Grandad seemed happy and clean and comfortable. The staff were very welcoming to us. I was happy to see he was in the living room with everyone- there was an attempt to make sure he was included even if he wasn't interested

My husband was a resident for a long time. I was always confident that he was being well cared for mentally and physically.
I would also comment on how the end of life care was so well planned. It was thoughtful and sympathetic to both my husband's needs and ours as a family.
I have always been made to feel welcome to come for a visit any time, often welcomed with a cup of tea and a biscuit and a chair found for me. Today I had a really busy morning without breakfast or lunch, and the manager brought me a coffee and a plate of pastries.

My nan is always happy at Heffle Court. Even though she is not a big fan of group activities, the staff always make sure that she has one to one sessions tailored on her likes and dislikes. The staff is caring and compassionate, keep up the good work

My auntie was at the top level of care and no other care home were willing to accept and calling her too much of a walker.. I needed someone anyone to just stop and listen and help..
I was at the end of a long list.. then she was admitted to hospital.. and further complications happened like a broken hip.
After passing on my findings to the hospital. They said no to heffle. As they were not on nhs primary lists. but over the next few months after not finding anyone to send my auntie too. They came back to me asking for heffle court details.. vlad and the team worked well with the hospital with a few false starts from NHS. But now that my auntie is here at heffle she is doing well.. she so needed the care of 24/7
Thank u heffle court.
Food excellent.
Always kept updated with any problems. Best home - have nothing negative to say, as happy with everything.

I am truly overwhelmed by the care and love shown to my parents. They honestly go above and beyond their job. I visit every day and always see happy residents. I am so thrilled to have found Heffle Court - it's not just a nursing home - it's far more than I can express. I feel like family.

The journey started last year to find a safe place for Dad, and each time we visit, it confirms our choice was the correct one.

I would also like to highlight the manager, who does an excellent job. They are highly capable, professional, and clearly know how to lead and maintain a strong, well-organized team. Their leadership makes a noticeable difference in the quality of service provided.
Overall,Heffle Court offers a reliable and caring environment, and I would recommend it to others.

My mother was placed at Heffle Court for her end of life days. The moment we walked in, we were given the best welcome. People could not do enough for Mum and also my family. Nothing was too much, we were never rushed, and when my mother passed, we were able to take our time to say our goodbyes to her. Also, if we needed any help at any time, all we had to do was ask. Thank you so much.
Excellent, can't fault. Attentive 1st class. My husband is happy, and so am I, as I know he is being well cared for when I'm not there.

My dad has been a resident of Heffle Court for 11 months now. Since our first meeting, Dad has been treated and cared for with dignity, love and respect. We have been kept well informed of any issues concerning Dad's health and mental and physical well-being. The staff caring for Dad are truly wonderful people, and Dad trusts them with his personal care. I really feel our family and the staff at Heffle are a team who want to make sure Dad has the very best care.

It's a pleasure to care for your Dad, and great to hear you feel he's being looked after with dignity. If there's ever anything more we can do to support him or you, please don't hesitate to ask!
