All staff, including reception, ward, kitchen, etc, are always helpful, cheerful, and nothing is too much for them. Their approach to every person entering lights up your day. They are a credit to the profession they are in, and it should make you, as a company, very proud.

My review relates to my husband entire admission/stay in home. Excellent care except difficult to get in contact with doctor in home. Husband needs physiotherapy to help him to walk. Doctor should try to contact wife to update of husband ongoing progress/progression, etc in home.

Excellent staff. Very friendly. My cousin seems to be well cared-for here. (And the recent renovations are amazing!). The garden is so much better these days (though you might want to sort out the tree roots (or use a plastic ramp) for easier wheelchair access
Thank you for a lovely visit.

My mother's treatment and care has been amazing. I have had an extremely good experience with all the staff and they are always kind and cheerful and helpful. The nursing staff have looked after my mother's leg problems and kept me informed regularly when she has seen the doctor. My experience and that
of my mother's has been that she was always treated with dignity, love and attention. Thank you to everyone for her care.

Review from A W (Niece of Resident) published on 19 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The team have been very accessible and accommodating of my calls. Since I live in the US and have a different time zone. The warmth shown via phone calls was evident during my visit this past week; though meeting the Heritage staff for the first time in person, it felt like I'd met them before. I understand
remodelling is in progress or just completed, one feedback is caulking and leaking tap in the toilet.
Love the security, cleanliness, front office staff, Activity Coordinator. Amazing!
There's just one washing machine working so that delayed setting laundry back, but when laundry arrives it's clean, really clean.
Reply from OShien Salazar, Home Manager at Heritage Care Centre

Hello, thank you for your kind words about our team. We always strive to provide excellent care and service, not just towards the people living with us, but also to our visitors and our residents' loved ones. We appreciate you bringing up the issue regarding the leaking tap - we'll make sure we look into this right away. Lastly, we are happy to let you know that all our washing machines are now fully operational. Your feedback is helpful towards our improvement. Thank you for your support and appreciation!

Review from Lina M (Sister of Resident) published on 13 November 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Apart from a couple of staff members in the past whose attitude I found rather negative, I have found the vast majority of staff very caring and professional. I feel confident in the care they provide and their commitment is very obvious. I encounter different people at each visit and I have never doubted
their care for both residents and visitors. I cannot comment on management as I have little experience of that.
Reply from OShien Salazar, Home Manager at Heritage Care Centre

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a positive review. I'm glad to know that you are seeing a positive impact of the team's efforts towards our residents and visitors. Please know that you're always welcome to reach out and speak with me and the rest of the Management Team whenever you are visiting. Looking forward to connecting with you!

My father was discharged from hospital into Heritage Care Centre. We are very impressed with the care and support provided by the staff at Heritage. He has been very well looked after and the peace of mind this has afforded me, removes so much stress and worry from me. We really appreciate all the care
and attention we have received from everyone involved. The best of humanity!

My uncle was in the care home for over three months before his passing. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care, compassion and dignity they showed him in the last months of his life. Nothing was too much trouble and from the moment he entered the home I was kept updated on how he was doing, his
needs and the care he was being given. As a result, he was very happy and settled in no time. The atmosphere in the home is calm, secure and so welcoming. He was very content and it was a relief to know that his last months were spent in such an environment. Thank you.

5* care.
Sheer professionalism.
Service with a smile.
Friendly and efficient.
Warmth and sincerity.
5* cleanliness.
This is what comes to mind when we are talking about Heritage Care Centre and may I add it starts from the top. The motivation and encouragement that the manager gives to all her
staff is impeccable.
Thank you Heritage Care Centre.

My lovely dad was a resident at the Heritage Care home for the last 6 months of his life. They treated him with dignity and the utmost of care. He felt safe and looked after. I spent a lot of time at the care home during those 6 months and never once did I see or hear anything but genuine kindness towards
all of the residents. My family feel blessed that he ended his care.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.683)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.683) out of 10 for Heritage Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.683 for Heritage Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (52 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 189 Ratings = 4.683
  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 Heritage Care Centre is based on 17 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
