I have no reservations in recommending The Haven.
Thank you for taking the time to leave the review during such difficult and sad times. It was an honour and a privilege to care for your dad. I will pass on your comments to the staff at The Haven who really appreciate feedback from families. It is comforting to know that you and your mum felt confident in the care he received.
Amazing staff and fabulous support from all the staff, my dad has never been happier. I got married in September and the staff went out of their way to not just make sure my dad could attend the wedding, but supported him with his outfit and transport. It was the happiest I have seen him in years and without the help and support of The Haven this wouldn't have happened.
Thank you for the review. I will pass on your thanks to the team. Just glad we could help you and your Dad enjoy the day.
It has been challenging for us as a family having to put our Grandma/Mum in a home since the loss of our Grandad/Dad. This is the second home my Grandma has been in and I stress, the care is beyond comparison. The staff, especially the managers, are terrific, caring and compassionate, understand our anxieties and during these tough times and do their best to keep us informed. My Grandma has severe dementia, however, the staff converse with her about her family reminding her of us and treating her with the dignity she deserves. She seems to be as settled there as she can be. Honestly, the care and good communication do make a huge difference to a family who is grieving for who our Grandma/Mum used to be. It is extremely difficult as dementia takes away the person she used to be. However, she is still with us and the home is to be thanked for that. There will be challenging times but we are sure that the home will help us overcome these the best they can. Many Thanks.
Thank you for this review from one health care professional to another, it means a lot. I will pass on your appreciation to the team. We are humbled that you trust us to look after your loved one and will continue to do what we do best.
The staff spend time making sure she is comfortable and safe so as a family we thank them.
Thank you for your kind words I will make sure your comments are passed on to the team who look after your wife.
The care is 2nd to none, the only things I find fault with is not naming names on this form. I would really like them to know how much I am grateful to them for their warmth and care. Thank you all and God bless.
P.S. A small suggestion, the sign outside needs to be changed. It should read The Haven Nursing and CARING Home - because that's what they are.
Thank you so much for your glowing review. We are so pleased that the home can meet your needs. We strive to ensure that outstanding care is delivered to our residents as it is the least they deserve. I have congratulated the Manager and her team on obtaining your satisfaction and delight at the care you have received.
Dad has advanced vascular dementia and has been a resident at The Haven for two years after his previous care home closed suddenly after five years. Our first impressions were of a welcoming and caring environment and the manager showed kindness and reassurance to Mum and I that Dad would be well looked after in their care and two years later, how right she was. The care staff are just brilliant, they do an amazing job and Dad appears happy and healthy and they take time to give him and the other residents their individual attention. We used to visit four to five times a week, before the pandemic, and always received a friendly welcome from everyone, his room is always clean and tidy and he really loves his meals, which are varied and cooked to a high standard. I can’t thank the managers and their dedicated teams enough for keeping Dad, all the residents and staff safe during the unprecedented times of the current pandemic and the regular photo updates are a big comfort to us all.
Thank you for your kind words. We strive to always provide the highest quality of care with consideration and compassion and we really appreciate that this is noticed.
My mum moved into The Haven Nursing Home at the end of Feb. I was very nervous about her moving somewhere new, then became even more nervous when the lockdown happened due to the virus. I felt so guilty, almost felt like I had dumped her there and left her, as they aren't allowed visitors and I can't call my mum as she is deaf and has Alzheimer's. The staff have been amazing and one, in particular, has constantly sent me pictures and updates of mum and she is always so happy in the pictures and I can see how healthy she is looking since moving there. I am so grateful to all the staff who have gone above and beyond to help mum especially with the communication barrier with mum being deaf. The minute she moved in there, they were asking what they can do to making communicating with mum easier, going home after long days and using their own time to go online and learn some basic sign language, that to me is going above and beyond and I can't thank you all enough.
Thank you very much for this lovely feedback. I will make sure I pass on your appreciation to the staff. They have enjoyed learning sign language too. It is a pleasure looking after your mom and I am pleased you have reassurance during these exceptional circumstances.
My mother has always been treated with the greatest care and respect. The staff are absolutely amazing with her and it is obvious that she really loves them. I cannot praise them too highly. The management and admin staff are equally great, nothing is too much trouble and they are always ready to listen and advise. Lastly, the food is equal to any of the best restaurants I have ever eaten in.
I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to complete this review under these exceptional circumstances, your comments are greatly appreciated and will be passed onto the team. It is a pleasure and an honour to look after your Mum.
