Thank you for taking the time to review Havencourt. Your feedback is very important to our team.
Thank you to all the teams hard work and dedication to the residents.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a lovely review, the team at Havencourt really appreciate your feedback
I find all the staff excellent in their caring nature with everyone in the care home. The nursing staff keep one advised as to the health of the residents and their welfare is to my mind excellent. The residents are very lucky to have such wonderful staff in all areas of the home.
The home has had a huge overhaul over the last six months and exceeds our expectations. The cleanliness has improved 100% and the food quality and experience have improved. The staff are all fantastic, all the new carriers and long-standing are firm favourites. There is plenty of activities on and the staff all join in to make the residents smile. The management are always available to help and rectify any issues that occur.
It was ok.
Thank you for spending the time to leave us a review. We are constantly improving the environment at Havencourt and have an ongoing schedule of upgrades happening over the next few months. It is an honour to look after your husband and delighted you are happy with the care provided.
Twenty-four years ago both of my parents were in care homes, whilst my wife and I were not entirely happy with the care that they provided; they were still our best option. Before choosing Havencourt, I had visited several care homes and was impressed by how much they had improved, but Havencourt stood out for the very friendly and relaxed atmosphere at the home. My wife settled in quickly and appears to be happy and contented, and I know that she's getting the professional care that I was no longer able to provide at home. I feel strongly that the right choice was made.
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review. The staff at Havencourt are dedicated to providing excellent care. Providing a homely, loving and caring environment is central to everything that we do.
I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a care home for their family member. All the staff are really nice and genuinely seem to care for their residents nothing is too much bother. The home always has lots of activities. Good food, snacks etc., with good communication/updates.
My mum was in Havencourt Care Home for 6 months before she passed away in April. She settled very quickly when she moved in and had a very happy few months there. The staff at Havencourt are a great team and Mum enjoyed a lot of activities, particularly the ballroom dancing. I found the communication great as I do not live locally and any time I called I got to speak to whoever was looking after Mum that day. Spending more time at Havencourt when my Mums health deteriorated made me realise how much of a homely feel the place has and how happy the residents are. The home has a great team of professionals who are well organised, care very much about the residents and are a great support to relatives.
Thank you for your kind words Fiona, it really means so much to us to know we have helped in any way. We all hope you are well.
Overall view, Havencourt is a very cosy care home.
Thank you so much Melanie. We are grateful to have been part of the journey for you and your Dad. Hope you are both doing good.
I couldn’t recommend Havencourt more and thank them for their professional care.

A big miss for us all. Hope you are taking care of yourself.
We cant thank the staff enough for the support and care given to my Dad whilst he was in Havencourt care home, although he was only in for a brief short period before his passing, the care delivered will always be appreciated by our family. A special shout out to the team who made his stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much.
They have provided a professional but friendly service to cater for Mum's needs.
We have found communication with all the settings easy through face to face conversation, phone calls and emails.
The setting has a homely atmosphere with many different activities provided to encourage residents to participate.
Mum loves her spa days where she gets pampered for the day.
Mum has been a resident of Havencourt since July 2022. Her transition into the care home system has been made easier by the very kind, considerate, professional staff who make sure all her needs are met, and nothing seems to be too much trouble. We, as a family, feel the care manager and all the staff are very approachable and always keep us fully updated, which we really appreciate. They are always willing to listen and take on board any of our requests and are keen for us to be involved. The home is always clean, tidy and warm; it has a really comfortable, homely feel.
My father was in Havencourt for only six months and during his stay the staff were superb. Despite his frail condition, he was kept very comfortable until his final day. He was always smart and immaculate and that's a credit to the staff. well done and big thank you to all the staff who cared for my Dad. I know he appreciated you all.
