Review from Ian F (Son of Resident) published on 13 April 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My mother has been at Greenacres, Heckington, for nearly 2 years and I think they are a superb care home. Very professional and caring staff, they have been absolutely fantastic with my mother, always treating her with great dignity and kindness, and most of all, as a PERSON with her own foibles and ways and that may be a big reason why her dementia has hardly progressed at all in the time she has been there. Lots of activities, friendly staff, and always amenable to personalising her room etc. Very proactive in looking after the medical side of things and her emotions too. A byword for excellence in my book. I cannot thank Greenacres enough for how they have looked after my mum.

Inspection ratings
We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
