Review of The Heathers from Maire V (Wife of Resident) published on 27 March 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The care my husband received in The Heathers was second to none. Fantastic - nothing was too much trouble. I can't thank them enough. Cannot comment on value for money as we were funded by NHS/local authority.

Review of The Heathers from S R (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

Mum was only meant to be here for 6 weeks but sadly passed away. The room my mother had was dark, dirty, and smelly with old furniture which they had tried to fix with black tape. I have photos to show the disgusting state of this home and text messages from my mother in which she felt unable to speak out, with the manager being unapproachable and not well suited to the care she should be providing. Mum also had social services involved which was raised by a nurse. They forgot on more than one occasion to book transport for my mother's chemo treatment and on one occasion a member of staff took her in their car which wasn't suitable due to spinal and bone cancer. Told my mum off for not eating after chemo and saying it's all in her mind. Almost giving her the wrong medication, this also happened more than once. Mum was bed bound and the curtains were still closed when we arrived in the afternoon.

Reply from Lara Swan, Area Manager at The Heathers

We are sorry to hear about the distress to you and your family in this difficult time. When any resident arrives they are given a welcome pack and in there it is documented how to raise a concern, and the complaints procedure is also displayed on the wall. This is because things can be actioned or...

Review of The Heathers from L D (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I am struggling to understand the positive reviews for this care home (which don't tally with the reviews left elsewhere).
My mother was transferred to The Heathers today from Worthing Hospital, for the purpose of assessment care (temporary - 6 weeks). The conditions at The Heathers were very poor indeed and I felt my mother would not be safe or well looked after there. She became distressed on arrival. The place was in a poor state, it smelled terrible, it was noisy, cramped, shabby, and I saw a number of health and safety issues. It appeared dirty and unkempt.

The carpet was disgusting, the one in the room allocated to my mother was filthy with dark brown stains. There was no room to turn the wheelchair, and insufficient space to safely access the wash basin or easy chair (which was also filthy) by wheelchair or zimmer frame. There are too many concerns to mention. In 2018 a CQC inspection revealed a number of issues. We left immediately.

Reply from Lara Swan, Area Manager at The Heathers

The Heathers has informed me that you did not use any facilities at the Heathers, unfortunately, you did not speak to any of the team at home or management about your concerns and walked in at out of the home. The manager would have liked to of spoken to you but you left. Previous views are based...

Review of The Heathers from June H (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 January 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mother was only in this care home for 3 weeks but that was enough, social services were involved so we could not just move my mother out. I thought that this care home on the whole was poor, the room my mother was in seemed old-fashioned with old furnishing and bedding, the only good thing is that it was cleanish. The staff were average but they didn't really make you feel welcome, even my elderly poor mother. We used to be ushered out before supper time and I think that the reason was this! One evening we were there and supper was a small bowl of soup, (no bread or rolls) and a small pot/yoghurt pudding. Shameful. My Mother was not happy here and we think that

it made her worse. I would not recommend The Heathers in Worthing at all.

Reply from Lara Swan, Area Manager at The Heathers

I am sorry to hear that you did not have a good experience when you came to the Heathers; the manager has expressed she would have been happy to resolve any issues you had at the time you were there. The manager has commented that the whole home has modern furniture packs, but we apologise that it...

Review of The Heathers from Rosemary G (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 November 2022 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

The level of care and dignity my parents have experienced at The Heathers is exemplary. My father passed away on 29/10/2022 aged 90. His care and provision of help during this time, was above and beyond any requirements. His passing was peaceful. My mum has been supported so well after his passing and she is being looked after physically and holistically. My mum and all our family are so glad she is a resident at The Heathers, it is our peace of mind.

Review of Parkside Lodge from Jill L (Friend of Resident) published on 23 August 2021 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My friend's hearing aid never seems to be working, I know Covid-19 has been difficult for everyone. It would also be really helpful to have subtitles turned on on the TV.

Reply from Maryjade Marku, Registered Care Home Manager at Parkside Lodge

Thank you very much for your review. As discussed recently, we have an appointment for the hearing aids which will be in September. We will ensure the subtitles are on. Thank you.
