My aunt has been a resident at Haydon-Mayer for a number of years and continues to benefit from the first class care and loving environment. She is happy and in amazing health as she advances into her 100th year! That she is doing so is in no small part down to the efforts of the manager and her wonderful
care team.

Whilst waiting for staff to administer personal care to my mum, I waited in the day room, two residents sat making conversation without any prompts explained in detail how 3 new members of the team were showing they were an integral part of what makes Haydon-Mayer a happy place. They both spoke highly
of how needs are met before a tidy room making them feel special and spirits lifted. The lady previously a nurse could easily see the potential the young man displayed to further his career in caring. How lovely to hear the man thank a member of staff for his delicious meals too.

My mum went into Haydon-Mayer following a stay in hospital for continuing care. The care she received was amazing. The staff are so attentive and compassionate not only to mum but to us as a family too! My dad is now in there too as he needed nursing care and we wouldn't hesitate to to recommend Haydon-Mayer
to anyone looking for the upmost care for a loved one.

On the whole, given the crisis in the care industry, Haydon-Mayer perform as well as can be expected. The carers and staff treat our father with sensitivity and respect and he is happy here. It's a great shame that at present there is not an activities coordinator on site. There always seemed to be
a buzz about the place but sadly no more.

My mum was a resident at Haydon-Mayor for just over 3 years until she sadly passed away recently. She was always treated with the utmost respect, dignity and love by each and every one of the staff, even during the times mum could be a little challenging as her dementia took hold. We were always made
to feel so welcome and were kept informed at all times by the management about mums care. We could not have wished for a better care home, and will be forever grateful for the care she received.

Sadly my mum passed away on 25/01. She had been a resident in the home since December 2021. I wish to express my sincere thanks to all the wonderful staff for caring for my mum in a compassionate loving manner. I could not ask for a better 3 and a bit years of seeing mum so happy and well cared for.
Thank you all!

The staff at Haydon-Mayer have done a fantastic job of looking after my mum. Everyone is so friendly, professional and welcoming. My mum now considers some of the staff her friends, and enjoys having her little chats with them when they come into her room. I haven't been there when her food is served,
but Mum says the food is excellent! Nice location with plenty of parking available.

My long-time friend and neighbour has recently moved into Haydon Mayer which was not his choice. When I visited him today, I was speechless, he was up out of bed and sitting in the lounge chatting with other residents. It was so nice to see him like this again. His room is clean and tidy and the staff
are so welcoming.

The care for my mum has been first-class. People here are kind, and caring and treat my mum with dignity. They also have arranged to get her walking a little on a frame which is a miracle. The activity coordinator is fantastic and is always putting a smile on the residents's faces.

My mother is never down or depressed, a bit sad when she sees her children leave the home. Always clean and fresh looking and well looked after. Love how they put her hair up and make-up on. Seeing people keeps her strong. Love the pictures of all the care home doing activities. Thank you all for looking
after our mother and keeping her how she likes to look and face the world.

Whilst overall, I am happy with the care I am receiving at Haydon-Mayer, I feel that I should point out that one evening, about one week ago, I was in extreme pain and very uncomfortable. I had to wait at least two hours for assistance after pressing my alarm. I appreciate that you may have been busy
and possibly short staffed but I do think that is too long to wait and sincerely hope it will not happen again.

My mum was moved to Haydon-Mayer after a horrendous month in Hospital. What a contrast! All the staff at Haydon Mayer treated her with such kindness, respect and professionalism. As she neared the end of her life she was not conscious much of the time but the team continued to treat her with the utmost
respect and dignity. They were also very kind and patient to me at such a difficult time, which I am so grateful for. We did not know anything about Haydon-Mayer before she was moved there but based on our experience I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thank you so much to all at Haydon-Meyer.

I have found all staff approcahbel and must emphasize ancillary staff especially, although the same for medical staff too. Most importantly the kindness shown to my sister is excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.594)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.594) out of 10 for Haydon-Mayer Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.594 for Haydon-Mayer Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (96 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 286 Ratings = 4.594

  • b) 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 Haydon-Mayer Care Home is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
