We cannot thank the team at Halliwell Nursing Home enough for the care, compassion, and dignity they showed to my mother-in-law during her five months there. From the very beginning, the staff made her feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for.
A special mention to the managers, Alison and Karl,
who consistently went above and beyond-not just for my mother-in-law, but for our whole family. Their leadership, kindness, and genuine compassion set the tone for the entire home, and it really shows in the way every member of staff cares for the residents.
Every member of the team treated her with patience, warmth & respect at all times. Communication was always clear and reassuring, which meant so much to us.
The home itself is warm & welcoming, and it's clear that the staff truly care about the people they look after. Knowing she was in such good hands brought us great comfort during a very difficult time.
We will always be grateful to Halliwell and recommend it to anymore who needs care.

I have stayed in a number of care homes in the last year, and this is by far the best. A major contributing factor is the local management who always go above and beyond, and nothing is too much trouble, which reflects in the attitude of the rest of the staff.
It's an excellent care home.

Halliwell provides a wonderful environment for my mother - caring, fun (yes, fun!) and extremely professional. Everybody, from the receptionist through catering staff to carers and nurses, is unfailingly helpful and cheerful. Cleanliness and the quality of the facilities and the food are all
excellent. It isn't cheap, but one really does get a very high level of service for the fees.

I spent a very enjoyable afternoon at the Halliwell on Sunday afternoon celebrating Mother's Day. The staff had made a big effort to make the dining room look special for the occasion. We were served a cream tea and a glass of Prosecco whilst listening to a harpist! The atmosphere was buzzing with
conversation and laughter, all enjoying quality time with their families and especially their mothers.
Well done, once again to the wonderful staff!

Respite care for 3 weeks is best shown in the impact on mum's spirits and general wellness. She is relaxed, positive and cheerful - more of which were traits showing at Christmas time. She has loved the company of residents and staff alike and felt welcomed and immediately comfortable. Lovely
ambience in immaculate surroundings, and the care was faultless. Thank you.

I was very impressed with the way Halliwell managed the extremely difficult situation of no running water over several days!! Thank you.
08 December 2025
All excellent - care, accommodation, menu - particularly good. I intend to come again once or twice a year.

My mother has been at Halliwell for six weeks and we are very impressed with everything. The Home is well run, safe and welcoming - the atmosphere is happy and friendly. The staffing levels seem high and all of the staff we've met are friendly, caring, attentive and professional. We are kept
informed by email of any changes of medicine, visits from the GP and so on, and we can phone to discuss, if desired.
The food is excellent. There are lots of great activities on offer, for those who want to get involved and the staff are making a big effort to get my mother involved, taking her to try out various activities etc
The home is light, bright and spacious with lovely gardens and great pathways for getting some exercise.
We are very happy with Halliwell, as is our mother!

My father has just spent 3 weeks at Halliwell, Tunbridge Wells. We have been very pleased with the excellent service, facilities and care provided. My father has also been very complimentary, especially about the staff who have been excellent. Thank you to Alison and the team.

My father has spent a very happy respite stay and Halliwell over July/August and has been generally been looked after well for his daily requirements. We chose this care home having visited others locally as it had a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
He has enjoyed having a room with a patio door
opening onto a well kept courtyard where he could go for his daily perambulations, with a little encouragement (from family members!)
Overall, I would happily recommend Halliwell Care Home. Thank you.

My mother recently stayed at the Halliwell for some Respite Care after falling,I just wanted thank everyone who was involved in her care and stay there, she went in a frail unsteady lady and has bounced back to her usual positive cheerful self and is back walking independently.
I visited most
days and was totally impressed with the who set up at Halliwell, a particular member of staff who met us and went through things was just superb, the lady on reception whose beaming smile and warm welcome, made everyone feel special, and of course then the whole team on Floor 1 were just superb, kind, understanding and always very positive, my mother couldn't speak highly enough of them all.
The entertainment and activities also played a very bit part in her mental wellbeing and these were very well organised too.
Other than one meal my mother enjoyed all her food and was very happy with the choice so that you chefs and the F&B team.
The home and grounds are immaculate
Well done and a very big thank you

All the staff are very caring and competent, and the rooms have a lovely feeling to them, the grounds and gardens are beautiful and I am glad that my friend ist being cared for at Halliwell and accompanied in her last journey.
14 July 2025
I have left a note to all the staff here for their 'First Class' attention with respect to all their various duties and their politeness. I hope to be returning in September for another 2 weeks. Until then, all the very best to all, and thank you all very much.

My father has been at Halliwell for nearly 7 years. He has been very happy here and we have felt he is extremely well cared for.
We love the fact that he is busy with so many activities to do and that he has made so many good friends here.
The staff are always cheerful and helpful.
My father
does really feel that this is his home and we are grateful for that. Halliwell feels a very personal and homely place, where the residents are a big part of the way things are run. I particularly like the small touches such as the reception area with the art group's work on display as you come in. If anything, I'd like to see more examples of the residents' activities in the home.
07 July 2025
The staff could not have been kinder, more welcoming or professional. They were able to respond swiftly with respite/convalesence when Dad, who is usually independent at home, was recovering from a dip in his health just before we were due to be away for a week. They were very sensitive to Dad's
understandable uncertainty and preference to keep himself to himself. He's so much stronger after his stay and thinks another stay when we are next away is a good plan. Thank you.
11 June 2025
The atmosphere in the Halliwell is just wonderful from the moment you enter the reception until leaving. The staff are all the most caring, conscientious and loving group one could ever wish to meet. Mum was so happy at Halliwell, and I feel truly blessed that she spent her final days with them. Her
whole stay of 14 months was superb.
27 May 2025
The staff and care are both excellent. A very pleasant atmosphere. Loads of activities if you want to participate, and beautiful surroundings and gardens. The gardeners work really hard to maintain this.

I want to thank everybody at Halliwell for the splendid way that they helped us celebrate the anniversary of VE day.
While virtually all residents can remember the magic of the day itself, I doubt if any of the organisers had yet been born. Nevertheless, they gave us a memory packed few days. The
food was great, and our "street party" special.
We celebrated "Founders Day" playing various Games with valuable prizes, followed by our own Well Singers in concert, and finishing with a splendid Barb-e-que.
On VE day itself we were entertained with VE day topical music by a top-grade violinist/singer/dancer,
At 12 O'clock we observed the 2-minute silence, and then a flag decked dining room for lunch. A high-quality meal, yet again.
I do not believe that our carers, our chefs and kitchen staff, together with our activities team could have worked harder to give us a better time to enjoy our memories, to celebrate our Victory, and to honour our fallen.
Thank you.
A resident.
