"My dad has resided at Hatfield Haven since the summer of 2020. He has had plenty of ups and downs, mostly downs, but has always been treated with as much dignity as can be, considering the awful symptoms of dementia. He is now cared for in his bed, all his needs are met to a high standard by the wonderful staff and management there. 10/10."

Husband of Resident

"As my wife has only been a resident at Hatfield Haven since the 11th June 2025, this has to be a limited report so far. She needs more time to give a honest opinion so far, but she is coming to terms with her care, but we both agree this so far so good. I personally am very pleased with the home and its excellent life and care they give to all their residents."

Daughter of Resident

"The staff provide excellent care to the residents and seem to have a genuine connection with them. The atmosphere is positive and residents are encouraged to engage in activities. As a visitor I'm always made to feel welcome. I think the food could be improved as it is often bland and portions overwhelming. The management company don't engage with residents/families and treat it very much as a business. I hope they appreciate their staff, but I'm not sure they do."

"It's a difficult decision to place your loved one into care due to dementia. I am very happy with his care, the staff are good, well trained and make sure my needs are met also, nothing is too much trouble. The staff are the same all the time so I've got used to them. It's early days, but I hope my husband settled in the future as he has so far."

"Truly outstanding, my mum was moved here from another care home that was nowhere near as good. The staff are all so caring and passionate about what they do. Residents are treated to so many engaging activities. There was a belly dancing raffle pancake day. And a Pantomime every year. Trips to the seaside. Visits to the airport to see planes taking off, plus tea and cake. There are animal experiences; snakes, dogs, meerkats, bats, spiders, owls. It is so heartwarming to see my mum put on weight and enjoying herself. I feel I have got my mum back from her dementia. It is like having a second family. Every visit is so enjoyable."

"I have always been impressed with every aspect of my mother's care at Hatfield Haven, but I write as we are in the mid-Covid-19 situation. I have been so impressed with the way the whole team, from the management to the carers, have handled a very dangerous situation. It has been so very hard not being able to visit, but the staff have done their very best to maintain contact between our family and our mother ie, phone calls and facetime. It has helped us cope with the current situation, just knowing that Mum is in a loving, caring environment. I will never be able to thank them all enough."

My only complaint would be that her fees have increased by 25% which I find unacceptable as her pension and other benefits have not!"

"It would be really difficult to find anything that warrants a less than positive response. Our mother has been in Hatfield Haven for a year. We were concerned about how she would be cared for but very quickly our minds were put at ease as we realised that she was getting excellent all-round care. We can only describe the staff and management as ‘simply the best’. The residents are kept stimulated and entertained during the day and regular trips are arranged including visits to garden centres and museums. Recently (until the COVID19 pandemic) children from a local nursery were also visiting the residents at the home on a weekly basis with both groups clearly getting so much out of the visits. Apart from our regular visits (which have had to be virtual during ‘lockdown’) we look forward to seeing the activity photos on social media. We cannot thank all the staff enough for their dedication and compassion."

The staff have a difficult job watching over the residents, some of whom can be difficult and unpredictable. Our experience has been that the staff are very friendly, approachable and caring to residents - even the difficult people. They provide entertainment, outside visits and support and are always smiling and surprisingly loving to their patients. The effort put into the running and management of the Haven is, in our view, exemplary."
