I was delighted by the care my husband received in what turned out to be the last weeks of his life. The staff were friendly, helpful and courteous to me, and in fact it was a pleasure to visit my husband in these surroundings. As his life drew to an end the care and concern were beyond praise for both him and me.

My dad received a terminal diagnosis following tests and an extended stay at our local hospital. With his appraisal, he was placed at Halcyon House formally for palliative care. The care he has received at Halcyon House has been excellent. The staff are genuinely caring people, they do all they can to make his last few months as bearable as possible.
I can't thank Halcyon House enough for all they do for Dad.

I visit the resident once a week for allocated half-hour as her 'named' visitor while Covid restrictions continue to allow visits in residents own rooms. Staff are very polite and friendly. I am told the varied food offered each meal time is excellent.
The activities coordinator is very much appreciated by my friend I visit. I cannot comment on 'value for money' as I do not know the charges in this resident I visit.

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.

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?
