My mum had been in Heathlands Care Home for two years. Passed away two days ago, surrounded by family, nurses and carers. This home is amazing the staff, nurses and carers are excellent.
We as a family visited, and spent hours with mum, every day, we joined in with everything. The care and compassion
she received was just outstanding. They will be our friends always.

Just to express how much Heathlands care home has changed for the better especially with the leadership and clinical leads.
My mother is well cared for and the carers and nurses on her unit really put my mind at ease when I'm not there.
Whilst visiting my Mum, regularly I see how attentive the carers
are and they know Mum's favourite things, Mum can be very difficult at times but the carers especially a regular few who Mum really likes.
This home in the last 12 months has been well led and makes such a difference.
I can approach them anytime and things are dealt with very promptly.

Although my father was only 7 days in Heathlands before he passed away on the last day of January, he had excellent care during that time. The staff were very efficient, kind and above all, he was treated with respect.
I don't think you could ask for anything more. I would most certainly recommend
Heathlands.

Review from M S (Friend of Resident) published on 30 January 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My very good friend arrived at Heathlands in July 2017 and stayed there until he passed away in January 2019. At first, there were lots of staff changes and temporary staff but the new director worked very hard at improving the services. The caring staff have been superb and very supportive of both
my friend and myself, including in the last few weeks. And I know that my friend has been happy there. A big food lover, he loved his meals there and even gained weight and the food still looked appetising even when it needed to be pureed. The whole home, including the rooms, always smelled clean and fresh. My only disappointment was regarding activities. They seemed good for mobile residents but not so great for those with mobility problems. And I wish my friend had been taken outside from time to time to a nearby park or even just to the garden. So some improvements still need to be made but I would nevertheless recommend this place as a lovely home to be in.

My mother came to the care home in September 2018. Since being at Heathlands her appetite had improved and she became more alert and happier. When I first came to the home on my mother's admission, I was pleasantly welcomed and greeted by the deputy manager and everything was explained to me and I was
able to ask questions about my mums care. The place smelt lovely and was and is very clean. My mother is well known to the staff on her floor and they have a good rapport with each other. I would definitely recommend this care home.

My partner entered Healthlands for palliative care die to terminal cancer. We were welcomed into the home by nurses, carers and management.
We also have a nine-year-old son who has also been welcomed with open arms. Heathland, in my opinion, is a fantastic, great staff who are very caring and nothing
is too much trouble. Food is great and very delicious. Rooms are very comfortable and homely.

My Dad was a resident at Heathlands after a direct transfer from the hospital. Knowing that your Dad is going to die is the hardest thing to comprehend. However, meeting a member of staff who reassured us that Dad will be in good hands, well she was true to her word. Cannot express my gratitude to her,
all sister and the nurses, even the chef were amazing. God bless such an amazing care home.

From the day my dad arrived, I have found all the staff very helpful and friendly. Clothes are always clean and fresh smelling. The entertainment is always good. Just wish they could help trying or encouraging him to walk each day with a frame. Overall I have no complaints.

My mother had been a resident at Heathlands for 15 months up to her recent demise. Whilst at Heathlands, mum was treated with utmost care and kindness. It was a huge relief to the family to know that she was respected as an individual whilst giving us huge piece of mind knowing that she was safe and
sound. We are all grateful for all that was done for mum from the chef, care teams, nurses, activity team to the management.

Modern, purpose built nursing home. All staff helpful and courteous. Great care and kindness shown to my mother at all times. She was always, at 98, very peaceful and relaxed. This home is far superior to other homes we have visited. Mother was NHS funded.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.243)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.243) out of 10 for Heathlands Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.243 for Heathlands Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (115 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (14 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.243
  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 Heathlands Care Home is based on 17 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 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
    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 84 registered maximum number of service users is 16.8, which has been reached with 17 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
