My friend was a resident for 6 and a half years and died there in February of this year. She has Vascular Dementia and I was very impressed with the staff management of this progressive condition. She was given a lot of individual attention and support and seemed content with her life there. The...
The regime is relaxed, food varied, good range of activities.
I have no complaints at all. Everything seems to run smoothly. My brother does keep falling but they always let me know. I just wish they had the time to spend a few minutes with me to let me know how my brother is as I haven't been to any of his assessments.

My experience is relatively short but from what I've seen, the staff seem very helpful and caring. Food appears satisfactory and nutritious.

I observed each and every one of them, regardless of rank, interacting with the residents in such a caring and compassionate way. Nothing was too much trouble for any of them, it was so lovely to witness.
I cannot speak too highly of them.
I would and do, recommend this home to all and sundry.
We find the home very clean with very good food. Few of the staff could be a bit more pleasant, but mostly they are all OK. We always get coffee and biscuits when we visit.

The best home in town! It is always nice and clean and my mother has been there for thirteen years.

The staff at Hartsholme House cared for my father until his death earlier this year and my mother continues to enjoy their wonderful care. The sensitivity, understanding, attention to detail and personal care provided by all the staff, goes far beyond what you would normally expect. The family has peace of mind that 24 hours a day our mother is well looked after and safe. She feels part of the Hartsholme family rather than simply a resident and is able to participate or not, as she pleases, in a wide variety of activities, entertainment and events throughout the year. She staff are very family focused. Not intrusive, but even at the most difficult of times offer a quiet and generous support that makes it possible to deal with the darkest hours. Mum's occasional medical needs are well and promptly attended to and we are always consulted. If care at home is no longer practical, I would have no hesitation in recommending making Hartsholme House part of your family.

My wife has been at Hartsholme House for many years. I am very satisfied with the care and love she receives. She has put on weight because the food is good and the carers support her with all her personal needs to a high standard. I have never had any reason to complain. I went out for a meal at the weekend and it was nowhere near the quality of Hartsholme House. I have recommended the home to others.
It is a good home. I have been here 18 years and never regretted coming here. The staff are very good. It is my home.

Mum has been at Hartsholme House for 6 months now, and is settled there. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and mum is well looked after. I would be happy to recommend this home to anyone, as it has a warm, caring atmosphere and lovely staff.

My father has been a resident at Hartsholme House for four and a half years. I have found the care, the cleanliness, stimulation for the residents and food is very good. Even though it is an older building the housekeeping staff do their best to make the place homely, like china mugs and cake stands on the tea trolley. Photo's on the wardrobe doors of father Christmas giving each resident a Christmas present. I pick out two staff the housekeeper and the lady that washes and irons my dads clothes with such care. It would be nice if sometimes staff took the residents our for a walk.
