Review from M P (Son of Resident) published on 8 July 2026 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Little Gaynes is the best care home in Havering , my dad ( who has dementia ) has had many times with respite in the care home , the staff are so caring , supportive and compassionate , they give dignity and respect , the care home is like a big house which suits my father as he is very much a quite reserved person , as it is a small home the residents get the time from the staff , nothing is too much of a trouble with the staff , and i get good communication from the staff throughout his stay , my father tried another home in which he did not get half of the care he does in Little Gaynes .
I have been so happy and relaxed knowing my father is being truly looked after , he is now in the home for a long stay due to a decline in his health ..

We rate most services according to how safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led they are, using four levels:
- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
