I cannot praise Halcon enough, they are always cheerful and welcoming.
My brother is well looked after, they absolutley make a massive impact on his health and general well-being.

Our son became unwell - waking up in the morning with breathing difficulties. He was admitted into hospital with a severe chest infection. When in hospital the manager of Halcon visited on a regular basis as did some staff. They made sure that our sons needs were met and that the hospital staff were
made aware that he was very unlikely to communicate about wheather we was in any pain, thirsty, uncomfortable, need to pass urine. It was essential that the nursing staff asked hime about his needs.

I visited one of the residents who was at Halcon on respite and was made to feel most welcome. I found my experience was extremely positive in every way and came home feeling so happy to have seen everyone there so happy - both residents and staff members.
Thank you everyone for making this
possible.

3 of us often visit our friend when she is at Halcon for respite care. We are so impressed with what we see on our visits. Halcon has a lovely atmosphere. The staff are always cheerful and helpful. They made us delicious coffee on our last visit in their new coffee shop. We know our friend
thoroughly enjoys her visits to Halcon.

Halcon is awesome. They have cared for my brother for years and I can't fault them.Kevin and staff are amazing there is always such a happy caring atmosphere. They are like an extension of our family and we all really appreciate what they have done for my brother over the years, including
organising a turly memorable 60th birthday party for him.
Highly recommend Halcon.

I have just returned home from my really great three week stay and have returned with all my Christmas shopping done so thank you for the accompanying trips which were lovely ..
As usual the whole ambiance of Halcon was welcoming, friendly and safe. It's clean, bright and cheerful and the staff are
lovely.
Lots to do and trips are organised in groups or on a one to one basis if preferred.
I particularly enjoyed the weekly meditation sessions you could join , very relaxing.
Halcon you never fail me ,thank you . You meet my needs both in my daily care and socially, you really all try so hard to please us all and on so many fronts are succeeding.

I like the fact that my wishes are taken into consideration with regard to my life and daily care.
On days when residents go out, they should be first up so they are ready to leave in good time without rushing. This does not often happen, which is frustrating.
Overall, I enjoy living at Halcon.

The Halcon Centre have cared for my uncle for over 30 years. The care he has received and continues to receive is second to none- the staff and residents are amazing and are always so welcoming whenever we come to visit.
My grandmother (Robert's mum) has visited him every week for the years he has
been here- she is also made to feel so welcome and part of their family.
There is no better feeling knowing your family member is cared for and loved the way Robert is.
A huge thank you to Kevin and all of the staff at Halcon for all you do.

Good week for my son. Would have liked to have gone out during his week. He did go to church on Sunday. A trip to the park, restaurant or shopping would have been nice. He was wearing someone elses trousers the day of departure, came home using someone elses sling, so his is still at Halcon. Missing
socks. Urine bottle came home stinking of urine.

Warm and friendly staff team, always helpful & professional. My brother loves coming for his stays at Halcon; he is stimulated and supported throughout the visit.
He loves the entertainment & the jolly atmosphere, always being included in the fun and patient staff support him with a smile. Fabulous
support for me as well, thank you.

My son has been a regular respite user at The Halcon Centre for the last few years and I can't rate the care he has received highly enough.
The attitude of meeting him where he is at and demonstrating interest in who he is as a person as well as caring for his physical needs, from both the
management and whole team has been outstanding.

My respite at this car home was meant to be a seven-day break. Haven't hadn't had any respite for five years. This is my first experience with respite initially they couldn't be kind enough almost overly nice, but that was a reason for that I will explain in a minute I'm a vegetarian I don't feel
like the cases for my dietary needs properly even though I paid 1700 pounds to stay for seven days turned out to be very stressful. I hadn't had a bath in literally five years. The first bath they gave me was really nice and warm and hot. The second bath they gave me was just warm. Even though they know it's a massive effort for me to get from my wheelchair to the bath being hoisted. I was quite shocked from previously being a professional earning 35,000 a year to be disregarded as completely disabled. They couldn't see past the fact that I was in a wheelchair that is not true that they are a really good place for disabled people on discharge, I was treated very badly. The manager was a very rude man

My sister always enjoys her stay at Halcon and I feel relieved to know she is in good and safe hands with kind staff.

I have been coming to this respite care centre for 15 years and I have always found that the staff are extremely helpful and professional. The rooms provide all the facilities one needs, hospital beds, ceiling hoist and fully equipped wet room bathrooms. The staff are all trained to use this
equipment and do so very safely. There are TVs in all the rooms. Being very close to the center of Taunton mobile phone signals are excellent. It has extensive grounds and they are used for outdoor events in the summer. You can get public transport to the center of Taunton and a large retail park is not far away including multi screens cinema and bowling alley. There are staff specifically employed to help the respite and long-term clients with activities like arts and crafts and also group activities like bingo. They also organise outings. Three meals a day and unlimited coffee and tea and of course, biscuits are provided by a kitchen which seems to be open 24 hours! Five Stars.

Halcon Centre literally saved me during an incredibly difficult time.
The manager is an absolute tour de force and will go the extra mile to help in any way he can. He really is exceptional. There is a fabulous camaraderie amongst all the staff and I felt comfortable and very well cared for during
my stay. The whole centre radiates fun and unity and I cannot wait to go back!

Halcon Centre is an excellent respite care home. The staff are caring, kind and helpful and the home is well led with the management taking an active interest in all the clients. I have been able to take part in activities that I would not have been able to enjoy at home ie. a cinema visit. Well
done, this home has improved massively since my last day five years ago.
