We placed mum here for respite a couple of times before we left her here in full time care.
We visit 2 - 3 times a week to make sure Mum is happy and well. She has nothing but good things to say about the home and staff and seems really happy. Recently her health has not been so good and the
response and attention she has been given during this time has been second to none.
We have got to know some of the key staff and have found them to be personable, diligent and professional in all respects. We are very glad we chose this home. I would be more than happy to recommend this home to anyone who is in need of arranging care for a relative.

Such a wonderful place to visit with friendly
Staff and always greeted by Lisa who is always warm, kind, friendly and engaging.
Lisa always makes that extra effort. Dedicated and professional lady who tends to know everything that is going on around her and very aware of residents likes /
dislikes etc.

My mother has become a resident at Halstead Hall and I cannot thank the team enough for their care and kindness given to my mum and our family during the last few months.
The rooms and facilities at Halstead are excellent and maintained to a very high standard.
All of the staff without exception
have been professional, caring, compassionate and friendly and have guided us through this transition period and my mum is so happy and most of all feels safe and secure

Very friendly staff, warm and welcoming home. The home has been dramatically improved over recent years. Dad enjoys his time at the home joining in with activities when he is able. Would highly recommend Halstead Hall.

The staff at Halstead Hall are always professional and helpful.
From the admin team to the senior carers and everybody in between, we have been assured of their attention and care of our relative who has Alzheimer's and needs assistance with personal care.
We cannot thank you all enough for
making a comfortable, caring and loving home for everybody who lives there and will not hesitate to recommend you.

Our Mum has just enjoyed every aspect of Christmas at Halstead Hall. The staff were amazing and she thoroughly enjoyed all of the opportunities offered to her. From making Christmas tree decorations to singing carols, she enjoyed every minute. Christmas Luncheon was a superb three course lunch,
and while we didn't share it with her, it smelt amazing.
The caring attentive staff went all out to ensure everyone present had a wonderful Christmas time.

My mother in law has been at the care home now for over 3 years. She is extremely well looked after and is very happy with the staff and the home and facilities on offer. She speaks so highly of the activity staff who keep her busy with games, crafts and outings. Things she would never have done
at home living on her own. It has given her a new lease of life. The food that is served is of excellent quality and her personal dietary needs are catered for. Where we have had reason to contact the home, our queries have been taken seriously and answered to our satisfaction. As my mother in law is hard of hearing, Lisa in the office is a fantastic go between and goes above and beyond. I would certainly recommend this home to others.

My father has been in Halstead Hall for over three years now. From our first visit we were impressed by the cleanliness of the home and the lovely atmosphere it has. The staff are all fabulous and always friendly and helpful. The activities coordinators are always finding new things for the
residents to do and do their best to encourage the less keen to join in. The food looks fab and if my father does not want to wander down to the dining hall then his meal will be brought to his room. Overall he is settled now and regards it his home.

Fantastic care home, take great care of the residents.
They are wanting for nothing & have plenty of activities to keep them occupied.
All the carers are attentive & approachable.
Lisa in the office is always helpful.

My mum has dementia and has been at Halstead hall for over 18 months and I cannot recommend the home and the staff that work there enough. All of the staff are wonderful, caring & supportive towards the residents living there and nothing is too much trouble for them. They are such an excellent team
and are willing to go the extra mile for the residents and their families. The moment we first walked through the door when looking for a home for mum we knew that we wanted her to move in. The home has a lovely homely feel and welcoming atmosphere, is well decorated and very clean. All my mum's health and care needs are met and if ever I have any concerns (which is very rare), the staff are on it straight away. The activities provided and food for the residents are excellent. My mum seems very happy living there. I feel very confident that she is safe and being well looked after and can't fault the standard of care that she recieves. I would have no hesitation recommending Halstead Hall.

Can't fault the care and attention mum gets, she absolutely loves being at Halstead Hall. All the staff are great the activities are particularly good they're doing something with them more or less everyday. Food is very good, and we feel so welcomed when we visit. We really feel at ease that mum is
being totally care for.

My mum has been in Halstead Hall for some respite care. The day my mum arrived at Halstead Hall she was initially greeted by a senior carer, who immediately made her feel at ease and offered her a warm welcome. This warm welcome has also been extended to us, her immediate family, too. My mums room
is very clean and beautifully presented, with modern furnishings. All staff are incredibly friendly, polite and caring, and make my mum feel special by popping in for a chat to see how she is. My mum has benefited greatly from the activities provided each day, she's now a whizz at Domino's and card games, and has nearly knitted a cardigan at knitting club! The visiting Therapy Dog has also been a real treat for her.
The coffee area is a great place to go when we visit my mum, it's such a nice social space for all to enjoy. My mum has also enjoyed the variety and quality of the food provided.
It has been reassuring for us as a family to know that my mum is safe and so well cared for.

We initially placed my Mother In Law at Halstead Hall on respite care but in truth we all knew this would be permanent. All the staff have been absolutely amazing led by Heather and Lisa - First Class.

From the first visit to view Halstead Hall for our Mum, we were made to feel very welcome. Having to move Mum out of her own home after 60 years was a very difficult decision.
From the moment she arrived she was made to feel very welcome and the care she has received has been outstanding.
Her
care has been adapted to her changing needs. All of the staff are very kind, caring and attentive.
I would highly recommend Halstead Hall to anybody considering moving their loved ones there.

My mother has been at Halstead Hall for almost two years, her vascular dementia has worsened over this time but her care is adjusted to her needs. We are grateful for every member of staff at Halstead Hall for their ongoing care.

From the moment you enter you can feel the warmth and friendly atmosphere. My mum is wheelchair bound after a long stay in hospital and she found all the help and care she needed. Everybody goes out of their way to help and with lovely areas inside and great outdoor space could not ask for more.

Moving mum to Halstead Hall was the best decision we made. She is well cared for eats so much better now and even put on weight, the staff are kind and helpful which has helped her feel settled and comfortable, she also takes part in some activities and loves the animal visits which has helped with
her dementia.She has a lovely room now compared to where she was before which also has her own bathroom the staff make sure she is as independent as possible and help her with her hygiene when needed (washing her hair and clean clothing) since being in halstead hall her quality of life has improved and every now and then i still see a little bit of my mum shine through. The staff i have had the pleasure of meeting and have been caring for my mum are one in a million, seeing the care she gets helps me rest a little better and gives me the chance to spend quality time laughing and chatting with mum when i / we visit. Thank you to all the staff for the love and kindness you put in to the job..

My mother has been with Halstead Hall for a few months now. Her health has improved significantly since being in their care.
My mother had carers for the past few years now, but her health declined dramatically, especially over the past two years and home health care was no longer enough.
This
is when this home was recommended. So we viewed it, amongst a few others in the area and Halstead Hall stood out.
All the staff without fail are friendly, caring and hardworking.
I can honestly say this was going to be one of the most stressful and difficult things you have to go through when trying to find the right place to look after your family member, but i honestly can say, this is a safe place and i no longer have to worry for my mum

A great care home, my nan is very well looked after having only been here for a year. The staff are all kind, friendly and helpful, couldn't ask for much more.
Lisa in the office is a wonderful lady.
