Review from Linda S (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 August 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We were dreading the day Mum had to live in a care home. However, Gratwick House has allayed all our fears. It is a fairly small facility but all the better for that. When we visit we are treated like 'family' and always offered refreshments. Mum took a while to settle but the staff have all been superb.
They are caring and kind to Mum and always communicate with us when required. We know Mum is in safe and caring hands. She loves the food! Thank you all.

As friends we visit, just dropping in and we always find everyone very happy, well cared for and treated as individuals. Also appreciate the age appropriate music! The home is a home and our friend frequently says how happy he is to live here.

Need awareness and appropriate response is of a high order. Cleanliness and lack of unwelcome aromas are a constant. Visitors, both expected and unexpected are welcomed and always offered refreshments. All in all, a caring, well-managed care home.

Review from S K (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 July 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I moved my mum from another care home in May. I could not believe the difference in her in such a short time. The manager went through her care plan, her needs, likes and dislikes in such detail. I have never been shown the gateway before so it was a pleasure to see what Mum had been doing. I cannot
praise this home enough. All the staff are so engaging when you visit, also was shocked to see Mum walking on a frame when previously told she was unable to do so at the last home.

Review from Sandra B (Daughter of Resident) published on 14 June 2021 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Management was swift and proactive in response to the pandemic. 14-months on, and now able to visit my mother again, their procedures regarding safety are second to none. Despite my mother great age and deteriorating medical condition, she looks well cared for, and the staff have been instrumental in
reminding her who I am. I wouldn't;t have her anywhere else.

Review from James (Grandson of Resident) published on 22 April 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Gratwick House looked after my grandmother. My grandmother absolutely loved her time at Gratwick and felt very much at home. The staff were fantastic at what they do and very attentive to all of my grandmother's needs. There was always this aura of a happy/fun/loving atmosphere about the place - staff
smiling, residents smiling - it really did feel like a “home”. I would often visit my grandmother at Gratwick in their beautiful garden and the staff would bring us both a cup of tea and biscuit. I would then take my grandmother for walks along the seaside in her wheelchair. The seaside is only a 2-minute walk from Gratwick, so it’s a fabulous location. Sadly, my grandmother passed away in the home. The thing that will always stay in my heart is that certain members of staff, who were not on duty that evening, came in to pay their respects to my grandmother moments after her passing. Gratwick House will always hold a special place in my heart.

Sadly my Mum passed peacefully today and I would like to take this opportunity to give my heartfelt thanks and love to all the staff at Gratwick, all the nurses, the management team, the doctors, the carers, the cooks, the washer-uppers for all their care and love whilst looking after Mum.
Myself,
my sister and most importantly my Mum could have asked for nothing more, you guys and girls are the real heroes, thank you.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.208)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.208) out of 10 for Gratwick House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 2 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.6 out of 5 from 2 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 4.583 for Gratwick House is calculated as follows: ( (14 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 24 Ratings = 4.583
  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 3.625 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gratwick House is based on 2 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 = 3.125
    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. 2 Positive Reviews ÷ 4 = 0.5
  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.
