My husband has been in Heanton nursing home for over 2 years. He is very well looked after. I can sleep at night knowing he is cared for.

Review from June S (Friend of Resident) published on 11 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My friend has been at Heaton for over two years.
The care and staff are fantastic and do a wonderful job.
I have seen the care home and improve and I do like to extra rooms and corridor for sitting in.

The residents are well fed and I particularly like the fruit and cheese served in the morning. I love the new kitchen upstairs. My only grumble - too much Radio 1 type music, should also play the older war-time songs as well.

Overall Experience

I think it is a very caring place. The staff relate to my partner with dignity, respect and kindness. The ethos of the home is very person-centred, where they really try to be aware of and respond to each individual. I am very impressed but relieved with their high standard of care.

My wife came to Heanton in May 2017. She is much more settled here than at home. Family visit and take her for walks.

Everyone and everything is really nice.
