I am a volunteer for Hickathrift House. I help to set up for their events and fairs. I can honestly say I have never met such a great team! From managers, care staff, activities, housekeeping and maintenance, it is obvious they have passion in their roles and this reflects in the residents who all appeared happy. I recently helped set up for the summer fete in August and was honoured to meet their eldest resident of 101!
Thank you Pete, your comments are really appreciated and I will pass them on to everyone that was involved in making the Summer fete a success.

My mother has lived at home with us as a family until this year and at 92 it was decided reluctantly that due to erratic work commitments, we could not provide adequate care cover even though still very able in many respects. Nervous of ensuring she would cope in the new environment, socialise, and make a home, we selected Hickathrift on first impressions as everyone has to. However, she has settled extremely well, is very well cared for in every respect and we too are made most welcome at all times. Everyone involved seems to be on the same page about quality of care and interest in the residents and set out to ensure they are comfortable, happy, from the care staff to the cleaners, gardener and handyman. Very professional and highly recommended and an environment that breeds trust in the safety of your relative.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write us such a lovely compliment and expressing your appreciation for the team here at Hickathrift House.
We are so pleased you chose Hickathrift for Mum. we are happy to know that you trust in the care, quality and safety of the residents that live here.
She is well looked after. The staff are brilliant. The food is delicious. The place is spotless.

My mum has been at Hickathrift for a year now and although her dementia has increased, the staff remain calm and kind and continue to treat her as normal as possible. The most beneficial part of her care is that most of the staff live close by and remain constant so my mum knows them all and feels safe with them. She has lots of niggly ailments associated with dementia but the district nurse comes very quickly and dresses her very tender skin when she knocks herself. I have to drive a long, difficult journey to visit her and it is a tremendous relief to know when I leave that she is being looked after well and is safe.

Caring for the elderly can be very difficult, it is not always strait forward and can be very easy to find faults. Some families can find faults simply because they have to pay! Hickathrift is fortunate in that the building has been laid out in a very spacious way, it is bright and clean and as...
The staff are well skilled at all levels and well chosen for their individual jobs. They are conscious of their responsibilities and we as a family are kept well informed of any possible issues at all times. We feel assured that our mother is receiving the best care in the best place given that many variables can be forced into the equation when making a decision to place a loved ageing parent into a residential care home. Many might say that they couldn't possibly do that. Most of our family are still active with work, "Mum" needs people around here, that type of care would simply not be possible if she were to live with any one of us.

I would like to commend the staff at Hickathrift House. This is particularly to say that the deputy manager, unit manager and care assistant have supported me so strongly with updating care and the welfare of my Uncle.

My two parents needed admission at the same time after a series of falls and illness. Hickathrift were able to take them a week apart as their needs are very different.

My mother has been a resident at Hickathrift House for over 5 years having been diagnosed with vascular dementia. The care she receives from the dedicated team of staff is exemplary. The attention to detail of the personal 'little things' in life makes Hickatrift a home rather than an institution and the building of the new lounge will enable the residents to relax in a communal area with all the comforts of home. With an emphasis on individual care and attention, Hickatrift offers a happy, safe, caring environment for dementia sufferers or those no longer able to remain independent. The valuable support showed to family members having to witness the decline of a loved one cannot be measured in words. I will be eternally grateful to the staff at Hickathrift for making my Mum's twilight years as happy and comfortable as possible. I would welcome an increase in the entertainment budget but am fully aware of the economic constraints this poses, however, we can live in hope.

The home is very pleasant and the carers are very nice, however, it does sometimes appear that there aren't enough carers to deal with things. My mother often requires 2 people to move her and there often aren't 2 people available. This means that my mother, who is extremely independent then either wets or dirties her pads, which she hates doing. This then makes her miserable. She also feels she is treated as someone with dementia.

I started my role at Hickathrift as a night carer in 2011, and have worked my way up through the roles since this time, such as senior carer, Night Manager and now Deputy Manager at the end of November 2022.

Hello, my name is Kerry Ann and I am I the Head of our Residential Community here at Hickathrift House.
I joined Hickathrift House in 2018 as a Senior Care Assistant and then became the Head of the community in 2020.
During my career, I have gained my NVQ 2 and 3 in Health and Social care for adults and firmly believe the care I give to our residents should be the same as if they were my own family.
I like to make myself approachable to all our staff, residents, and their families. There really is no place I would rather be and I love working alongside the team here at Hickathrift House.

Away from home, Julie loves to knit; this is a hobby and a passion she has transferred into the home, often joining in with the knitting activities taking place.

Hello, my name is Barrie, I moved into Hickathrift House in 2021 and have a great relationship with the staff and residents here. I became the resident advocate for Hickathrift House in March 2022.
I like to help residents express their views and be a friendly ear when they need it. Should there be any areas of our life here that anyone would like to discuss or suggest, such as nutrition, activities or cleanliness, please contact me and I shall bring it to your attention at the next Residents' Meeting?
