Honey Lane Care Home is Waltham Abbey was the sixth place I looked at when mum needed more specialist care. When I entered the premises I immediately felt at ease and welcomed. This feeling has never gone away. The staff are very jolly with the residents and comforting. Mum is well looked after which means I can go home safe in the knowledge that mum is in the best place.
Every time I visit my grandma, she is happy. She is clean and not hungry. The staff are so caring - genuinely.
There's always something going on and I enjoy seeing the social media posts.

My dad says, "it's a good place to be". The people are kind and the food is nice. My father was an independent man until last year and it was very difficult as a family to accept he needed to be in a care home. We couldn't wish for him to be in a better place, he is treated as an individual and...
My dad says, "it's a good place to be". The people are kind and the food is nice. My father was an independent man until last year and it was very difficult as a family to accept he needed to be in a care home. We couldn't wish for him to be in a better place, he is treated as an individual and with great dignity.
The staff and management at this care home treat the residents with kindness and respect, which is a great comfort to the relatives.

My husband seems content in the home, I visit often and the staff are always treating all the residents with care and kindness. There are often activities going on to entertain and stimulate the residents and I am confident that he is being well looked after.

The care my relative receives is outstanding. The staff are always friendly and happy to assist in any way they can and nothing is ever too much trouble. I would absolutely have no hesitation in recommending the home to anyone. It is a wonderful place, run by a wonderful team.

We had issues with staffing levels, general cleanliness and communication between the care home and the residents family. The first two issues appear to have been remedied. There is at times still lack of communication between the home and the residents family, particularly when requesting feedback on some personal issues relating to our family member. We have recently had issues (on 2 occasions) where our family member's specific personal aids went missing, which were not noticed by the staff (it would appear) and by the time a family member noticed the aids were missing, they cannot be found. We are however happy with the care given by the staff to our family member.
We are really glad that we were able to work with this family to ensure that all of their concerns were addressed and they were happy with the outcome. Mums hearing aid was found, it was very well hidden ! We always strive to deliver an excellent level of care to our residents and support their relatives through their journey.
All employees are first class. The home is always clean and well cared for. I would recommend the care home to anyone.

Our Home Manager Angie joined the Carebase family at Honey Lane in 2013. Showing a natural flair for care, she quickly progressed to the role of Senior before moving in 2015 to our sister home, 1 Sewardstone Close, which cares for adults with an acquired brain injury. Over the course of the next three years, she was promoted from a Team Leader to the home’s Head of Care, working closely with multidisciplinary teams including speech and language therapists and psychologists. Angie returned to Honey Lane in February 2022 as Deputy Manager.
Angie is a Qualified Dementia Interpreter and brings a wealth of experience supporting residents, their families and our teams. She is passionate about truly understanding the differing needs of residents to deliver personalised care that enables them to live well with dementia.
Speaking about her role at Honey Lane, Angie said: “We support residents to live a life which is meaningful to them and one where they are able to spend their time doing the things they love. It’s a privilege to get to know our residents and nothing makes me happier than seeing them content and well looked-after.”
In her spare time, Angie enjoys spending time with friends and family, reading, music, and going to the theatre.
