I found the care at Halden Heights excellent in every way. My mother was a resident for just over three years; I don't think that she would have lived that long if she had not been happy or if the care had not been good.

The staff are kind, considerate and loving, they enabled my father to pass with dignity and peace. My mother and I will be forever in their debt for enabling us to spend time with him which we may not have had. The home is tranquil and the grounds provide a beautiful aspect which makes the place all
the more special.

I was sent to Halden Heights to recover from a fractured femur
The accommodation and friendliness of staff was very good. I was given exercises to do while I was there to get my mobility back. The meals were varied and the portions good.
I did not know about the activities as it was a therapy stay.
The NHS funded my stay so can't answer the value for money section

Very impressed right from the start of my stay at Halden Heights Care Community. All the staff are smartly dressed, hard-working, organised and polite. You are always treated with dignity, support and care, and the staff still make time to spend with you if needed. The food and drinks are to a very
high standard and fresh delivered to your room. The rooms are large, basic, bright with wall-mounted TVs. Rooms and washrooms are cleaned daily. this home would be my first choice. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff

Review from Stephen B (Son of Resident) published on 17 June 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father was at the home following a fall at home and a brief period of recuperation and assessment on the NHS floor. He then remained in the home until he passed away a year or so later. He had complex needs, he suffered from Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and had suffered a stroke prior to us choosing
the home for him. Initially, we sent him to another home nearer to where we live, expecting the care to be at the standard offered at Halden Heights. Sadly that wasn’t the case and we swiftly moved him back thanks to the efforts of the manager and her staff. He settled back in quickly and his care from that day to the last was amazing. Even with Covid, we were kept in touch via videophone and he remained happy throughout. I can’t say enough how wonderful everyone was to him and us. I visited every other day prior to lockdown and I was made to feel very much part of the team looking after him. I can say that nothing was too much trouble for the staff. I can unreservedly recommend them.

Following a household fall and 3 days in hospital, I was transferred to Halden Heights with fracture problems and other nursing needs. The care and attention were amazing, the staff were outstanding, my en-suite room was a luxury, food was very good and my confidence improved each day. I was treated
with the utmost respect and now I am back home.

Comfortable single room with freeview television service, and an en suite bathroom/WC. Friendly and caring staff. The food is prepared on-site, so the quality is decent, but it could be a bit hotter in temperature sometimes. The only criticism I have is that I think the care provider should look
into a patient WiFi service, so users can video call family and friends.

Mum has been at Halden Heights since September 2019 following a number of falls in her own home, and a decision was made that this was the safest option for mum who is 90 years old. The care that mum receives is absolutely wonderful. All the staff are so caring and friendly. My husband and I feel that
we even have an extended family so to speak as we know all the staff and even the other residents. The surroundings are first class and kept exceptionally clean and tidy. The food is very good, mum certainly doesn't have any complaints, and whenever I have been there at meals times the food is always well presented and hot (and served on hot plates!). Christmas Day, a lovely traditional lunch was served, and pancakes on Shrove Tuesday. The social activities are very good, including baking, painting, they play bingo, have quizzes, and entertainment is arranged whereby various singers and groups come in to entertain the residents. Mum is happy at Halden Heights and I am happy knowing she is safe.

A welcoming place when visiting, shown by all staff, there was always a friendly smile or hello given which was welcome when feeling anxious for a loved one.
The staff attention and care shown to our mother in her last few months of life, and indeed to our family was exemplary.
We were always given
the opportunity to discuss our worries and mother's needs with a member of staff.
Excellent care overall.

From day of admission in May 2018, it was felt the whole team at Halden Heights showed great care and compassion towards my mother who, at times, needed a lot of care. From the receptionist, maintenance men, carers to the managers, no request from them to assist was ever a problem. They made my mothers
last days as happy as they could and I thank them for that.

My mother was resident at Halden Heights from 19th December to 21st January 2019 after having a fall at home resulting in a fracture to her left patella. She was in a lovely room with a beautiful view which also had a bird feeder outside her window, this made my mum extremely happy as she adores wild
birds and in fact, fell while out in her garden refilling her bird feeder. She was very happy and relaxed at Halden Heights having been really anxious about going for “rehab”. All she wanted was to go home, but she needn't have worried as the staff were lovely and friendly especially the day staff.
She is now home and says she is glad for that, but would have no worries if ever she needed to go back to Halden Heights again.
Thanks to everyone for your kindness and patience with my mum.

My elderly mother aged 97 suffered a stroke in November 2018 and having spent 4 weeks in hospital was then transferred to Halden Heights Care Home. A different environment whereby she solely occupied a bedroom with ensuite. Unfortunately, bed bound and only allowed a pureed diet due to swallowing difficulties
so a TV and a lovely view from her window was very important. The staff were always on hand to answer any questions and visiting was relaxing and one could make drinks. Christmas was a happy occasion and mobile residents enjoyed festivities. Overall I felt she was taken care of compassionately and safely.

My husband is resident in Halden Heights care community and has been since October 2016. He has a very pleasant room on the ground floor overlooking the garden. During this time my family and I have had open access to the matron and the relevant nursing staff when issues relating to every aspect of
my husbands current and ongoing care are discussed. Due to my husband's health, he becomes very frustrated at times and the nursing staff respond in a sensitive manner in an overall atmosphere of kindness and sensitivity. My husband takes part in some activities available and shows signs of enjoying the experiences. It is a considerable relief to me to know that my husband is in a safe environment, cared for by nurses whom I have always observed show him warmth and kindness.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.854)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.854) out of 10 for Halden Heights Nursing Home 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 55 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 55 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 4.854 for Halden Heights Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (556 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 637 Ratings = 4.854
  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 Halden Heights Nursing Home is based on 55 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 101 registered maximum number of service users is 20.2, which has been reached with 55 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.
