As always, I have no complaints about how my grandmother is cared for. She is very happy and settled. She always says nice things about the staff. Thank you all.

Thank you for the lovely feedback; it is much appreciated.
Lovely visit with Dad each week. Garden walks, and Duncan, the guinea pig cuddles, plus ballon gamed with other residents. Dad is so much calmer these days and very content at Hawkinge House - he has mentioned to me that he loves it here! As a family, we feel very happy that Dad has settled so well...

Thank you so much for the lovely positive feedback.
Lack of basic continuing care, falls way below the standard described and paid for. Many residents continually ignored. Respect and dignity lacking.

Room is big but flooring is bad, needs new carpet. Needs more staff to look after the residents. Staff seem to be okay with residents but need to be more vigilant and aware of what the residents do. They are always friendly. Receptionist is friendly and informative. They do email well to keep family informed. New residents must be aware of personal possession (rings, watches) can go missing. Maybe do not take them in.
Many thanks for your feedback and for the positive comments on the staff. We have already ordered new flooring but it has been badly delayed due to current supply issues.

Thank you for taking my wife into your care. From day one I had to admit the security, cleanliness and attention my wife was given. For the first 14 days, I was allowed to talk to her every night. Since then I have visited every other day so the rest of the family and others. Though Hawkinge House is 15 miles away I could not wish for a better place for my wife, she has never complained, she is getting lots of TLC and all her family thank you very much for your dedication to your work.
I like my room at PAU (Proactive Assessment Unit) Hawkinge House because it is big and I can move around in my electric chair. I have made friends. I like the gardens. The food is ok.

I like my room at PAU (Proactive Assessment Unit) Hawkinge House because it is big and I can move around in my electric chair. I have made friends. I like the gardens. The food is ok. I am looked after. I have my meals when I want. I am listened too. I have support from other people. This is a nice place. I am going shopping with staff and buy what I want, it is better now I have my scooter to get me about a lot more. My room has a fridge so I can put my drinks and snacks in there. I am here to be supported to get me home safely.

Value for money is one area that I cannot comment on as I was there as an NHS patient.
The care my mother received was second to none. Her suite was large and clean and presented a warm homely feel. Staff were fabulous. Always willing to help and often going above the call of duty to cater for my...
I come from a large family (my mother had ten of us) and we were all able to visit Mum at any time of day. I often visited as late as 3am. Mums final days were made comfortable and dignified, her family kept a vigil around Mum's bed and the staff kept us in food and drink and never once got tired of offering whatever assistance was needed. Excellent beyond words.
My husband has received the very highest standard of care and comfort since arriving at Hawkinge House 14 months ago. The staff have done everything to make my husband feel safe and secure at all times.

I started my journey in adult care in 2004 when I joined the industry as a care worker in the community, previous to this I had managed a dental practice but felt that a career in Social Care would be more rewarding. Since that time, I have worked my way through the industry to become an Operations Director, and then, finally, in June 2020, I joined Hawkinge House PAU as the Registered Manager of the brand-new service. Hawkinge House PAU is an assessment unit for patients that are leaving an acute hospital setting and require a period of assessment to establish their longer-term care needs. I am passionate about giving the best possible care to every patient that comes through our doors, regardless of their situation. It is always my aim to ensure that every patient who comes through the PAU feels heard and safe. I am supported by an amazing team that has a wealth of experience in the industry and shares the same goals and aspirations for the care that we deliver that I do.

With over 21 years of experience in the care sector, I have built a career dedicated to delivering exceptional standards of care and support. Currently, I serve as the Registered Manager for the Short-Term Care Unit at Hawkinge House, a role I have held for 3.5 years. In this position, I lead a team committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care that meets the diverse needs of our residents.
Starting my career as a carer, I have progressed through various roles, gaining hands-on experience and a deep understanding of the sector. My passion for care stems from its rewarding nature and the unique challenges and opportunities it presents every day. I am committed to fostering a culture of compassion, professionalism, and continuous improvement.

It’s been nearly 8 years since I started working here at Hawkinge House. I began my journey as a Registered Nurse, and today, standing as one of the Deputy Managers of the home, I feel both proud and grateful. Being able to care for people every single day has shaped me not just professionally, but personally as well.
Working in care has taught me the true meaning of compassion, patience, and responsibility. Every resident carries a story, and being trusted to support them through some of their most vulnerable moments is a privilege I never take for granted. The challenges have been many, but the rewards- seeing a smile, providing comfort, and making someone feel heard- have always outweighed them.
This field has helped me grow into a stronger person, and I am honoured to be part of a team that makes a real difference in people’s lives. I look forward to continuing this journey and contributing to the quality of care our residents deserve.
Josin has been with Hawkinge House since 2014. He is a qualified nurse and is the deputy manager for the short-term 2nd floor at Hawkinge House. He qualified as a nurse in 2015 and has a wealth of knowledge within the care sector.
