My husband enjoyed his stay at Hayward care home and was very well looked after.
He cannot remember any details hence the need for me to complete this form.
He has no idea that he was with you for three weeks but it meant that I could visit a sick friend in New Zealand without worrying about him.
Thank you.

Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Hayward Care Centre

Thank you for taking the time to share your husband's experience at Hayward Care Centre. It was lovely to have him with us and he is welcome back any time. We're so glad that a respite stay with us allowed you to make the journey to New Zealand, and that it gave you peace of mind.

My husband has been a resident for about 3 years, and I have found the home to be caring and homely. They react appropriately when necessary; for example when needing hospital treatment for various disorders. They have been particularly accommodating with my husband's very picky eating. There appears
to be quite a variety of social occasions which my husband rarely attends. Also, there are other activities. His room is generally well looked after by housekeeping.

My mum has been a resident at Haywards for over a year now and seems very happy. Staff are always friendly and welcoming, special mention to the activities co-ordinator, she always interacts so well with my mum and ensures she is included now mum is in a wheelchair.
Only concern I have is with my mums
eating habits, feel like she needs to be closely monitored and not left alone.
My mum had a referral made a few months ago due to her walking abilities declining (which I am now understanding is due to decline in dementia) this referral as far as I am aware is still going through now. It is a real shame because who knows if my mum would be up walking if further help was provided a lot sooner.
Overall lovely care home always kept so clean and as I say very welcoming.

A bit disappointed with the way the meals are served, my friend's mother has very limited memory and will easily say yes or no to anything and also finds it nearly impossible to feed herself but is usually left to do so. I have been there several times at meal times with food left uneaten and cold,
yet when I or my friend helps her to eat she usually eats it all. Always loves porridge! Said no to being asked when we got there, fed her and she ate the lot.

Dad has not been here very long, but so far it's all good. He has not been able to participate in activities as he can not get out of bed and he does not have a wheelchair or a tilt in space chair.

Although our mother doesn't like to take part in group activities, she did enjoy the build up to Christmas and watching all that was going on. She was able to take part on her own terms with some cooking activities. She has been here a year now and has settled beautifully. She is respected and cared
for so very well. Thank you.
"I do not like to take part in organised activities, but I was involved in making the Christmas cake and gingerbread men, which I always did at home." - Resident.

My mother has been in the home for about two and a half years now. She seems very settled and happy where she is. Her room is very nice, bright and airy. I feel that my mum would benefit from a bath now and again, or at least once a week. Also her room could do with a hoover a bit more often than at
present, she has very dry skin and the floor seems to suffer. Overall my sister and I are very pleased with all you do for our mother. Her happiness is all we care about, when all is said and done.

I have just spent a couple of hours visiting my father who was with you in respite care for a week. The staff were very welcoming and extremely helpful and supportive during my visit. My father could not be more delighted at being at the Hayward Care Centre and described it as like a hotel! The common
areas were very clean as was the accommodation which was well laid out for residents. Thank you to all the staff

Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Hayward Care Centre

It was my husband's first experience of respite and was good, he would be happy to return to Hayward Care Centre. He would love to be able to play the piano on his return. He loved the penguins and the carol singing was uplifting.

Standard visits, staff are polite when I see them, although often I visit and don't have any interaction. Some visits have no staff check in on my uncle at all.
Rooms seem clean and well kept. Often when I visit his bottle is empty, although his beaker is full, he cannot fill it himself. Communication
needs some big improvement. I visit weekly and regularly request notice if items are required, such as night pads etc. But multiple times I arrive and he needs items as they are out completely.

My mother who recently passed away, after a short illness, spent four years being looked after by kind and compassionate staff. She had a lovely room overlooking the gardens, while the facilities in the home in general were of a very high standard. Many thanks to all the staff for the care and companionship
they provided my mother.

I have nothing but praise for Hayward Care Centre, mum is well cared for and feels safe there. The staff are friendly and caring. They encourage her to do activities, which is great.
The only criticism is mum doesn't have a lot of her own clothes available and sometimes she has been given other peoples.

Would highly recommend Hayward!
Lovely staff that go above and beyond. My grandfather is a very proud man who was embarrassed to ask for help with self-care (which he struggled with), but the staff put his mind at ease with their professionalism. Very clean, tidy and homely. Thank you for all they
have done for him and our family when visiting.

My mother is not really able to do too much for herself, so the support she is receiving, we feel, has been excellent. She has settled in very well and appears to be happy and feels safe. We are also very happy with the way in which we are treated when we visit. Nice feeling all-round. We are very relaxed
with her situation.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.502)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.502) out of 10 for Hayward Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.502 for Hayward Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (153 Excellents x 5) + (110 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 277 Ratings = 4.502

  • 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 Hayward Care Centre is based on 24 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 24 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.
