Our mother spent 3 weeks in respite at Hengist Field. When she arrived her mobility was very poor due to a fractured hip she sustained in March. She was keen to participate in physio and immediately began sessions with Tony.
On arrival, she was greeted and welcomed by the entire team including
Tony.
Within a few days, her mobility and walking distance improved remarkably -truly mind blowing progress.
Every single member of staff we met were friendly , easy going and lovely. It was clear she was treated as a human being who could make her own decisions.
Our mother felt as though she had been on holiday for 3 weeks, happy , cared for and well looked after.
A big thankyou to the management team for their input and support during her stay.
If your'e considering Hengist field we would highly recommend them . The warmth of the staff, the proactive rehabilitation, and the respectful treatment of residents make it stand out

Always a pleasant visit, everyone was so helpful. The barbecue and entertainment were exceptional. Loads of food (delicious). Thoroughly enjoyed the effort. You thought of everything. Well done to all the Hengist staff.

I love Hengist, I almost live here, I come to see my sister every other day and stay until her supper. The care and pride the staff take is amazing, and the safety of the residents is ensured. How they put themselves out to help with so many events. I would never ever want my sister to be at any
other home. When she arrived at Hengist after being in hospital for six months, they didn't think she would live, but she has fought back and today she is amazing. Thank you Hengist.

Mum has settled brilliantly at Hengist. This is due to the carers being very friendly. The entertainment has really helped Mum to continue to have an excellent quality of life. There is such a range of activities that she enjoys. The food is always delicious, and Mum benefits from having a varied
and balanced diet. The reception staff and the managers are always super friendly and helpful to us as a family. My dad and I love coming to have lunch with Mum. I don't think we could find a better home. Thank you so much!

This is a very nice care home, the staff are very friendly and helpful, very caring towards my nan and hard working.

I am overall happy with everything, not that I can comment on activities, as my friend will not be hoisted out of bed to join in anything. Such a shame when there is so much on offer.
She is generally happy.

Really happy with the care provided. Mum loved all the carers & nurses & they loved her.
On the negative side, a little more planning for end of life wouldn't go amiss. Agree on a plan with funeral directors, etc, before it's needed.

My mother wanted me to have a treat on my birthday so she told the staff when it was and requested a cake be made and the table on which we had a Sunday lunch be decorated. There were banners and balloons with happy birthday on and 4 staff members brought in a cake singing happy birthday to me.
The lemon based sponge/cream cake was truly scrumptious and the whole surprise event was special as so unexpected. Pictures were also taken. My mother was very pleased and thankful for all the effort staff had made on my behalf.

My mother-in-law was a resident here for 6 months, she sadly passed away in February this year. I can honestly say her care was outstanding the support workers were very caring towards my mother-in-law, the activity coordinators were very enthusiastic, and the kitchen staff always made sure
residents were happy with their meals and often changed them to suit individuals. The housekeepers were very pleasant always having a chat with my mother-in-law when putting her clean clothes away. The ladies at reception were always willing to help with a smile, the hairdresser always engaged with the residents. The nurses were professional and one of them always kept us up to date with any concerns we had the managers were very easy to talk to and were involved with residents. I loved that they knew all their names such a personal touch and the volunteers gave up their own time to sit and chat with residents. I hope I haven't forgotten anyone, a credit to you all.

Outstanding care, from everyone. Have the time to talk to you, very friendly. I would recommend to anybody. It really is like a home from home.

This is a lovely care home, and the day staff are excellent. They go above and beyond and the home is full of laughter. The activity staff are excellent too, and the activities are varied and plentiful. Mum is a fussy eater, which is a challenge, she does not always like the menu, but the kitchen
staff will offer alternatives. Sometimes it takes, what feels like, a long time to answer the busser for toilet trips. This can cause Mum distress and frustration. The communal rooms have been decorated to a high standard, and it is lovely taking Mum out of her room. Excellent gardens!
