usually in the office when present, not visible to staff and residents so unaware of what's happening. 4. Laundry/loss of clothes/damage to clothes. Careless mayhem. Disaster."

"My mother has been in Scarborough Hall Care Home for a few months now and my family and I are extremely pleased with this placement. Everyone is always polite, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere in Scarborough Hall is always excellent. The facilities are first class, always clean and maintained to a very high standard. I haven't had a meal at the home but the menu is very impressive and the homemade snacks in the lounge are always excellent. I have left activities and safety/security categories blank because I have no experience with them but I am confident they will be excellent."

"My father is a resident and has been for seven months. He has settled well now and is well cared for. The home has had a major refurbishment which has been very disruptive for staff and residents but now complete and looks fabulous. My only reservation is the luxury furnishings which are not very practical for incontinent residents resulting in carpets and fabrics smelling unpleasant. The home has an excellent activities team who involves relatives in decisions. All the staff are very caring and work extremely hard."

I bring my 3-year-old son with me for my visits and he is made to feel comfortable and doesn't get anxious in any way due to the nature of the staff. My dad couldn't be in a better place to be cared for."
