Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I visited my auntie recently. I was very impressed with the overall standard of the care home. The staff were very friendly and the home had a high standard of cleanliness. The first impression when you walk in is fantastic. As a registered mental health nurse, I was highly impressed.

Mam came into Hawthorn Court after a stay in hospital. She soon settled in and we feel she was welcomed into the home. Hawthorn Court staff are all very helpful and pleasant. The home is very clean and well presented.

Review from S T (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 February 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was admitted to the home on New Year's Eve. She was poorly and had experienced many falls at home and was unsafe in her own home.
Since her admission, she has gained confidence, eaten well, slept well and become increasingly mobile although blind she has been well supported by the staff. All
the staff are genuinely kind and caring and provide a high standard of care. All the residents always appear clean, happy and well cared for. The environment is lovely and kept to a high standard. I can't thank the staff enough for their excellent care and attention to mum.

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.

Review from Philomena M (Wife of Resident) published on 13 December 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
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.
Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Hawthorn Court Care Home

Thank you for giving feedback about your husband's recent stay. We are very sorry that you experienced any issues and thank you for giving us the opportunity to discuss these.

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.

Review from J A (Son of Resident) published on 2 October 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.975)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.975) out of 10 for Hawthorn Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 72 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 72 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 4.975 for Hawthorn Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (835 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 856 Ratings = 4.975
  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 Hawthorn Court Care Home is based on 72 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 + 0.1 = 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 72 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.
