Mum has been a resident at Havencourt Care Home for over 4 years. She has a nice room, along with the equipment required to meet Mum’s needs which is supplied and is in good order.
Naturally, there have been changes in staff but overall there doesn’t seem to be a big turnover, which is encouraging.
In fact, some staff have worked there for a number of years which I feel is beneficial, passing on their knowledge of the residents, adding to the caring environment.
I have always found staff to be courteous, kind, friendly and approachable; nothing appears to be too much bother, working hard to keep residents safe during this dreadful pandemic.
The personal communication is very much appreciated. The manager, nursing staff and senior carers are accessible for any queries or updates. Any issues we have identified have been dealt with.
The recently appointed manager brings stability and has already been making improvements. On a personal level, she has been very helpful and supportive.

I was extremely satisfied with the love and care afforded to my mother during her 4-year stay at Havencourt. The home is characterised by local and long serving staff, who became like members of an extended family.
Havencourt is small enough to retain a personal feeling. During mum’s stay, it was
completely redecorated and was maintained to very high standards. Meals were wholesome and varied, and served in a very pleasant dining room, to restaurant standards. We were delighted when the home bought an electric piano so that my mum could continue playing music. This entertained the other residents too.
At the end of mum’s stay, we were offered great support and understanding by the staff. I would thoroughly recommend Havencourt to anyone looking for a smaller, personal and friendly nursing home, where individuals matter and are cared for to a very high standard.

It is a well run and caring staff, excellent care. We went on holiday and our mum was looked after so well and spolit, nothing was too much trouble. We wouldn't have been able to relax on holiday if it hadn't been for Havencourt and such a lovely home. Mum felt it was like being on holiday in a top
notch hotel.
Grateful thanks to everyone and the care manager for helping us get her into it.

We, my brother and I, including mum, were made very welcome from day one. Mum is very independent and will not ask for help when she requires it but staff are on hand to give assistance when needed. Mum has recently been diagnosed with dementia and can be confused at times. However, staff are understanding
and caring. The amount of food provided can be a bone of contention, some days being given sandwiches/crisps in place of a meal. Boredom is the main complaint, there are not enough outings due to there not being enough drivers.

In the final weeks of my father-in-law's care, the Havencourt staff could not have been better.


The care he received over the final 8 months of his life was considerate, patient and extremely caring.


I cannot thank everyone there enough.

Overall satisfied with the facilities within the home. Staff are attentive and conscientious.
Food is a frequent source of complaints, quality, variety, temperature and sometimes amount.
The bus belonging to the home rarely gets used, an issue around drivers is the reason we have heard, for over
a year. I think with some effort this could have been resolved.
Minor details regarding my mothers care get overlooked, like keeping her nails and hair maintained, this has to be requested. Running out of toiletries and not being informed.

My father went into Havencourt Care Home for respite care and end of life care. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and my father received immediate care and attention. The atmosphere in the home was lovely and every time any of the family visited we were greeted by any member of staff
we came across. My father received excellent care and attention and it was obvious from the very start of his stay that the staff were well trained and very caring. We were kept informed of any changes in my dad's health and were promptly and sympathetically informed when he died. I could not have been happier with the compassionate care provided to my father. It was such a comfort to myself and the family to know that he was being well cared for. Other members of the family who visited were equally impressed with the home and the staff. The home is also well kept and nicely furnished. I would like to thank everyone there for their kindness and care extended to my father at this difficult time.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.533)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.533) out of 10 for Havencourt Care Home 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 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 4.781 for Havencourt Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (78 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.781

  • 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 4.752 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Havencourt Care Home is based on 8 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8

    • 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.4 = 0.952

  • 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.
