Heathwood is a well thought of specialist dementia care home. It has a lively and fun atmosphere but also plenty of space for quiet contemplation. They have designed the interior to feel like home.
The gardens are safe, easily accessible at all times directly from the living spaces and allow residents to indulge their hobby, walk freely or doze. In warmer weather they regularly use the space for alfresco eating and periodic parties.
Families are encouraged to take part in the care process through resident support and social group. The busy atmosphere ensures that people in the home are enjoying life to the full.

Heathwood is an amazing carehome. The staff are so kind, caring, warm & friendly and extremely helpful & professional. The manager Debbie is very approachable and always willing to help in any way she can. The rooms are homely & comfortable all communal areas are bright fresh & clean & they do have a lovely accessible garden. Everything is perfect and dad tells me every visit how happy he is. They have made his living with dementia a lot easier for him and we know he is safe and well looked after.
The facilities are first class The staff are always helpful. The atmosphere is of a caring & sympathetic community. Not so much a home as a home from home!!

Accepting that mum needed full-time care was an incredibly emotional time for us. From the moment we settled her into Heathwood, we knew that she was in excellent hands. Staff genuinely care for mum and her well-being. A lot of care and attention is shown to her, and everyone puts so much effort into making Heathwood a "home" for its residents, not just a care home.

Food out of this world.

My Mum had been at Heathwood for just over 2 years. During this time I have nothing but praise for all the staff, from the cleaners who keep the home clean and tidy, the clean clothes that are returned daily, the chefs and of course all the care staff. The food is homecooked and always plentiful,...
My Mum was never one for joining in if activities were on, the staff would always try, but she preferred to sit and watch. As Mums dementia declined she could be difficult to deal with, but the staff were always patient and allowed Mum to do things in her own time, including a lye in! A home from home!
Staff very helpful and accommodating, always happy to help with a problem, nothing ever too much trouble. Food is amazing especially cup cakes on a Tuesday afternoon when we visit.

My mum came into Heathwood for respite when it was lockdown, and when Mum became more unwell in January 2023, Mum went from hospital into Heathwood again for respite. After a best interest meeting, it was decided Mum needed full-time care. We chose to keep Mum in Heathwood because of the amazing team that work here and the facilities. I have been in care homes that have no tea-making facilities where residents can help themselves. They also have lots of activities.
They look after my nan very well, very caring and when I am upset they look after me and my young son, they let him play games with my nan.

The manager is amazing and always available to help and answer any questions. All the staff are excellent, and treat all residents with respect and dignity. Nothing is too much trouble. Like one big happy family. Relatives/visitors are always made to feel welcome. There are activities to keep residents interested. Rooms are extremely good. Meals are all home-cooked and first-class. Homemade cakes every afternoon with tea and coffee. The garden is lovely and accessible to all at any time. I am always kept fully informed about everything to do with my husband. The care and understanding is second to none. Recommend Heathwood 100%. Would choose no other care home.

Heathwood is a wonderful home to live in. It is fresh, clean, homely, and friendly, with amazing staff who treat every resident with respect and lots of love and as individuals with their own needs. It's a very happy place with a lovely atmosphere. My father-in-law is very well looked after and is thriving. He has been there nearly four years, and his words are 'I'm content and happy. The food is excellent, and I'm so well looked after.' The manager treats everyone as her own family, as does the deputy, and nothing is too much trouble. Each member of staff across the whole home is efficient, warm and friendly, and you can see how fond they are of every resident and all love what they do. Myself and my wife and all the family have always been made so welcome, in fact, my wife calls it her 2nd home. We are so grateful for everything they do. The great-grandchildren are making so many memories there with their grandad; they enjoy their visits, especially the parties. I would recommend Heathwood 100% to anyone.

The care that my dearest friend received was amazing. The staff, especially the manager and one other were completely amazing and extremely professional. The understanding of my friend's condition was also prevalent. I could not recommend Heathwood enough. My husband and I are very grateful for how our dear friend was cared for until she left the home and went to the hospital where she passed away peacefully.

Heathwood is a well run home. The managers are efficient and are always available. There really is a lovely homely atmosphere and you are made to feel very welcome by all the staff. My Mother's room is always extremely clean. The staff are excellent and go out of their way to care for the residents. At times it's like a party atmosphere. The garden is lovely with shaded and sunny areas. The kettle is always on for tea or coffee. Always a choice of homecooked food which my Mother enjoys! She says she is really happy and the staff are like angels.
