A very clean caring home from home for my father. The staff go out of their way to make sure everyone is individual One staff member is really helpful.
The nursing staff treat everyone with dignity and are proactive in care.

My sister was brought to Heathbrook House Care Home 14/4/23 she was in a very weak state having hardly eaten or drunk anything while elsewhere. She settled in quite well at Heathbrook House Care Home and she keeps telling us "They really look after us here and are so kind". the staff do try so hard
to get her to eat or drink something, mostly to no avail but I happened to be visiting on 31/5 when a nurse was feeding her porridge and she actually finished the dish full. then a cup of tea arrived, the nurse kept touching her lip with the cup and she finished the tea. we were all amazed. Never give up, just keep trying.

Cannot begin to describe how disappointed we were with Heathbrook House Care Home - on paper it had everything we were hoping for, for our mum's needs and when we viewed it we were over the moon. I'm just so happy that Mum only went in for respite - the staff that I saw were all lovely but there was
nowhere near enough - some days it was after lunch before Mum was even washed and dressed - and some items that we had taken in for Mum to use to make things easier, were lost.

Dad was given a really warm welcome from day one by the friendly staff at Heathbrook House Care Home. They have always gone over and above our expectations in terms of their care of Dad over a number of years. Dad felt his (often firm) opinions were listened to. We could see that he was treated with
respect and genuine kindness by staff past and present. He enjoyed choosing what he liked to eat and chatting to staff. Although he did not choose to take part, there were lovely activities with animal visitors, singing and themed days that many residents enjoyed.
The careful attention to our Dad's health needs and final wishes were exemplary. Our deepest gratitude goes out from our family to you all.

Dad has been here for several years and the care he has received has always been good. The care staff all know him and his likes/dislikes even though he is now at a stage of being non verbal.
The records are well maintained so even though we are unable to see him as often as we’d like (not local for
either son), there is an effective booking system.
Strict Covid restrictions are in place to protect both staff and residents.
In summary I believe his best interests are being met in what I can only imagine is challenging environment. His safety and well being and dignity are met.

Mom has been in Heathbrook now for 2 months after a 1-month stay in hospital. She is cared for very well; the staff are very patient with Mom and I am always contacted if there are any changes to her care plan. I have been to see Mom now 4 times since admission and find that the staff are always very
attentive and the home is very clean.

Mum went into Heathbrook after a stay in hospital. I always said I would not like her going into a home, but she was not capable or safe to go back to her own home. From day one the staff could not do enough for mum and myself. They were caring supportive and did everything to help mum settle in which
was hard for her with her dementia. I cannot thank them enough for looking after her especially towards the end of her life and making it possible for me to be with her at the end especially in these difficult times with covid. All though Heathbrook is a home for the residents, the staff gave myself and family support above and beyond their remit. I cannot thank them enough.

Reply from Melanie Cope, Customer Service Adviser at Heathbrook House Care Home

We are so sorry for your loss, please let us know if there is anything further we can do for you at this time.

The wonderful staff at Heathbrook House have really helped my dad settle well into full-time care. They manage his medical needs really well and deal patiently with his dementia. He did not want to move into care but they were patient when he arrived and within weeks he was happier and more content
than he had been for years.
The food is lovely, lots of varied activities to stimulate and encourage social interaction. The “Daily Sparkle“ newspaper is very popular with short articles, old stories to reminisce and puzzles.
Dad's move into care was so made much easier than I expected and I felt very supported emotionally too.
The home has dealt well with Covid and the visiting room with glass partition and intercom works well even for those with dementia.
It will just be so lovely when we can go in and visit in person.

My father has been in Heathbrook since September 2019 and my mother and myself are very pleased with this care home. They have treated my father with respect and kindness and have a very caring, understanding and helpful atmosphere within the home. My dad feels very secure and we can see by his behaviour
that he's very relaxed and happy within this environment.

I cannot praise the staff enough for the wonderful end of life care they provided to my Mum from July to September 2020. The nurses, care staff, activities team and management team were all outstanding. They treat residents like their own family. They took time to get to know Mum and also me and were
a great support during this terrible time. They genuinely care about the residents and they treated Mum with absolute care, patience, total kindness and with utter respect. They ensured Mum had dignity at all times. Room was lovely and was clean. Food and refreshments in abundance (even though Mum was not eating much due to her illness). Personal care needs were taken care of extremely well and clothes were always properly washed and ironed and mum dressed well. Contact was maintained with Mum and me through Facetime sessions. I was able to visit in last week of Mums life and I was there at the end. The team were so caring and supportive at all times. I highly recommend this care home.

Heathbrook House, in my opinion, having a parent there is a very caring, loving and professional nursing home.
I have only known kindness, understanding to my mom and myself. You are informed and kept up to date with situations regarding their needs and health issues.
I have only good things to say

My uncle was transferred to Heathbrook House in July 19, since then he has made a massive improvement. My uncle is now walking with his frame, he laughs again and thankfully he is enjoying his life again.
My family truly believe that the constant care he has received from the staff has saved his life.
He has been singing, eating well and smiling a lot. The staff truly care for all of the residents and we no longer have to worry about his care. We know he is in safe hands. I would recommend this care home absolutely. A big thank you.

We could not fault the care of my father. He asked for his room to be altered around; which the staff did. He had a brand new TV fitted. He was on permanent oxygen; which did not stop him from moving around the home, and they also supplied him with smaller oxygen cylinders for going out. The care of
the staff and nurses was wonderful, and they were so kind as well as efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. Excellent.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.752)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.752) out of 10 for Heathbrook House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.752 for Heathbrook House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (172 Excellents x 5) + (47 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 222 Ratings = 4.752

  • b) 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 Heathbrook House Care Home is based on 19 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
