Review from Sara D (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has recovered so well through the 24 hour professional care and support of all the staff at Heather Vale, she has been a resident for 6 weeks. Her needs as an individual are always their main priority. Each resident is involved in decision making around routines such as times to get up
and go to bed, the staff genuinely want them to feel it is their home and they strive to meet residents choices and wishes. It is a 'can do' culture. There is access to hairdressing (mum loves this), chiropody and other health related options like physiotherapy. The access to GP services is outstanding and very reassuring to know that if needed a GP would visit. The quality of care overall is excellent, there is opportunity to ask questions, there is a calm approach and the care home has a very good feel about it. The management team want to engage with relatives, they actively seek your views and are always looking at how things can be developed or changed for the better.

Staff are so willing to please all patients. You feel they really care. Welcome visitors. Activities seem excellent, only been here approx 4 weeks, but enjoyed them. Visitors remark how fresh it smells (no urine smell). Try to carry out your every wish and succeed. Value for money as yet, don't know
the cost, what it may be could be justified.

Staff show me complete respect & dignity, which is very important to me.
I look forward to joining in

The well-being of residents and excellent personalised care is what makes this care home special. All staff and management are approachable and I have no hesitation in recommending Heather Vale.
I regularly visit my father, who is living with advanced Alzheimer's and I feel part of the Heather Vale
community. Communication with relatives is good and I know my father is in safe hands. He is always treated with dignity and respect.

Mum has been staying in Heather Vale since September 2024.
We have been very happy with her care during that period.
The home is well managed by the manager and in her recent absence a particular staff member.
Communication is good.
Every member of staff from kitchen, housekeeping, maintenance
to carers are friendly, welcoming and helpful.
A shout out to another particular staff member who has been very helpful recently.
The rooms are light and airy and as spring approaches we are looking forward to sunny afternoons in the garden with the ducks.

Heather Vale Care Home, is a lovely place to visit and stay. There is always a warm welcome from the staff, who take time to chat with visitors and residents. My dad has been living here for a few months and it is so reassuring to see that he is well looked after and safe. He has a lovely room overlooking
the garden and enjoys the activities that take place at the home. There is always an activity in the home or a visiting entertainer, with live music.


The management staff are very approachable and I'm confident that they would deal with any issues, if I brought them up. Every month the staff check in with me and my dad to see how things are going. All in all, Heather Vale is a caring, welcoming and happy place with wonderful and hard working staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am extremely happy with Heather Vale, the staff are very friendly and can not do enough for you. They have regular chats with me about Mum's care and if there are any issues (which is not often) they are dealt with. I feel confident to approach the Home Manager with anything, she and the office staff
are always willing to listen and help.
Overall my Mum has thrived in the Home, she interacts more with people, she loves the staff who are very patient, kind, caring and gentle with her. She has put weight on since she's been there, which she needed to do, and the Activities lady is brilliant getting the residents involved in different activities which keeps their minds and bodies active.
Thank you to everyone there. I do highly recommend you to anyone who asks me about Heather Vale and the environment there. You are all doing a fantastic job and I feel happy and relaxed knowing my Mum is being taken care off by you all. I cannot express my gratitude enough.

Heather Vale is a very caring, friendly residential home where I can I see my mum has thrived since living there. The staff are very approachable, knowledgeable and eager to help with yours or relatives concerns.
The home has good core values such as dignity, diversity, sensitivity and kindness to
their residents.
The food is of a high standard with good choices for nutritional needs.
Mum's room has an ensuite, is very spacious and has a lovely view onto the back garden.
I would not hesitate to recommend this lovely residential home.

My mother lived at Heather Vale for five months. At 96 she had a number of complex needs including Vascular Dementia. The staff at Heather Vale provided excellent care for mum. They really looked after her and in many ways became her family. Their support in issuing medicines and prompt action in involving
wider medical services was excellent. Mum was particularly prone to falls and the staff supported her superbly, looking in on her every 30 minutes to ensure her safety. Mum was always made to feel welcome. I am particularly keen to stress the support given to my wife and I as mum neared the end of her life. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble and I know that a number of staff went that extra mile to ensure mum's comfort and welfare.

I have been living here for nineteen months now and I am very happy. The carers are very caring and kind. I have a lovely room with an en-suite, it's like a little bedsit. There is also a big lounge where we can chat or watch television and have activities.

I'm very happy with the environment, care and support my dad gets at Heather Vale. The staff are friendly, caring, supportive, respectful and dedicated. My dad is happy and settled. I can see that the lounge activities are varied and good even though my dad prefers his own company and television. Residents
choices are respected in the home. The environment is light and welcoming and well maintained. I would be happy to stay here myself if I had the need.

After a difficult time for my aunties and uncle with various health issues, they moved together into Heather Vale.
The home is lovely, well-decorated and maintained
The lounge area is great and leads out to a nice garden.
The staff are wonderful. They are very caring and considerate and keep me
informed if there are any issues to be aware of.
It is such a relief to know that they are safe and well and that all their needs are being met.
Couldn't ask for more.

I feel such relief knowing my mum is cared for and safe in the care home. I am able to discuss Mum's care with all staff who are very helpful with nothing being too much trouble for them.
I would also like to mention how all staff/managers made Mum's birthday special with banners, balloons and a cake,
such a kind thought.
Thank you all very much.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Heather Vale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.910 for Heather Vale is calculated as follows: ( (285 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 311 Ratings = 4.91
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Heather Vale is based on 26 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 39 registered maximum number of service users is 7.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