My husband has been a resident of the home for the past ten months. I am most impressed with the standard of nursing care and knowledge of individual residents. Carers do an excellent job; they have a good rapport with residents and treat them with kindness, patience and respect. All staff at the home are friendly and helpful. The catering staff provide an excellent, varied menu and adaptations are made to suit individual needs. My husband’s room has been refurbished to a high standard, and the home will have a more pleasant appearance when the current refurbishment of the communal areas and corridors is complete.
I will pass on your thanks to the team here at Haven.
Louise Jacox and the Team at Haven
The manager and her team are excellent. They have such commitment to their residents. True professionals.
Without their dedication and the excellent standards of The Haven Mum's last six years would have, probably, not been six years at all.
I have the highest praise possible for The Haven team in keeping their residents safe so far throughout this pandemic, which takes commitment, experience, determination and dedication.
I am glad we found The Haven for Mum's complex needs.
Louise Jacox and The Haven team
Mum was transferred at the beginning of January after being in the hospital for most of November and December. She was very frail and had complex needs, so required a great deal of nursing care, which the staff at The Haven provided to a very high standard, making her as comfortable as they could for the last few months of her life.
It is our privilege to meet and to be able to support people when they need our specialist support.
I would like to see a photo gallery of who's who, showing organisation chart, job roles, etc. on display.
We agree that a photo...
My father had been in this care home for only 10 weeks before, unfortunately, he passed away due to vascular dementia. My mother and I cannot fault this home from the minute he went in, all the staff, including admin team, were so caring and supportive, not just to my father but to my mother and I. The home is going through a full refurbishment at the moment but in the short time he was there, the progress was so quick. Not only that, the care towards my father was never impacted by all the work that was happening. The meals were fantastic, couldn't ask for better selection and quality. Staff were brilliant, so patient, nothing was too much trouble even in his bad moody days. We are so happy that his final weeks were spent being comfortable, cared for as if he was one of the family. Would recommend this home 100%. Thank you to everyone at the home.
Thank you so much for your lovely review which we will share with our staff team. We are delighted that our service met with your satisfaction, we pride ourselves on being a caring and compassionate home.
My wife came into The Haven Nursing Home on the 16th December 2019. She was met by a very welcoming management team and staff. It's a comfort to know that she is being cared for by a very caring staff who cannot do enough for the residents to make sure that they are kept clean and well-fed at mealtimes and what they did at Christmas was very special.
Carers are very helpful, nurses and staff are very helpful. The building needs upgrading.
Thank you very much for your review, I am delighted that you are happy with the care we give. As you may know, we are in the process of refurbishing the home which we bought in April and we are all very excited about how it will look once completed.
There have been teething problems with both her care and my mum settling in and settling down, but I think she is ok now.
The carers are really lovely with my mum and the meals provided are very good.
The only area I am not 100% satisfied with is the cleanliness of mum's room.
The night staff do not always finish off cleaning her room.
This has been highlighted a few times and hopefully, the new owners will address this problem.
My Nan had 2 periods of excellent care here as part of the hospital Discharge to Assess scheme after she fell and fractured her hip. If you visit this home please don't let first appearances be deceiving - When you arrive you may notice that the building is tired. I would even go as far as to say that at times it felt unclean. I am confident the staff are regularly cleaning as best they can but some carpets and furniture are in need of updating, which the new owners are now in the process of doing. That said, the care my Nana received at The Haven was fantastic. She was treated with kindness and respect from all members of staff and the physio/OT staff did a wonderful job of encouraging her to walk again (made more difficult by her dementia). The staff listened and helped every time we raised a concern or asked questions and it made a world of difference to us as family members to know that she was being looked after during her stay. Thank you very much to all the staff team!
Thank you for your kind words Fawn. I’m the new proud owner of The Haven. Staff are indeed excellent. It is now my mission to ensure the accommodation matches the high standard of care that the staff provide. Thank you.
I was admitted to The Haven after 3 months in hospital. The hospital physio had done nothing to aid mobility so when I arrived I had done no walking for nearly 3 months. After 1 week I am walking with a frame. Staff and food are excellent. I now am on the road to independence and home.
My father was admitted to this nursing home from hospital in July 2018, the staff were fabulous, he was looked after with dignity and patience, whenever we went to visit they couldn't have been more helpful, they looked after him until he died in early October, then they looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble when they were looking after my father, I can't praise them highly enough.
Prior to going into The Haven Nursing Home, my aunt had frequent stays in hospital as she was no longer able to adequately care for herself. Now a permanent resident at The Haven Nursing Home, she is cared for and has a much better quality of life.
