Review from Essaji R (Son of Resident) published on 7 June 2018 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mother was a resident at Heathfield for just over a year. She was always treated with dignity and her particular cultural needs and values were always respected. She was happily and lovingly embraced by all the staff. She was content and always spoke of the kindness shown to her. My family and I were very happy in the care she received.

Review from Yvonne D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 18 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
We are delighted with the care mum is receiving at Heathfield. She has dementia and the love, care, respect and patience shown by the staff is outstanding. The meals, prepared by the chef are fabulous and we love the "dining in" experience where we can share a restaurant meal with mum at Heathfield!

Review from Robert B (Son of Resident) published on 8 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
Heathfield is a top quality residential care home for ladies. The high standards that mark it out as excellent start at the top with owners who are involved with the day to day running of the home. Not only do they personally interact with residents but they have also recruited a team of friendly, highly competent professional including a very good chef. The home is located in a quiet leafy suburb and is maintained to a high standard and the cleanliness is outstanding. Residents bedrooms are light and airy and are personalised to individual taste and requirements. An excellent choice for anyone who is responsible for the care, health and security of a loved one.
