I felt very relieved when Dad got a place here. It felt right from the first visit to me. The staff are all amazing so kind and patient with him. There has only been Dad and me for so long and I am so glad for the extra support, they feel like family even though he's only be there a short while. Julie is always available for a chat to update me even on the must challenging days. Dad doesn't ask for much but everyone goes out of their way to cheer him up and encourage him. It's great that the staff are local as that helps with the readjustment as they know what is going on and can talk to him about it, a real personal touch. Food is wonderful. I know he's in the right place and would recommend the home to anyone. Thank you all so much.
Thank you for these lovely comments about the care and support your dad is receiving at The Gables,we're so pleased you are happy with everything.

An excellent care home. Caring, patient, very helpful and understanding. Food is absolutely fantastic. A birthday cake is always beautifully made for residents. Activities are varied and plenty: always clean and well maintained. All staff seem genuinely happy and engaged with residents. Any questions are always answered. I feel very lucky my mum is there and I know she's being well cared for at all times. And the atmosphere and energy of the home is always positive. Happy.

We were recommended The Gables through the hospital discharge process.
On meeting the manager she put all my concerns over moving him from his own home. I had no idea how care homes worked or how much care the carers give.
He moved in as a very weak, quite depressed person.
A few weeks later the care he receives has built him up, and his mood is so much brighter.
I am so grateful for the kind caring people who work there.
Thank you for your lovely, kind comments about the care and support your Dad has received at The Gables. We will pass on your comments to the team at the home.

I stayed at The Gables home for the month of November. It was excellent. Food 10 star and care 10 star. I could not find one fault about anything. P.s I will return! Better than a 5 star hotel.

Mum came into The Gables for some respite care after having a fall and fracturing her arm. Neither of us had an idea about care homes, so were a little anxious of what it would be like. We initially met the manager who put us at ease, and mum moved in a couple of days later. She was so pleased - the staff throughout were excellent, they really looked after her every need. Food was excellent too - which is rate for mum to think that. Can't recommend The Gables any more highly - fantastic.
Thank you so much for your kind words about your Mum's recent respite stay at The Gables - we're so pleased we were able to support her at what was an anxious time for her.

My mother in law has received excellent care since being in The Gables. The staff are all fantastic and the Manageress, Julie, has gone beyond our expectations in helping gain a place for her in the carehome. She is so well looked after, with plenty of activities arranged and I hear the food is lovely too! The carehome has a real "home from home" feel but with all the facilities needed to care for their residents. Thank you to everyone for all your care and attention.
Thank you for your comments, we're delighted to read that you are pleased with how everything is going for your mother in law at the home.

My dad has now been in the Gables for almost a month, I have found the care home very helpful in every aspect from the initial care to his arrival at the home was very stress free. He was getting more and more frail living on his own and then a 2 weeks in hospital, and now he has settled into his new life, room and the routine of the home. He is happy and there is a lot of activities for him to join in with. I am very happy with his care and staff are wonderful.
Thank you for your lovely comments about the care and support your Dad is receiving at The Gables - we're so pleased he has settled well and is happy with us.

When I finally accepted that my mum needed far more help & support than I was able to give I contacted the Gables to discuss. The manager could not have been more helpful and supportive. The whole process was sorted so efficiently and fast. The moment my mum arrived I knew I had made the right decision. The manager had suggested I take clothing etc, in the previous day so that Mum was straight in and 'at home' immediately. Not only the manager the whole team are amazing. So caring and pleasant. Nothing is too much trouble.
Thank you for your kind comments about the care and support offered to your mum at The Gables. Its lovely to read how supportive you feel the whole process has been and for the kind comments about our Manager's advice and the support of the team at the home.
Exceptional care for a two week stay. Friendly staff, in a home away from home environment.

Since my father-in-law moved into The Gables he has settled in well after a week or two getting used to his new home which is completely understandable. Every member of staff from management, carers, maintenance and kitchen staff treat the residents with respect and compassion. The food is very good and varied and often follows themes like St Patricks Day, Easter etc. Friends and family are always welcomed and the staff are always smiling. The Gables is my father-in-law's new home.
thank you for your kind comments. We're pleased your father-in-law is settling well at The Gables and feels that it is now 'his new home'.

Friend recommended The Gables as given outstanding care to their parent for past 2 years. Father-in-law transferred to The Gables from hospital having fallen several times and now unable to keep self safe at home. Professional and caring staff worked diligently to ensure a smooth transition for him. He has settled very well, comfortable room, friendly staff and a relief to us knowing he has support on hand 24/7 as needed. Heartwarming that he now has the opportunity to interact with more people, at 91, having been widowed 10 years. Thank you all staff, your kindness and care is very much appreciated.
Thank you for your kind words about the care being provided to your father-in-law. We're delighted that you have the reassurance that he is now settled and enjoying his time with us at The Gables.
From my experience, I have found The Gables to be a warm and comfortable care home. All of the staff and residents seem to be so happy and contented. It reaches all of the standards marked as excellent to an impeccable level. Thank you.

Our dad has been in The Gables since November 2022, we have always been happy with the care and respect he is given. The range of activities they provide is great and the meals are all home-cooked and delicious. The staff are all very conscientious and kind and very welcoming to family too.

We had an excellent experience with The Gables in Chatteris where both my parents lived for 6 weeks. The quality of care they received was excellent and all the staff were kind, compassionate and attentive, and always ready to help with their needs. They took the time to get to know my parents personally, which made a real difference in how comfortable and happy they felt. The rooms were comfortable, homely, bright, and clean and the common areas were welcoming and encouraged social interaction among residents. Meals were nutritious, varied and tailored to the individual and could be taken in their room or in the dining area. Communication with the staff was seamless. They kept us informed about my parents' well-being and were always open to discussing their care plans or any concerns. I am deeply grateful for the exceptional care my parents received at The Gables. I highly recommend this care home to anyone seeking a nurturing and professional environment for their loved ones.
Thank you for your lovely compliments about our home. I'm glad that you were pleased with all aspects of the home from the care, catering, communication and comfort that they experienced.
