My wife entered Hurstwood View on January 17th 2024 and I have been very pleased with the standard of care and attention since that date. Their attention to detail is important in many areas of life but particularly in the Care Sector. Hurstwood View personnel have done very well in this regard.

What can I say this home is just great. All the staff are so friendly & helped my Mum adjust to her restbite for 2 weeks. This was Mum's second restbite here & she has obviously made lots of friends. On her first visit she was a bit anxious but this time she was very happy & relaxed. Which means when we need restbite care it's exactly that we don't have to worry about Mum at all we know she's getting the best care possible.

No complaints whatsoever. A very friendly reception with the most amazing staff. Nothing was too much trouble. The clinical staff and end-of-life care was excellent. Would recommend this nursing home.

As soon as you walk through the doors you can feel this is a special place. All there staff are caring and well trained. As good as it gets?

All the staff were kind, attentive and professional, from the manager, nurses and care staff through to the finance/admin team. The home has a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and lovely surroundings. Mum's room was spacious, spotless and well equipped. Mum moved to Hurstwood View following a terminal diagnosis and the nursing staff were incredible in their dedication to making her final weeks comfortable and dignified, and as a family we felt fully supported. I would recommend Hurstwood View Care Home wholeheartedly.

A purpose built, delightful, friendly, caring home with an uplifting atmosphere and a focus on enriching activities alongside the normal daily needs of the residents. The carers are genuinely lovely, very capable & attentive. Mum especially warmed to her carers. Mum's initial 2 week respite turned into 6 weeks. It was unfortunate that she couldn't become a permanent resident, since we could not prove the 2 years funding required. Nevertheless, the lady in the office, did everything possible to advise and support us throughout the process & Mum's respite stay. Would highly recommend to any family considering a care home for their loved one.

Hurstwood View is described by dad, 'like a 5 star hotel!'. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff, they are all so attentive and genuinely caring, patient and happy at all times. They also give respect to those residents who might just be happy to be in their own company and choose not to always join in the huge range of daily activities available. Mum was also there last year, if only for a few weeks, but at a time when her health was at it's most challenging. The care she received was outstanding, and the care they gave us as a family equally so. 5 stars from us all and many many thanks to everyone!

The staff are consistently helpful and extremely friendly. Nothing is too much trouble whenever we have any queries or requests for either management or nursing staff. However, the most important review of all can only really be from my parents who always say that they are happy and well looked after whenever I ask. Thank you.

Since resident has been living in Barchester Hurstwood View, 2022, I cannot fault the excellent quality of staff on all levels: compassion, care etc. The home is an extension of our family. They helped provide a wonderful birthday party today for my mother-in-law. We all had a wonderful day. Thank you Hurstwood View.

Just everything about Hurstwood worked for my father and family. He moved into Hurstwood Court, the independent living wing, some years ago. The staff in Hurstwood View were wonderful with him. Checking that he was safe. Providing him with increasing levels of support as, and when, he needed it. The option to be involved in as much, or as little, of care home life as he wanted provided him with activities, a social network and always ensured a hot meal was available if he didn't feel like shopping and cooking. After several years in his apartment, he eventually moved into Hurstwood View when it was clear that it was no longer safe for him to live independently. The wonderful staff there continued to look after him for a number of years until he eventually succumbed to his illness and passed. The care, compassion and dignity that all the staff show to all their residents, and their families, is truly wonderful. We are all so grateful to the manager and her team.

My husband is being cared for at Barchester Hurstwood View. I am so very pleased and happy that he is there. The staff are truly amazing. Everything is excellent, from the food to the activities to the administration to the maintenance, all of it. Nothing is too much trouble. This is an exceptional place where you know your loved ones are being taken care of and are safe. Thoroughly recommend it. A happy place.

I can't thank the manager and the team enough for how they are treating my father. Having had him in a previous home which wasn't great and where we felt he was restricted, Barchester Hurstwood View is polar opposite and such a relief for our family. The care, compassion and respect are second to none and a true reflection to the training and engagement of the crew.

A great home and we are eternally grateful to the manager and her team for their amazing work, delivered with such care and respect. The manager is a real pillar of support and is always there to listen and her team are super in helping and asking if you're ok and genuinely cares about the family too.

I am full of praise for this nursing home and for the considerable care that all the staff have shown to my darling husband. I thank them all. They show the utmost compassion for all the residents here. The vital thing that this residence shows, which is so important, is that there is love and when you have that, then you have it all.

I find Barchester Hurstwood View excellent for caring for the needs of the residents. All staff are extremely friendly and very helpful in all areas. The activities are very varied and nothing is too much trouble. There is a very friendly atmosphere around the residence with lots of smiley faces. I am more than happy that my family members live there.

The team at Barchester Hurstwood View work together to provide compassionate and supportive care for residents but with dignity for the individual. This is essential when working with dementia. Communication with family is good. Facilities are maintained to a high standard. Activities are well-organised and plentiful and resident-specific needs are accommodated (e.g. family gatherings). This is all so reassuring to family members. Thank you

Very friendly, capable and helpful staff 24/7. Excellent lounges and quiet room and cafe to meet guests.

Hurstwood View has been excellent in every respect. As POA and next of kin for Auntie our location some 300 miles away proved very challenging. We had remotely supported her for many years aided by intense home care support but her increasing confusion and distress demanded she move to receive continuous support. This she had persistently resisted but Hurstwood's reception and ongoing care proved very special. Her personal bedroom, the quality of food and the opportunity to make new acquaintances was great but above all was the kindness shown by all of the staff in making her at ease in this new environment. Of equal value was the staff's engagement with us. Being unable to visit we were rigorously kept informed on both the positive aspects of Auntie's residence but also sensitively guided through the challenges of her decline through dementia and ultimate end-of-life care. We initially gasped at the fee but can honestly say that it proved worth every penny.
