All rooms are tastefully decorated and there are several communal areas where residents can relax and socialise. Staff are from an experienced care background and individuals are treated with dignity and respect.

Three tasty and nutritious meals are served up daily by the home's resident chef, who will take any special dietary needs into consideration.

Talk to the team about respite stays:

Abbeyfield are proud to offer respite stays here, a short-stay that can be planned ahead, or in the case of an emergency, last-minute. Suitable for individuals seeking support following post-operative or hospital care, or whilst their regular caregiver takes a break, respite care can also be used as a way of introducing long-term residential care to a loved one.

Respite stays include:
- 24/7 care support from qualified and friendly staff
- Daily activities
- Nutritious meals served daily (dietary requirements can be catered for)
- Housekeeping and linen service

*Respite prices may vary depending on needs.

This property is managed by Abbeyfield Living Society (a trading name of The Abbeyfield Society).

Review from Alan V (Son of Resident) published on 23 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have always felt that our mother was well cared for at Halcyon House and that she was safe and comfortable.
The staff always appeared caring and attentive, and this was demonstrated during her final days when their consideration for our family and for Mum's dignity could not have been bettered.
They went out of their way to see that all of our needs were met, and we shall always be grateful.
Reply from Suzanne Brammer, Digital Marketing Officer at Halcyon House

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review Alan, we are very pleased that your mother was well cared for and received the dignity that she deserved. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

No concerns regarding Mum's care - excellent. The website mentions outings including pub lunches, shopping and visits to local attractions. Haven't heard of any?

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.468)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.468) out of 10 for Halcyon House 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 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 6 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 4.900 for Halcyon House is calculated as follows: ( (64 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 70 Ratings = 4.9
  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 4.568 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Halcyon House is based on 6 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 = 3.6
    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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 6.2 = 0.968
  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.
