Thank you for your kind words. We're so glad to hear that your mum is enjoying the care and companionship of our wonderful team. We're sorry to hear she's unhappy about not being able to feed the birds. Unfortunately, we found that feeding them was attracting other unwanted visitors. However, we'll be working with her to do some fun bird-related activities that we hope she'll enjoy. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. While we strive to ensure everything is ready for our guests upon arrival, we clearly fell short in this instance and are truly sorry. Regarding the shower chair and footrest, these items are not typically provided, as many families prefer to bring their own for comfort and familiarity. We're pleased to hear that most concerns were resolved promptly and that a particular staff member made such a positive difference. Please rest assured we will share your praise with him. Your comments will help us address these matters and provide the high standard of care you expect. Thank you again, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.

Thank you for your review. We apologise you’ve experienced a wait during the weekends. Loved ones are welcome at any time and some periods are busier than others, so please bear with us. While the whole team are involved in activities, including our weekly minibus trips, I’m delighted that a new member of staff, who will be completely dedicated to activities has just joined us. Sometimes our staff also spend time in the lounges updating our electronic care planning system, which is a bespoke system enabling us to update care plans at the point of care, which gives us more time to spend more time with our residents. If you would like to speak to our home manager directly, she would be very happy to meet with you.

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.655) out of 10 for Heathlands Residential Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.
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 4.655 for Heathlands Residential Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (196 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 261 Ratings = 4.655
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 Heathlands Residential Care Home is based on 21 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 21 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.
