Although usually a loner she has made one or two friends which have helped her to settle. She has days of challenging behaviour but states she is happy in her new residence.

The food is absolutely disgusting! Cheap, not fresh, cold and texture of some foods like rubber. On a number of occasions, I have been so disgusted that I have had to go out and purchase food for my mother to eat. Something needs to be done about it!

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Hawthorn Court Care Home

I am unable to recommend a particular home as an advocate I present to my clients a balanced view of all provisions to the best of my knowledge.
I find the staff at all levels to be knowledgeable and very welcoming and approachable. They know their service users are very well and therefore able to
meet their day to day needs.

We were told my husbands' personal washing would be included in your price of one week's residency. This was not so, a printed message was pinned on the toilet door saying "family must do the residents washing". My husband complained that the food was never hot enough, I find my experience of the coffee
served was that it was a combination of water and milk with a minimum measure of coffee.

The manager and care staff are amazing at their jobs. They are caring people with compassion and empathy for their residents. I have great respect for their care for my family member. The transition from my mother in laws home to her new home has been seamless. The staff, from the manager, carers and
housekeeping staff are fabulous, nothing is a trouble for them. Thank you all so much, the whole family feel relief that their mother is in safe hands.

Generally good but we are concerned with the yearly increase in fees at 5.5% with a similar rise last year. We received the letter detailing this. We are happy when this extra money goes towards the staff costs and benefits for residents. (Eg the silent alarms - are they installed at Hawthorn Court
Care Home?) but not with costs for services that provide no help for residents eg improve WI-FI where it could be spent on activities.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Hawthorn Court Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about the home. We are very sorry that you were not fully apprised of the additional facilities made available. I can confirm that we do have a silent alarm system at Hawthorn Court. I would also like to point out that the introduction of wifi has improved communication for some Residents with families who live further afield and also allows access to different activities.

I have visited my friend on several occasions and have been very impressed with the building, which is so light and airy and very clean.
The staff on entering, could not have been more helpful and everyone is very friendly.
Naturally, my friend would rather be in her own home but she is comfortable,
extremely well care for and her room is lonely.

I moved my mother to Hawthorn Court Care Home on the recommendation of another family. I was concerned she would be disruptive and not settled but I need not have worried. The staff made sure my mother felt welcome and introduced her to doll therapy which my mother loves. The care is excellent and
both myself and my mother are very happy. It is the kindness that makes a difference and I witness that on a daily basis. All of the staff here made it a lovely experience and I cannot thank them enough. They are all so friendly and I am happy with my decision.

I found the home very clean and the staff and management very helpful.
The food/ meals are satisfactory, although I found it strange to have curry on the menu as I know my mother has never eaten a curry. Then again this might have been a one-off.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.942)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.942) out of 10 for Hawthorn Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 80 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 80 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.942 for Hawthorn Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (897 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 949 Ratings = 4.942

  • b) 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 Hawthorn Court Care Home is based on 80 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 80 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
