About
Heathlands Village is a purpose-built care home in Prestwich, a suburb about three miles north of Manchester city centre. It provides residential and nursing care for older people and specialises in supporting people living with dementia. The home has 109 registered beds. Care is delivered across the main building and the adjoining Eventhall House annexe, and the five-acre grounds include two sensory gardens, lawns and patio areas.
The nursing team offers palliative care as an alternative to hospice care, and some people join the home for short breaks rather than living there full time. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Good overall in its 2023 report. Its key-question grades were Good for effective, caring and well-led care, Outstanding for responsiveness, and Requires Improvement for safety.

- Staff were safely recruited and there were enough of them to meet people's needs.
- The home was clean throughout.
- Feedback from people, relatives and a visiting medical professional was positive about the care and support.
- Mental capacity assessments had not been completed, so people were not always supported to have maximum choice and control.
