My husband was with you for only 6 weeks. However, within that period you gave him all the care he required when I was no longer able to do at home.
I had a great sense he was at home and you all made a difficult time easier to bear.

It was our pleasure to help you at your time of need, as we take pride in supporting the whole family not just the family member in the home. We wish you luck for the future and please feel free to pop in at any time.

This is a very good nursing home.
My mother has been a resident here for two years, and she has improved in her well-being and enjoyment of life.
She has a social interaction with fellow residents that hugely benefits her.
I have no negative experiences at all over all this time.

From a recent bereavement necessitating residential care for my elderly dad, coupled with an in-country move from south to north, my dad has settled in very well with the support of the kind and caring staff.
The Gatehouse team are very supportive and welcoming and nothing seems too much trouble.
The
recently appointed new manager appears to have reinvigorated the team, keep up the good work.

Very impressed with all aspects of this residential home. Well run, very organised, friendly and compassionate and always welcoming. They made the transition from home to care home very easy. The home manager was so kind and helpful and every time I ring to talk to him or a member of the staff they
are always so nice. Big thanks to one staff member in particular for keeping me right with all the payments and paperwork. Mum has a lovely room with a great view, she looked so well when we saw her, her hair was beautifully done. Great to see all the events on social media. Thank you very much.

My mother has been a resident of The Gatehouse for 15 months. Her care has been excellent, all the care team are very kind and professional. Previously, good leadership has been lacking but this has vastly improved since the appointment of the new manager. he is engaged with all he meets and keen to
improve, there is a renewed sense of team spirit which is reflected in the residents who are now enjoying more activities and engagement. Please keep up the good work, an excellent team.

My nan (recently deceased) had a very happy time residing at The Gatehouse. Every time I and other family visited we found a caring, warm environment and atmosphere in the home. Staff, although often changing due to the sector were always welcoming and felt like friendly, whilst clearly showing respect
and care for each resident's dignity. The recent new management has definitely added a layer of confidence and reassurance to staffing (care staff) and the overall sense of The Gatehouse. Finally, I could not fault the care given to my nan in her last few weeks.

Reply from Luke Dove, Manager at The Gatehouse

I have no hesitation in recommending The Gatehouse to anyone considering a care home place. The care team are attentive and caring, they treat the residents with dignity and respect and make efforts to meet the individual needs of residents. I have always been kept fully informed of any changes or developments
in my mother's condition and I have felt the staff, at every level have been approachable and supportive.

Reply from Luke Dove, Manager at The Gatehouse

Here at the Gatehouse we really pride ourselves on our care. To read a review like this really hits home that we are getting it right. We will continue to deliver great person-centred care to the best of our ability. Thank you very much for your lovely words.

The staff and management are excellent. The Gatehouse balances caring and helping residents with maintaining a feeling of independence and choices. My Mum has always been a very independent person so this matters to her. There is also a great balance of having plenty of things to join in with in The
Gatehouse community and having time to oneself and a lovely one-to-one chat with staff and visitors. The food is currently excellent as is the care and atmosphere.

My gran always vowed never to stay in any care facility, however after two days of respite care in The Gatehouse, she told us in no uncertain terms, she was giving up her flat because this was her home now. She has settled beautifully, in part down to the attentive, personalised and genuine care given
to her from the team. From the admin staff through to the care managers, special care is given to personalise the care and get to know their residents.
Her room is light and airy and organised to her taste and best care interests and nothing is too much trouble. Visiting is no problem - at any time, and we have even had take-out nights in our PJs. A real home from home. She is now a permanent resident and enjoying making new friends. The coffee mornings are always fabulous, and a lovely way to meet the people caring for your loved ones. Thank you to The Gatehouse team for all of your hard work!

Reply from Luke Dove, Manager at The Gatehouse

Thank you for this amazing review. We couldn't be more pleased that your Gran chose to stay after her respite, she is an absolute delight. I will pass these lovely words on to the team as soon as possible.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Dad has been a resident here since Oct 2022 and he has been very content. The staff are always extremely relaxed and jovial, they constantly talk to residents cheering them up. The staff ensure residents are kept as active as they can be, encouraging as much activity as possible.
Recently Dad has
deteriorated and the staff have been totally professional in all they do. Everything is carried out with compassion and dignity always willing to go above and beyond to ensure Dad is safe, secure and comfortable. I am kept well informed about his condition when I am unable to visit him.
The cost is average for the category of home but the care is above and beyond what I expected. I was told at the outset that all care would be carried out and all I had to do was visit and this has taken a lot of stress away.
I would send my thanks to all the staff at the home for all their care, help and support over the past 14 months and I would highly recommend Hillcrest to friends and family if needed.

Reply from Andrew Astin-Rae, Registered Manager at Hillcrest

Thank you for your review. It is always a pleasure to look after loved ones here at the home and the staff take pride in what they do. Your father was always full of fun and enjoyed his time with the other residents and staff. Please pass on our condolences to the rest of your family and we will be remembering in our way too.

I would like to thank the team at Hillcrest for the quality of care they provided my father with. He was treated with genuine care and kindness throughout his time at Hillcrest. He was always treated with respect and dignity, even though he was not always easy to work with. From my experience, the team
showed an excellent understanding of my father's needs and his condition.
During the last couple of weeks, my father's health declined rather rapidly. I have to say the compassion shown to my father and us, the family, during this time was second to none. I was able to visit whenever I wished and to spend quality time with my father. On Tuesday 31st October, sadly, my father passed away. I cannot thank the team enough for the way they supported us through this very difficult time with respect, warmth and kindness. My father passed away very peacefully and I have peace in my heart knowing my father had received the very best of care throughout his time at Hillcrest.

Reply from Andrew Astin-Rae, Registered Manager at Hillcrest

Thank You, I have passed this onto the team, it was also a pleasure to look after your father and he will be missed by all I hope that you and your family have fond memories as we do again thank you for your kind words.

The Gatehouse is light, airy, well kept, warm and welcoming. Staff have created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and my mother settled in straight away, with no regrets about leaving her previous life on her own. Despite her advanced age she has brightened since moving in: congenial company, good
meals and constant thoughtful care have given her a new lease of life. The home is the right size for her: small enough not to be intimidating or formal, large enough that there are plenty of people to chat to. A larger home might have more extensive facilities and activities (hence four, not five, in the scoring) but The Gatehouse makes the most of its homely and attractive site, and there are sufficient and varied events to keep residents engaged. If there are queries or problems, staff are quick to spot them, resolve them, call in medical or other help if necessary, and contact the family. I know my mother is in good hands.

Mum moved into The Gatehouse Care Home six weeks ago after suffering from a fall which made her nervous to go back home. She has settled quite well. The home is clean, warm, well-furnished and friendly. All the carers, staff and managers are very friendly and helpful and always take time with Mum, who
can be quite challenging at times. She has also gained weight and seems happy in her new home. We would recommend this home.
