I cannot praise Heathland House enough. My mum's quality of life has improved immeasurably since she moved in during November 2023 and so has ours. Previously, we were constantly worried about her health and safety and her loneliness, as well as trying to care for her ourselves. She is now wonderfully
cared for in beautiful surroundings by staff that are more like family to her. Every single staff member is caring, interested and thoughtful to her and I feel she is living her best life there. Her family and friends are warmly welcomed into the home at any time too, either for coffee, lunch or to join in the activities. The relief for me and my sisters is huge. I am so happy we chose Heathland House.

It's an excellent home, with lovely surroundings and well-maintained. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I was a little disappointed that it took two weeks for a physio to see my wife.

Reply from Debbie Holmes, Home Admissions Advisor at Heathland House

Thank you so much for taking the time to send us a review; it's great to hear that your wife did so well with the physiotherapists getting her up and walking. It will be lovely to see you both again soon. With our warmest wishes from all at the Heathland House team.

Staff are always friendly, helpful and professional. The facilities are excellent and well-appointed. Care is excellent. Sometimes the food is a little exotic for my dad and perhaps a traditional choice for the main course would help. The quality of food is good and residents get food little and often.

Thank you for reviewing Heathland House, we really are grateful for your feedback and will definitely make sure that the team knows just how much they are appreciated. Warm wishes from the entire team.

Everything was done to ensure my mum had an extremely pleasurable respite stay at Heathland House. I was always made very welcome by all the staff and I always went home knowing Mum was in very good care. The staff are outstanding! Caring, chatty, helpful, friendly, and fun. I hope I can go somewhere
as fabulous as this when I get older!

Having engaged with all members of staff (management, care, and reception) I find the home to be of a very well-run care home. The home has a good variety of activities to encourage and entertain the residents.
The food, whilst not totally to my wife's taste, is very good and well-prepared - particularly
the cakes.

Thank you for looking after my mum so incredibly well, we knew the time had come for her to move into a care home and were very worried she wouldn't take kindly to leaving her home but you have an excellent team of carers and staff at your lovely home which has made her feel very happy to settle there.
We cannot fault anything about this home, my mum is enjoying life again, making new friends, doing new activities, enjoying good food in a great dining area with others around. This is a fantastic home, it's like being in a luxury hotel with amazing care and support.

My mum decided that she wasn't coping well on her own and felt isolated with few visitors apart from me and a couple of other stalwarts. Having looked around Heathland House just after it opened I thought mum would be happy there, it looks and feels like a 5-star hotel when you walk in and gives you
a 'warm hug'. Cost-wise it's very comparable to most other care homes but has so much more to offer such as a dedicated private dining room for parties and other gatherings (booked this for my mum's 95th birthday later this year), fully equipped cinema, lovely lounges, welcoming and open reception area with
coffee bar, hairdressing salon, fabulous spa bathroom which my mum loves to use, and a restaurant worthy of a top class hotel with excellent menus which change each day. There are also activities which all residents can join in, my mum likes to trot along in the afternoon to find out what's going on. Without exception, the staff are lovely and very caring. My mum is happy there.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.950)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.950) out of 10 for Heathland House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.950 for Heathland House is calculated as follows: ( (342 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 359 Ratings = 4.95

  • 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 Heathland House is based on 30 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 30 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.
