  • Heathlands Residential Care Home, Pershore
With a long-serving team, who embrace the loved ones of residents into life at the home, Heathlands has a warm, family feel.

The team have just launched their new Allard Respite Suite. This beautiful suite has eight bedrooms for respite care breaks, which unlike anywhere else locally, can be pre-booked up to six months in advance. The bedrooms have ensuite wet rooms, there is a lounge and dining area to enjoy activities and delicious home-cooking, and a private garden. So, if you are caring for a relative and need to book some time for yourself, the team are there to provide your loved one with care and companionship.

The team follow Sanctuary Care’s Enriching Lives Framework, based on the six senses people need to feel truly happy and fulfilled – a sense of achievement, belonging, continuity, purpose, significance and security. They are passionate about residents having an active role to play in the running of the home. The resident ambassadors love providing feedback to the team, and even help to interview potential staff.

There is always something going on at Heathlands – from animal therapy, visits from local nursery and school children, art and crafts and live music, to trips out into the community. There is also a hair salon for weekly visits from a mobile hairdresser, who has been coming to the home for years.

And Heathlands is very much part of the local community – hosting a monthly carers’ afternoon tea (last Monday of each month from 2pm to 4pm). There are also regular visits from work experience students and other volunteers.

The home’s gardens are a lovely spot to relax with family and friends, who are welcome at any time, and have a summer house and wheelchair friendly pathways.

The bedrooms are spacious, with ensuite wet rooms. There are cosy, welcoming lounges and residents enjoy delicious, home-cooked meals in the dining rooms, as well as freshly baked cakes for afternoon tea.

From our first enquiry to the final days, the team at Heathlands have been amazing. The whole team - managers, admin, team leaders and care staff, catering, domestic and maintenance, activities coordinator - made us feel welcome and part of the family.
So many fun times and quality life experiences.
When the sensitive times came, we were able to trust in the advice given and call upon the wealth of experience among the staff team to guide and reassure us.
When I think about Heathlands, the staff team and the last ten months they have been part of our lives, I smile, even at a sad time, there were so many happy memories and encouraging conversations.
The only words to describe them all - friendly, caring, patient, professional, compassionate and knowledgeable.
Thank you to them all x

Heathlands is providing Mum with the sociable, caring environment that she thrives from. Mum came to Heathlands initially as a respite resident in September '24 and quickly switched to being a permanent resident. She has a wonderful, light, comfortable room that she has made her own and joins in all
the activities and mini bus trips. She loves the food and has been sleeping really well since moving in.
The friendliness of all the staff is unmatched and it feels as though mum has an even bigger family now. As her daughter living 120 miles away it's a comfort to know that mum is so well cared for. I enjoy my weekly visits too!

Reply from Jacob Hardie, Design and Marketing Assistant at Heathlands Residential Care Home

Thank you so much for looking after my mother for the past two weeks. Last time she was at Heathlands, there were one or two issues which I mentioned 25.11.24 - 12.12.24, but I am delighted to say you went out of your way to resolve those. Again, thank you. She had a lovely stay and will be back again
in July.

Overall I'm very happy with the care that my husband is receiving at Heathlands. While most staff are absolutely wonderful, I have witnessed a few occasions when some staff have displayed a lack of understanding of dementia and inadequate communication with dementia residents. Possibly a lack of training.
In an ideal world there would be a higher staffing level, but I realise that we're not living in an ideal world

A complete overall experience at Heathlands Residential Care Home, we been using for respite. The person who is going for a week at a time, like that much have stay for just day care. He like the foods, staff, facilities and the whole package that is offering. We are now in the process of asking for

I am thrilled with the standard of care my Mum is receiving. She is happy, well cared for and respected by the staff. She was in end of life
care this time last year but is happy and thriving since moving in to Heathlands. She takes part in the daily activities and has made friends. I honestly cannot
rate the staff highly enough.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Heathlands Residential Care Home

Overall, I am very happy with the home. My mum was not keen on the idea at first but the care staff have been lovely with her and she enjoys the their company. Mostly she is very content, although she is currently unhappy because she is not allowed to feed the birds.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Heathlands Residential Care Home

Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad to hear that your mum is enjoying the care and companionship of our wonderful team. We're sorry to hear she's unhappy about not being able to feed the birds. Unfortunately, we found that feeding them was attracting other unwanted visitors. However, we'll be working with her to do some fun bird-related activities that we hope she'll enjoy. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Dad is a permanent resident of Heathlands.
When Dad moved into Heathlands of his own choice because he had been very ill and not safe or happy living at home where he was lonely and debilitated he was not only weak but not at all well!
All of the staff have looked after him so well that he has put
on weight, joins in with activities, walks with a frame, likes his home and embraces his new routine.
We can't thank the staff enough for keeping Dad safe and looking after not just his health but mental well-being.

Reply from Kate Yates, Communications and Content Specialist at Heathlands Residential Care Home

Thank you for your heartfelt feedback about Heathlands. We're thrilled to hear that your dad has experienced such a positive transformation since joining us. Our dedicated team are committed to providing truly personalised care that is focussed on not just physical health, but on enriching the lives of their residents, so it's wonderful to hear this is having such a positive impact. Your appreciation means a great deal and we will be sure to share it with the home manager and her team.

3 years ago, my mum was having a really difficult time coping with life due to a dementia diagnosis. She was fortunate enough to be given a place at Heathlands Residential Care Home.
Since moving into Heathlands, mum has become healthier, happier and is living life to the fullest. She is the happiest
that I have seen her in a very long time. The rooms are clean and cosy. The main areas of Heathlands are clean and do not have the care home smell that some homes have. The staff are amazing and approachable. Nothing is too much for them. My daughter and I certainly appreciate ALL that they do.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review. We're so pleased to hear how much your mum's health and happiness have improved since joining us at Heathlands.

Heathland is a very friendly and supportive place. The staff have all been helpful both with regard to my queries and in supporting my mother. The food is generally very good, particularly the homemade cakes.
When activities are available these have been week thought out and Mum enjoys them. The environment
is very clean and unlike many homes is no underlying smell. I love the fact that there is a resident cat and so does Mum.

All the family are amazed at how well Mum is. She was on death's door just after Christmas and had virtually given up. With the care that Heathlands has provided she has made an astonishing turn around we are so grateful to all the staff at Heathlands.

As a wife of a resident, I know Heathlands well. So when I had to have surgery I booked myself for 2 weeks respite. The care and attention I received were really excellent. The chef and kitchen went out of their way to accommodate the special diet I had to have. As I already knew most of the team, it
was like being looked after at home. I would not hesitate to recommend Heathlands for resident or respite care.

Our mum has been with Heathlands for over 2 1/2 years. A culture shock for her and us, going in under Covid restrictions. My main concern in the early days was the TV remote kept disappearing so I sorted that one out. But more seriously it's hard for me to understand how my mum's carers do what they
do, both the boys and girls have their work cut out for them, thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.656)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.656) out of 10 for Heathlands Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.656 for Heathlands Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (212 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 285 Ratings = 4.656

  • b) 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Heathlands Residential Care Home is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
