  • Glennfield Care Home, Wisbech
Located in a peaceful residential area, Glennfield is a purpose-built care home in the historic market town of Wisbech, near the royal estate of Sandringham in Norfolk.

A dedicated and experienced team provides respite and long-term care, including residential, dementia, nursing, nursing dementia, and end-of-life care. The compassionate team takes time to understand each individual’s life story, aspirations, and preferences, ensuring a truly person-centred approach to care, wellbeing, activities, and meals.

Glennfield offers a warm and engaging environment, fostering a strong sense of belonging. A Lifestyle Coordinator works with residents and their families to provide a variety of enriching opportunities, allowing individuals to participate as much as they wish.

Every suite includes a self-contained kitchenette, enabling the people who live at the home to prepare their own breakfast or snacks, while visitors are always welcome.

At the heart of the home is a vibrant coffee shop, a popular social hub hosting activities such as card games and knitting groups. It is also a welcoming space for residents to meet with family over coffee and homemade cake. Special bar events, organised in partnership with Elgoods Brewery, are always well attended and enjoyed.

Review from Becky W (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 February 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is one of the hardest decisions anyone can make to put a loved one into a care home. The guilt can be life-changing but seeing how well looked after Mum is has made this whole experience bearable. Everyone in Glennfield loves and cares for her like they would their own. When I visit I see how safe
Mum is and how her individual needs are catered for in every possible way. Because of everyone there working so hard I get to still have some semblance of a life. It would be impossible without them all. I may have lost a lot of my mum to dementia but I have gained the kindest and most supportive version of a family I could have hoped for. I really couldn’t recommend Glennfield more, it creates shining stars in a very dark place.

Review from Kingsley F (Son of Resident) published on 29 June 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Absolutely astonishing level of care and love towards the people living here! Bright cheerful rooms with quality furniture. An atmosphere of cooperation, family spirit, respect and real skill in dealing with elderly or difficult people. Led by a manager of deep insight and massive common sense. Decent
food from a team of ladies unafraid to offer plenty of vegetables alongside tasty main dishes.
While there seems to be nobody 'just doing their job', because this is clearly not accepted as enough, there are some people working there who remind me of Florence Nightingale in their loving dedication to the real welfare of the residents. It is difficult to express sufficiently in words our gratitude to these people for looking after my ailing mother so well.

My husband was a resident of Glenfield Care for over seven years. This was his home and he was almost always treated with respect and kindness, dignity and humour; despite his many requirements and independent nature! The whole family was made to feel welcome always.

Dad was a resident of Glenfield for over seven years. We appreciate all the care he was given during this time. He enjoyed many activities and the lovely gardens.
Thank you for all you did until the end.

Every week I visit my brother and am always surprised at the love and positivity of the caring staff towards the residents foremost, but also towards their sometimes fragile visitors. It makes, what could be a challenging time, a more enjoyable time. Thank you to all.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My brother has been a resident for approximately three and a half years. The management team, carers, care assistants and nurses have been very professional, friendly and most of all caring to my brother, as well as supportive to our family. He settled in very well and it has been his home ever since.
Thank you to all concerned.

Review from Margaret F (Mother of Resident) published on 8 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Of course, I would prefer my son not to be in any care home, but as this is not possible I cannot think of a better place for him to be.
He is comfortable, well cared for and I believe he is loved by many of the wonderful staff.
I would also like to mention that the carers are sensitive to my needs,
often offering hugs when I leave my son.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.732)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.732) out of 10 for Glennfield Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.732 for Glennfield Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (177 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 224 Ratings = 4.732
  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 Glennfield Care Home is based on 18 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 18 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.
