My father has been in Weald Heights Care Home for two years now and really couldn't be happier with the all-around care that he receives. The staff in particular are extremely attentive and patient and staff turnover seems to be almost non-existent which is usually a sign of a well run institution.
Reply from Amelia Moore, Reviews Team at Weald HeightsThank you so much for taking the time to share this wonderful review. We are absolutely delighted to hear that your father has been so happy during his two years with us at Weald Heights.
Our team works hard to provide attentive, personalised care, so your kind words mean the world to us.

We will be sure to pass your lovely feedback along to the entire team. Thank you for trusting us with your father's care.

Wonderful, caring and kind people - I couldn't have wished for a better environment for my Dad's elder years. It's expensive but so worth it. We tried looking after him at his own home for a while, but moving him here was the best decision we could have made.
Reply from Amelia Moore, Reviews Team at Weald HeightsThank you so much for your review. We understand that transitioning from home care to a residential home is a deeply emotional decision, and we are incredibly glad to hear that it has been the best choice for both you and your father. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the cost; we are fully committed to ensuring our high standards of care, facilities, and daily activities for our residents and their families.
We will proudly share your lovely comments with the entire team. Thank you.

My mother has been a resident since January 2020. The staff took great care of her throughout Covid and did everything to help maintain contact during Lockdown. They have always helped to keep her as mobile and involvesd as possible although, aged 102, she is now mainly bedbound. On her good days my
mother is out of bed and has been taken outside when the weather is good. The staff are all exceptionally kind and always treat my mother with the greatest of respect. I have full confidence in Weald Heights.
The receptionists are always kind, helpful and welcoming and the management and office staff have always been helpful and responsive. Weald Heights is first class.
Reply from Amelia Moore, Reviews Team at Weald HeightsThank you so much for this lovely review. We are incredibly proud to have cared for your mother since January 2020, and your full confidence in Weald Heights means so much to all the team.
Hearing that our efforts during the challenging lockdown periods kept you connected brings us immense comfort. Our dedicated team always strives to maximize mobility and engagement for our residents, and it is a privilege to help your mother enjoy the fresh air and sunshine outside on her good days, even at her remarkable age of 102. We are also delighted that you highlighted the exceptional kindness of our care staff, alongside the welcoming nature of our reception and management teams.
We will be sure to share your praise with everyone in the home. Thank you for your continued trust in us.

I am so grateful for the exceptional care my mother receives at Weald Heights Care Home. She is on the nursing floor, where the friendly nurses monitor her health closely, and in the six months since she arrived, we have seen a dramatic improvement in her well-being.
The care staff consistently go above
and beyond to ensure her comfort and happiness. The home is clean, well maintained, and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The food is great too. My mother clearly enjoys spending time with her main carers, and there are plenty of smiles and laughter. All the staff are compassionate, attentive, and genuinely caring. My brother, sister and I have welcome peace of mind knowing she is in such good hands.
From the moment we first toured Weald Heights, we were impressed, and our experience since then has only strengthened that view. I would highly recommend Weald Heights to anyone looking for a caring, supportive, and professional environment for someone they care about.
Reply from Amelia Moore, Reviews Team at Weald HeightsThank you so much for this wonderful review and for highly recommending Weald Heights. We are delighted to hear about the dramatic improvement in your mother’s well-being over the last six months.
Our nursing and care teams take great pride in delivering attentive, compassionate support, so knowing that her days are filled with smiles and laughter means everything to us. It is also fantastic to hear your positive feedback regarding our fresh food, cleanliness, and the peace of mind we have been able to provide you, your brother, and your sister. We always aim to make a great first impression during tours, and we are so glad that our daily care has lived up to that standard.
We will happily pass your kind words along to her main carers and the rest of our team.

I am completely impressed with the quality of care and the amount of care given. Every aspect of the home is superior and I would not consider having my husband in another facility. The food is delicious with meaningful choices. The garden is inviting with beautiful and seasonal plantings.

I moved my mother into Weald Heights in November 2025. The staff took a lot of time to make sure they understood her, particularly her likes and dislikes and her medication, before she moved in. She settled into the home very quickly and made friends easily. I am confident that staff know her well and
treat her with great kindness and empathy. She is happy in the home and says she feels secure and cosy there. I feel a huge sense of relief knowing that she is being well looked after. I visit regularly and I enjoy my visits because I can see how happy she is

Dad has been at Weald Heights for a year and is so happy there. Every staff member is kind, caring and professional. They make Dad feel valued, supported and safe. He is treated with great dignity and, given his dementia, is positively thriving. He enjoys visits to the café and devours the amazing homemade
cakes. He spent most summer afternoons sitting outside in the patio garden, enjoying interacting with family, other residents and visitors. The entertainments are very good. Dad particularly benefits from the one-to-one therapies. The staff have taken over Dad's medical care and appointments, but still involve the family in all medical discussions. Communication is excellent and they phone us immediately if there are any issues. Weald Heights has made us all feel part of its wider family, and the staff support all of us through their wonderful care for Dad and their great kindness to us. Congratulations to Maria and her team, and thank you to all of you. You are outstanding.

The staff have been excellent in helping mum to settle. It has taken a long time and been a tough journey, but everyone at Weald Heights has been so supportive and caring.

We have over an hours journey to visit our sister in law who has been a resident for nearly six years, when we arrive we are always greeted with a warm smile from both the lovely receptionists, and also the coffee machine and cakes are very appreciated. As always our sister in law is perfectly dressed
and looks lovely, she was always very particular about her appearance and this is so nice to see, even with her dementia, we hopefully think she now and again feels it, this is down to the amazing staff in her care. Also a mention to the wonderful hairdresser. Weald Heights in our opinion is exceptional and the award they received confirms this.

My Dad has been at Weald Heights since November 2024. Over the past nine months the staff have worked hard to get to understand my Dad's needs and interests, and to tailor their care accordingly. They communicate clearly and regularly with me and other family members so we know how Dad is getting on
between our visits. It is to the staff's credit that they remember each of our names and are welcoming when we visit. The coffee bar and outside space is very well stocked and maintained and gives me and other family members an ideal venue to meet with Dad when we visit. In summary, my Dad is very settled at Weald Heights and me and my family appreciate all the care and support he is receiving from the Weald Staff team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Weald Heights is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 58 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 57 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.857 for Weald Heights is calculated as follows: ( (605 Excellents x 5) + (58 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 679 Ratings = 4.857
  2. 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 Weald Heights is based on 57 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16, which has been reached with 57 Positive reviews.

Maria Covington

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2016

I’m a registered nurse by training and have worked in older people’s care for 25 years. Before joining Weald Heights in 2016, I had managed a large care home for ten years. I’ve been at Weald Heights since before it opened its doors. I’m delighted at the way my team and I have made it a home with a first-class reputation.


I believe in setting the standard, rather than following, and we take an innovative, personalised approach to resident care. When residents said they fancied learning a new language, we set up Spanish lessons and joined with a local parent and toddler group so that the generations could learn together. And when a gentleman, who is a keen musician, wanted to visit the Royal Albert Hall for his 90th birthday, we worked with his family to make it happen and to give him an unforgettable day.


I was delighted with our ‘good’ rating from the CQC, which we gained in September 2018. I’m now looking forward to continuing to work with my skilled and passionate team to go one better. Our aim now is to become an ‘outstanding’ provider of great care for older people in Sevenoaks, and across Kent and the South East of England.
