My Mother has now lived at Hythe View for over a year. She has settled well and tells me she feels safe and well looked after. For its high standard of care, good leadership, the attentiveness of the staff, the way they treat all residents with compassion and dignity, this is a Nursing Home that exemplifies
all that is best practice. I cannot recommend it highly enough and I'm a retired former nurse.

As always I was greeted with a warm and welcoming smile from reception. The staff always very helpful and friendly. They were amazing today. It was my dads birthday and the team decorated the lounge and prepared and dressed a table and organised a birthday meal including a homemade cake for dad and
the family. All the staff sang happy birthday and made such lovely memories. I could never recommend this nursing home highly enough. 5 stars!

If you ever need to use a care home for a loved one. This is the best by far, there is so much respect for them and the family I cannot fault them carers are lovely respectful make you feel so welcome and treat loved ones with respect and dignity also listen to how family members like to be treated,
and do there utter most to put in place what you ask for and always keep in touch of what is going on with loved ones. Have tried a couple of homes before this one and they never took anything into account also did not listen or respect the residents. Big 10000%

I have visited several care homes and Hythe View ticked all the boxes for my husband. Care is excellent. Feels like an extended family.
Most important - If my husband needs ongoing care, I wish him to stay here. I would quite happily live my last years, if needed, in this particular home Hythe View.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother is very content at Hythe View. She gets on very well with the carers who are passionate in the role they play in Mum's ongoing wellbeing. Forward planning has also been well managed, regarding her journey with dementia. I've heard positive things from other residents and relatives about the
move to fresh cooked meals, I feel far happier knowing Mum is eating fresh vegetables, especially greens and cauliflower. She loves broccoli and cauliflower especially. The activities organised enable me to have real quality time with Mum, I see her fun side and her quick wit. The rooms are spotless, smell fresh.

We are aware Mum is being cared for very well. Her care is excellent, and she is kept in a clean and comfortable way. Only get to see her weekly due to work commitments. My only one issue is we are not always kept in the loop regarding some appointments she had had until the very last minute, also we
didn't know a dentist was seeing her until we received a bill for four visits.
Reply from Angie Cooper, Client Relationship Manager at Hythe View

Thank you for the positive review about the home. I have advised the management team about appointments, so this is communicated moving forward.

I can't thank Hythe View enough, all the staff are friendly and kind and go out of their way to help. Dad has been in the care home for three months. He arrived on death's door and the staff, who were patient and kind have given Dad a new lease of life. My particular thanks go to the manager, home administrator
and other management staff who make Hythe View the special place it is. Thank you all so much.

My cousin came to Hythe View needing end-of-life care for terminal cancer. With this came high-end nursing needs too. The home did not let us down in our expectations at all of their care. Everything was done with professionalism but also with care and compassion. The home was clean, warm and welcoming
at all times. When the end came, again they were professional, caring and compassionate not only to my cousin but to our family too. Thank you to all!

Mum and Dad came to Hythe View for 2 weeks respite care following a stroke and a bad fall. This has been the perfect place for their recovery.
The accommodation (with sea views!) is luxurious and the care staff are delightful and have been wonderful to Mum and Dad.
From previous reviews, I thought
this would be a good choice but it has far exceeded our expectations.
I can highly recommend Hythe View.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Hythe View 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.856 for Hythe View is calculated as follows: ( (204 Excellents x 5) + (30 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 236 Ratings = 4.856
  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 Hythe View is based on 20 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 20 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.
