My mum was admitted to this lovely care home in December 2023. Being her daughter, I was very anxious, after visiting the care home I felt less anxious. The staff and management were so welcoming. My mum has dementia and has settled in so well. She is happy. I am so grateful to all the team at Greenacres.
Thank
you.

It was a huge decision for Mum to move to a care home, and after six months at Greenacres, we are very happy with our decision. We chose Greenacres because of the warm welcome we received on our first (unannounced) visit, and this has continued. Mum is settled in a lovely, bright en-suite room, well
looked after and well fed. The staff are lovely. They have got to know Mum and offer plenty of opportunities to be active and go out. They spotted when she was unwell and took action.
We would recommend Greenacres if you are looking for a care home with 1) a stable staff team who are always visible, 2) staff who do their best to give residents a good quality of life and 3) modern, well-kept buildings and gardens.

My father has been at Greenacres only a short time but so far the staff have been welcoming and have gone out of their way to ensure he is happy in his new environment. The accommodation is bright clean and cheerful, we have been able to bring pieces of furniture and hang photos and pictures on the
walls to provide a homely atmosphere. Greenacres is a happy caring environment.

Mum has been at Greenacres for 18 months and during that time, everyone there has been very welcoming and friendly.
The care Mum receives is great, a lot of medical issues she had before coming there, have been resolved and I feel I’m updated regularly if she has any issues. The whole team there really
seem to care about Mum's well-being.
I’m allowed to bring a dog to visit Mum, which is hugely important to her and one of the many reasons Greenacres works for her.
The home is always spotless throughout, from reception, corridors, sitting room and Mums room, the dog never finds a single crumb!

From the day Mum cam into the home to settling her in, we have been so impressed with the care and friendliness of all staff. They cannot do enough for you. Mum's room is spacious, modern and warm. She has settled really well and is extremely happy. I would thoroughly recommend Greenacres for anyone
looking for top-class care and staff who get to know you personally. A real home from home! I can relax knowing she's in the best care. Thank you to all the staff.

Review from Peter N (Son of Resident) published on 17 July 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We needed a Care Home for my elderly mother and looked at various options in the Banstead area. Greenacres stood out, not only for the pleasant surroundings and well presented rooms and communal areas, but also for the people we met and the welcoming atmosphere.
Since Mum has moved in, we can only
add that it is the people working at Greenacres that make the home such a great choice. I shouldn't name anyone for fearing of missing someone out but the staff have been absolutely outstanding, their care and attention to detail is second to none and we are so impressed with them. We can't thank them enough, we would definitely recommend Greenacres and are so pleased we found it.

We were concerned about finding the right home for Dad but once we visited Greenacres and met the staff, we knew we could put our concerns aside. All the staff have been amazing and very caring of not only Dad but us as a family. It's a welcoming and happy place to be and visit. Highly recommended and
I can't praise the staff enough.

Greenacres has been and continues to be a very caring home whose staff are clearly very caring and professional. I feel fully supported and informed in all the decisions that affect Mum's care. I feel they have gone above their duty of care as my mum is deteriorating due to her Alzheimer's.

This is Mum's second care home and she is so much happier here than at the first one. The whole team care for Mum with dignity, empathy and compassion and I am very grateful for that. The home is very well looked after and is clean and well equipped with some activities that Mum enjoys very much, especially
the rise club. There is a lovely garden that Mum enjoys in the summer and the home is well-positioned to take Mum for coffee and shopping when the weather permits.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mother transferred to Greenacres Care Home, following an unhappy experience in a previous care home, we have been met by friendly staff with a 'can do' attitude who put the resident at the centre of their practice. This is very reassuring and I feel that staff have made real efforts to get
to know my mother and go out of their way to include her in activities that they feel will interest and engage her. I find the staff accessible and her regular carers very kind and anxious to do their very best for her and the residents in their care. The home is warm and welcoming and as a very regular visitor, I meet with cheery and motivated staff on a regular basis. My mother has settled well and, as a family, we appreciate the care and kindness offered by the Greenacres staff.

We have always been pleased with the care Greenacres have and are providing for our relative. From front of house to the care staff (who deserve more appreciation and money for their hard work). When we visit the team knows who we are and who we are visiting and is always happy to talk and update us
on our relative's care and also up-and-coming events. The food always smells lovely and our relative has never complained, her room is clean which we know we can make her own.
When Covid struck, care homes came under a lot of fire but did anyone actually see what new policies and guidelines the managers had to put in place basically overnight, I doubt it. Though we know and cannot thank them all enough.
They all deserve a big thank you.
Thank you!

Review from M D (Daughter of Resident) published on 11 October 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
From a very promising start 4 years ago the standard of care that my mother received declined. I was constantly asking the home to add information to her care plan which should have been updated by themselves, eg. checking her fluid input, ensuring that her feet were raised as instructed by her GP,
taking her to the toilet regularly, etc. It was clear that most carers did not look at the care plan. I even had to ask for her bathroom to be cleaned at one stage!
My mother was admitted to hospital in April 2022 with dehydration and a nasty wound in her leg. 16 days later she died. No one contacted me from the home and no one came to her funeral. I am still devastated by the attitude of the home before and following her death.
There were some good individual carers but some demonstrated that their training was inadequate.
I will never get over the fact that my 93-year-old mother had such suffering towards the end of her life when she should have been cared for.

Greenacres proved to offer excellent care for both of my parents since their arrival earlier this year and being offered a double room. Sadly, my mum passed away recently but the support, kindness and care that we have all received from all of the staff have been overwhelming. We are confident knowing
that Dad's ongoing needs without Mum will be met by the team members who continue to comfort and support him. Greenacres have a real family feel. We always receive a warm welcome when we visit, nothing is too much trouble. We feel comfortable ringing for updates and knowing that if anything were amiss we would be contacted immediately. So pleased we chose Greenacres, a great recommendation from a friend.

My mum has been a resident for almost a year and I am very satisfied with the care she receives. I know she is safe and has company and there are various activities which she is encouraged to join in with. My mum has dementia and it is evident that she is being well cared for. The staff are all pleasant
and treat my mum with dignity and respect. Overall, I am very pleased.

Obviously, it has been an extremely difficult time, especially for relatives of residents and, no doubt staff, because of Covid. Everyone gets stressed, me in particular, not knowing when I am going to be able to see my mum in more “conducive” circumstances. There were times when we, as a family, felt
outside of things that were happening. Especially as my mum is getting that much older and I often cried myself to sleep wondering if she would remember me and praying that nothing would happen to her before we could see her! However, I have to say that even through what must have been a stressful time for the caring staff, they didn’t let Mum forget who I was. Things are much better now and I thank all of the staff for their support. One member of staff has been particularly helpful (as are all of the staff) and I sincerely thank all of you at Greenacres. As with the song "Things can only get better".

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Greenacres is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.796 for Greenacres is calculated as follows: ( (227 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 284 Ratings = 4.796
  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 Greenacres is based on 24 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 63 registered maximum number of service users is 12.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
