A beautiful, clean home that is well-led. I couldn't ask for better care for Mum. Food is really tasty and nutritious. There's always something going on - games, entertainment, haircuts and pamper days. Thank you Glendale family.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
So pleased with this lovely little home. The right choice for our grandmother, the team are loving and caring it’s comfortable and cosy. Very clean with home-cooked food. All residents seem happy stimulated and well presented. The home is very clean and tidy. We have had visits in the garden BBQs and
entertainment seaside days and a Christmas party all through covid although we have to keep our distance and wear PPE we can see that our grandmother and the other residents are happy. The home has moved forward with covid made a visitors room and testing station and I got one feel very safe when I visit. Can highly recommend this lovely compassionate little home.

We as a family can’t thank the team enough over the last few months when my mum's health declined so much. They have been marvellous to mum, also kept us in the loop with everything. She very well cared for, it’s been a hard year for care homes and the residents but they have done a great job.

An excellent residential home - small, friendly and homely. Staff get to know the residents really well and develop close relationships with them, so they are able to provide good personalised care. The communal areas and rooms are clean and comfortable. A variety of activities are offered daily, as
well as trips, special occasions and events for residents and friends/family. Lovely garden and surrounding village. Good food. A very happy three years spent at Glendale.

My brother was catered for with care during his short stay. He arrived with complex needs and they were met. He had to get used to being in a wheelchair and a more structured daily routine. He enjoyed a happy birthday and Christmas. The staff were very supportive during a very difficult time. We were
well looked after when visiting and felt completely safe in the environment. He had excellent end-of-life care.

A professional caring attitude, aware of 'end of life' needs. Good and clear information of medical procedures and condition of the patient, and referrals to Doctor. Help and encouragement to relatives in extremely difficult situations of lockdown.

Glendale has shown marked improvement in all areas in the last year.
Staff are always welcoming and caring to residents and visitors alike.
I believe much has been done to improve things such as food, staffing, training etc. since my last trip here.
It would be nice to see more structured activities
and outings available.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.993)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.993) out of 10 for Glendale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.993 for Glendale is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.993
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glendale is based on 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4, which has been reached with 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
