My father is in this facility and I have to tell, that from the first day I had a good a very good impression. Starting with the tour, the rooms, the nurses the reception and the GM, they are all amazing. You want to give your parents some good years think about Homewood Agecare in Hallam
If I could give them 0 star I would do that.. such a pathetic service, wasted our time more than 2 weeks and then at the eleventh hour they said we can’t help you..
I have never seen a better facility in the area and compared to many that I have been. This place I would recommend to anyone and everyone 💯
My mum was taken into homewood transition care earlier this year. The staff were friendly enough and the meals seemed reasonable and tasty. Sadly the covid restrictions and strain on the staff were very evident and I don't believe the care my mum received was of the highest standard, as I was led to believe it would be by reading the many great reviews. I spent many hours with my mum waiting on help to get to the bathroom or in need of pain management and she was told on many occasions the staff were too busy to get her to the bathroom. Thankfully we had mum transferred to St John of God prior to her passing. I was informed that mum had a nasty pressure sore which was not taken care of appropriately at Homewood. Sorry but I do not recommend homewood for transition care There were many other factors but to many to go into
My mum has been there since September and I couldn't be happier. She is fed lovely food, in a clean comfortable room and the staff are great - nothing is too much trouble!
