My mother has been in this care home, her own choice of where she wanted to live, for the last 3.5 years and is very happy and well looked after on Bracken unit. The home is always clean and her visitors say how nice it is when they visit. Most of the staff are friendly and very caring and the individual
rooms are cleaned on a daily basis and have a high standard of comfort. The food is mostly good, certainly there is a good variety of choices each day and the activities team are absolutely brilliant in making it an enjoyable and fun place to be for those who can attend anything they organise. All the activity team do their best to make sure all residents are invited and help them join in many things including bingo, music therapy, cinema viewings, cooking, decorating for events, trips out in the minibus and many more. If you ask my mum about how she feels about living there, she will say she is very happy.

Bracken Unit has been my elderly aunts home for almost a year now. As a family it is so reassuring to visit her knowing just how well she is cared for. Staff are always polite, helpful and cheerful, which can only make this a lovely place to live. The unit is always clean and tidy. We are always welcomed
and have even held a birthday party for my aunt. Staff seems to make lots of effort to make this place feel like home!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After visiting many care homes, little heath was the only one I wanted my mum to go to. As soon as you walk through the doors, greeted by friendly staff and management who go's above and beyond in welcoming you through a difficult distressing time. Now 16 mths on nothing has changed. All staff throughout
departments friendly professional in what job they do. The homemakers do a fantastic job entertaining residents daily doing various activities and go on outings. The home is clean, homely and fresh, the rooms are spacious (better than some hotels). The meals are adequate for the residents appetite, I sometimes get a taste of what's on the menu and pass on any compliments to the kitchen staff which I have on occasions. The outside garden wrap around building where residents and
visiting families can walk, talk and sit take in the view and fresh air and quiet time. If any concerns (which I've had none thus far) I know management would deal with it straight away. I'm grateful & thankful

Mum is well looked after and treated with respect, always clean and she always seems hapy in herself. Her nursing needs are high because of her leg ulcers. I'm happy with the level of care she receives. All members of staff are very helpful, friendly and approachable.

My mother has been a resident since 3/2024. She is very happy and content. When she entered she was very frail and confused. Over the months the nurses, carers and staff have brought her back to a stable condition. She has put on weight, enjoyed outings, had great attention, loves the food. I cannot
speak highly enough of her team and the nursing home in general.

My Father has been resident at Little Heath for over 3 years. The staff all look to make his stay as comfortable and interesting as possible. If there are any health concerns these are effectively dealt with obtaining professional medical opinion if required. There are so many options for involvement
in activities that are stimulating and enjoyable for him. Staff know him so well they know which ones he loves. He is also included in days out to activities and visits to places of interest - all maintaining as 'normal' as possible a life for him.
The team at Little Heath are constantly looking at ways of improving and this includes the recent addition of a pub serving non alcoholic drinks where it's great to enjoy a drink in a really relaxed pub like atmosphere.

mum has been living at Little Heath for little over 10 months. Your loved one moving into a care home can be a daunting prospect for any family.
The transition to her new home couldn't have been made easier for all of us.
All the staff are always respectful and caring. They took time to get to
know mum as an individual, showing a genuine interest in her life and us as a family. We know we are welcome at any time to visit.
They work hard to support her care needs and maintain her independence. The home is clean and well maintained. Mum was able to personalise her room which was perfect.
The homemakers and staff enrich the lives of us all with their enthusiasm and creativity - from the Celebrate India afternoon of dancing music and traditional food to Aloha Hawaiian themed afternoon with singing and dancing to day trips and of course bingo and boccia.
The home is well run and management approachable and visible - often seen joining in activities.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.309)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.309) out of 10 for Little Heath Care & Support 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 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 8 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 4.884 for Little Heath Care & Support is calculated as follows: ( (86 Excellents x 5) + (7 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 95 Ratings = 4.884
  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 4.425 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Little Heath Care & Support is based on 8 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 = 3.8
    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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 12.8 = 0.625
  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.
