About Heathfield Court Care Home

Heathfield Court Care Home provides nursing care in Erith, in the London Borough of Bexley. We support older people, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and those with sight or hearing loss, and we take respite bookings for people who need a temporary stay. Our nursing team is here around the clock, which allows us to look after people with complex and changing health needs without them having to move again. Alongside them, our care staff handle the parts of the day that matter just as much: an unhurried wash, a proper conversation, help to the dining room, a hand to hold when someone is frightened at three in the morning. We make a point of adapting to people rather than expecting the reverse. For someone living with dementia that might mean familiar objects close at hand, consistent staff and a calmer corner away from noise. For someone whose sight is failing it might mean describing what is in front of them and keeping furniture exactly where they expect to find it. These are small things, and they change how a whole day feels. Bexley families are welcome to visit, and we encourage relatives to stay involved in reviews and decisions. Our most recent inspection by the Care Quality Commission rated us good overall. If you are looking at nursing care in the Erith area, please come and see the place before you decide.
