He was a quiet, private and fiercely independent man who always knew he would find being in a care home difficult. That said he settled into Greys almost immediately and would go to the dining room twice a day for meals and some company. He enjoyed being cooked for and he went on a few of the arranged outings on offer; these involved trips to local pubs, a garden centre and a ride along the canal on a boat.
Greys always felt homely and the staff were excellent. I never felt there were too few staff or that they seemed overstretched with their duties. I liked the fact that Greys was privately owned and not part of a large organisation.
I would definitely recommend Greys to anyone looking for a good caring home for their elderly loved one.
Dear Alison, many thanks for your lovely review and praise of our team, your dad was always a pleasure to care for and we appreciated how much he committed to making Greys his final home and becoming part of our family. He will be sorely missed by all. Kindest regards.

Mum always enjoyed the high standard of freshly prepared meals.
Social activities organised by Greys made Mum very happy.
Caring for your mum was honestly an honour and a privilege. She was a valued member of our family for so many years, and we all still miss her dearly. Thank you for your kind words, which I look forward to sharing with our team.
The building was a family home and although it has been extended, it still has a homely feel.
My friend was encouraged to have lunch downstairs in the dining room but the rest of the time she was allowed to rest in her room, which she liked to do.

Greys is not in a care or nursing home category nevertheless they did a good job in keeping residents safe during the pandemic.
My friend had a pretty good 4 and a half years there and only had to move because her dementia sadly became more marked, and she now needs nursing home care.

My mother-in-law stayed at Greys whilst her broken arm healed and she was incredibly well looked after, she absolutely loved her stay there. The staff were so friendly, very caring, supportive and understanding and she was so impressed with the food which she said was fantastic. Her stay was the perfect convalescence for her, so thank you to everyone at Greys for being so instrumental in her healing and in restoring her confidence.

Your mother-in-law was an absolute pleasure to care for, we were so glad we could accommodate her in the emergency situation and we were so pleased to see how quickly she embraced her surroundings and regained her strength and confidence.It is always something we are so proud of when someone feels well enough to go back to independent living after respite care with us and we look forward to her joining us whenever she is free for our ongoing social activities.
Mum loved the home and called it her 'home' in her last days. The staff were all wonderful and so kind to her. She loved the food, especially the homemade soups and made some new good friends. It was just a shame she never got to spend longer here.

Dear Mr H - Thank you for your kind feedback which the staff and chef will appreciate!
Greys provided excellent care and support for my mum in a very small and safe environment with a good staff-to-residents ratio. Mum was very well looked after with a kind and respectful approach maintaining her dignity. The friendly staff had time for nice chats (and some humour) which my mum...
Greys has a wonderful garden with decking and gazebo. Mum had a lovely view of the garden from her armchair and easy access through her French doors. Mum liked the Arts and Crafts class and good, home-cooked food. She also enjoyed the lively birthday parties with cake, Bucks Fizz, and live entertainment. She appreciated all the support at Greys and was content there for just over 4 years.
Thank you for allowing us to be part of her final chapter, she will be missed by us all.
Our mum was a resident at the home for several years. We consider it very lucky that there was a place at the home for her to be able to move in. Her care was excellent throughout her time at the home. The staff were excellent and the food was good, with our mum having a very specific dietary...
I would recommend Greys Residential Home very highly.
Your mum was an absolute pleasure to care for, we are glad to have been able to spend time with such a wonderful lady.
Kind regards,
Jo
I’m sad to say that my lovely Mum passed away at Greys Residential Home last Saturday. She’d been ill for so long that it was inevitable really but nothing quite prepares you. The best I can say is that she was at peace - bathed in love, free of pain and serene. That is in no small measure thanks...
I’m sad to say that my lovely Mum passed away at Greys Residential Home last Saturday. She’d been ill for so long that it was inevitable really but nothing quite prepares you. The best I can say is that she was at peace - bathed in love, free of pain and serene. That is in no small measure thanks to the tireless and brilliant team at Greys who do an incredibly hard job incredibly well. I and my family will forever be indebted to the manager and everyone (present and past) who was involved in my mum's care for the duration of her residency there for giving her time, support, encouragement, dignity and love...and doing so unconditionally. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback at Greys and for your kind words about our care staff. Your mum will be sadly missed.
My aunt lived at Greys Residential Home for five years and eight months from January 2017 and died there aged 93 in August 2022. She was very happy at Greys. The staff are caring, friendly and professional and many of them were there for the whole time my aunt lived there, which to me speaks...
There are lots of activities arranged at Greys for the residents to enjoy if they want to. Residents' birthdays are celebrated by everyone and an entertainer is booked so there can be a great party atmosphere.
The ambience at Greys is friendly and welcoming. The support staff are always helpful. I can't recommend this home highly enough and feel grateful that there was a place available for my aunt at a time when she needed it.
Thank you so much for your kind review. Your aunt was a wonderful lady and we enjoyed caring for her. I am so thankful of your appreciation of the staff and manager during the pandemic: there were lots of difficult decisions to make to navigate and avoid the infection and I am so proud...
Dear Jane,Thank you so much for your kind review. Your aunt was a wonderful lady and we enjoyed caring for her. I am so thankful of your appreciation of the staff and manager during the pandemic: there were lots of difficult decisions to make to navigate and avoid the infection and I am so proud of my team for all that they sacrificed to achieve this. I am so grateful for the longevity of all the staff who work with us and as you say, this is a testament to the manager and her deputy (our new manager). Thank you for your continued support.
All aspects of Greys are first class and the handling of the especially challenging situation during the last two years has been excellent. The facilities are comfortable, clean and well maintained and the recent remodel has improved them even further. The staff treat my mother with kindness and...
All aspects of Greys are first class and the handling of the especially challenging situation during the last two years has been excellent. The facilities are comfortable, clean and well maintained and the recent remodel has improved them even further. The staff treat my mother with kindness and dignity and the management of the home is superb.
Thank you so much for your kind words about Greys and our team, I will ensure this is shared with them. Thank you for your support, especially over the past two difficult years: we look forward to getting back to normal as soon as possible!

My mother was very reluctant to accept that she needed more care than her family could provide but in the past two years she has thrived at Greys. The team are like her extended family now. They treat her with love and respect, and most importantly, as an individual. Their commitment to her care, safety and well-bing during the pandemic hasbeen exemplary. I can't praise them highly enough.
In the four years that I have lived here, I know that to come to Greys was a good decision. The staff are always very supportive but still encourage you to be independent where possible and always listen you your comments with understanding.

I was in Greys Residential Home from 16th December to 13th January 2020 as a respite resident after a total knee replacement. In that time, I received consistent care, kindness and encouragement. All was well organised, and I can only say positive things and express my gratitude now I am home.
