Review from R D (Grandson of Resident) published on 18 August 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
As the grandson of a resident, I can confidently say that this care home has been a blessing for our entire family. From the moment my grandfather moved in, we were welcomed with warmth, understanding, and genuine compassion. The staff treat him not just as a resident, but as a person-with dignity, patience, and kindness.
He often tells us how much he enjoys the meals, the activities, and especially the company. It's a huge comfort knowing he's safe, well cared for, and in an environment that truly feels like home. Whenever we visit, we see how happy and relaxed he is, and that peace of mind is priceless.

Thank you to everyone at George Hythe house for giving our family the gift of knowing our loved one is in such capable and caring hands. You've made a difficult transition so much easier, and we're incredibly grateful.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Customer Engagement at George Hythe House Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind feedback! We are so glad that your grandfather is happy and enjoying the meals and activities that we offer. We appreciate all of your trust in our team and are pleased to hear that we are able to make all of your lives easier in the process.

Review from Jacqueline A (Sister of Resident) published on 10 July 2025 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
The staff are lovely they, always make you feel welcome on arriving. In the three years my brother has been there he has never been happier. The entertainment is excellent and weather permitted my brother is always out.
The Home is clean and tidy. Nothing is too much for any of the staff and management. My brother relation and family love seeing the photos on social media and even they have seen the change in my brother.
I struggled terribly when I had to put my brother in the Home, calling the Home visiting all the time as I was so worried and concerned, but everyone was great reassuring that my brother was fine. Now when I go i am lucky if I get 5 minutes with him as he is so happy doing things he had never done before

I can not thank all the staff members and management for the marvellous job they do.

Reply from Alexandra Cooke, Customer Engagement at George Hythe House Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for your heartfelt review. It means the world to us to hear how happy your brother is and how supported you've felt throughout his journey with us.

Review from Timothy W (Brother of Resident) published on 29 August 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
A family member lived at George Hythe House for a number of months while an assessment was made for them to be transferred to supported living accommodation. The staff were always kind and respectful to their needs. The place was always clean/tidy and the food was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble. I would like to highlight the amount of activities available - both in the home and external. There is always something for the residents to do daily if they wish. Otherwise, they can retire to a quiet space and ask for support when required.

I was always welcome in the care home and could sit with my family members for as long as I wished. From the interactions I had with the staff and from what I have seen, I believe this care home to be of an exceptional standard!

Thank you for your heartfelt review and for awarding us 5 stars. We're thrilled to hear that your family member's stay at George Hythe House was positive.

A first-class group of friendly and caring staff supported by head office. My parents were residents, unfortunately they have now both passed away. We as a family made friends with all the staff and residents, you could not wish to meet nicer people. We cannot thank them enough and wish them all the best for the future.

Review from D B (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 August 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
It was a very hard decision to place Dad into a care home, we had heard so many horror stories of how residents were treated via media coverage.
My sisters and I have spent a lot of time in George Hythe House since Dad moved in the home six weeks ago. We spend hours in there and witnessed every part of the day. The staff genuinely care for our dad and all the residents. We have witnessed them attending their every need. After some recent scares with Dad, which has meant we have stayed with Dad in his room, they have showed compassion for Dad and support for us.
Anything constructive we have mentioned, such as the restaurant did not require tablecloths, the next day, new place mats were in situ and it looks very smart.

Leaving Dad in a care home was so hard, but we know he is in very safe hands. The staff are so caring and I believe they understand and empathise with how we feel.

Review from Martin M (Husband of Resident) published on 13 February 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My wife first entered stage one of her care in September/October 2018 (day centre) following a diagnosis of vascular dementia. Full-time care began in late September 2020. Throughout her care at George Hythe, the staff (new and old) have treated her with consideration and allowed her the dignity a once highly talented artist, teacher, wife and mother deserves.

Reply from Lara Howitt, Office Associate at George Hythe House Residential Care Home

Dear Martin, we have been honoured to care for your wife over the past years in all aspects. We are so grateful to be trusted with such a responsibility. Thank you so much for your kind words in regard to our staff and the care they give, I will be sure to pass this over to them.

My mum is happy, relaxed, settled and safe. Her clothes are always clean and she has frequent baths. She eats well-cooked food that she enjoys and is well cared for. There are fun activities for residents and their friends and family. Last year, Mum was taken on a day trip to Skegness. I am confident that George Hythe House has my mum's best interest at heart. If I have any concerns, the manager listens and acts.
