  • Hartwood House Care Home, Lyndhurst
Hartwood House is a home set in its own extensive grounds and beautifully landscaped gardens.

The bespoke care home has been created through a combination of new construction and the comprehensive refurbishment of a former care home, keeping the exterior and the very best features of the original building. The result is a safe, appealing and comfortable home for its residents which fuses modern innovation and traditional pleasures.

Located in Lyndhurst, the heart of the New Forest, Hartwood House also lies within easy access of the City of Southampton and the South Coast.

A fully-trained, compassionate and caring team has created an exceptional care home equipped with spacious bedrooms with private, en-suite wet-rooms on three levels, of which one floor is a dedicated dementia community. In addition, there are ample spaces inside and out to enjoy both companionship and privacy.

It is the difference between caring at work and caring like family, between listening and truly understanding and between eating a meal and enjoying an experience. If you need help finding care, Hartwood House are determined to be the difference you need.

On every visit we find all the staff extremely helpful and very friendly. My Mum is very well cared for and respected by the staff, as are we when we visit. The accommodation is clean, bright and comfortable and the food excellent. It is good to see Mum joining in the activities. The staff are always
very attentive and ready to help.

Hartwood House arranged a fantastic birthday party on 18th October to celebrate my mum's 100th birthday. They arranged for a singer to entertain Mum and the residents in the morning. They provided wonderful party decorations, a magnificent tea and birthday cake and a separate room to use for family
and friends. In addition to this, the home arranged for the birthday card from the King and Queen to be delivered to the home and presented to her by the Deputy Lieutenant of Hampshire on behalf of the King. A fabulous and memorable day. A big thank you to all staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My grandmother was welcomed in with open arms and constantly sings the staff's praises about how helpful, patient and kind everybody is. The room is always tidy and clean and she has everything she needs 24/7. The home provides plenty of activities for the residents to do to keep their minds and bodies
active, but there's no pressure to force anyone to do something they don't want to do or are unable to do. All of her needs are catered to, including doctors appointments, hair cuts, podiatrist appointments etc. The staff really are wonderful and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my grandmother is well looked after in her final years. Couldn't be happier.

What a wonderful community this is, my grandmother is happy, healthy and engaged. It's been amazing to see her improve after assisted living in her twilight years (carers in her home). Hartwood House feel makes me realise how well a community for the elderly can be managed, supporting residents whilst
maintaining dignity for them, and the families.
Thank you very much to all staff and external stakeholders for the service.

Since visiting, we have noticed a great improvement in our loved one. She appears happier and healthier than she has over the last couple of years. She talks about enjoying the food and that she looks forward to the daily activities.
It has made spending time with her much more special as we don't
have to worry that she's being left home alone or what she will eat.

I cannot speak highly enough about Hartwood House. All the worries about my mother have been lifted as the care and compassion of every single member of staff is amazing. It really is Mum's 'home' now, and this is possible because of the staff. They all seem to enjoy working there so much, and this
attitude comes from the management and filters down.

My mother came to Hartwood House for what was to be a 2-week period of 'respite care' for my sisters & myself, who had been looking after her around the clock. This soon changed to palliative care. I cannot praise everyone at Hartwood House enough from the management team, to the wonderful nurses, amazing
carers and the rest of the staff. Their kindness, understanding & compassion have always been present as well as their generosity with their time and allowing us to sleep in another room. They truly are all angels, and I will be forever grateful that they gave us such a haven of peace, calm & loving support as we said farewell to our mother.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.929)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.929) out of 10 for Hartwood House Care 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 73 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 73 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 4.929 for Hartwood House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (808 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 864 Ratings = 4.929
  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 Hartwood House Care Home is based on 73 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 73 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.
