I have found the service good/satisfactory. One point is the regularity with which the manager changes. I am not happy with the fact that my mother has been kept in her room for several years now. I know that she is no longer able to socialise but I feel she has been bed bound longer than necessary.
Reply from Reece Welsted, Home Manager at The Knoll Care HomeHi, Thank you for your review it was out of the homes control for a previous manager leaving, prior to myself joining as Home Manager, I am here for the foreseeable future.
In respect of your mum's care this is due to medical needs and we are more than happy for you to meet with the medical support to discuss this further

My lovely mum-in-law reached the point where she needed 24-hour care, which isn't an easy thing for any family. However, my wife had been given a good report about The Knoll and luckily, there was a room available, so Mum moved there in September and settled in pretty quickly. We have been impressed
with the level of care provided and the kindness and patience of the staff and management, always ensuring that any health issues that arise are dealt with promptly. Mum has been much better in herself since moving to The Knoll - she is eating better and is happier having more company than she did living on her own. She was offered the opportunity to move into a bigger room recently, which has a wonderful view over the lovely gardens at the rear, where mum loves to watch the wildlife, including deer, hares and rabbits. I am so pleased that, due to the confidence my wife has in the staff at The Knoll, the stress she was under is no longer an issue, thanks to Reece and his brilliant staff.
Reply from Reece Welsted, Home Manager at The Knoll Care HomeThank you very much for your kind and thoughtful review. We're delighted to hear that your mum-in-law has settled in so well and is happier, eating better, and enjoying the company and surroundings at The Knoll.
Your appreciation of our staff and management means a great deal to us, and we're especially pleased to know that your wife now feels reassured and supported. Thank you for trusting us with your mum-in-law's care.

This is a place I would send my worst enemy. Totally mis advertised and misleading website. It hardly does anything that it advertises. Ive never seen a written menu in a folder to choose from, and as for a wine menu??!!!!! never seen a bottle of wine there.! The care is not up to standard at all.
Breakfast meals constantly missed with various residents, clothing going missing and misplaced, cleanliness an issue. Twice in the last months my mother was there, residents saying 'if i pretend to be dead, maybe they will notice me' soul destroying to be around.
Reply from Chris Potter, Operations Manager at The Knoll Care HomeI am so sorry that you feel that the care your mother received was below the level you expected however I am unable to comment further regarding your allegations whilst we are in the process of investigating these concerns. Please rest assured that we take all concerns seriously and use these to improve our services.

Excellent staff who are caring and empathetic. Generally good facilities only marked down slightly by rooms not being en suite. I think in this day and age all care facilities should have at least some en suite rooms for guest able to use them unattended to maintain individual dignity. I accept this
facility probably does not have the infrastructure to support this. I only have respect and gratitude to a caring staff and carers.

We visited The Knoll in Gloucester to see my grandad and the home had a party, a lady was one hundred years old and another couple had been married sixty years. The manager and staff did a fantastic job decorating and cooking the lovely food. My grandad was not well, so was asleep and did not get to
enjoy the party. The singer was good and sang lots of songs the residents liked.

A wonderful place to leave a loved one to be cared for. Nothing was too much of a problem. Everyone from the managers to the handyman showed genuine care for my nanny. Beautiful grounds and well-equipped facilities.
If you are looking for somewhere that doesn’t just meet your loved one's physical needs
but gets to know them as an individual and does their utmost to cater for that - this should be your choice. Thank you to every member of the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.179)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.179) out of 10 for The Knoll Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 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 4.404 for The Knoll Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (104 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (12 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 141 Ratings = 4.404
  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 4.775 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Knoll Care Home is based on 11 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    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 34 registered maximum number of service users is 6.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
