Overall Experience

I was not great with my mum being in a care home, but when mum was taken in at Rastrick Hall & Grange, I felt it was the right place for her. The carers are amazing with her, I really feel comfortable with her being in your care. She has all of the carers calling her grandma! I know she isn't sleeping

great, but she has really settled in now, and she isn't packing her bags every day; that is all down to your team, and on behalf of us, I thank you very much for all you do.

Reply from Paul Millar, Marketing Manager at Rastrick Hall & Grange

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. It is a pleasure to care for "Grandma " and we are thrilled at how well she has settled in. Your kind words are greatly appreciated, and I will, of course, share them with the Rastrick family.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law has settled in really well; she does not pack up every day and wants us to take her home. My wife wasn't happy about her going into care, and she was worried sick. My wife and I feel settled; she is in the right place. Your staff are amazing, they keep us informed of any changes.

Reply from Paul Millar, Client Relations at Rastrick Hall & Grange

Thank you for choosing Rastrick Hall & Grange for your mother-in-law's care. We are delighted at how she has settled in. Thanks also for your kind words about the care and service the Rastrick team provides. I will, of course, make sure they see them.

Overall Experience

We visited a number of care homes before choosing Rastrick Hall for my wife's brother, who suffers from dementia and needed safeguarding. We had reviewed the CQC report and discussed with the management, who were very open and honest about the previous issues. We also researched with local healthcare

professionals and were able to meet with the wife of another resident who had been there for 18 months. She spoke highly of the care. This is an initial impression, but his entry to the home was very good, with really helpful staff. We are very hopeful for the future and will review again.

Overall Experience

I would give it 0 stars if I could, appalling care! Rude obnoxious staff and management a complete joke. Unexplained bruising they didn't put on system, I asked about said bruising and I'm accused of challenging! Failed to monitor basic health! Just sedated! Like zombies! Cutting family out of decisions!

Blame care liaison team, blame community mental health team blame doctors for their failures! Someone who can walk talk and feed themselves then 2 days later can't walk talk or feed themselves, goes into hospital with thyroid levels through roof, sodium levels through the roof, 30% kidney function and dehydrated! Loss of weight! But apparently they was fine! I don't call that fine. Banning family! Going against residents human rights! Residents items going missing, which are locked in clinic room! (Cigs) personal possessions out of room! Still owe family money when we moved the resident out after they ended up in hospital due to the negligence of Rastrick.

Overall Experience

At a difficult time for both family and parents, the staff were so loving and encouraging, professional and compassionate, just what is needed. Any issues were dealt with very quickly, and nothing was too much trouble. Visiting was always a nice experience despite the difficult time we were having as

a family. Can't thank them enough for everything.

Reply from Joanne Davy, Home Manager at The Hawthornes

Thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to look after both your Mum and Dad. I will pass on your feedback to the staff team.

Overall Experience

Shocking behaviour from some of the staff (not all ). You can tell its just a job. My mum was in less than 6 weeks and in the first 3 weeks I discovered she had not been showered or bathed despite being an infection risk. When I challenged this shocking revelation I was informed they had forgot to put

mum on the care plan and the team member would let her manager know straight away, they then tried to back track saying she was on a different care plan!!! ( one that clearly doesn't keep the residents clean then I guess ) they tried to blame mum by stating she refused which she hadn't. she wouldn't. When they showered her that evening after complaining she loved it, the team rang me and I could hear her enjoying herself and having a laugh. The manager didn't appear to be that bothered either, not very approachable. less than 6 weeks my mum sadly passed away due to Sepsis.

Overall Experience

We are writing with heavy hearts to say goodbye to this wonderful place, as our beloved dad, passed away on April 4th. My sister and I want to express our deepest gratitude to each and every one of you - the carers, kitchen staff, laundry, and cleaners - for the love, care, and kindness you showed Dad

during his time here. Your dedication and compassion helped him live longer than we expected, and for that, we are eternally grateful.
The receptionist warm welcome and smile every morning brightened our days, and the management, were exceptional in every way. HER support and understanding made a huge difference to Dad's stay and our peace of mind.
If you're looking for a truly lovely and friendly care home, we would highly recommend The Hawthornes without hesitation. The commitment to care and support is truly second to none.
My sister and I will deeply miss the friendships
we've built with everyone here. XX

Since my mothers admittance 4 weeks ago, staff have been nothing but supportive. They've helped my mother settle down quickly and staff have assisted her with her needs. She's enjoying visiting another family member who is also currently a resident. She seems to look forward to getting her hair styled

every two weeks, and she enjoys the different activities that are put on for her.

I would like to thank all staff in this wonderful care home for treating my mum as though she is a family member. My mum had been quite poorly and everyone was so attentive to her needs. No matter what time of day I visit, there is always someone that can say how mum has been. Nothing is too much for

them. I highly recommend this care home to anyone that is thinking of finding a suitable home for their loved one. Totally feels like home from home. Well done everyone!

I couldn't ask for a more kind a caring place for my mum to be looked after. She's been at The Hawthornes since September 2023 and has always been well cared for with all her needs met. I can't praise the staff enough who always make me feel welcome, and answer any questions I have. It's reassuring

to know mum is looked after by such lovely people.

My Dad has since passed away April 25 after spending 13 months in the care home without an adjustable bed was not able to sit up and have breakfast in bed in all his time At Hawthornes, Family had to buy Dad a new Mattress. Dad was self funding £1000 a week and had to buy his own mattress. This home

failed my father and The food is atrocious. Current T cake for tea.

Reply from Joanne Davy, Home Manager at The Hawthornes

I want to extend our heartfelt condolences to you and your family. It was a privilege to care for your dad during his time with us.I'm sorry that you feel let down. As you know a full investigation was carried out in response to your concerns, and our findings shared with you. I understand this may not have concluded in the way you'd hoped, but I want to reassure you that we took your feedback seriously.With regards to the equipment provided which didn't meet your expectations, It was your family's decision to purchase an alternative mattress for your dad was made out of love and care, and I know it meant a lot to him. We supported that choice as best we could.In respect of meals, we endeavour to offer a varied and enjoyable menu, and we regularly review it based on resident and family feedback. I'm sorry that this wasn't your experience.If you would like to share any further thoughts, please do reach out to me directly.

Overall Experience

Dad is very well cared for. He has Alzheimer's and does not have full capacity. I needed to speak to dad about the property he owns and asked if a member of staff could accompany me. The lady on reception spoke with the manager and it was agreed. A senior member of staff did so. We discussed how to

proceed in dad's best interests before speaking to dad. The conversation went very well indeed and dad was happy throughout. A testament to working together in Dads best interests. Thank you
As an extra, I have had to deal with cancer for the past 15 months and everyone at The Hawthorne's has been exemplary in their support of dad and myself through this. I cannot thank you enough!

All the staff at The Sycamores have been very friendly and welcoming to Mum which has been a comfort to me. Mum is already building up relationships with staff which is nice to see. One of the nice things about The Sycamores is that they like to make it a 'home from home' for their residents.
