My sister arrived in the home and I was concerned that she would not settle, however our fears were unfounded as she settled straight away as far as we were concerned. The staff are always friendly and helpful and it’s a pleasure to visit.

I see on a daily basis how hard staff work. I and my family are so grateful for their care of my mum. Especially during the horrendous time they have all been through. I'm very grateful for all their sacrifices on our behalf. Mum says how kind they are to her. Can't ask for more than that.

Thanks to everyone at Hesslewood House Care Home.

It was difficult for me to get Hesslewood but this is the best home and was what I wanted for my mother. She isn't the easiest of ladies and she blames me for everything but with the help and support of staff she has settled and got used to it and made friends, she now joins in with activities which
over the last year I have watched on the internet facebook page. Over covid, the home has gone the extra mile. I have been treated with dignity, caring and sense of humour and constant updates about my mom.

Overall been really happy with this home for my dad. It's always clean and tidy, and the staff are always really nice and friendly. Whenever I've spoken to one of the night staff, they don't always seem to know what's going on. I think they organise a lot of activities within the home, but not always
many going out (pre-Covid).

We are unable to visit because I am vulnerable. It is such a relief to know that my mother-in-law is happy. She is clean, tidy, warm and well-fed.
She always enjoyed going to a local restaurant for meals and to know she can still see the peacocks is a great joy for us. She thinks of Hesslewood as
her home now.

My relative was very unwell a fortnight ago-needing attention from the paramedics.
The staff nurse I spoke to last week about her was very understanding about her condition and needs and spent quite a long time talking to me. I felt reassured that my relative was in the best place possible.

Mum has been in Hesslewood House for six years and the whole family are very happy with her care. The staff are all wonderful with her as she has to be cared for in bed. If we gave any worries or concerns we know we can always speak with the manager. All staff are very approachable. Through these difficult
times, they have kept us well informed of Mum's health. You have all been fantastic! THANK YOU!

Review from Elizabeth L (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 July 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum went into the home in May 2019 after breaking her hip initially for respite care. Despite her being 'difficult' in her early days there, the staff were always kind and patient with her. She is now a full-time resident after failing to get enough mobility back to return home (she is in her 80's).
She is settled, has a lovely room overlooking the parkland, is happy, mixes well and joins in the activities, albeit these have been curtailed due to Covid-19. It was a lovely gesture to have a drive-by both for the residents and relatives/friends, the joy on the residents faces expressed how happy they were. I cannot thank the staff enough for their commitment and care during this virus and also under 'normal' circumstances. Look forward to visiting once normal circumstances resume.

Review from Angela D (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 June 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My Dad has the early onset of dementia so at times, with his confusion, he has become stressed and wanting to come "home". He seems more settled now and has accepted where he now lives and I can honestly say he is quite happy there. The staff are kind and have a good banter with Dad which is what he
loves, he loves being cheeky and having a laugh with them. He likes helping out and the staff encourage this where safely possible. As a family, we do believe the staff try hard with Dad, especially around his personal hygiene. As a carer myself having worked in care homes I know from a personal level how difficult it can be to try to persuade a resident to have a regular shower. Perhaps a little more encouragement would be great from the staff, I know it's hard when dad may say no but with a bit of cheeky banter and time, I'm sure he would give in. I appreciate every effort made and other than that I feel dad is in the best place with caring staff that try hard in all they do.

I am really grateful for the care that my husband is getting. I have always found the staff helpful, professional and willing to make every effort to make him comfortable. Although I haven’t been able to visit recently because of the restrictions, I have been able to talk to him on FaceTime, and this
has been because there has been someone able to help and make sure the phone is available. I was very impressed also with the way a Drive-through was organised, so we were able to visit our relatives outside at a safe distance.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mum has been in the home since September; it took her quite a while to settle and then came lockdown.
I have to say I think the staff have gone above and beyond the call of duty, level of care is excellent obviously during the lockdown period activities and entertainment are severely curtailed so
boredom does set in with the residents quickly, the isolation for the residence is kept to a minimum by the staff by doing drive-by viewings etc.
From my family's point of view, our mum has been in the home in her early stages of dementia has been a godsend for us all from a care point of view, and may I take this opportunity to convert our deepest gratitude to each and every member of the staff, thank you.

They have been looking after my Daughter who has Huntington's disease for over 5 years now and nothing is too much trouble for them. She can be very difficult to look after at times and they never complain. Her best interests are always put first.
They treat her like family and my daughter has almost
from day one called it her home.
They are a wonderful group of very caring people and to the staff, I would like to say a very big thank you for the care you give to her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident for over a year. She gradually went downhill to be bed bound and paralysed down one side.
In her final days of life, I sat by her bed 10 hours a day for 5 days. The staff were very sensitive to my emotions.
The staff were caring, attentive and took care of me as well as Mum.
I cannot thank them enough!
Her room was cleaned daily and she was clean, warm and dry.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.442)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.442) out of 10 for Hesslewood House Care Home 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 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 4.860 for Hesslewood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.86
  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 4.582 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hesslewood House Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.682
  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.
