After a fall at home and a hospital stay, we realised it was no longer safe for mum to return to her bungalow, even with carer visits! We chose Heffle Court for her, and they were extremely helpful and understanding with moving and settling her in, back in March this year! Although at first it was difficult for her to accept the change, she is now settled and accepts everything around her! My brother and I are more than happy with all aspects of the care she receives. We are relieved to know she is in a safe environment, provided with good health meals, and has company at all times! Recently, mum celebrated her ninety-ninth birthday, and once the staff knew all the family wanted to celebrate with her, the home arranged a room (beautifully decorated and set up) by two young carers, food, drinks and cake!

My husband has settled really well and always is relaxed when I visit. All the staff are very attentive and very caring. The food is amazing. I like the fact that most people spend their time in the communal area and are content.

The building is a light and airy purpose built facility. The staff were excellent, caring and respectful to all the residents. My mother had truly excellent palliative care at the end of her two year stay in the home.
The big downside for me was financial admin. I was unaware that the direct debit for fees was incorrectly set up by the finance team and I received a substantial bill in the second year to remedy the error. I also continued to receive invoices after my mother had died. All in all quite stressful hassle because the sums involved are substantial.
We pride ourselves on the resident experience and are pleased to hear you were happy with your mothers care during her time at Heffle Court. We have passed on your feedback to the team, and they will use your feedback to continue to improve the services we provide.

Cannot fault the team at Heffle Court. The overall care, understanding and professionalism are top-class. We approached them when an emergency placement was required and they dropped everything to accommodate my uncle. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to any of my friends.

I lead my professional Care Team in delivering the highest level of care and support for our residents.
My commitment to professional development has equipped me well for my role here, where I work hard to ensure that those in my care lead happy and fulfilling lives, whilst maintaining choice over the care and support they receive.
I believe in maintaining strong relationships with residents and their relatives, and understand the important contribution that these relationships make to the successful running of a care home.
I feel that the Care UK philosophy matches up well with my own beliefs on care provision and I am committed to ensuring that all our residents continue to receive the high levels of care and protection they deserve.
