A RESIDENTIAL home in Grappenhall has won one of the most prestigious accolades.

Heathfield Residential Home is a care home for women and has been awarded platinum status by Investors in People - the highest accolade possible.

It means policies and practices around supporting people are embedded in every corner of Heathfield Residential Home.

And in a platinum company, everyone – from the most senior to the most recent recruit – knows they have a part to play in the company doing well, and is always looking for ways to improve.

Already the holder of Care Quality Commission rating ‘Outstanding’ and Carehome.co.uk ‘Top 20 Award’ for care homes in the north west, this award winner care home continues its pursuit to be ‘best in class’, providing the highest quality of care and outcomes for ladies in the later years.

Globally, Heathfield holds 6th position in benchmark ranking for organisations with 0-49 employees assessed by Investors in People in their sector and the 49th position worldwide!

Paul Devoy, CEO of Investors in People, said: “We’d like to congratulate Heathfield Residential Home. Platinum accreditation on We invest in people is a remarkable effort for any organisation, and places Heathfield Residential Home in fine company with a host of organisations that understand the value of people.”

Marjorie Ada, registered manager at Heathfield, said: “I am so proud of the team, they work tirelessly together to provide the very best for our wonderful residents, in an environment it’s great to be a part of.”
