It far exceeded my expectations. It was like a five-star hotel. Excellent service, staff, and food.

My mum has dementia which is so hard for me and all the family. The only thing keeping us able to cope is the wonderful care she receives at Hartismere. It's a pleasure to visit the carers, cleaners, cooks etc. Not once have we had anything but help and kindness. Nothing is too much trouble, I can ring
when I want, if there are any problems they ring me. Words alone cannot express the admiration I have for them all, and if I have to end my days in a care home. I hope it's exactly like Hartismere. God bless.

Arrived here from hospital, was settled in nicely with a cup of tea. I had excellent service from physios down to the carers. Meals are smashing, I have no faults about anything and would recommend to all my friends.

I arrived from hospital in a seriously debilitated condition, unable even to get out of bed unaided. Thanks to the care and encouragement of all the staff, I am now back on my feet and able to live an independent life once more. I couldn't have done it without them and will always be eternally grateful.

We found staff very attentive and ready to answer any questions. The home itself is very clean and well kept, lovely coffee lounge where both my sister and visitors could relax. Although my sister didn't use any of the facilities we were impressed with the choice. Also as she was sent there to get her
mobility back after being in hospital, I can't given an opinion on the 'value for money'.

On this my this visit for a two-hour session, to include assisted bathing and light lunch, I was welcomed by members of staff, and made to feel a part of the established community. Staff were helpfully and courteously attentive to both my carers and me throughout, and I have only the most pleasurable
recollections of my visit. Which accord with those I have of each of my previous periods spent at the care centre as a day-time user of the services.

Clean, spacious, friendly and very comfortable and staff are very kind and helpful. Coffee is great, food is great and the rooms are clean and comfortable. Great to have a television in my room. Nice to see lots of old friends who I know in the Eye area. Great to have relaxed visiting hours and to
know that all the staff are here to help me get better.

The service that was provided was efficient, caring and helpful. I was particularly impressed how quickly the assessment was carried out and my mother was transferred from another place within a couple of days. This was particularly helpful to the family. The care home standards were excellent, exceptionally
clean and staff were very obliging. The only fault i could find was that I smelt smoke (strongly) on a care worker one evening. Apart from that the best care home I have ever visited.

Our first impressions of Hartismere Place were that it's very impressive, like a hotel. The staff are very good but as this home is so big we feel that the one to one care isn't quite the same as it was in our mothers previous home. For instance, mum's glasses went missing and she was wearing someone
elses, and couldn't see promptly, which we were not happy about. Hopefully as Hartismere Place gets establish it will be a lovely home for our mum, we understand it's early days and there are bound to be a few hiccups.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.830)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.830) out of 10 for Hartismere Place 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 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.830 for Hartismere Place is calculated as follows: ( (309 Excellents x 5) + (51 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 365 Ratings = 4.83

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hartismere Place is based on 31 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 31 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

I’ve worked for Care UK for nearly a decade now. Before joining the organisation I was a laboratory technician and a registered childminder. When I was looking for a new challenge, I heard great things about Care UK and how its people were supported to develop. That’s certainly been my experience. I started as a carer and have worked my way up. 


I’ve been at Hartismere Place since 2018 as Deputy Manager, so I know everyone here very well. I’ve seen the home grow and flourish, but there’s always more we can do to improve how we work and what we offer to residents, and I’m looking forward to continuing to enhance what we do.  


I love walking around the home and having lovely interactions with the residents. They make my day, as do the great colleagues I work alongside. There’s always a lot of laughter at Hartismere Place, which creates a great atmosphere. 


Outside of work, I’m a keen biker, my husband and I ride all over East Anglia. I also enjoy gardening, spending time with my family, and socialising with friends.
