I have nothing but praise for Heritage, my father fought against having a carer, and now he wouldn't do without them. Nothing is too much trouble for them. All very friendly, kind and helpful.

From inital enquiry, I felt confident that Heritage Healthcare (Epsom) could deliver the care my mother needed. They were approachable and attentive and were able to answer all of my queries readily.
We have been using them for 9 months now and have never had any need to contact them for a problem.
All of the care staff have been excellent.

All the carers are very polite, and make sure my mum is safe, especially in the shower. Still make sure she has her independence. Always ask her how she is and all have a smile on their faces. All have a chat with Mum.

I have found all the carers to be excellent as well as the staff in the office. They have all gone beyond what I could have expected to provide. They have provided all the help and assistance I could have wanted for myself as well as my mum.

Terribly disappointing - wasted our time and created more stress.
Caring for someone is an incredibly hard, underappreciated job. The brief interactions we had with the actual carers at Heritage were good.
Our issue came with the very poor organisation and communication from the health and safety
assessor and management at Epsom. It resulted in us having care pulled last minute not once, twice but three times! In the end, we were relieved when they withdrew their service, which is a bit of a joke given how little they actually did. We tried really hard to quickly get in place equipment to support the carers, despite two risk assessments that initially said our setup was fine for one carer a shift. But rather than work constructively with us on this, Heritage led us down the garden path, tried to insist that two carers per shift were mandatory which panicked us, and wasted our time on a further visit only to later than day withdraw service. Utterly unprofessional.

Reply from Song Lu, Director at Heritage Healthcare (Epsom)

I am sorry that you feel so strongly disappointed with the outcome.


Upon more than one risk assessment and different approaches, we were still unsatisfied with the health and safety aspects involved. The health and safety of our carers and everyone we provide care for are paramount and for legal requirements, we must ensure safe practice is always followed, our care was withdrawn due to health and safety.

We reassessed and agreed suitable equipment was required before care could recommence, the equipment was not in place before the next instalment of care hence why we could not start the second time. Despite an OT assessment and equipment being put in place we were still unsatisfied with aspects of health and safety and had to withdraw care altogether.

Families have every right to their own personal ways and choices providing care for their loved ones however I hope you can understand as a service we have to look at all aspects.

I have an excellent regular carer with whom I have a lovely relationship. I have had several for the days my primary one is on leave. All except two of these have been good or excellent. I have asked not to have one again. The second I find difficult - doesn't listen or read instructions. I have not
set up a direct debit payment as they insist I do it online. I do not allow any bank or financial transactions online as I am dyscalculia

I love you all.
I get regular feedback in person if something unusual happens or said. Love the app so I can see all the reports. Mum has loads of banter with carers and is very well looked after, which is a huge support to me.
Thanks, guys!

My mother has been supported by Heritage Healthcare Epsom for nearly a year now. It started with two to three short visits a day, then grew to three longer sessions, as my mother became less mobile. Eventually, we had to decide whether to move her to a care home or enlist the help of a full-time carer.
Heritage facilitated introductions to both kinds of solution and we ended up with the live-in carer solution, backed up by Heritage for occasions where two carers were necessary. We have been delighted with the service provided by Heritage. Their care manager has been at pains to meet changing and demanding requirements, sometimes at short notice. We have been impressed with the number of carers who have been very local to my mother's area, with the fact that at the most critical times Heritage has managed to provide a high degree of staff continuity and thereby minimised anxiety for my mother. The staff have been extremely caring and supportive in their dealings with my mother.

Heritage Healthcare have been providing an excellent service of personal care, some teatime visits and domestic services for my mother. Over the past months we have been highly satisfied with the friendly, kind attitude of the carers and good communication with the management. Mum has the same regular
carers where possible and they are like old friends!

The care I had was for postoperative convalescence in my own home. The personal care visitors were always very helpful and accommodating, arriving on time and had a professional and friendly manner. The initial meeting to set up the visits was handled at the hospital before I was discharged, again
this was done in a professional and caring manner. I would highly recommend them.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Home Care Provider is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.789 for Heritage Healthcare (Epsom) is calculated as follows: ( (73 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 90 Ratings = 4.789

    The 5 points relating to the number of Positive Reviews for Heritage Healthcare (Epsom) is based on 15 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as follows: 3 + 0.5 + 0.5 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Home Care Provider does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
