Thank you for taking the time to share your kind words, they will be passed on to the team, who will be pleased to hear them.
It was the 1st time for mum to use restbite and she was very nervous. There was no reason as she was made to feel welcome, comfortable and safe. Mum made friends with residents and staff. She has said she would love to come back. Thank you Greenbanks for all your help and support.

My dad was admitted to Greenbanks on 15th August, as a resident in respite care, whilst my mother who was his main carer had an operation. He has dementia amongst other ailments and is physically disabled, so requires a lot of care. From the moment he was admitted, the care and empathy for dad's condition and our family's emotional journey to placing him in a care home, has been exemplary. It is now the 30th August and I can honestly say that every single member of staff my family and I have encountered, have been professional, accommodating and on every occasion put us at ease. They always greet us with a smile and no reasonable request is too much for them. I cannot praise this home enough. Clearly the management staff know and understand the quality of care that meets the needs of their residents. It is a bright, clean, homely and welcoming environment. Thank you all but in particular one member of staff for his constant kindness and care.
Hello Jane,thank you for the wonderful review. We are pleased to hear that you find Greenbanks homely and welcoming. We are glad to see how settled your dad is in his new home, and thank you for entrusting us with his care.

My Mum was a resident at Greenbanks from April-June 2025. Owing to Mum's Alzheimer's, additional care that we could not provide following an operation was needed. Never having used a care home before, we were very concerned about where to place Mum, but the staff at Greenbanks were so professional and sympathetic from the outset that any worries were immediately alleviated for us as a family. The care given by frontline staff was exemplary and the administrative side of things was dealt with very professionally. We always felt able to ask questions, and staff at all levels responded in an open and honest manner that served to reassure us. Activities and events at Greenbanks were consistent and enjoyable, and by involving families as well as residents, a sense of community in the home was created. Mum unfortunately passed away in June when her Alzheimer's went into its advanced stage, but we gained great solace from the dignified end of life care Mum received. Thank you everyone.

I was a respite patient on the 2nd floor room 54. All of the staff there were hard-working and efficient, caring and patient, and went out of their way to help in any way they could. Very, very clean and surprising quiet for a care home. As most of the residents are memory care, it was difficult to interact with them... But the staff more than made up for it. The food was delicious. The garden is beautiful and restful... as is the entire facility. I wish there had been more activities, but the activity coordinator was on vacation during my stay, so that is understandable... and the BBQ was fabulous!
Hello Janice,Thank you for your feedback. We are glad that you had a wonderful experience during your respite stay at Greenbanks, and we would love to welcome you back when the need arises. We are currently recruiting for an additional life style coordinator to support our existing coordinator, and we are confident that this additional support would make a huge difference with activities.
I was worried about moving my mum into a care home, but Greenbanks Care Home is so nice and the staff are looking after my mum very well. She is settled and happy here. I am so grateful for everyone involved. This has given me such a relief. Thank you everyone.

As this was my mother's first care home my concern was her settling. I didn't have to worry. I met the managers to discuss requirements and all the home can offer. The fantastic are excellent and she has settled straight away. In addition, the activities are superb.

When I had the painful decision to make to put my wife into permanent residential care, I visited a number of homes in the local area. The fundamental criteria was that my wife had to be content, cared for and safe. All homes should achieve this next is the environment, not clinical. A homely feel, good sized bedrooms which can be furnished to make it welcoming for the residents, good open space, and gardens to let residents enjoy. Finally, any care home is basically bricks, mortar, and furnishings, it is the staff that make it a good care home. Greenbank has it all.
Hello and thank you for the wonderful review of our home. We are very pleased to hear that Greenbanks met your expectations and we would like to thank you for entrusting the care of your loved one into our hands. We appreciate your feedback.
