How much does The Hawthorns cost per week?

Weekly fees at The Hawthorns start from £900. Costs may vary depending on the level of care required.

Does The Hawthorns accept NHS or local authority funding?

The Hawthorns accepts self-funding, local authority funded, and NHS Continuing Healthcare residents. For NHS Continuing Healthcare eligibility, refer to NHS guidelines (https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/money-work-and-benefits/nhs-continuing-healthcare/).

Is The Hawthorns a nursing home or a residential care home?

The Hawthorns is registered as a nursing home. This means the home provides nursing care alongside personal care support. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-125862704).

Does The Hawthorns provide dementia care?

The Hawthorns specialises in dementia care. This includes Alzheimer's disease support. The home is CQC-registered for this specialism (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-125862704).

How do we score dementia-specialist homes differently?

We do not treat the phrase 'dementia care' on its own as proof of quality. On RightCareHome, dementia-specialist homes are checked more carefully for dementia-specific fit signals such as whether dementia care is registered, whether secure or wandering support is clearly published, whether nursing cover is available when needs are more complex, and whether inspection or family feedback supports that positioning. If wandering support is not clear in the public data, that becomes a follow-up question rather than a positive signal.

How many beds does The Hawthorns have?

The Hawthorns has 108 registered beds. The home provides nursing care. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-125862704).

What do care home reviews say about The Hawthorns?

RightCareHome's public feedback assessment for The Hawthorns is concerns present. The combined public feedback rating is 4.6 out of 5.

Are The Hawthorns's reviews enough to make a decision?

The Hawthorns's public feedback assessment is useful, but it should not be the only reason to choose the home. Treat it as one evidence layer, then compare it with the latest CQC rating, safety and well-led domains, weekly fees, funding fit, and provider-record questions. Reviews are strongest when they confirm the same strengths or concerns that appear in inspection evidence and your visit questions.

Is The Hawthorns safe?

The Hawthorns is rated "Good" for Safety by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). No enforcement actions are currently recorded. Source: CQC inspection report (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-125862704).

Who owns The Hawthorns?

The Hawthorns is operated by BARCHESTER HEALTHCARE HOMES LIMITED (Companies House number: 02849519). Ownership type: independent.

Has The Hawthorns had enforcement actions?

There are no current enforcement actions recorded against The Hawthorns by the CQC. Source: CQC registration data (https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-125862704).

What do public company records show about The Hawthorns's provider?

The Hawthorns's provider public-record check is: 1 point worth clarifying. This public-record detail may be useful to discuss with the provider before you decide. The latest filed accounts we reviewed are dated 31 December 2024. This is not a credit rating, solvency assessment or prediction about the home.

What continuity questions should families ask The Hawthorns?

RightCareHome does not predict whether The Hawthorns will close. Families can still check official provider records, CQC evidence and current written answers before paying a deposit. No current enforcement actions are recorded. Continuity questions should be judged alongside inspection history, fee pressure, and what the manager can explain on your visit.

What should I compare before choosing The Hawthorns?

Before choosing The Hawthorns, compare latest CQC overall, Safe, and Well-Led ratings, family review volume and repeated themes, published weekly fees and what is included, funding routes accepted by the home, and provider public-record questions and company-record gaps. Then compare those signals with other care homes in Peterlee, because a home can look acceptable in isolation but weaker once price, reviews, CQC evidence, and provider records are viewed against local alternatives.

Is The Hawthorns's CQC rating improving or declining?

Recent inspection history suggests The Hawthorns's CQC position is improving. The latest CQC review was on 6 July 2023.

How do The Hawthorns's fees compare to the local average?

Based on current local pricing benchmarks, The Hawthorns's published weekly fees from £900 look below area average. Final weekly costs can still vary depending on the level of care required.

How do I know if I'm paying too much for The Hawthorns?

Start by comparing The Hawthorns's published weekly fees with the local care home benchmark. On this page, those fees look below area average. Lower pricing can be a good sign for affordability, but families should still check what is and is not included in the weekly rate. The safest way to judge value is to compare price against care fit, inspection strength, and the unanswered questions you still have after reviewing the page.

What questions should I ask when visiting The Hawthorns?

When visiting The Hawthorns, start by asking the team to ask to see the latest inspection report and what has changed since it, ask how staffing levels work on day and night shifts, ask how families are updated when needs change, and ask who provides overnight clinical cover if nursing needs escalate. These questions help you test whether the public picture on this page still matches day-to-day reality inside the home.

What does our visit checklist include for The Hawthorns?

Our visit checklist for The Hawthorns starts with the basics families often miss: the latest inspection report, staffing levels across day and night shifts, how the team updates relatives when needs change, and how care plans are reviewed in practice. On RightCareHome, the page-level checklist is then extended with personalised follow-up questions based on the home’s inspection, review, provider-record and practical signals.

Staff perspective

Family reviews tell you how care feels from the outside. But the people delivering that care have their own story — about workload, management, and whether they feel supported to do their job well.

The Care Home Check report checks employee feedback from recruitment platforms to check whether staff satisfaction aligns with what families experience.

Analysis based on family reviews gathered from across the web to support your visit planning.

How RightCareHome analyses public feedback

We keep the numerical rating and the semantic assessment separate, then apply the following checks:

Duplicate handling. We remove matching review records when reviewer attribution, rating and review text indicate the same feedback. Similar but non-matching comments are kept.
Rating normalisation. Scores recorded on different scales are converted to a common five-point scale. Where more than one numerical score is available, each is weighted by the amount of feedback behind it.
Recurring patterns. Review text is analysed for repeated strengths, concerns, contradictions and practical questions. Isolated comments are treated more cautiously than recurring themes.
Confidence thresholds. Coverage depends on unique usable feedback, evidence breadth and consistency. When the threshold is not met, we mark the result Limited feedback coverage rather than infer a stronger conclusion.
Rating and semantic assessment. The combined rating summarises numerical scores. The semantic assessment explains what families repeatedly describe. Strong recurring concerns can therefore change the assessment even when the rating is high.
Evidence scope. Public feedback is one evidence layer, not a live measure of staffing, safety or daily care. RightCareHome therefore reads it alongside current inspection evidence and the questions to test on a visit.
