  • Heathwood, Weston-super-Mare
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.

Review from J G (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I cannot fault anything about Heathwood. I felt so guilty when mum and dad were no longer able to look after themselves and had to leave their home and move into Heathwood. I was working full time and my husband became ill, I need not have worried.
All the carers are so good and hard working. The
home is clean and doesn't smell (unlike some homes). The food is all home cooked, whenever I visit I have tea and home cooked cakes.
The entertainment keeps them busy which is so important for dementia. They are taken out in a mini bus.
It's like one big happy family. I miss them very much but I have no worries, they are being looked after. I always look forward to visit, everyone is so friendly.

Review from Pamela B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 March 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother recently changed Care Homes because she needed constant monitoring and reassurance, which the previous home could not provide because of low expectations as well as staffing levels. An Initial consultation with the Fig Tree Group management confirmed the philosophy of care that I had been
striving for and on arrival at Heathwood the Fig Tree standard of quality of care did not disappoint. This meant a traumatic move of home for my mother was carefully executed by gentle and attentive staff at Heathwood who were able to administer to her special needs in a professional, respectful and very caring way. As a result mum settled with surprising calm, contented in the comfortable, attractive and reassuring environment which meant at last she could feel 'safe'! I am delighted to know she is fully supported and cared for in the true sense of the word, and would very happily recommend Fig Tree as an excellent care provider.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.779)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.779) out of 10 for Heathwood is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.979 for Heathwood is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 4.979
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.8 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Heathwood is based on 8 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.8
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 29 registered maximum number of service users is 5.8, which has been reached with 8 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
