My mum is 98 and went into Heyberry house for her 1st Respite care in june 2025. we were very worried that she would hate being in a care environment and even put plans in place for her to go home if she wanted to. We had no need to worry as she loved her time there and extended her respite from 2 to
4 weeks following which, she became a permanent resident. The room she had was lovely, the food was freshly prepared and nutritious and the love and care she received was second to none. The staff deserve a special mention as they really do care about the residents and go out of their way to make every day special. Unfortunately mums care needs changed and she has had to go into nursing care which Heyberry house couldn't accommodate. Mum still talks very fondly of her stay there and the lovely people she met. we can't thank you enough.

My dad had to be urgently placed at Heyberry in June, following closure of the previous home he was residing at.
The staff had to settle in a number of patients at the same time and they did this with kindness and compassionate throughout. They not only helped dad settle in but we're a huge source
of support for both myself and my sister, having only recently moved him from his family home in April we were both extremely anxious and the staff made us feel cared for and listened to.
The team at Heyberry work extremely hard to make it a home for all the residents and their families.
Being a nurse with over 20 years experience of caring for people I can say that the team at Heyberry, from the kitchen to staff to the management team have always been friendly and approachable and always willing to do the best they can to accommodate dads needs. There has been ongoing work at heyberry and again the team have limited the disruption to the residents. Keep doing what you're doing team xx

Heyberry House provided short respite care for our Mum whilst she was waiting her permanent move into Upton Grange. This was our first experience of residential care and we could not have asked for anything better. Mum was instantly treated as 'one of the family' with every member of the team helping
her to settle through, what was for her, a very unsettling time. This was also true for us, the family members. The care, attention to every detail, the food and the location were all first class

In my working life, I on occasion was in most of the care homes in the area and I would like to say that Heyberry House is the most outstanding. The staff, every one of them, did everything possible to make Dad's time there as comfortable and pleasant as possible. They also made the relatives feel at
home. Thank you all!

The manager and his staff, cared for my Father from April this year, up to the present. During his stay, he was happy and his needs were always met with courtesy and professionalism from his dedicated team. His room was always spotless and his clothes were always quickly laundered and returned. The
surroundings in Heyberry were always bright and airy and the whole building gave off a good sense of wellbeing.

My lovely mother-in-law spent her final eight years here and it was one of the happiest times of her life. The staff are so attentive and caring, the food is remarkable (thanks to all the wonderful staff), lots of fun things to do and in a lovely, safe, clean environment. I saw her every day in the
final months and saw the staff close up. This is a wonderful place, I cannot thank you all enough for the care, attention and, dare I say, love you show to all the lovely residents. Miss you all. Fabulous place. Thank you again.

Heyberry House is a wonderful place. It was a true home to our Mum, where she spent a very happy year, she sadly passed away in March (in hospital).
When she decided to move into care, her mobility and general well-being were quite poor, but quite quickly her confidence and health were restored. She
enjoyed her meals which were carefully prepared to meet her needs by Heyberry's lovely cook. She regained much independence thanks to the support and good humour of all the staff.
For us as a family, we appreciated being welcomed in when we visited Mum in 'her home'. It was useful to use the conservatory when several of us visited and we enjoyed celebrating her 96th birthday in the lounge!
When she became poorly, we were contacted quickly and supported. When we returned to Heyberry after she died, the staff were so lovely, helpful and sensitive.
I would recommend Heyberry wholeheartedly.

