I couldn't be happier for my father to be cared for in the way he is at The Halliwell. The genuine affection from staff, the range of interesting activities, the beautiful spaces and the total respect with which individuals are treated. It is a happy community and I enjoy stepping into it every time I visit.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful and heartfelt review. It truly means a great deal to all of us at The Halliwell.

When I returned from my holiday, Mum decided she would like to stay there and went into a newly decorated room with a terrace outside.
The Halliwell is such a lovely, warm and welcoming place, everyone is so friendly and the staff are lovely.
From the very beginning, we were welcomed as part of the family. Visiting Mum feels just like visiting relatives, and that means so much to us. I couldn't be happier with the care Mum receives, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone at the Halliwell for helping her feel so happy, comfortable and at home.
They also organise fun outings and family events. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful and there are quite a few areas you can relax in.
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind and heartfelt words. It means the world to the whole Halliwell team to hear how happy Mum is and how much she feels at home with us.
From the outset, our focus was always on Mum making sure she felt comfortable, welcomed and supported, and that she had...

A special mention to the managers, Alison and Karl, who consistently went above and beyond-not just for my mother-in-law, but for our whole family. Their leadership, kindness, and genuine compassion set the tone for the entire home, and it really shows in the way every member of staff cares for the residents.
Every member of the team treated her with patience, warmth & respect at all times. Communication was always clear and reassuring, which meant so much to us.
The home itself is warm & welcoming, and it's clear that the staff truly care about the people they look after. Knowing she was in such good hands brought us great comfort during a very difficult time.
We will always be grateful to Halliwell and recommend it to anymore who needs care.

Halliwell provides a wonderful environment for my mother - caring, fun (yes, fun!) and extremely professional. Everybody, from the receptionist through catering staff to carers and nurses, is unfailingly helpful and cheerful. Cleanliness and the quality of the facilities and the food are all excellent. It isn't cheap, but one really does get a very high level of service for the fees.
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review. We're truly delighted to hear that your Mum continues to enjoy such a positive experience at Halliwell. It means a great deal to us that you've noticed the care, professionalism, and warmth shown by our entire team.
We're especially pleased...

Respite care for 3 weeks is best shown in the impact on mum's spirits and general wellness. She is relaxed, positive and cheerful - more of which were traits showing at Christmas time. She has loved the company of residents and staff alike and felt welcomed and immediately comfortable. Lovely ambience in immaculate surroundings, and the care was faultless. Thank you.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review.

I was very impressed with the way Halliwell managed the extremely difficult situation of no running water over several days!! Thank you.
Thank you very much for your kind words, they are truly appreciated. It was a challenging situation, but I'm proud of how the whole team came together, with everyone playing a part to ensure the home continued to run smoothly and with minimal disruption. Maintaining a "business as usual" focus was...
All excellent - care, accommodation, menu - particularly good. I intend to come again once or twice a year.
Thank you for your kind words about Halliwell. We truly appreciate your feedback and look forward to welcoming you back again soon.
The food is excellent. There are lots of great activities on offer, for those who want to get involved and the staff are making a big effort to get my mother involved, taking her to try out various activities etc
The home is light, bright and spacious with lovely gardens and great pathways for getting some exercise.
We are very happy with Halliwell, as is our mother!
Thank you for leaving such a positive review of which I will make sure I pass onto the team.
My father has just spent 3 weeks at Halliwell, Tunbridge Wells. We have been very pleased with the excellent service, facilities and care provided. My father has also been very complimentary, especially about the staff who have been excellent. Thank you to Alison and the team.
Thank you so much for your kind words, and am so pleased your Father is enjoying all that we have to offer at Halliwell.
He has enjoyed having a room with a patio door opening onto a well kept courtyard where he could go for his daily perambulations, with a little encouragement (from family members!)
Overall, I would happily recommend Halliwell Care Home. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're delighted your father enjoyed his respite stay and our welcoming atmosphere.
My respite stay was excellent.
Alan, thank you for kindly taking the time to leave Halliwell a great review. It was lovely to have you stay with us and you are welcome back any time.
Very good!!
Thank you G R for your positive review and 5 stars for Halliwell .
I visited most days and was totally impressed with the who set up at Halliwell, a particular member of staff who met us and went through things was just superb, the lady on reception whose beaming smile and warm welcome, made everyone feel special, and of course then the whole team on Floor 1 were just superb, kind, understanding and always very positive, my mother couldn't speak highly enough of them all.
The entertainment and activities also played a very bit part in her mental wellbeing and these were very well organised too.
Other than one meal my mother enjoyed all her food and was very happy with the choice so that you chefs and the F&B team.
The home and grounds are immaculate
Well done and a very big thank you
Thank you for kindly taking the time to leave Halliwell and the staff such a positive review. I am delighted to hear that your Mother enjoyed her stay and that she is back to walking independently and continuing to recover well. I am pleased that she enjoyed the activities and food as these are...
