Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My aunt lived in Green Willow for three and a half years. She had a lovely bright room with lots of natural light and a nice view overlooking the wonderful garden. The garden has a fish pond in it, a vegetable patch, an outhouse and some beautiful trees and plants. The activities put on for residents
are extremely good. Living far away from my aunt meant that I didn't visit as much as I would have liked too if I had lived in Sussex. It was reassuring to see that every time my family and I visited and spoke to the staff on the phone, we were treated with respect and dignity. We all felt that my aunt was extremely well cared for. The staff are very thoughtful in updating the family with important news which made all the difference to us, given that my aunt had Alzheimer's Disease and was often unable to recall things. We honestly feel that my aunt couldn't have found a better home in her final few years. Thank you enormously for all of your support.

We loved having your aunt with us and were delighted when she decided to return to us permanently after only returning home for one night after a brief respite period! She is greatly missed by staff and residents!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum moved to Green Willow Residential Home in August 2021 during the pandemic, but we were allowed into her room which helped enormously in settling her in. She had a few ups and downs at the beginning due to her condition but the Green Willow Team have always been very accommodating and we have found
them very responsive to any requests. Mum is now much more settled and is enjoying some of the (many) activities on offer. It's lovely seeing her interact with other residents after being on her own for so long. The home is light and airy with two nice lounges, a separate dining room serving lovely meals and the whole home is surrounded by fantastic gardens which are easily accessible to mum and other residents. Would definitely recommend giving Green Willow Residential Home a try!

We chose Green Willow for our 100-year-old mother as it had a family feel and wasn't too big. The rooms open out onto the garden. My mother has settled in well and joins in the many activities. The staff are very caring and are good with communications. My mother enjoys the meals.

The home has been fabulous since my mother moved there just before Christmas. The communication has been fantastic both specifically related to mum and on issues affecting all residents. Most recently the introduction of a 'pod' to enable visits was done speedily and the process to use it really easy
- covid safe and every step clearly laid out. The staff are really friendly, professional and willing to help to make things as easy as possible. It all gives me confidence in the care mum is getting - backed up by what she tells me!
Reply from Amy-Louise Lee, Manager at Green Willow Residential Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is so helpful for other families looking into care for the first time. We are so pleased the pod visits are easy and are providing comfort to residents and families. Many thanks.

I was very satisfied with my mother's stay at the home and with the care she received. It was disappointing that she had to wait four days before her telephone was connected, (she hasn't got a mobile) and a few days before the remote control for the TV was found, especially as she was in self-isolation.
My mother did say that the picture was poor.
Reply from Amy-Louise Lee, Deputy Manager at Green Willow Residential Home

We're pleased to hear you mum's stay was satisfactory, as explained at the time of assessment the week your mother was due to come into Green Willow our maintenance was on annual leave causing a delay in a personal landline. However, the mobiles around the home are available 24/7 for residents to use and families to call to maintain those links with friends/family and the community.

Overall, I was very pleased and content during my two-week stay, even though I was in self-isolation. The room was comfortable with a very nice outlook, although the bathroom was rather small, not being helped by a small pile of PPE to be collected. The catering was very enjoyable, but on occasion,
there was a long wait for a cup of tea. The carers were very amiable, especially during the night. I was disappointed not to see any members of the management during my stay.
Reply from Amy-Louise Lee, Deputy Manager at Green Willow Residential Home

Thank you so much for this review we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. Due to guidelines, we have to follow protocols during an isolation period regarding PPE which means this will remain in the room until the end of the day to minimise contact and risk of transmission although we understand this can be annoying!

This is a superb residential home. During the years my mother-in-law lived there, Green Willow provided fantastic care. They were wonderful during the lockdown and facilitated my frequent phone calls to her, including callbacks each time she fell asleep and dropped the phone! Sadly, she died in September,
but peacefully and surrounded by staff who loved her and whom she loved too. When she passed on her way to her funeral, many staff and residents who were able, came out onto the street to pay their respects. Green Willow is wonderful, and staff really do go the extra mile. Many, many thanks to them for caring for this amazing 98-year-old woman, helping me to retain contact even though I live many miles away and giving me peace of mind that she was in safe, kind and loving hands.

My dad and step mum have been residents at Green Willow for two and a half years now, and have been looked after extremely well in all that time. I have been so impressed with the excellent quality of care and kindness that they have been shown and the concern for their wellbeing during this latest
pandemic. I love the way the staff have been creative in thinking of great activities to do at this time. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Green Willow to anyone who may be looking for a residential home that has a family feel and is warm and friendly, and not too big or institutional.

