Review from Sarah (Daughter of Resident) published on 17 October 2018 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My dad has received excellent care at Heavers Court. The staff are caring and professional and the manager is approachable and quick to try and resolve any issues brought to her attention. The activities leaders always try and engage the residents in a good range of activities. The home has supported my mum at a difficult time and has made the whole family feel very welcome. I am very impressed with the service and would definitely recommend.

Review from B J B (Friend of Resident) published on 21 September 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My friend has been in Heavers Court for a number of years, first in residential and then in the nursing unity. The care is excellent and my friend has to be fed and cannot move. There have been no bed sores and all the carers treat her with love and respect. They should all be valued and paid a decent wage.

Overall Experience
I have found this home:
1) Well staffed.
2) The staff are warm, friendly, caring and make us feel welcomed.
3) I have seen a great improvement in my father.
4) The place is clean and well run.
5) My only concern has been where formalities might have been better carried out away from my father.

Review from S G (Daughter of Resident) published on 15 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
My mum has been at Heavers Court for 2 and a half years. The staff have been exceptional for the whole of this period.
Their care of my mum is beyond excellent. My mum is more settled, calm and happy than she has been for the last 10 years. I cannot rate Heavers Court highly enough.

Review from Mary S (Friend of Resident) published on 15 August 2017 Submitted via Postal Card•
Overall Experience
I visit my friend in the Holly unit every Thursday. I am always very impressed with the way the staff, without exception, treat the residents, with patience and respect. They help those who need help to come to the table at lunch time and I'm sure at all other times also.
They help feed those who are unable to feed themselves.

The Holly unit is clean and cheerful. They have various entertainment for the residents. I was present on one of these occasions and it was nice to see the residents included by asking them questions and asking their views. The food is good and plentiful.

Overall Experience
My Grandma was in the care of Heavers Court for 9 weeks, the experience was not good whilst in that home. The communication between staff and family relatives was again not good. Heavers Court did provide nutritious 3-course meals which were excellent.
↩Reply from Samantha Debenham, Marketing Support Administrator at Heavers Court
We were very grateful to receive your comments and sorry that Heavers was unable to provide the level of care that your relative required. We understand that Heavers Court discussed this very early on with the placement provider requesting that a specialist placement or additional resources was...
