Always a pleasure to come to The Hawthorns in Braintree. The staff are very friendly and the atmosphere is always welcoming and warm. We enjoy our time performing here and always look forward to going back. We always feel well looked after.

Very friendly staff, professional and efficient - very welcoming and homely. Apartments are very nicely appointed. Powered wheelchair users welcome internally and reserved space for mobility scooters for use outside. (with charging facilities) Fantastic food options and always a full diary of activities to suit varied interests.

I was an evening speaker at the Hawthorns. I was welcomed and the room had been prepared including my requests for certain items. The audience of residents were attentive and provided positive thanks. An enjoyable session. Gary Jones CBE

An outstanding team and an outstanding retirement option. After looking at several retirement options for my father, we chose The Hawthorns in Braintree, we could not have made a better choice. My father has been a resident at The Hawthorns for 18 months and the quality of accommodation and the standard of service continue to delight me. Paul & Sandra run a first class team that would rival a stay on a luxury cruise liner. The quality of the food in the restaurant is first class, (Dad has been restored to his fighting weight), and the table service is friendly & efficient. There is a schedule of events for the residents every week which encourages the residents to build great friendships and enjoy themselves. Housekeeping provide a first class, and friendly service with the rooms kept clean & tidy with no disruption to the residents. Maintenance is first class with safety a top priority and the building, its wonderful garden, and surroundings kept clean and tidy always. In this digital age, it is outstanding to note that I have never seen a member of staff distracted by a smartphone, their attention is 100% focused on the residents. This permits an attentive, friendly & caring atmosphere. I wrote to the home to express my thanks and they asked if I could share my observations with a Google Review, which I am delighted to do. I have no vested interest in leaving this review, other than to thank the team for their care of my father, the other residents, and to share my experience with others who may be seeking a retirement home for themselves or for their own elderly parents. Thank you.
