I have found Halden Heights Care Home to offer exceptional care. All surface areas are cleansed on a daily basis and floors swept and hoovered. This is the reason the home always smells fresh and inviting. Nurses and carers remain in the lounge areas with the residents and help is on offer immediately
when it is needed. Nurses regularly check any resident who is diabetic, toileting needs are dealt with immediately, there is no waiting and assistance is always on hand in these areas. I have found all staff to be pleasant & happy and they all offer 1st rate care. There is a first class choice of meals and I feel relaxed that my husband is here.

Mum is a long-term resident of the care home and has always received the highest standard of care from the friendly and professional staff. They are always on hand to help and nothing is too much trouble. The home is extremely well maintained by the matron who is clearly loved and respected by the staff

Halden Heights Nursing Home cared for my husband in his last weeks, throughout the care was professional, caring and kind. He was watched closely and all his needs were attended to and whenever there was a change in his condition, I was told, either personally when I visited or by telephone call. The
atmosphere was always cheerful and the staff even made my husband smile! Halden Heights is an excellent home, I thoroughly recommend it.

I am a retired nurse
with 40 plus years experience and have encountered many care and nursing homes during my working life and I wouldn't have any hesitation in recommending Halden Heights as an option for anyone requiring additional support later in life where their quality of life will be enhanced and enjoyed.

My mother lived at Halden Heights for 20 months. She had vascular dementia and was always treated with kindness, respect and dignity. I can't fault the care she was given.
We were always informed promptly of any issues and updated regularly. Special thanks to the staff on Daisy Floor. They are very
special people.

Reply from Eleanor Healthcare Group, Halden Heights Team at Halden Heights Nursing Home

My father commenced living at the home after several falls and an end of life diagnosis. Although it was a mentally difficult time for him, he and I appreciated the kindness, professionalism and attention that he received from all of the staff. During the last difficult days, he was able to maintain
his dignity and at the same time be given the help that he needed in a way that met his own personal needs.
From the moment my father entered the nursing home to when he passed away, I can honestly say that all of the staff were helpful, kind and patient. If my father had remained in the community, I do not think that I would have been able to provide him with that level of care even with help from external agencies. I cannot thank the staff enough for everything they did for my father and I know that he was grateful also, although not able to fully communicate this at the end.

Reply from Eleanor Healthcare Group, Halden Heights Team at Halden Heights Nursing Home

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We are deeply honoured to hear that the care provided brought comfort and dignity during such a challenging time. Our team is committed to offering compassionate and personalised support, and it's heartwarming to know that this was felt. Providing kindness, patience, and professionalism is always our priority, and your words mean so much to us. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your father's care journey.

This is a wonderful care home and was where our Dad spent his final years, in safety and comfort, as a dementia patient/resident. From day one, the manager and the team made Dad at home, feel loved and protected. They are a truly special team who clearly form bonds with the residents, which carries
over into their dutiful, attentive and loving care. We also want to give thanks to the owners who have continued to invest in the facility, and in particular the gardens and grounds. Spectacular in the summertime. I would highly recommend Halden Heights to anybody.

In my experience, all staff are friednly, respectful and caring to residents/visitors. Any issues being dealt with speedily. However, if there is one concern I have, it would be staffing levels at the weekend! I appreciate that organising weekend rotas is not an easy task especially when holidays and
sickness come into the mix.
I would point out that this is a personal observation, but one I hope is not overlooked.

Reply from Eleanor Healthcare Group, Halden Heights Team at Halden Heights Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that your positive views of our staff and your concern about weekend staffing is noted. We understand the importance of maintaining consistent care at all times and your observations are valuable and help us continuously improve.

We were very pleased with the care that our relative received at Halden Heights. He was admitted following palliative care at Hospital and he received excellent care at Halden Heights until he passed. Staff were attentive and helpful. As we live a distance away, it was very important to us that our
relative was safe and well looked after. We found this to be the case at Halden Heights and we are grateful to all involved in looking after our loved one. The manager was always very responsive to our requests and even responded to emails during the evening which we appreciated. In summary, Halden Heights appears to be very well run and managed, with staff who seem to take genuine care and interest in the wellbeing of the residents.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Halden Heights Nursing 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 53 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 53 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 4.827 for Halden Heights Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (517 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 611 Ratings = 4.827

  • 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 Halden Heights Nursing Home is based on 53 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 101 registered maximum number of service users is 20.2, which has been reached with 53 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.
