An exceptional experience for Dad and our whole family
We cannot thank the whole team enough for the care, kindness and dedication they showed my dad, David, during his two-week respite stay in August.
Dad's stay was arranged so that he could attend his daughter's wedding, which was an incredibly special family occasion. Without the support and care of the team, having Dad there to share such an important day simply would not have been possible. It meant an enormous amount to all of us.
From the moment Dad arrived, he was made to feel welcome, safe and genuinely cared for. Every member of staff we encountered was friendly, attentive, compassionate and kind. It was clear that they went above and beyond not just to meet his needs, but to make sure he was happy, comfortable and included.
Most importantly, Dad absolutely loved his stay. He settled in so well that he was genuinely sad to leave and return home. As a family, seeing him so relaxed, happy and at ease while away from home wa

The individual and flexible responses to residents was admirable and reassuring. From a late breakfast, or a timely cup of tea offered to a visitor or patiently helping a resident decide what they wanted to do next.
Food was excellent, activities varied and the thread of kindness was felt throughout the home.

Respite care was required for 7 nights to cover a family wedding. As the distance was too far away to leave mum safely at home we chose Hartwood house as local to mum. As this was the first time she had stayed away from home we wanted the best experience for her. We were not disappointed. Everyone was so friendly caring and helpful. Beautifully appointed room with a welcome card and bouquet on arrival. All the services were first class and we knew mum would be well looked after. Would definitely recommend Hartwood house a five star experience. Well done.

My mother is well cared for at Hartwood House. She loves the food and the staff and is stimulated daily. As her dementia progresses I am sure she will be cared for appropriately and have no qualms about her being there.

After being in hospital I was looking for a care home to provide some respite care for my Dad who has dementia. I can't praise Hartwood House enough. They made the transition from hospital to the home as stress free as they could and were so kind and reassuring. Hartwood House is beautifully decorated and has lovely facilities, the garden areas are a real bonus as Dad loves to be outside. They provide a full itinerary of activities and entertainment too and Dad is certainly making the most of all the delicious food! Above everything else what really makes Hartwood House so special is the staff. You are really made to feel welcome and almost part of a family, they are all so warm and friendly and nothing seems to be too much trouble. Dad was initially booked in for two weeks but this has been extended as we love it there so much!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful feedback.

We are delighted to hear that your father's transition from hospital to Hartwood House was as smooth and reassuring as possible during what can often be a challenging time for families.

Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us. We strive to create a supportive environment where residents and their families feel valued and at home, so it is lovely to hear that you feel part of the Hartwood House family.

The home is beautifully furnished and his room has many of his own personal possessions which are looked after by the carers as they would be in his own home.
The home is clean and also smells nice , like your own home.

I cannot fault the care but I find Management very slow to respond to emails. I also was shocked at the annual increase which equates to £700 a month and this is around 9%. This means our money is dwindling. Never once in the time my relative has been there have they checked in for any financial support check we are ok. Our money will run out in around 8 months. There's never a suggestion of chat to us. I feel really quite disappointed with this. I find the new manager less friendly than the old one and overall I am not feeling particularly happy with the home right now. Just to be clear a recent review put costs up at £8k per month. Up by £700 per month. Care staff are lovely but I feel management is a bit of a let down.

What I DoAs Deputy Manager at Hartwood House, I help lead the day-to-day operations of the home, working alongside residents, their loved ones, and our dedicated team to create a warm, supportive, and caring environment. I am committed to ensuring that every resident receives high-quality, individualised care that promotes independence, wellbeing, and dignity.
My role includes supporting and developing staff, monitoring the quality of care provided, and helping to maintain the highest standards across the home. By fostering a culture of compassion, respect, and teamwork, I strive to ensure that Hartwood House remains a place where residents feel safe, valued, and truly at home.
My ExperienceI began my professional career working for a global investment bank, where I developed strong organisational, leadership, and people management skills. After having my two boys, I took the opportunity to reflect on what I truly wanted from my career and decided it was the right time to pursue my long-standing passion for working in care.
I started my journey in the care sector as a Care Assistant, gaining invaluable hands-on experience supporting residents and their families. Driven by a desire to make a positive difference, I progressed into a Care Coordinator role before being promoted to Deputy Manager. Each step of my career has strengthened my commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred care and supporting teams to provide the best possible experience for those we care for.
About MeI am incredibly proud to be a mum to my two wonderful sons, who are at the heart of everything I do. Family is very important to me, and I love spending quality time with them whenever I can.
Outside of work, my greatest passion is travelling. I enjoy exploring new places, experiencing different cultures, and creating lasting memories with family and friends. In fact, I almost always have my next holiday planned, as having something exciting to look forward to is something I really enjoy. Travelling helps me recharge, gain new perspectives, and bring positivity and enthusiasm into both my personal and professional life.

As Admissions Advisor at Hartwood House, no two days are ever the same — and that’s exactly what I love about my role. From welcoming families for their first visit, to guiding them through the enquiry process and helping them make informed decisions, I am here to ensure every interaction feels personal, supportive and reassuring.
My Experience:With five years’ experience in the care sector, I truly feel I have found my calling. Supporting families at what can often be an emotional and uncertain time is something I consider both a responsibility and a privilege.
Before moving into care, I worked in hospitality, where I developed a genuine passion for working with people and delivering exceptional service. That background has shaped my approach — I believe families should feel listened to, valued and completely at ease from their very first conversation with us.
For me, this role is about more than admissions; it’s about building trust, creating relationships and helping families feel confident that Hartwood House is the right place for their loved one.

What I do:As an Activities and Wellbeing Coordinator at Hartwood House, I am passionate about creating a vibrant, engaging, and person-centred environment for residents. My role focuses on enhancing quality of life through meaningful activities that promote physical, emotional, and social well-being.
I design and deliver a diverse programme tailored to individual interests, abilities, and life histories—ranging from creative arts and gentle exercise to social events and community connections. I believe that every moment matters, and I strive to ensure each resident feels valued and included.
My Experience:I began my career in care shortly after finishing my education, starting as a Care Assistant. In this role, I discovered a passion for engaging residents beyond their daily care, particularly through activities that brought enjoyment, connection, and purpose to their day.
I began supporting the Activities Lead and quickly grew in confidence and creativity, learning how to plan and deliver inclusive, engaging programmes tailored to individual needs and interests. This experience led me to progress into the role of Activities Lead myself.
Now, I combine my care background with my passion for wellbeing to create meaningful activities that enhance residents’ quality of life, ensuring everyone feels valued, included, and supported.
