My mother has been a resident for a number of years following several falls. Although her physical health is generally good she is no longer able to stand or move about on her own. The staff have been excellent in looking after her given the current situation.

The staff were very friendly and welcoming, kind and caring. My mother-in-law was looked after well during her week's stay at The Hawthorns.

Review from Hilary J (Niece of Resident) published on 5 March 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Hawthorns is a fantastic place for an elderly relative to stay in for respite care. The staff are so lovely and caring towards the residents. They encourage the residents to help themselves wherever possible, but are still happy to do anything that the resident feels is beyond their capability.
They are always available to take the time to update you on your family members situation. The room is lovely, clean and welcoming, and includes a small en-suite too. The meals are very good and there is always a choice available. The lounges are clean and welcoming, and there is a lovely conservatory in which to watch the outside world go by. There are also activities to take part in if you wish too. I would recommend this to anyone as a great place for your elderly relatives.

Reassurance on security starts at the front door with the sign in, bell call and staff welcome to this well-organised, lovely and clean home.
Carers always know in which attractive day room my mother is and how she is. My mother always looks clean and well cared for (supported by specialised bathrooms
and staff who care with dignity). My mother is invariably comfortably positioned in a high backed armchair on a pressure relief cushion with an activity in full swing. Every day a fruit platter is offered am and pm, tea/coffee/juice and a range of biscuits. Carers are constantly in evidence, supporting residents with varying needs. At meal times, residents are most kindly and effectively assisted into the beautiful dining room. Food is varied, looks and smells appealing. Recently my mother has not been well. The care and management team have worked diligently-promptly organising GP visits, medication, giving more care/attention and an alternative bedroom. This was to support her ergonomically, her failing spirits and to give us the opportunity to use the upper floor lounge and kitchenette with her.

Thank you for your very kind and warm comments, I shall pass these to the staff within the home. Myself and the team are so glad to hear that Mum is happy here and that yourself have faith and confidence with the care and support we provide.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
On the whole, I find The Hawthorns very nice and the staff very helpful. The residents seem well fed and kept nice and warm (sometimes his bedroom seems cold).
My dad seems to have settled down to what he was which is a big help to the family so hopefully, he will come to accept that he has to be here.
Reply from Allyson Attward, Head of Care at The Hawthorns

Thank you for your comments. Whilst at times rooms may be slightly cooler than others, this is due to the high standards of cleaning and to ensure good ventilation. We also ensure we respect resident choices with their rooms, as we strive to deliver the highest standards of person-centred care and honour the resident's wishes. Thank you for your support and comments.

I did quite a lot of research before deciding to have my father go into this nursing home. One year in and I remain impressed by the quality of care he is receiving. Care homes are not created equal. The Hawthorns is a cut above the rest.
Reply from Allyson Attward, Head of Care at The Hawthorns

Myself and all the staff at The Hawthorns are deeply happy that yourself and Dad are happy with the care. Thank you for your lovely comments.

The Hawthorns is a very clean and comfortable place for my mum. All the staff including cleaners and kitchen staff are all friendly and very approachable. The facilities are excellent. My mum has a lovely room that overlooks The Serpentine and she has her own washing/toilet facilities. There is a lovely
dining and living room for the residents. They can eat what they like, there is always a good choice of menu. The care staff are excellent and have the patience of a saint.

We are so happy Mum enjoys The Hawthorns and that she feels well cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for The Hawthorns is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.898 for The Hawthorns is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 118 Ratings = 4.898
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Hawthorns is based on 10 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 10 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.