I just wanted you to know how wonderfully Green Willow are - their staff have been so caring and reassuring to my mum and step-father during the last 9 months. They have been really concerned about my diagnosis and chemo treatment in January and of course naturally very anxious about Covid. But this
home has been so reassuring for both of them and for myself and my partner. They have kept us in touch with the lovely photos they put on Facebook so regularly - of them felt I must write now - as it was my parents 32nd Wedding Anniversary yesterday and the staff excelled themselves in planning and executing a truly special day for them. This made me so happy as I cannot travel to see them at present and when I spoke to them today they were so very thrilled about 'their special day'. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff - they have such caring and empathetic staff - even when my mum can be difficult. I would recommend this home to anyone considering it.

My parents-in-law have been residents at Green Willow for about 2 and a half years. They were both reluctant to give up their independence and enter the care system but after a slightly rocky start from my mother-in-law, they settled very quickly. Green Willow staff are amazing! They always go the extra
mile to make the residents feel like they are part of a family. The resident's families are always welcomed as part of the Green Willow family and when we visit they know us by name. The staff do everything in their power to make this a home from home. Just recently it was my parents-in-law’s wedding anniversary. The staff arranged to get a meal from their favourite local restaurant and set up a private table to make them feel special. They included all the family by sending us all photos of the day so that even during COVID-19 restrictions we could share the celebration. We have been so happy that our loved ones are well cared for and would recommend Green Willow.

The home environment and care regime suit my mother's tastes and needs. All the care staff and management are very professional, and they do a great job of making people feel at home and secure. I am particularly impressed about the way that the home is managing my mother's medication regime and how
good they have been in keeping an eye out for anything brewing. It is very airy and clean around the home, and mum has a lovely room with a door opening out onto the garden. Mum seems pretty happy with the food - particularly the Sunday Roast! At this difficult time, they are all doing a brilliant job keeping everyone safe and going the extra mile to keep people entertained and cared for.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Green Willow Residential Home 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 17 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.844 for Green Willow Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (169 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 199 Ratings = 4.844
  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 Green Willow Residential Home is based on 17 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 17 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.

Job Title: Operations Director

I am the Operations Director of Kew Care Group and I support all the residents and the teams of staff at our four homes. I visit the homes regularly to check quality, to offer support and to share new initiatives.


I am a physiotherapist by training and I have always loved working with the elderly. I went back to the NHS after having kids but decided that Care Homes would give me the perfect flexibility and the group started in 2002. I love my job and the ever-evolving challenges that it brings. My husband Dominic works in the City of London and he is also a director of the Care Home business. His skills ensure that the homes run like clockwork and meet all the right budgets.
I also love my family and my children Luke and Grace who are moving into teenage-hood and keeping me on my toes. We also have a dog and a cat. I love walking and working in my garden. We go on holiday to Portugal every year and love travelling further afield when we can.


The best piece of advice that I have ever read is in a quote from Maya Angelou – “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel” and I try to remember this at work and at home!

I have been married for 21 years to Gary and have two boys aged 17 and 15 years old.

I don’t particularly like football but really enjoy supporting them on the side line even if I do embarrass them sometimes not knowing the rules of the game!!!

Hi, I’m Amy, Manager of Green Willow a small home in West Sussex near the sea! We support residents over 65 with short stays where needed, or if daily support is required and individuals have made the hard decision to stay here permanently. We are very much an extended family to the residents and staff, we share in each other's joys and celebrations and are there through the sadder times. Our annual Jazz In the Garden festival is known widely throughout the community!


I started working at Green Willow in 2015 as a care assistant before taking on the Manager role in 2020. I grew up in a family that worked in health and social care, which supported me in undertaking my Level 5 in leadership and management.


I have two young boys, Theodore & Zachary who are 3 & 1 years old, who regularly visit the home, and join in with the many wonderful activities our home has to offer, I’m passionate about inter-generational activities and love that my children can have a positive impact on those I look after. One of my favourite quotes is “Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world” from the BFG - Roald Dahl, often we forget that one small interaction can change the course of someone’s entire day for the better, and is one of the many reasons I started working in care from the age of 17.

I started at Green Willow as part of the housekeeping, before moving onto the care team and then being promoted to Team Leader focusing on care quality within the home and working my way up to Deputy Manager. I’m a caring person who’s always liked to help others. I love getting to know new things about the residents and learning new things myself. I have a son Aaron whom I’m very proud of I love going to the air arena with him. I previously trained as a hairdresser and still enjoy doing hair occasionally. My favourite quotes are: “If it’s not recorded it didn’t happen” & “There’s no I in team”.