My mother moved into Heyberry House four months ago and I now feel able to comment on her care. Firstly, I would like to thank the staff for how well they are looking after her. Staff are welcoming, caring and responsive. They all work incredibly hard, sometimes under extremely challenging circumstances.
I really appreciate the lengths they go to, especially with the demands that are sometimes made.
When mum has felt unwell they have responded quickly, ensuring she has been thoroughly checked over by themselves and clinical staff too. From my observation the staff really do care for their residents, not only that, they also care about them too. My sincere thanks to one and all.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
My mum was in Heyberry House for approximately 3 years, the 1st 2 years were really good, she was able to do a lot for herself, also make her own bed etc. In March last year she had a few falls and was hospitalised, unfortunately when she came out of hospital she was bedbound. Heyberry carers tried
to get her out of bed once or twice but said my mum would kick, scream and grab when she was put into a hoist. My mum had had a stroke many years before which took her voice away and she was very weak on one side, I asked to watch her being moved, there was no kicking and screaming at all. The next thing was they got a doctor involved to say she was uncontrollable so he put her on Diazapan which made her in a zombie-like state. The next thing was getting her on sloppy foods and thick easy in her drinks, also she should have been assisted which she wasn't which led her from being a 12 st lady to 7st 10 We have moved my mum now to another home which she is thriving off all meds and is back eating solid foods.
Reply from Carl Browne, Manager at Heyberry House

Thank you for your feedback and we are sorry that your' and your mums' experience was not to our usual high standards. We are pleased your mum is doing well. Our team always aim to provide the highest level of care and support to all our residents, including ensuring their comfort and well-being during transfers using hoists. In terms of administering Diazepam, I assure you that it is our policy to involve medical professionals only when necessary and with the well-being of our resident in mind. Medication was reviewed regularly, and our care team must follow the advice of health professionals to maintain the safety of our residents. Our team was following the advice of health professionals to give mum a modified diet, which again they cannot override. I apologise again for any shortcomings in the care provided to your mother and assure you that we are taking appropriate steps to address any outstanding issues.

Mum went into Heyberry 7 years ago, we didn't know what to expect but I can honestly say that we have been more than happy with the care Mum receives because the staff here are exceptional and we don't have any worries about her and this confirms that we made the right choice in Heyberry all those years
ago.

From the moment I spoke to the staff manager at Heyberry House everything was good. From the assessment at hospital to a trial stay and permanent stay.
The staff and the environment have helped to turn my uncle's life around. His wellbeing has soared and he is cared for by a great team of staff. I
would (and have) recommended Heyberry House.
The staff are caring and supportive, professional, and kind.
My family and I will be forever grateful for this.
It has affected all of us in such a positive way; knowing that my uncle is safe and cared for and respected.
Sending all the staff and their families best wishes for health and happiness. Thank you.

My mum is a fairly new resident and I visited many care homes before choosing Heyberry House.
As soon as I walked in, I could just feel a nice, warm, friendly atmosphere. It is clean and modern with spacious en-suite rooms and Mum tells me the food is very good! But the main reason I would recommend
Heyberry House is the wonderful team of kind, caring, helpful staff who work so hard to look after all the residents treating them with dignity, kindness and respect.

My friend has been a Heyberry House resident for six years. He is very well looked after, his needs are met with kindness and cheerfulness. The staff make a big effort to go the extra mile, for example, the Home is frequently decorated to coincide with the times of the year. My friend and all residents
I have seen are always treated with dignity and compassion. I would have no hesitation in recommending Heyberry House to anyone. A warm, welcoming and friendly place.

My brother has resided at Heyberry House for over three years. I have always found the staff very caring and helpful. They are aware of his personality and are understanding of his needs. The residents' rooms are of a good size and nicely furnished. The eating area is on the ground floor and is more
like a restaurant in layout with a weekly menu at the entrance.
My brother is always happy to return after we have taken him out for coffee and cake. The lounge area is very spacious and modern. During Covid when rules were allowed and viable, an area was prepared so that you visit under non-intrusive supervision.
The garden area is large and well set out.

The staff at Heyberry have cared for my mum, yet let her have her independence at the same time. They are always involved in activities and days out. They celebrate every occasion and are accommodating to family. It's sociable at meal times, and food is in constant supply. Mum has progressed so much

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.623)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.623) out of 10 for Heyberry House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.623 for Heyberry House is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 151 Ratings = 4.623
  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 Heyberry House is based on 12 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 41 registered maximum number of service users is 8.2, which has been reached with 12 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.
