Grovelands

The management and staff at Grovelands could not have been more supportive and helpful. My mother-in-law has dementia and has settled in extremely well. The communication between the home and ourselves is very good. They call us if anything at all happens or my mother-in-law is unwell and regularly update us on Dr's Visits etc. The food is excellent and my mother-in-law enjoys the regular tea trolley with biscuits! We take great comfort knowing she is so well cared for and all her needs are being neat. Highly recommend Grovelands.

I enjoy the activities especially when I go out and about.

All the staff are kind and helpful and I have a good relationship with them.

Grovelands is a lovely place to live, it is comfortable and has a beautiful garden to sit out in the summer.

My mother has been here for nearly a year and the staff care very well for her. They have gone to great pains to get to know her and what activities she likes and doesn't like. They keep the family very well informed of medical and other issues. The home is just that - a home where we can pop in anytime we like. A real find.

Each time I have visited my uncle I have found the staff very caring and informative. The home is kept beautifully clean. The food served looks delicious and seems varied. Trips out and activities within the home seem to meet the needs of the residents all of whom seem happy and well looked after. It is good to see such a well run and happy home which has high standards and excellent care. I am very happy to recommend the home facilities and staff.

My mother has settled in well and made friends with both the residents and the staff very easily which is very comforting. She gets out and about regularly and enjoys the many activities in the home to occupy her.

The staff are all very helpful and look after all her needs despite my mother being very independent.

All the above makes it easier to accept my mother is in a home and brings peace of mind that she is well looked after. Thank you.

My father attended Grovelands for daycare twice a week throughout 2017. He is living with vascular dementia and needed the activities and social contact this care home could offer. The staff are wonderful, kind, patient and unfailingly friendly. The variety of activities is imaginative, ranging from singing to cookery. Dad usually took part in them all with gentle encouragement sometimes. Thank you Grovelands staff for your wonderful care of my dad.

Mum loves going to Grovelands for daycare. She has told me"they are like my family". She enjoys all the varied activities and has been taken on several wonderful day trips which have been fantastic. The staff are very welcoming and caring and have helped with medication when needed. Nothing has been too much trouble and I can relax when I know mum is there.

Mum comes for daycare and a bath weekly. The home is clean and comfortable, staff are understanding of Mum's needs. Fantastic.

I have been very well looked after by cheerful, helpful staff since I moved here two years ago.

I have nothing but praise for Grovelands. The care given to my wife is second to none. The staff are brilliant and offer all kinds of therapeutic activities and trips out. The care workers go that extra mile with their patience and caring. All residents get fantastic food with a daily choice of menu. My wife is happy and contented at Grovelands. I could not wish for more.

My mother has been a resident at Grovelands for over 5 years. During the whole of this period she has been extremely well cared for in every way. I cannot praise highly enough the very caring staff and the love and care given to my Mum.

I enjoyed my two weeks at Grovelands where I went while my son and daughter in law were on holiday.

The staff were all very friendly and helpful and I only had to ask for anything I needed and it was provided. I love my garden at home and would have liked a room looking onto a garden and wish I had asked to have a walk sometimes.

Grovelands has a happy atmosphere and I enjoyed having a bath which I no longer have at home as I changed it to a shower.

I am looking forward to my next holiday at Grovelands.

My father in law has been a resident for two years and is very happy and content with the care he receives. The facilities are good and surroundings clean and comfortable. I have found over that time that the majority of staff treat their job as a vocation, and go the extra mile to make sure father is well looked after. Now in his ninety third year and having been in a managerial post for most of his working life, he can be very demanding in his nature, and fussy about his diet. The staff are very patient and cope with his demands very well. He remains in his room for the majority of his day and will not eat in the dining room with the other residents. Consequently, when his food arrives it is sometimes quite cold. He loves the garden and enjoys the occasional stroll, and wishes more attention could be paid to its upkeep. These are only a few small niggles in what is generally a very well run home.

My wife is in for one week's respite care. She is well looked after by the staff and treated with respect by all. Would recommend to anyone.

When you visit Grovelands the surroundings are well maintained and comfortable. The rooms are large (with en-suite) allowing residents to bring their own furniture to personalise their space. All the food is to a high and well-balanced standard. The overall environment is well above average but the staff take the home to the extraordinary level of care. Based on solid professionalism they engage with each and everyone and make every effort to make this home a truly caring place. It is this alone that makes this particular Residential Care home excellent.

Mum has made some good friends and enjoys a good laugh with both staff and residents.

Review on my mother's needs/welfare etc carried out by supervisor and personal carer conducted with my mother and myself. Very professional. Very caring, knew my mother's needs and problems and very helpful with advice on slight changes in her needs. Overall we are very happy with the care and attention shown by all the staff.

Staff friendly and helpful. Always helpful in phone calls. Nice touches- welcoming card and flowers.
