We were very concerned about mum after an awful time in hospital. The welcome we received at Hatfield Lodge was amazing and mum did not take long to settle in. She has a comfortable, en-suite room with plenty of space for her bits and bobs. The staff are attentive and caring, welcoming visitors and looking after my dad when he visits. The home is always warm and welcoming, very clean and well equipped. The food choices are excellent and mum can have drinks whenever she wants. She has had several outings and appreciates the visiting hairdresser. Staff are quick to contact us if there is a problem and respond well to any queries or concerns we may have. Overall, I am very happy and grateful for the care and support mum receives.

After 62 years together it was and is very painful to be parted. I was concerned to entrust my wife to someone else. My wife has taken time to settle, living without me and me her. The staff so kind and caring, even sent me a video the next day to reassure me. The staff recognise me using my first name and consistently check on my welfare. I miss her but I know she is safe and well looked after, which is my priority.
Thank you for your kind review. We understand how difficult this transition has been for both of you after 62 years together. We're delighted to hear that the team have been able to provide reassurance and support, and that you have peace of mind knowing your wife is safe and well looked after.
I'll make sure your kind words are passed on to the team.

Mum went to Hatfield Lodge after falling and breaking her hip at home. Mum has dementia and the hospital said she was no longer able to look after herself at home so they found Hatfield Lodge for us ascit was nearer my brother and he could visit her more often. Hatfield is a lovely home mum has settled in well. Every time we visit the staff make us feel at home too and we also get private time mum. I like that they have lots of activities which was something mum was missing out on at home. The staff are lovely and always involve us in any decisions that are needed.
Thank you for your very kind review Jaci. We are delighted to have you and your mother as part of the Hatfield Lodge family and will be sure to pass on your kind words to the staff.

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and kind words. We are truly delighted to hear that your dad has settled in well with us at Hatfield Lodge. We understand how difficult and emotional the transition into respite care can be for families, especially following a hospital stay, so it means a great deal to know that our team has helped make him feel comfortable, safe, and cared for.
Your comments about our staff, care, hospitality, and food will be shared with the whole team, who work incredibly hard to provide compassionate, person-centred care every day. Knowing that your dad feels happy and supported, and that he speaks so positively about the team, is the greatest compliment we could receive.

I cannot thank the management and staff enough for the excellent care that has been given to my mother since the beginning of admission. The quality of care that my mother receives is the best that I have ever observed and I have worked in many residential homes. The environment is incredibly nurturing offering kindness and love to all of their residents and nothing is ever any trouble even when they are at their busiest times. I never believed that I would see my mum so happy and so cared for before she arrived there and would recommend it to anyone who needs to make a choice for their loved one.
Thank you for your positive and kind review of Hatfield Lodge, we are so pleased that you are happy with the care that Mum receives.

The facilities, décor, layout are all great. It's clear that the home manager is a naturally friendly and kind person who has put my dad's needs and wellbeing first, as have the rest of the staff.
Thank you for your kind review; it's an honour to care for your father.
My father was placed at Hatfield Lodge following his release from hospital and subsequent dementia assessment in February. The staff are truly wonderful, nothing is too much bother and I am kept informed at all times if anything arises. The change in my father has been remarkable, he is always...
When visiting we are always made to feel very welcome, and when we can't it is always possible to speak to him on the phone, even when the staff are busy.
We cannot thank you enough for putting a smile back on his face.
Thank you for your kind review; it's a pleasure to look after Dad, and it's lovely to hear that you are so pleased with Dad's care.

Continuing in that ongoing care is good and this, coupled with immediate feedback to me on any issues as they arise, is working well.
The staff at Hatfield Lodge seem to do a difficult and demanding job to the best of their ability and look after my mother as well as they can given the situation. It is good to know that on occasion when I have not been able to take her out someone from the home will go with her to the park for a...

My mother has some complex and challenging needs and the staff at the home care for her superbly. This really is what all care homes should be like.
Whenever you phone or visit the staff always go out of their way to find your relative and let you speak with them, even when they are clearly very busy.
The feedback from my mum (and previously my dad) was nothing other than positive. It is a care home but most of all it makes the residents feel that they are at home.
Thank you for your lovely review; it's a pleasure to be, and to have been, part of your parents lives. I will pass on your kind comments to the staff team.

My mother-in-law came to Hatfield Lodge following admission to the hospital and subsequent discharge. In the hospital, she was confused, unhappy and delirious. We have been so impressed by the care she has received at Hatfield Lodge. We could not ask for more in terms of her needs. She is clean, warm, and comfortable and is now smiling. She even has a glint in her eye which we've not seen for a long time. We are so happy with the decision taken for her to be there.
Thank you for your complimentary review, it's so lovely to hear that you are happy with all aspects of the care we provide for your mother-in-law, she is a beautiful lady, and it's an honour to be part of her life, and yours!
My wife has been at Hatfield Lodge EMI/Residential Home for three years and nine months and has always received the very best of care. She has always been treated with dignity and kindness. The staff are considerate and welcoming when I visit twice a week. Thank you to you all at Hatfield Lodge!

For things I find not good for my family and friends, parking is a must for family, friends and services. Hatfield Lodge has not got a parking spot/bay even for an ambulance, to pick up and return old people to Hatfield Lodge- offloading on the road is very hazardous and unsafe, and this needs to be addressed.
Unfortunately, due to current circumstances, I can't visit, but I can always ring and talk to her.
