Although my mom's stay here wasn't to be too long from the moment she arrived she seemed to relax and be at peace. I had moved her from a failing previous care home and they made us both feel welcome from the onset.


From Admin too care staff and handymen all were friendly and efficient.


On

the day of my mom's death the staff were so helpful and compassionate, they even cried with me as my mom passed over quite suddenly.

Reply from Tracey Burke, Home Manager at The Heathers

Thank you very much for your kind words which I will pass on to the staff team. It was a pleasure to care for your Mum and provide you with support at this sad time.

My Mum arrived at The Heathers still very poorly after several stays in hospital in the previous 6 months. Her experiences prior to this had been stressful but from the moment we arrived I felt we had her in the right place. Everyone welcomed us with smiles, and they were clearly a caring and dedicated
team. Everyone of the staff were there to help and all of them provided an outstanding service. On the day my mum passed away I was overwhelmed by the care and respect of the team. They are truly a special bunch of people and deserve a high level of praise. There were so many people involved with my mum but from Management team to the Cook every one of them worked so hard and made sure that they met my mum's needs. The Heathers is a very special place, run by very special people helping families to achieve the very best of care for their loved ones. I cannot thank them enough!

Reply from Helen Cain, Office Manager at The Heathers

Both my parents have been in the Heathers since October 2023. They have now sadly passed away within a short time of each other. Whilst we are grieving we are also immensely thankful that their last stages of life were spent at The Heathers. Each and every member of staff has shown such respect and
love for our parents. Words cannot do justice to the kindness that has been shown to them. The Heathers is a shining example of how a home should be run.

My sister was assigned to The Heathers after being discharged from the hospital. Whenever anybody has to go into a care home, there are concerns about how the care home cares for their patients.
During the few days my sister was at The Heathers, communication, care, friendliness and attitude from
all the staff, whom I came in contact with were outstanding, in fact, it was excellent.
When visiting, we were made very welcome, staff always had time to answer our questions. All in all, we are very impressed, so well done, The Heathers.

Reply from Annu Joshi, Office Manager at The Heathers

Thank you so much for your review. Collectively, in the home we try and create a great experience for not only residents but family members too and try and help in any way we can. I will pass on your kind review to all the staff at our home.

I have already written a review about the care my mother and father were receiving at The Heathers where they were admitted in the palliative care stage of their life last year. This review relates to the passing of both my parents recently and the care both they and myself, my sister received in the
final stages of their life. To say this was exemplary would be an understatement. The care and kindness shown to us all was well beyond expectation from all staff, both day and night. Whilst their passing is sad we are able to keep the happy memories of our parents right up until the last moment. I cannot thank the staff enough for what they gave us. This is what end-of-life care should look like.

Myself, my sister and husband visited our auntie today and were extremely impressed with what we saw. My auntie has only been in just over a month and the difference in her is unbelievable. We travelled quite a way and the welcome and hospitality we received was wonderful. We can honestly say it is
by far the nicest care home we have ever visited. The place is immaculate, the staff are so lovely and the food excellent. The care she is receiving is second to none. We left knowing she is being very well looked after and she is so happy in there.

My mother was transferred from hospital into The Heathers Nursing Home on the 29th of December 2023, already she has gained weight and started walking again with her walking frame. The staff and management have been excellent with her, they go above and beyond. My sister and myself can't thank them
all enough, we haven't seen our Mom eat as well as she has since being there for a long time. Activities staff have been brilliant with her. Thank you all so much for the excellent care.

My mother was a resident at the Heathers Nursing Home for six months. All the staff are a credit to the home. All the time she was there the care, support, and friendliness of all the people we came into contact with was second to none. My mom was treated with dignity and care at all times we were never
worried when we left her after visiting as we knew she was in good hands. Nothing was too much trouble and they made her very comfortable. We really can't thank the staff enough.

We were all so worried about mum before she went to hospital then she collapsed at home at the age of 102, an amazing lady who had looked after not only herself but a disabled son too. When The Heathers took her in for her final days it was like a light at the end of a very long bleak tunnel. Your wonderful
staff were so kind and considerate and helped us as well. Many many thanks to you all.

Words don't do The Heathers and the wonderful team of people that work there enough justice. Before we met the team at The Heathers, we were really struggling. The sad reality that old age catches up on us all, coupled with dealing with the reality that you think you can do more than you actually can
and need help. This was a hard one for us all to come to terms with.
Thanks to The Heathers, from the moment you press the bell to enter the building, you are made to feel welcome and get a warm feeling from all. Everyone from the receptionists, cleaners, nurses, and activity/events team who are all brilliant. Two members of staff who got my mum interested in her art again and make her laugh every day and have given her a purpose. The wonderful cooks who make wonderful home-cooked food and deliver it with a smile. Everybody is there to help.
It's a great place to spend your final chapter or maybe a few new chapters and I would highly recommend it if you are struggling.

Reply from Annu Joshi, Office Manager at The Heathers

Thank you so much for your kind comments, I'm so glad that all of our team have been able to support and make a difference to your mom's life. I will share your lovely comments with all of our team.

Outstanding care. Outstanding compassion. Outstanding team. An outstanding nursing home.
The mother-in-law was only in The Heathers for a short period for end-of-life palliative care.
We could not have asked for more. She called The Heathers her new home and was looked after like family. Everyone
showed so much kindness and respect. She loved them all, as they did her.
We will always be grateful for the dedication of the nursing staff to keep her comfortable while the carers made her feel special with their kindness, respect and care.
We were so grateful for the support given and the willingness of all to take the time to talk to us through this difficult time.
Thanks again to the nurses, carers, kitchen staff, cleaners, maintenance and administrators, you all make The Heathers a lovely home.

Having my mum transferred here from hospital to be assessed, it was decided she was on end of life. So it was decided it would be at the The Heathers she would end her days. The care she received was just perfect, caring and respectful of her wishes. They were very kind to our family, nothing was too
much trouble. She was there two months and her last days on Earth were made easier by the The Heathers nursing home and their caring staff. Thank you.

My mother spent just under a month at The Heathers Care Home. She always said how well looked after she was and how friendly the staff were.
The open visitor hours made visiting easy and the staff were always friendly and helpful.
The premises were always clean and the building's interior was bright,
clean and welcoming.

After receiving the worst possible news about my Mom's health, I wanted to find a caring, professional and comfortable home near to me where Mom could spend her last days. The Heathers offer everything I wanted for her and more. All staff take every care to make her time there as good as it can possibly
be. Even down to making sure that Mom can see the trees outside, which is important for her. She is treated with dignity and respect, care and efficiency and, above all, smiles and warmth. My family and I are so glad that she's safe, comfortable and so well cared for. And that care extends to the family too. It is remarkable that despite the number of residents and visitors, the nursing, caring and office teams remember us and make time to check how we are and what they might be able to do to support us too. I can't speak highly enough of The Heathers. They've lifted a weight from my shoulders and that allows me to make the most of the precious time I have left with Mom.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.946)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.946) out of 10 for The Heathers is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.946 for The Heathers is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 186 Ratings = 4.946

  • 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 The Heathers is based on 17 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
