Overall Experience

We have carers with a capital "C" unfortunately, it is spoilt by those with a small "c". A supervisor is required in the kitchen to control issue of food. Capital "C's" will provide hot food on hot dishes and cold food (ice cream etc.) on cold dishes. The drink with meals will be provided with the last dish and not with the soup (the first dish). Would the small "c's" perform as above at home?
The residents here are aged and infirm; very few of them surviving and none of them, to my knowledge, having a voice. Carers in nursing homes should at all times, treat the residents as though they were their relatives (it shouldn't be difficult).

We were disappointed to read the comments made by one of our longest standing residents, which we feel are quite unfair and do not reflect the hard work and attention to detail that goes into the work that we do. All of our staff work extremely hard to provide high standards of care for our frail elderly residents, which is amply demonstrated by the many positive reviews we receive.
We openly welcome suggestions for improvements from all those using or visiting our services and we will of course discuss the issues raised by our resident and make adjustments where practical.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.

Dan is the Resident Experience Support Manager at Hythe View, having joined the company in April 2022. He brings with him over a decade of experience in the travel industry, where he worked as a cabin crew member and later as a Commercial Manager for a tour operator. These roles allowed him to travel extensively while developing strong organisational, customer service and leadership skills.
Today, Dan is much happier keeping his feet firmly on the ground. As a proud dad to two boys and a dog, family life is at the heart of everything he does.
Care has long been part of Dan’s story. As a child, he often accompanied his grandmother to the care home where she worked, witnessing firsthand the importance of kindness and compassion in later life care. Later, when his mother trained as a nurse, his respect for the profession deepened further. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Dan worked as a carer himself, gaining a true appreciation for both the challenges and the immense rewards of supporting residents and families during uncertain times.
These experiences confirmed his passion for the sector, and he is proud to play a key role at Hythe View, helping to create a positive, supportive and engaging environment for residents and their families.
