Residential Admissions

There is no admission restriction with regard to age, gender, race or religion. As a general guide residents should have a physical frailty and or in the mild to moderate stages of dementia and mobile with or without the use of a walking aid. We do not consider our home suitable for totally wheel chair dependent people. We do not provide nursing care or care to those with serious mental health conditions.

Independence is actively promoted at The Heathers, a positive attitude and desire to be independent is considered more important than the actual ability to be so.

Residential Admissions

Staff are trained to support residents in taking prescribed medication in line with policy and procedures, regulations and leglislations.

Every applicant should be fully involved in the admission process and ample opportunity will be given for questions and discussions about the home, as well as residents/families own needs and expectations.

Each application is assessed with regard to suitability of accommodation available, compatibility with other residents, and our ability to meet the individuals care needs.

We very much look forward to welcoming you into our home. Please call us on 0208 460 6555 to arrange a visit.
