Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We placed mum here for respite a couple of times before we left her here in full time care.
We visit 2 - 3 times a week to make sure Mum is happy and well. She has nothing but good things to say about the home and staff and seems really happy. Recently her health has not been so good and the response
and attention she has been given during this time has been second to none.
We have got to know some of the key staff and have found them to be personable, diligent and professional in all respects. We are very glad we chose this home. I would be more than happy to recommend this home to anyone who is in need of arranging care for a relative.
Reply from Lynn Pereira, Marketing and Content Executive at Halstead HallThank you so much for your lovely review and for sharing your experience with us.
We truly appreciate your kind words about our team and the care your mum has received, particularly during a more difficult period with her health. Knowing that this has given you reassurance means a great deal to us, as supporting both our residents and their families is always at the heart of what we do.
It is wonderful to hear that you have built such positive relationships with the team, and your comments about their professionalism and dedication will be very encouraging for them. Thank you for trusting us with your mum's care and for your recommendation. We are very glad to have your mum as part of the Halstead Hall community.

My mother has become a resident at Halstead Hall and I cannot thank the team enough for their care and kindness given to my mum and our family during the last few months.
The rooms and facilities at Halstead are excellent and maintained to a very high standard.
All of the staff without exception have
been professional, caring, compassionate and friendly and have guided us through this transition period and my mum is so happy and most of all feels safe and secure

Our Mum has just enjoyed every aspect of Christmas at Halstead Hall. The staff were amazing and she thoroughly enjoyed all of the opportunities offered to her. From making Christmas tree decorations to singing carols, she enjoyed every minute. Christmas Luncheon was a superb three course lunch, and
while we didn't share it with her, it smelt amazing.


The caring attentive staff went all out to ensure everyone present had a wonderful Christmas time.

Reply from Lynn Pereira, Marketing and Content Executive at Halstead HallThank you so much for sharing this. We are delighted to hear how much your mum enjoyed Christmas at Halstead Hall.

The festive season is something our team really cherishes, so it is lovely to know she enjoyed getting involved in the activities, from making decorations to singing carols.

My mother in law has been at the care home now for over 3 years. She is extremely well looked after and is very happy with the staff and the home and facilities on offer. She speaks so highly of the activity staff who keep her busy with games, crafts and outings. Things she would never have done
at home living on her own. It has given her a new lease of life. The food that is served is of excellent quality and her personal dietary needs are catered for. Where we have had reason to contact the home, our queries have been taken seriously and answered to our satisfaction. As my mother in law is hard of hearing, Lisa in the office is a fantastic go between and goes above and beyond. I would certainly recommend this home to others.
Reply from Lynn Pereira, Marketing and Content Executive at Halstead HallThank you very much for sharing such wonderful feedback. It is brilliant to hear how much your mother-in-law enjoys her time with us and how positively she has embraced life at the home. We are so pleased that the activities and outings have brought her enjoyment and new experiences, and that her dietary needs are being carefully catered for.

It is also lovely to hear your appreciation for the way our team communicates and supports both residents and families, particularly Lisa in the office. Your recommendation means a great deal to us, and we are delighted to continue providing care and experiences that make a real difference to her life.

My father has been in Halstead Hall for over three years now. From our first visit we were impressed by the cleanliness of the home and the lovely atmosphere it has. The staff are all fabulous and always friendly and helpful. The activities coordinators are always finding new things for the residents
to do and do their best to encourage the less keen to join in. The food looks fab and if my father does not want to wander down to the dining hall then his meal will be brought to his room. Overall he is settled now and regards it his home.

It is lovely to hear that he enjoys being part of life here and that he truly regards Halstead Hall as his home.

My mum has dementia and has been at Halstead hall for over 18 months and I cannot recommend the home and the staff that work there enough. All of the staff are wonderful, caring & supportive towards the residents living there and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are such an excellent team
and are willing to go the extra mile for the residents and their families. The moment we first walked through the door when looking for a home for mum we knew that we wanted her to move in. The home has a lovely homely feel and welcoming atmosphere, is well decorated and very clean. All my mum's health and care needs are met and if ever I have any concerns (which is very rare), the staff are on it straight away. The activities provided and food for the residents are excellent. My mum seems very happy living there. I feel very confident that she is safe and being well looked after and can't fault the standard of care that she recieves. I would have no hesitation recommending Halstead Hall.
Reply from Lynn Pereira, Marketing and Content Executive at Halstead HallThank you so much for sharing this thoughtful feedback.

It is really reassuring to hear how happy and settled your mum is at Halstead Hall, and how supported you have felt throughout her time with us. Creating a calm, welcoming and genuinely homely environment is very important to us, so your comments will mean a great deal to the team.

My mum has been in Halstead Hall for some respite care. The day my mum arrived at Halstead Hall she was initially greeted by a senior carer, who immediately made her feel at ease and offered her a warm welcome. This warm welcome has also been extended to us, her immediate family, too. My mums room is
very clean and beautifully presented, with modern furnishings. All staff are incredibly friendly, polite and caring, and make my mum feel special by popping in for a chat to see how she is. My mum has benefited greatly from the activities provided each day, she's now a whizz at Domino's and card games, and has nearly knitted a cardigan at knitting club! The visiting Therapy Dog has also been a real treat for her.
The coffee area is a great place to go when we visit my mum, it's such a nice social space for all to enjoy. My mum has also enjoyed the variety and quality of the food provided.
It has been reassuring for us as a family to know that my mum is safe and so well cared for.
Reply from Lynn Pereira, Marketing and Content Executive at Halstead HallThank you so much for sharing your lovely feedback about your mums time at Halstead Hall. It truly means a great deal to everyone here.

We are delighted to hear how welcome your mum felt from the moment she arrived and that this extended to you as a family. It is wonderful to know she has enjoyed spending time in her room, joining in with activities, and making the most of everything on offer. It sounds as though dominoes, knitting club and the therapy dog visits have all been highlights for her.

We are also pleased that you have enjoyed the coffee area when visiting and that your mum has appreciated the food provided. Most importantly, we are glad you felt reassured knowing she was safe, comfortable and well cared for.

From the first visit to view Halstead Hall for our Mum, we were made to feel very welcome. Having to move Mum out of her own home after 60 years was a very difficult decision.


From the moment she arrived she was made to feel very welcome and the care she has received has been outstanding.


Her care

has been adapted to her changing needs. All of the staff are very kind, caring and attentive.


I would highly recommend Halstead Hall to anybody considering moving their loved ones there.

My mother has been with Halstead Hall for a few months now. Her health has improved significantly since being in their care.
My mother had carers for the past few years now, but her health declined dramatically, especially over the past two years and home health care was no longer enough.
This is
when this home was recommended. So we viewed it, amongst a few others in the area and Halstead Hall stood out.
All the staff without fail are friendly, caring and hardworking.
I can honestly say this was going to be one of the most stressful and difficult things you have to go through when trying to find the right place to look after your family member, but i honestly can say, this is a safe place and i no longer have to worry for my mum

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13, which has been reached with 37 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
