Care Homes Owned by RDCP Care in South Yorkshire

If your thinking of placing a loved one in a home this is the one I am and our family are really happy with this place sadly dads close to death so he hasn't really benefited from this place for lounge area or meeting the residents but this place and the staff deserve praise and they are a credit to the owners the rooms are a decent size and always hot with heating always on too Thanks all

We have been very impressed by the whole team who do a difficult job in often quite harrowing circumstances.

My Dad arrived at Heeley Bank Care Home from the Northern General Hospital on 2nd December 2024 he was too frail and ill to manage at home any longer . I have to say I was apprehensive at first, but from the moment he arrived I felt reassured due to how welcoming and caring all the staff were. Dad is still being cared for here and the level of care is excellent they treat him with dignity and respect, he is kept very comfortable and cosy. I often have to visit in the evenings after work and the staff always have a cheery word and often offer me a cup of tea and update me on how dad has been that day. Everyone works extremely hard here and you can tell they want to do the best for the residents. I Just want to shout out the biggest Thank You to everyone who works at Heeley Bank for everything you are doing for dad.

Heeley Bank Care Home has always had a good feel about it. My mother has been in residence for 4 years now. In the month of February 2025 the Home advised me that my mother had witnessed a fall and seemed OK but a medical nurse had been sent for to check that all was well. I was to be informed of any developments. Another time I reported that my mother's engagement ring had slipped off and gone missing, this was found and returned to me. The staff interact with my mother in a friendly and respectful manner and they always make time to answer any queries I may have. I would recommend Heeley Bank Care Home to anyone looking for somewhere for their elderly relative to live.

The rooms in the home are always clean and the laundry system is very effective. The manager is very approachable. We are both highly satisfied with the home.

Mum enjoys her meals. The menus offering a selection of 2 alternatives for main and desert are displayed which enables her to make choices.

When we were looking for a care home I had a certain criteria. The main one being how the staff interacted with other residents. We looked around a few homes and wasn't impressed but then we found Heeley Bank. They are very friendly and let us do mums room how she wanted it so it was familiar to her. My mum is very happy there and she is well taken care of. I go regularly so I know she is ok. My mum's only complaint is the food. She likes proper home cooked food. From the cleaners to the managers they all look after my mum.

Many many thanks

Poor service at best which makes me question the overall care for residents if people have a careless attitude. If your staff are not able/willing to let people in on weekends (this is never a problem in the week) you need to provide someone there.

I visit my friend most weeks with another friend. We have always found our friend well cared for. The staff have always been very helpful to us and have appeared very attentive to the residents. There seems to be a good atmosphere in the home.

Thank you to all the team.

We have had a very good experience with Heeley Bank over the past 4 years. The staff are very helpful and kind. The room is always clean. They understand the resident's needs. Any issues we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently.

I agree with some comments from previous reviews! However, It's not easy finding the right balance and pleasing everyone all of the time! I think that the staff all do a good job as it is not easy at times!

Communication with staff and administration has been trouble-free throughout and so far I am happy that my mother's needs and specialist care requirements are being met.

My dad has been at Heeley Bank over two years, we as a family find my dad's care to be good, he is always clean and shaved when we visit, the team seem to have got better and we see regular carers who are very good with my dad who now needs to be given his food and drinks. Upgrades have been done since my dad has been there for the better, we did have some issues, to start with my dad being dressed in other people's clothes and being left with drinks even though he is not able to drink by himself, they seem to have a better team of carers. There are a few things that could do with being better, one there never seems to be a senior member of staff around to ask about any updates on my dad's issues, always have to find someone to ask, residents seem to be left for a long time e.g. over an hour, I can be there and no one even looks in on my dad checking if all is ok. Also could be better at informing family of any changes with any other health issues, we only find out when we visit which is not good.

After making several complaints to Heeley Bank Care Home, about how my Mother has been treated, the lack of staff to management communications, not reporting issues, management's lack of addressing issues, and the general cleanliness poor. How my Mother that was taken in to the hospital after being at Heeley Bank Care Home, the senior management believes it to be a good way of addressing issues is to blame others, hide behind poor excuses and make poor excuses for their failings. This company need some major leadership changes to address their issues. So they have refused Mother to go back to Heeley Bank Care Home. This is a blessing in disguise, as like many others she too deserves to be looked after better, for issues raised to be addressed and not to use a blame culture to hide their failings. Like we have always stated, most of the staff are very hard working, others very lazy. Sadly not supported enough by senior management, communication between management and their minimal levels of staff does not happen nor are issues/incidents recorded. Care first, not profit.

On a positive note, the food was good, the home itself was clean and modern and latterly there seemed to be some effort to tackle negative aspects of the carer culture. However, I was relieved when another care home was found for Mum.

After A few mishaps with his first admission for respite I have to say the care and support given to my husband on his second visit was fabulous. The team are approachable and caring to my husband. I highly reccommend them, I wouldnt send him anywhere else for respite now.

My aunt endured 6 miserable months at this place before we were able to get her transferred. During this time she was left isolated in bed 24/7, never given a proper bath, left in soiled and wet clothes, left to feed herself when she wasn't able, given meat although she is vegetarian and left to fall out of bed sustaining a fracture. In my opinion, the place is not fit for purpose and a complete overhaul of management, staff and policy is required.

My friend could watch films/ listen to music or DVD player etc if it was allowed.
