  • 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.

Mum is happy where she is and has been for the past 3 years. The home is clean, bright and always smells fresh. The carers are attentive, patient and kind. Whenever I speak to mum she tells me she is comfortable and content where she is and well cared for.

My Dad has dementia and has been in the care of Heathlands since November 2019 as a resident. The staff are all so kind, and I can be assured of the best care for Dad. During the covid pandemic, I have been assured of their practices to keep out the virus.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

Mum, who is in her 90's and unwilling to do simple matters for herself, can be challenging and tends to be reluctant to make requests to the staff about a number of matters whilst being very vocal about others.
The staff are kind and interact well with Mum but it is disappointing to find that they
have not observed or taken action to ensure that her personal appearance, including that her fingernails are cut and cleaned regularly, is as good as it could be.
Mum chooses to remain in bed and it is disappointing to observe that her chair and bathroom have become places to store care equipment creating a poor impression for Mum and visitors.
Sadly the furniture and floor are routinely dirty when I visit.

Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Heathlands Residential Care Home

Thank you for your review and feedback Robert. After speaking with home manager Netty, she let me know that you have already spoken to her directly and that the home are assisting in any way they can. Many thanks, Fae

I visit my mum once or twice weekly, not any particular day and always find her happy and contented. She knows my fave and this is so with other visitors also although she struggles with names. Despite this, myself and my family (sisters) chat with each other about mum and feel very positive with everything.
Mum has lived here for over a year now and has improved immensely both mentally and physically, she has put on much-needed weight and does not worry like before. Many thanks to Heathlands.

Reply from Fae Doherty, Senior Marketing Officer at Heathlands Residential Care Home

Dear P S, thank you for your wonderful feedback. It is great to hear that your experience with Heathlands has been a very positive one and that your mother is doing very well with us. I will be sure to pass this onto Netty and the team. Best wishes, Fae

I have "peace of mind" that my mother is being well looked after. The staff are all friendly and caring for her needs.
The activities are well worth attending for both my mum and me as a visitor.
I am always greeted with a smile and communication about my mother's welfare is always past onto me.

Like all residents in the home when you are greeted, I wanted to go home. But when friends arrive they are very happy with the situation all around. What I like is I am on first name terms with the staff and the manager who I can speak to at any time. Staff help pull patients out of depressive moods
which is very helpful. What I do like is the interchangeability with different sections, hence staff get to know patients, by first names and location and the flexibility. On the whole, this home is run efficiently with very little problems on our part.

Continue to be pleased with the standard of care my mother receives.
However difficult the circumstances, the carers always deal with the situation in a caring and remarkably patient manner.
My mother's needs are always met and she is treated as an individual with her own needs, preferences and problems.
The home and my mother's room are always clean and tidy. Food prepared to a high standard - plenty of choice.

My mother has been living in Heathlands for a year and a half now and she is settled and happy there.
The atmosphere is friendly and caring and the staff have a really caring attitude and endless patience with her - and that includes all the staff.
Now 98 years old, the dementia has wiped out most
of her memory now, but I know she is safe and secure at Heathlands.
My thanks to everyone working there.

Heathlands is a very good care home with friendly, caring staff who, at all levels, create a warm, welcoming atmosphere for residents and their friends and families alike.
It is comforting to know Mum is being so well looked after and we are well informed of her condition and any incidents or problems

My mum went to Heathlands from hospital for some respite care. It made me realise that care homes can be safe, caring and kind. Mum settled quickly and clearly felt safe.
She said that the staff were nice and it did her a lot of good spending these 5 weeks in there.
My only criticism might be that
a particular radio station was playing in the living room sometimes and I felt that was more for the staff than the patients.

My sister has been resident in Heathlands since the 28th September and has settled in well with the help of the staff. In January, she had minor medical problems and a nasty chest infection. The staff were very attentive and supportive and there has been no hesitation to call the doctor. This has meant
staying in her room and taking meals there to aid her recovery. I am very pleased with the help she has received throughout this very difficult period.

I have stayed at Heathlands for respite now for a long time. I came just over a year ago on a regular basis and I have just started coming back after an operation, my recovery was very slow but now I am so pleased. All the staff are lovely always very happy to help you, they always do regular checks
to make sure you are happy or need any help.


I would recommend Heathlands very highly to anybody young or elderly. It's so spotless here. Beautiful gardens. The staff are always smiling and happy it's a care home I would love to live in or any of my relatives or friends. Absolutely fantatsic. I would love to thank the all the staff and management for all the care they give me.

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.
