RE - Relatives. 3 monthly review meeting.
This meeting covered all residents and all concerns where covered. My husband has now been in this care home 2+ years after we moved him from a previous home. All his needs are now met here and he is given first class service & provisions. Carers are first

class and would recommend this home to everyone - thank you.

Overall Experience

My husband has recently become a resident of Hundens Park, he was very upset having to go into a care home, however, the staff have been amazing. He's had previous issues with a bed sore thats gone on for 2 years & with the excellent care he's receiving its improved & is almost better within a few months

of being here. He likes to smoke & the carers always make time to take him out daily. He's put on weight & looks really well. Staff & management have been extremely supportive to all our family too. Highly recommended.

Overall Experience

Mum passed away in March, just a few days short of a year living at Hundens Park. The care my mum received during that year was exceptional, from all the staff, from the maintenance staff all the way up to management. Thank you to you all, not just for the care given to mum, but for the support I received.

Overall Experience

My dad came to the care home from hospital. It was a shame that by the time he was discharged he could not get out of bed and enjoy the care home. I found the staff friendly and welcoming from the first visit to when my dad sadly passed. The staff could not do enough to make us welcome and my dad feel

at home. The home itself was beautiful and had a homely feel to it, along with being very clean and smelling nice. I was glad my dad got to spend his last days here + felt happy we was being well looked after.

Overall Experience

After seeing Hundens Park I was impressed by how clean, up-to-date and welcoming all of the rooms were. The personalisation of the bedrooms made them feel so homely. The staff were amazing, helpful and deeply empathetic. Nothing was too much trouble and it was easy to see how much they care for the

residents. My grandad was treated with so much compassion + dignity. I only wish he came sooner.

Reply from Ana Trifasi, General Manager at Barchester Hundens Park Care Home

Overall Experience

My wife has been here for nearly 6 month now and all the staff , nurses and carers are amazing they look after her really well and take there time provide excellent care all member of staff are pleasant and really friendly , I think this care home is the best in Darlington and absolutely spotless ,

lovely that I can also make myself a coffee in the kitchen or most of the time staff will ask if I want a cuppa and cakes are always available I take my dog chip each time I visit my wife and he loves going because they all love him
The ward my wife is resident on had recently been decorated and it really looks homely and snug and new seating is going to be installed shortly which I am so looking forward to be able to site and have a cuppa with my wife
Great work all of you keep it up
Thanks so much

Overall Experience

My father had been a resident at Barchester Hawthorns Care Home for ten months but sadly, passed away at the home early January 2025. I wanted to say a special thank you for the loving and compassionate care he received from all the staff in the last few months of his life and that care and compassion

was also extended to his family. As we grieved, the staff at the home also grieved and the respect you showed my late-father as he left for the final time was truly extraordinary.

Reply from Karen Champion, Operations Manager at Barchester Hawthorns Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to complete your review. It was a pleasure to care for your father and to share the time with you all as a family.

Overall Experience

I am writing this review to express the happiness that I had during a visit. To start with, the home looked absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere was peaceful and the environment took me straight into the Christmas spirit. Visited one of my dearest and was amazing to see a fantastic spirit and health

progress in the last couple of months. Talking, the resident could not praise the staff enough, stating how lovely all are, how responsive they are towards his needs, enjoying the activities, choices respected and extremely happy with his room. The quality of life was, without any doubt, visible and could tell how happy he was to call it his home now. Staff have been highly professional, visible kindness towards him and with a smile on their face. Thank you all for making him happy, thank you all for all your hard work, it does not go unnoticed.

Overall Experience

My mum moved into a care home in April 2023. She passed away in October 2024. After a few weeks of getting used to it, she settled in and loved all the activities they offered. She even went to the theatre and sang in the lounge, which she especially enjoyed. The care she received from the friendly

staff was top-notch. She even made a few friends. The food was delicious but she might have eaten a little too much. I highly recommend this care home.
