I have visited several other Care Homes and Nursing Homes; in my view, nowhere else compares to Heatherside. Heatherside is homely and one big family: all the staff know every resident well; they are all so kind and caring - a settled team, most have worked there for years.
The main lounge is very
spacious and bright, it opens out on to a large terrace and huge garden. The 2nd lounge is also nice: a quiet alternative with wi-fi.
All the food (Sunday roasts, home-made cakes, etc) are excellent. The rooms have wallpaper, are well-furnished; my father’s room had a wonderful view.
Thank you Heatherside for looking after my father so well - and for many happy memories: the warm welcome on his first day, the Firework Party, Christmas events, the friendly residents, the cats, the visiting pheasants - and much, more!!

Mum's been a resident for a month now after being transferred from hospital. Everyone has been most welcoming and nothing is too much trouble.


Although being refurbished, everywhere is kept clean and tidy. Visitors are made very welcome with plentiful tea/coffee and biscuits required.


A real credit

to the care home providers and not the horror stories you so often hear about. Well done everyone.

Thank you for your kind words, we love having your Mum here with us.

Generally very satisfactory apart from the absence of organised regular activities/stimulation for the residents.

Reply from Kerry, Care Manager at Heatherside Rest Home

Hi Alan, thank you for your kind words, we adored your sister in law. I'm sorry you felt the activities were lacking, we are currently working hard to put in place a structured activities plan. We do hope you'll pop in and see us all.

Right from the very first time of entering Heatherside last year to view accommodation for my very close friend, the staff were very friendly and warm.
She has settled in really well much to the kindness and understanding of all the staff.
I have to travel about 70miles to visit so only get to see
her every other week, but I do not have to worry as she is well cared for.
On my last visit my sister in law and I were going to eat our lunch in the car while our friend had hers, straight away we were offered an area where we could all eat together, how lovely and thoughtful.
A big thank you to all the staff.

Both my sister and I were very satisfied with the care our mum received, she was very happy there and the care and love were very much appreciated. Mother died with the people she came to love around her. Thank you so much to the staff, you will not be forgotten.

My mum moved to Heatherside in October 2015. It's a lovely setting with a large garden area, in the countryside. The communal lounge has been refurbished and is clean and bright. Since mum has arrived, her small but adequate room has been decorated and new bathroom 'furniture' added.
She has had the
opportunity to choose her colour scheme and add her own pictures etc. She enjoys the food and has gained weight. Staff are kind, patient and welcoming. Mum enjoys the bingo and events that are arranged. Heatherside is a lovely place.

My sister-in-law was a resident at Heatherside Care Home for eight years and during that time she was always treated with kindness and respect. During her last weeks the staff were so kind and caring and I could not have asked for better care and respect. I feel that Heatherside have a very dedicated
team of carers.

Reply from Tarnya Fairburn, Regional Manager at Heatherside Rest Home

Thank you for your kind words, the staff will miss her dearly. Take care and feel free to call in at any time.

We have been very pleased with the welcome received when mum moved to her new home at Heatherside 4 months ago. She has settled in well and is happy in her new routine. The staff are all very supportive and kind, although we would welcome more feedback from them as mum does get a little muddled up at
times, so it would be nice to know exactly what's going on sometimes! The food always looks appealing, good choice of menu. The new garden room is superb, offering a feeling of hotel spacious to the lounge area. Would definitely recommend!

My mum was admitted to Heatherside Care Home in April 2015. From viewing the home to present day the staff here are wonderful. They have been experiencing some trying times whilst working around a huge expansion to the home. During this time the carers, admin staff have always put the residents needs
first and foremost. The lady in admin is always available to answer any questions and is extremely polite and helpful. The staff are amazing with the residents and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Heatherside Rest 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 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.789 for Heatherside Rest Home is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 223 Ratings = 4.789

  • 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 Heatherside Rest Home is based on 19 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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 19 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.
