Heathlands Care Centre is a modern and purpose built 84 bedded nursing home for older people specialising in dementia care. It is situated in a pleasant residential area of Chingford. It is easily accessible by road and public transport. Local shops and amenities are just a 5-10 minute walk away.
In addition to offering care to people with dementia, we also provide care for elderly frail clients as well as end of life care. We take our responsibilities seriously and are constantly looking for ways to enhance the quality of our services.
We believe that care and support can be offered in partnership with family and representatives and we will always strive hard to include residents’ family and friends in daily routines.
"Heathlands is like one big happy family. The Staff always treat my uncle with respect and they care very much about his needs and feelings. They provide activities and games and are always sensitive to his needs."
A niece of a resident
"We would like to thank you for all your care and kindness looking after Russell. You made him very happy and comfortable in the last months of his life and you made me very happy with all your love for us both. I will never forget all that you have done for us both."
with love from Poppy and family
"My family and I are extremely grateful for everything your staff at Heathlands did for my mother, for their continual support in not only meeting her health needs, but also in talking to her and helping her when she needed it most. The care your staff were able to provide in her last months, and the quality with which it was undertaken, gave us, her family, a great deal of comfort."
