Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were impressed after our initial tour of Hawkhill House for my mum who has dementia and didn't feel that we needed to view anywhere else. Hawkhill House is very homely, the rooms are a good size and all with ensuite and tv's. It has an open-door policy so you can visit at any time, staff allow access
and is therefore very secure. There are daily activities displayed on their wall which we like to look at. The staff are caring and treat residents with dignity. Mum has settled in and appears relaxed and happy there. Relatives are encouraged to make suggestions and feel involved. Excellent overall.
Reply from Mel Shearer, Home Manager at Hawkhill House Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so pleased to read your positive comments about your mum’s care at Hawkhill House and it is lovely to hear she is settled in at the home. Your feedback will be passed on to the team who will be delighted with your 5* review.

Review from Mike T (Husband of Resident) published on 8 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
When I felt I could no longer care properly for my wife at home, I was very apprehensive about her moving into a nursing home.
From the moment I entered Hawkhill House, I was impressed by the general atmosphere and friendliness of the staff I met. Sadly, my wife was only in the home for four days and
was unable to take part in activities other than watching the lovely pantomime put on by the staff. Throughout that time, everyone was extremely kind and caring and I knew she was being very well looked after.
I was impressed by the professionalism of the staff and the very obvious positive team spirit. It was clear that everyone enjoyed their work in Hawkhill and this good feeling is transmitted to visitors and residents.
The manager should be very proud of the team she has built up.
Thank you all very much for helping me and our family through such a difficult period in our lives.
Reply from Mel Shearer, Home Manager at Hawkhill House Nursing HomeThank you, for your kind words and recognition of the team at Hawkhill House. We are sorry for your loss, and we are pleased that your wife received the care that she deserved while she was staying with us. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

My father is 96 and was admitted to Hawkhill House, a couple of weeks ago. Since that day, I have felt a sense of relief that my father is being so well cared for. He says the food is ‘first class’ and the nurses and staff are kind and caring. My experience with the Manager and her staff is that they
are exceptional, kind, knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Every time I go to visit my father, they tell me where and how he is in the home – before I even ask.
I first rang Hawkhill 2 weeks ago to get help for my father (I live in New Zealand and had just arrived). The Manager and a senior Nurse came and assessed him within 3 hours, and with both his and my agreement, moved him into the care home the same day. Since then, his appetite, general demeanour, mobility and conversation have all improved beyond expectation. I can only thank them all for their continued kindness, calm professionalism and genuinely caring attitude, which prevails throughout Hawkhill House.
Reply from Mel Shearer, Home Manager at Hawkhill House Nursing HomeThank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

When I first came to visit my aunt, I was unhappy with what I saw and smelled. After having the opportunity to attend a family meeting, one nurse was very kind to answer all of my concerns, share the care plan and address my concerns.
It's very difficult to live so far away and depend on others to
care for her.
I am going back to my home secure in the knowledge she is being well looked after.

I was invited to join my mother in preparing and then enjoying the meal which was cooked in situ. It was a great opportunity to bond with my mother in a scenario just like we used to do when she lived independently. It was also a lovely opportunity to engage with the 2 nurses who were in charge in a
non-professional capacity and have a general chat on a range of issues.
I must praise the range of activities on offer at Hawkhill House. My mother loves to participate in them. The meal, too, was delicious.

I have found that nothing is too much to ask of the staff who are all too willing to help if there are any questions you have regarding medical or nursing care. Each time I have visited Mum I have been made extremely welcome and always asked if I would like a cup of tea. I can only have praise for each
and every member of staff at Hawkhill House Nursing Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I highly recommend Hawkhill House Nursing Home.
The dedication of care from the staff is outstanding.
My auntie is thriving and healthy thanks to the amazing care she receives.
The basics of cleanliness and nutrition are wonderful.
For me, the amount of activities and organisation the staff do
day-to-day is just outstanding, and the compassion shown to every person there is just the best.
It was a sad day when, because of dementia, my aunt could no longer care for herself, and I had to find a home for her; however, choosing Hawkhill care home was indeed the best decision I could have made.

Hawkhill is an excellent nursing home, the staff are all very caring towards my aunt, taking into account her changing needs and frailty.
Communication cannot be faulted, as I am contacted regularly and as and when there is something the staff consider I should be advised of regarding my aunt.
Having
now been living at Hawkhill for almost 8 years, I am still confident I could not have found anywhere better for her.

I visited several local nursing homes before deciding on Hawkhill House Nursing Home for a very elderly relative. After nine months under their care, I am relieved to find that my relative is happy, well looked after and has improved both physically and cognitively beyond my expectations. The management

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Hawkhill House Nursing 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 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 4.876 for Hawkhill House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (220 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.876
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hawkhill House Nursing Home is based on 21 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Everyone has a unique set of skills and talents, and I want to help our residents to both utilise and build these. In a great team of colleagues, I want to play my part to the full to help both residents, those close to them and my colleagues all thrive individually and collectively.
