Overall Experience

I had a hip replacement operation and stayed at Heathland House for two weeks post discharge. My stay has exceeded my expectations, and I can't thank the team enough for all they've done for me; the care, the support, the encouragement. This is a gold standard care home with a great big heart.
Thank

you so much for helping me through a difficult time. I will be forever grateful for your kindness & compassion.

Overall Experience

A warm welcoming home offering residents and their families a friendly community. Excellent well equipped rooms, spacious and inviting lounges and fabulous cafe area that are well used so no-one needs to feel alone or lonely.
Great activities, we are obviously very lucky in Dorset with visiting entertainers!

Residents are encouraged to join in or start up activities in areas they enjoy.
Everywhere is easily accessible, including lift access.
Nice sunny garden for relaxation or your daily walks.
The staff are excellent and are responsible for making the home such a lovely place to be.

Overall Experience

My friend of 71 years is not the easier of people to manage, and yet the staff at Heathland House find ways to encourage her to eat and dress and even be quite sociable at times! I am extremely impressed.

Further it was her birthday, and I requested a chocolate cake, with chocolate icing and more

chocolate on top, (chocolate is one of the few things she will eat!) and they excelled themselves with a beautiful looking and tasting cake, some prosecco and even a gift (chocolates!!) and came in and sang happy birthday to her. It was above wonderful!

The wisdom, patience, gentleness and even tough love, when necessary, are generously dished out!

There are many choices for care homes in this area, and I visited most before choosing Heathland - what a great decision that was! A BIG thank you to all the staff who care for my friend so beautifully!

Overall Experience

I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care my dad receives at Heathland House. Living with dementia can be challenging, but the staff here are patient, understanding, and truly dedicated to providing the best possible support. They treat my dad with kindness, dignity, and respect, ensuring he

feels safe and comfortable every day.

The environment is warm and welcoming, and the staff go above and beyond to engage residents in meaningful activities that stimulate their minds and bring joy. It gives me and our family great peace of mind knowing he is in a place where he is not only well cared for but also valued as an individual.
I can't thank the team enough for their compassion and professionalism.

Overall Experience

This is my fifth month of living in Heathland House. Being in this care home over Christmas couldn't have gone better. The entertainment each week with singers, musicians, and a lovely school choir. Even Father Christmas came around with presents for everyone. I particularly enjoy the 'use it or lose'

exercise class, and I am also learning tai chi. As I suffer from macular degeneration the management has found a blind class for me to attend every two weeks and they provide transport to and from the group. The staff are so helpful with all my needs. Cups of tea with biscuits and cake are always available. I have settled in now and it is truly my home.

Heathland House is a lovely care home, not like any other I have seen. All the staff are amazing and so caring. My dad moved to Heathland House following a 4th stroke and the death of his wife, everyone in the home could not have been nicer. He has settled in well and I can relax knowing that he is

being well cared for.

From contacting this home to enquire about a respite stay to leaving the home after a two-week stay, the management and the whole team there have been wonderful, and very helpful.
Every care was listened to and acted upon and they knew everyone by their Christian names and ensured we were happy.
The

catering was very good, and the rooms were spacious and clean.
Wonderful entertainment was provided in lovely settings.

An outstanding care facility. Not only does it have a very welcoming environment, it treats residents like the very valued parts of the community they are.
The staff are incredibly attentive without encroaching on the resident's independence.

Overall Experience

My aunt has been a resident Heathland House Care Home for over a year now and she has blossomed since being there and is thoroughly enjoying life again. The staff are all very kind, understanding and knowledgeable and look after my aunt with so much love. It was a hard decision to move her into care

but we couldn't be happier. She now has a quality of life again, is safe, well looked after, company and fun with all the activities.

Reply from Debbie Holmes, Home Admissions Advisor at Heathland House

Thank you so much, it is heartwarming to hear and we have certainly enjoyed helping your Aunt become one of the most active and social residents at Heathland House. We will make sure that the entire team knows of your kind words and appreciation. thank you again. Nadia and the Heathland House team.

Mum moved into Heathland House as she needed 24-hour care. The home is beautiful, well designed to make living in it easy with wonderful facilities. But more importantly what shines through is the love and care given by the whole team, from meeting daily care needs to rich and personalised activities,

lovely food, beautifully clean environment which all go towards making it a happy home for Mum and a place where family and friends are welcomed into. Huge thanks to the whole team for all you do.

Overall Experience

My mum's 92nd birthday was in May and the staff at Heathland House arranged an afternoon tea party for her and her family of 10 in the first floor dining room which has a balcony. We were greeted with balloons tied to Mum's walker and she looked beautiful. The carers had chosen her clothes and put her

makeup on for her. The afternoon tea was laid out on 3 tiered plates with tea or fresh coffee and soft drinks. A lovely member of staff stayed with us and helped us with drinks etc. We were given extra sandwiches and a beautiful birthday cake. I think the staff went over and above to make Mum's day special.

Reply from Debbie Holmes, Home Admissions Advisor at Heathland House

It was a genuinely lovely day for the team too. The photos say almost as much as your kind words. Always a delight to receive and we will make sure the team know how pleased you were. Thank you.

Overall Experience

My mother had struggled to live alone for many months with the support of increasingly worried family and friends. A crisis led to us looking at care homes and Heathland was clearly the best. She has now been there for several months and looks healthier and more relaxed. We know that she is getting

regular, good food, is getting her meds when she should, has plenty of company and there are regular activities pitched at a manageable level. Most importantly, the staff are all friendly and caring and seem to take a genuine interest in her wellbeing. She has said that ‘she could not wish for better’.

My mother visited the home on a respite basis after an operation on her hip. The staff were very helpful and obliging from day one. The management ensured everything ran smoothly from start to finish, ensuring everything was up and running for my mother's arrival. She really enjoyed her stay here and

the carers and staff made her welcome and saw to her needs every day. On leaving, the management again stepped up to the mark to ensure everything went smoothly. Top-notch care.
