Overall Experience

I cannot praise the staff at Glebe House enough. My older brother was admitted due to some serious medical issues impacting his mobility, he also has some learning difficulties and the staff have all been exceptionally kind caring and professional. They have communicated brilliantly and have adapted around his needs so well. The actual building and grounds are lovely too. I cannot recommend Glebe highly enough, I've worked in the nhs for 25 years and know good care when I see it. Thank you Glebe

Reply from Joanne Holman, Home Manager at Glebe House

Overall Experience

Glebe House is a fantastic care home , the rooms are lovely and fully equipped , the staff are extremely caring and helpful , my mother is a very happy resident . I've spoken to many of the staff and they are always very helpful with very positive feedback whenever I ask how my mother is getting on . The staff and team leaders always contact me about how my mother is doing . I think the secret to the lovely family atmosphere at Glebe House is the communication and positive attitude , it all makes for a very happy care home experience . I heartily recommend Glebe House.

Overall Experience

My aunt has been in Glebe House since August 2024 and has received the best care. Whenever we visit she tells us she us happy, enjoys the food, the staff are kind and she feels comfortable. As we don't live near to her, it is a comfort to us to know she is happy and cared for. The home is clean and provides entertainment for the residents, there is a lovely garden which my aunt's room looks out to and when weather allows they can go outside and sit and chat with a cup of tea.

Reply from Joanne Holman, Home Manager at Glebe House

Thank you for sharing such kind words about your aunt's experience at Glebe House. We're so pleased to hear she feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for - that's exactly what we strive for. It's wonderful to know she enjoys the food, the company of our staff, and the garden views from her room....

Overall Experience

My mum had been living at Glebe house coming up for two years this year, a big shock for us that mum became unwell was taken into hospital was given the sad news she had cancer and it was just palliative care, Glebe house got her out of hospital and back to her home there. And the care was amazing they not only looked after mum but also us. We could go in any time and stay with mum as long as we wanted too. Everyone was just amazing and the love I saw that they had for mum was just lovely, mum was a fighter right up to the end. Hospital gave her two weeks but she went over five weeks and the staff everyone of them are amazing and I can't say thank you enough to them for the care they gave mum, I miss going in not only seeing mum but seeing the staff and the other residences it's home from home. Like one big family. Glebe house residents and all the staff thank you so very very much for looking after mum and taking care of us at end of mum life much love to you all xx

Review from Kevin L (Brother of Resident) published on 5 February 2025 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

My brother had to be rushed into Glebe House due to various circumstances but from the minute he arrived, he was welcomed and cared for by the amazing staff. Within a matter of weeks his condition improved remarkably. This was due to the love and care he received and he was in a comfortable place that catered for all his needs. I can't thank everyone there enough for what they did for my dear brother and I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Overall Experience

My son arrived at Glebe House after a dramatic lightning strike wrecked his previous home. He was so warmly welcomed. The staff were incredible and he felt safe and loved after a traumatic arrival. I have been consistently impressed by the staff - warm, friendly and competent and always working as a team. Glebe House is very comfortable, residents can be private or enjoy a range of activities. Most importantly relatives like myself are welcomed and supported. This is from my son - 'It feels like home'!

Overall Experience
My mother passed away after spending just 3 months in Glebe House. I know she enjoyed her time in the home and she found the staff helpful and understanding. My visits were occasional, due to living outside the UK, but when I did visit I found my mother happy and the staff most welcoming. She celebrated her 100th birthday whilst in the home and a room was made available for friends and relatives to celebrate the occasion with her.

Thank you Glebe House.

Overall Experience

My husband is due to be discharged after 6 weeks having care and reablement rehab. I cannot praise all the staff and all professionals enough for their care and understanding of his needs. The food/cleanliness/everything here is wonderful. I, myself, had had lunch with my husband every Sunday and it's 10 out of 10 every time. It's totally dispelled my original idea of what care home life was like. It's airy, modern and lovely.

Joanne HolmanJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 2008
Jo joined the care sector and Shaw healthcare back in June 2008.

There is not a role in a care home that Jo has not undertaken – she loves a challenge and has helped out in many Shaw homes across the West Sussex region, learning and improving along the way.

Jo enjoys the interactions she has each day with families, health professionals, and of course the lovely residents. Jo commented “Speaking to the residents and listening to their life stories, just knowing you have made a difference to someone’s day, is what makes working in care so wonderful”

Tracy McClure
Tracy McClureJob Title:Service AdministratorJoined: 2015

I started at Glebe House in 2015 as a support worker. I then became a team leader and now I am the administrator.

My mum resided at Glebe House when she needed care, after seeing the fantastic care and support given to her I decided that I wanted to be a part of the Glebe House team.

My role as admin gives me the opportunity to support each of the residents and their families first hand.

I am privileged to meet future residents and their families and ensure that all of their needs are met whilst residing with us.

I love being part of such a supportive and dynamic staff team and spending time with each and every resident.

Stephanie Watts
Stephanie WattsJob Title:Service AdministratorJoined: 2021
I started my career in Health and Social care back when I was a teenager

I have worked with an entire spectrum of people with differing health needs.

Over the last 11 years working in the care sector, I have gained many skills and achievements, my highest qualification is, Level 5 in Health and Social Care.

In my previous role I was a registered manager at a home for those with mental health needs. I then went on to have a baby girl and decided that I wanted to take a new career path still in the care sector so that I could use the skills and knowledge previously gained to give 100% to my new role.

I joined Glebe House as the second administrator. I enjoy the people I work with and every day is a new challenge, this gives me the opportunity to develop my skills to ensure I am always providing a fantastic service to the people we support and their families.

I am currently working as a team leader, which I really enjoy.

Working in this role and supporting the residents and the staff team gives me immense job satisfaction.

I know that I have achieved when I can make at least one resident smile every day.

It’s such a rewarding career and team work is paramount to the safe running of my shift.
