My aunt has been a resident here since 2019 and is very happy. She feels very much at home and the staff know her well. I am kept informed by the care staff who respond quickly if something needs attention. The care staff are very good and have my aunt's welfare as a priority. My aunt is treated with
respect and I am sure she is in the right care facility.

A very homely place with amazing staff, my dear dad was only here from the end of June until October- but the care was excellent. The staff are all lovely, they were very fond of my dad and enjoyed the banter with him. I can happily recommend hawthorn manor to anyone. The only downside was not having
a lift just a stairlift.

Reply from Tara Oakley, Customer Experience and Wellness Officer at Hawthorn Manor

Thank you for your kind words about Hawthorn Manor and our dedicated staff. We're glad to hear that your dad received excellent care, and we appreciate your recommendation. We'll certainly take your feedback about the stairlift into consideration.

Hawthorn Manor is a lovely care home, bright and colourful and with a happy atmosphere that you can sense as you walk through the door. The staff really do try hard to make the residents feel included in everything. The home has a varied range of activities for the residents and they are encouraged
to be as independent as possible. The staff care for people with compassion, understanding and patience. Equally as important is the fact that I am always kept informed of what is happening, in the home as well as to my mother and I trust them implicitly to notify me if they have any concerns, no matter how small. I feel that her care is a partnership between myself and the staff, which gives me great peace of mind.

A home that has carers that actually really care. 90% of the staff here really strive to go above and beyond for the residents and will bend over backwards to keep the residents happy. They get to know them well and try to treat them all as individuals. In particular, the activities staff really make
an effort to find what the residents are interested in and tailor the activities around that.
Generally nothing is ever too much trouble and they will try to find a way to please residents and families.
The only downside is when they have to use agency staff as they are nowhere near as attentive and knowledgeable as the permanent staff.

Reply from Tara Oakley, Customer Experience and Wellness Officer at Hawthorn Manor

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted to hear that our staff's dedication and personalised approach have made a positive impact on your loved one's care. We understand your concerns about agency staff and are in the process of eradicating agency use completely.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.749)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.749) out of 10 for Hawthorn Manor is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.9 out of 5 from 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.833 for Hawthorn Manor is calculated as follows: ( (40 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 4.833

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.916 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hawthorn Manor is based on 4 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.375

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.541

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
