Lincroft Meadow Care Home
from N H (Son-in-law of Resident) published on 5 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Very impressive in all aspects, from our first visit twelve months ago, to date. Facilities, staff, friendly and welcoming, attention to details, clean, tidy and so on...
A couple of glitches along the way, which have been attended to promptly.
I would recommend arranging a visit and see for yourselves.

from J W (Daughter of Resident) published on 4 March 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The staff are all kind, helpful and polite. Nothing is too much for them to help. There is a happy and relaxed atmosphere on mum's unit, which only changes when needs must. Mum has a choice at each meal and is well fed. The food is lovely I've arranged a private lunch with mum so have sampled it many

times. Mum is very happy which makes me very happy.

Reply from Elaine Ratcliffe, Home Manager at Lincroft Meadow Care HomeThank you for leaving such a kind review of Lincroft Meadow. We are delighted to hear that you and your Mum are happy with us. Caring for your Mum is truly an honour.

Review of
Penhurst Gardens Care Home
from Russ F (Son of Resident) published on 27 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My dad was placed in to care in January 2026, following a permanent brain injury. I looked at 58 care homes across local counties, created a shortlist, of which Penhurst Gardens was one. As soon as we arrived my family was stunned by the amazing facilities and welcoming staff. Lynne the care home manager

is an absolute asset to the home, and really took the time to explain not just the facility but the process before admission and what to expect during settlement and longer term, something other homes did not do. Rather than just focussing on "trying to get a sale", it was clear from the beginning that my dad's wellbeing, and finding the right home, was the focus. As we toured the facility we met other staff, all of whom were extremely polite and professional. The facility itself, wow, it is like a 5 star hotel but whilst still keeping a homely friendly familiar feel. Dad has been there for three weeks now, and we know we definitely made the right choice, cannot recommend it enough.

Reply from Lynne Elliott, Home Manager at Penhurst Gardens Care HomeThank you for taking the time to leave such a kind and thoughtful review of Penhurst Gardens. It is an honour to care for your Dad, and I am pleased to hear that I could help you and your Dad.

Review of
Cotswold Gate Care Home
from Alison R (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

An excellent care home. All staff are kind, compassionate & caring. Family well supported. Excellent activities. Food is of a good quality but needs to be adapted for age of residents e.g. shepherds pie (more old fashioned foods). I feel my parents are safe, secure & very well looked after. External

GP always in a rush & not spending enough time with each person. Overall - Superb!

from Sue B (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 February 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

The continued care of my parents is exemplary at Cotswold Gate Care Home. The staff are the most amazingly friendly and caring team. They have gently encouraged my mother to engage more in activities that she does now every day. My father loves the cinema room and is found there most afternoons. More

importantly they both feel safe, secure and know that there is always someone on hand. As my mum says 'we love it here'.

Reply from Angelika Ziomek, Home Manager at Cotswold Gate Care HomeThank you for your heartwarming feedback. It is a joy and an honour to have your parents with us here at Cotswold Gate.

Overall Experience

Overall happy with care and general surroundings. The food could be more basic, it can be a little too fine dining for my usual liking. More hearty basic meals would be lovely.

Reply from Lynne Elliott, Home Manager at Penhurst Gardens Care HomeThank you for your valuable feedback. I will be sure to pass this along to our kitchen team. If you would like to discuss this further, please do come and see me - my door is always open.

Overall Experience

I came for 10 days respite stay. I have found the staff excellent, everyone of them couldn't have looked after me any better. Excellent choices at meal times, food was very nice. The home was welcoming and I have enjoyed the company of staff and other residents. I wouldn't hesitate to come back for

another stay.

from Jane T (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Dad was accepted as an emergency care on a Friday afternoon and the manager & clinical staff were amazing. They treated a very confused and poorly man with great care and dignity. Dad has now been here over 6 weeks and is settled in a lovely room near to carers desk. The activities team involve hun

in lots of different things which helps him integrate. The care team are patient and always try to accommodate Dad's needs. Such a weight of my mind seeing him so well cared for.

Overall Experience

My mum is unable to communicate so this review is my own experience. It has been an extremely turbulent 12 months for us both, but all of the staff have been wonderful. Everyone has worked hard to help Mum communicate and everyone has been a huge comfort and support to me. Thank you to everyone at Penhurst

Gardens for helping us work through a challenging time. Not sure how I would cope without you.

Reply from Lynne Elliott, Home Manager at Penhurst Gardens Care HomeThank you for taking a moment to leave us such heartfelt feedback. We work hard to ensure not only our residents feel supported but their loved ones too, so I am glad to hear you feel this has been the case. Please know you are always welcome at Penhurst Gardens.

Review of
Lincroft Meadow Care Home
from J J (Wife of Resident) published on 5 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

My husband was very well cared for in his last illness. We are both treated with kindness and compassion and our wishes considered wherever possible.
There were one or two small issues which were swiftly dealt with. There were 4 nurses whose care was outstanding and we were always pleased when they

were on duty and the management team were compassionate and kind. Overall, were more than satisfied with the room and care we both received and my husband died in peace.
