Views & Opinions
“My son has lived at Heatherington for many years. He has been encouraged to keep his weight at a healthy level and join in with the community with unpaid and paid jobs and we have been very pleased with his progress. During the COVID-19 crisis they have looked after him in an exemplary manner.”
Relative (Mother) - Quote/Feedback received at Consensus Head Office - July 2020
“We have found the manager and her team in Heatherington House, to be extremely helpful and competent in taking care of our son. They have worked selflessly during the challenging recent months. They all deserve an applaud from all of us and many thanks to all the wonderful staff.”
Relative (Mother) – Quote from Carehome.co.uk review - July 2020
“A fantastic facility with dedicated staff. I don’t know where we’d be without the support that my brother receives. He’s completely at home there and is living a happy life. What more could anyone ask for?”
Relative (Brother) – Quote from Carehome.co.uk review - July 2020
“The staff here are brilliant. I couldn’t fault them.”
Supported Individual – Quote from CQC Inspection Report - March 2019
“We used to have a pay phone here [in the hallway] and everyone could hear us when we were on the phone. But our beloved manager got us this [a cordless phone] so we can take it to our bedrooms and we can have private conversations if we want without everyone listening to us.”

“I work at Travis Perkins. I’m quite busy, I’m out a lot.”
Supported Individual – Quote from CQC Inspection Report - March 2019
“The individuals living at Heatherington House benefit from a package of care that is bespoke to meet their individual needs.”
Consensus Colleague – Quote from CQC Inspection Report - March 2019
“We speak honestly about food. We talk about the things that need to be talked about, and it helps to promote their independence for when people are eating out. Food is everywhere so it’s important we don’t try to shield them from it.”
Consensus Colleague – Quote from CQC Inspection Report - March 2019
“Individuals values, beliefs and backgrounds are recognised and their ethnicity, religious and cultural beliefs are embraced and celebrated. For example, one individual is supported to access a Sikh temple when they wish, and support staff have gone out of their way to learn about this religion and become informed.”
Consensus Colleague – Quote from CQC Inspection Report - March 2019
“We review our own performance and reflect on what we’re doing well or where we could improve. It helps you think, and then the managers review how you’re getting on. They really work on your skills and try to bring out the best in you. It’s a great place to work.”
Consensus Colleague – Quote from CQC Inspection Report - March 2019
“My service user has been extremely well supported and as a result is making good progress with their goals… The service users all seem happy and are keen to talk about their achievements whenever I visit.”
