Care built around knowing the person.
Choosing a care home is a major decision. At Heathside, families deal directly with a small team in a home where residents are known as individuals rather than room numbers.
Our approach is straightforward: understand the person, assess their needs carefully and be honest about what we can safely provide.

Clear about our role
Residential care, not nursing care.
Heathside does not have registered nurses on site. We work with GPs, district nurses and community professionals where appropriate, but people who need continuous clinical or nursing support will usually require a nursing home.
We would rather give a family a clear answer than accept an admission that is not right for the person.
