My late father was cared for extremely well at Healey House in the last eleven months of his life. Despite the added pressures of the pandemic, the home went above and beyond to ensure that I had as much contact with him as possible. The staff are very caring and supportive. I am very grateful.

As my husband is registered blind Healey House is the obvious choice as they are able to offer all the assistance required for a happy care home environment. All the staff are very caring and I feel my husband is well cared for. The day centre attached to Henley House has a day centre that caters for the partially sighted and blind five days a week which breaks up the boredom scenario in a usual care home.
