Review from M W (Sister of Resident) published on 19 June 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My brother looks in excellent health and he likes everyone there. He definitely is well looked after and has a really good social life. I recommend this home without a doubt. He is more confident and the manager has said he speaks a lot more now and interacts with staff.

Review from Carol A (Sister of Resident) published on 15 May 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sister has been at Halland House for 40 years and now needs 1-1 care. The staff really care about her and understand her needs very well. She can be very stubborn sometimes (e.g. currently refuses to eat normal meals) and they cope with that brilliantly. They take her out whenever she is willing.
↩Reply from Amina Whitehouse, Registered Manager at Halland House
Thanks for your positive feedback. I will definitely share with the team and we will continue to provide care and support that your sister needs.

Review from Liz H (Sister of Resident) published on 14 May 2025 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My sister has been happy at Halland House for 40 years and is the oldest/longest standing resident. I hope that Halland House will be able to care for her as she grows older/frailer and needs more care and attention.
