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.

Very welcoming entrance and smelling very fresh and clean and tidy. There is nothing that the staff won't do for our friend. Very accommodating, kind, caring and a personal touch can be seen. The special days arranged such as open days, are spectacular with everyone joining in to make a lovely atmosphere.
Meals and drinks are very well arranged, nothing too much trouble and visitors are made very welcome. Facilities are of the highest, lovely garden and gazebo and rooms are light and large. A very special home

Review from Ken F (Nephew of Resident) published on 18 May 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally good, however staff fall into different categories from excellent to poor.


Re Value for Money, it is difficult to say 'yes', as my aunt is a self-funder and annual increases abuse your dominant position of having a captive audience.


Home cleanliness is excellent and a safe, comfortable

environment. I find the manager very helpful.


Although better than a lot of care homes, whether such high fees are warranted is debatable.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I feel my relative is treated with dignity and respect by dedicated carers.
The only comment I would like to make which I think is extremely important is that the residents could be entertained more.
Very often they are in their rooms doing nothing.
There should be a lot more social interaction encouraged
to keep the mind occupied throughout the day and into early evening.
Simple things such as movie nights, making it special with ice cream and popcorn.

I would recommend this care home as staff have always been friendly and kind. The home is also very well maintained and clean at all times. I have worked/visited in other care homes and I have to say in comparison Hawthorn Court is of a higher standard. I have had no issues so far with the care of my
Nana.

I can only recommend Hawthorn Court for the standard of care. I find the staff extremely professional and friendly. I know my mother is being well looked after and all her meals are catered for. Communication with management and staff is excellent. I feel completely comfortable knowing that if any health
concerns arose, these would be dealt with both timeously and safely. It's a pleasure to deal with people who care about people.

The home is always clean and pleasant to visit and peaceful. My mother-in-law's room is very pleasant, well cleaned and comfortable and she feels very safe and secure there. The staff are always pleasant and treat residents that I have seen with respect, care and humour. They are hard working and always
engaging with the residents. The manager of the home is very good and hands-on and very approachable. The food appears to be very good and varied with regular refreshments. Personal care, cleanliness and well-being is very good with a good approach to dealing with dementia and it's associated problems.

My dad has lived at Hawthorn Court for 26 months and is very contented there. He particularly enjoys the social interaction in the dining room and on minibus outings. The home is decorated to a high standard and is kept spotlessly clean. All of the residents look well cared for and the staff are always
pleasant and friendly. Food is well presented, even for residents on a special diet, and the laundry service is very good too.

A lovely care home. The staff are very welcoming and understanding. All the rooms are decorated to a high standard and kept clean.


My mum settled in well and her needs are met by the friendly carers. She is encouraged to join in activities but chooses not to and her preference is accepted.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been resident at Hawthorn Court since 2013. As with most people having to find residential care for their loved ones, it is always a difficult time with severe misgivings. In my own experience, I have a great deal of involvement with elderly person residential care and nursing homes. It
was, therefore, with particular apprehension that we entrusted our mother into Hawthorn's care. I have observed how the friendly and informed interaction with all of the residents, has enabled staff to differentiate quickly between mood and behaviour changes. In my mother's case, this has enabled an early identification of health problems that have consequently been quick to resolve. The calm and friendly way that support with personal and intimate needs, has avoided her reacting negatively to being assisted. In her moments of lucidity, she manages to express how happy she is to be there and when she asks to go home, she means to the security of her room at Hawthorn. Creating a positive environment is a team effort, and good teamwork requires good leadership.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.981)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.981) 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 74 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 74 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 4.981 for Hawthorn Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (863 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 880 Ratings = 4.981
  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 74 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, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.05 Points for the next five 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 74 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.
