My mother is very happy and well looked after at the Halliwell, where she has lived for the past two years. The staff are really caring and supportive, and have worked extremely hard both to keep her safe during the pandemic and to make more activities available as the situation has eased up. Even when proper visits and outings were not possible, we were able to visit her in a special visiting room, equipped with a floor to ceiling screen. My mother loves the beautiful garden, where she can get outside for a breath of fresh ... read more

My mother has been living at the Halliwell for nearly two years now, and her experience has been extremely positive. The way the manager and all the staff were running the place was excellent anyway, but during the pandemic, with all its uncertainties and frequent changes of policy and situation, they have been shining stars in every way! The communication with relatives has been excellent, and residents have been very well cared for and fed. The creation of "bubbles" for the residents has been a lifesaver, and they have enj... read more

Leadership starts at the top, we have an outstanding general manager, she is always available to residents and we trust her, carers are courteous and kind, always ready to listen and advise. They are sublime. We are not allowed to 'rest on our laurels' but are encouraged to 'try'. I have found the office staff to be very kind and helpful; they always smile and make me feel 'special'. Two maintenance men will help; they are reliable, a modicum request produces an instant response. As a northerner (Yorkshire), I have been impr... read more

Our much loved Aunty very much enjoyed the last months of her life at Halliwell. It was 'like living in a hotel' she often said. The staff took a lot of time to make her feel welcome. It was great to be able to visit her when we wanted. Would definitely recommend.

My dad has been a Halliwell resident for 2½ years and has received excellent care for all that time, and has been particularly well protected and looked after since the Covid-19 outbreak. The home has evidently followed all the hygiene protocols relating to staff members, residents and visitors quite strictly. He celebrated his 100th birthday last month (October 2020), and the staff and management of Halliwell made his day a special one, in obviously difficult circumstances, with music, a cake and a "bubble" get-together - a... read more

My husband was admitted to Halliwell in August this year. He is receiving end of life care. I cannot praise the care he has/is receiving highly enough. The staff are, without exception, professional, kind and caring. He is being cared for in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. The nursing and medical care are excellent - keeping him pain-free and as comfortable as possible. Thank you so much, Halliwell.

Halliwell is truly a very special place. Prior to becoming a resident in July 2019, our mother had spent two very happy, comfortable and contented stays here. We are extremely grateful to the general manager and her most remarkable team, for the outstanding care that is delivered to our mother, at all times with the greatest kindness, patience and dignity. I have been lucky enough to be able to speak regularly to my mother on the phone throughout the Covid crisis and I know how comforted and reassured she has felt by the car... read more

Halliwell is a very special place. My mother had been resident there from October 2016 until she passed away this month. This is an extremely well-managed care home and I will always be grateful for the care and compassion she received from the staff over the past few years. The staff work as a team and all have had a part to play in improving the quality of life for my mother. As a relative, communication with the management team and nurses is so important particularly at the end of life and I am so grateful for the informa... read more

My mother has been been a resident at the Halliwell for five years, initially with personal care, then over the last year with nursing care. The care she has received has been outstanding. Since the middle of March this year, the staff and residents have risen magnificently to the challenge posed by COVID-19.
