Grove Hill Care Home Reviews (56)
Over all time Grove Hill Care Home has 56 reviews.
Since the first day my mum moved into Grove Hill, it was visible to all the care for each individual. Nothing is too much trouble. The care is taken to help make her feel settled and welcome on her first day still prevails on her sixth year. This home goes from strength to strength and moves forward, fully supported by its staff, managers, residents and their families. While at work I have peace of mind, as I know mum will be safe and cared for with no hesitation. What more can I ask for?
Thank You , I will show the team your review. I would like also like to thank you for the tremendous support you give to the other Residents when you visit your Mother.
Highly recommended. Amazing staff. Our dad lived here and now our step dad is living here.
Thank you for the most positive review, I will bring it to the attention of the team here. It's great to know that you had such a positive experience when we cared for your Father in the past that you used this experience to ensure the home was the correct one for caring for your stepfather.
We are really pleased with the change in our Dad. He is being kept much cleaner. He is getting the one to one care he needs. The staff are very polite and friendly. They are very patient and caring towards Dad and the home is very clean since coming on 17th October 2016 from a previous home.
Thanks for the positive review . I will pass this on to the team here
This home has such a family feel. The staff are second to none. Nothing is too much trouble for either family or carer. For an example, they held an anniversary party for my in-laws.
Thanks for the lovely review , I will show it to the team here . Iam so pleased the Resident was able to enjoy the anniversary party with his visiting wife.
My mum has been a resident at Grove Hill Care Home for a number of years now during all this time the standard of care and attention provided by the staff has remained excellent. Although my mum has dementia, I can tell by her facial expressions and body language that she feels happy and relaxed. All the residents there are treated like well cared for and loved family members by the staff. They are mentally stimulated by the activities and games and also receive plenty of food, snacks and drinks throughout the day. I feel confident and have great peace of mind leaving my mum in the care of the management and staff of Grove Hill Care Home.
Thanks for this very positive review. These reviews are so important to the team here, knowing they are doing a superb job. I thank you again and will bring the review to the team's attention.
My wife is well cared for at the home, I always feel welcomed as a visitor. The staff are very kind. My wife is very happy in her own confused way.
Thanks for the positive review I will bring it to the attention of the team. I am pleased that you feel welcomed when you visit, this reflects on your wife's well-being and contentment.
Grove Hill is a fantastic place to visit relatives and friends. The staff are excellent in dealing with different situations and spending quality time with individual residents, nobody is forgotten. The management team are excellent and run a 5-star operation.
There are always different events happening to keep the residents engaged.
Thanks Philip for your most kind review, I will pass this it to the staff team. Your Mum was a fantastic caring employee when she worked at grove hill and it's a privilege for the home to care for her now. Several long term employees who worked with your mother are still employed, we have lovely...
I've always been greeted, welcomed and offered refreshments or lunch which I've always found good and adequate. My mother is checked on regularly as she prefers to stay in her room, she is always attended to promptly if she has to call. Although she is fully funded, I would suggest overall it is very good value for money.
Thanks Richard for the review, I will pass this on to the Staff team and especially the chefs. I am pleased you enjoy the food when you dine with your Mother. I believe, to share a meal, is to share love.
Sadly, after only four days, she passed peacefully in her own room, staff were amazing with us and mum throughout her stay for the whole 6 years. I too will miss going there and seeing them all. I have come to know them and feel comfortable around them like family.
Thank you, your mum will be missed. She was loved by all, I will pass a copy of your review to the team. The Home and the staff team do the best they can for all the Residents. Just wish the CQC would understand the nature and culture of love with care at Grove Hill instead of focusing on paperwork and record keeping with all its trivia.
My grandparents have been at Grove Hill Care Home for a year now and they have received the most amazing care, kindness and helpfulness anyone could ever expect to receive. All of the staff are fantastic so polite and respectful and very easy to get on with and always willing to answer any problems or queries, but as their very happy there we don't have any. I visit once or twice a week and have seen and met every member of staff and enjoy a chat with them all as do my grandparents. I would recommend Grove Hill Care Home to anyone who maybe looking for somewhere fantastic for caring.
Mum was able to take part in some of the entertainment sessions laid on too. The overall impression was a 'home from home' with professionals on hand to deal with any problems.
I feel grateful that mum enjoyed the last few months of her life in such an environment.
He enjoys his meals and is always clean and tidy. He also enjoys the activities. Overall he is treated with dignity and his care is second to none. I cannot praise Grove Hill enough.
From being up and mobile and still able to go out when she first arrived to now needing full care and assistance, each stage has been managed brilliantly. My family love and admire the staff. Mum is smiley and loving and the staff always show her love and care. Grove hill is very much "home" for her and we call the staff our "Grove Hill family".
Grove Hill Care Home is a small care home that is family owned and operated. This means that the owner and manager is very "hands on" and approachable. The home has a "whole-life" ethos so residents are not required to leave when their care needs increase. The staff are committed to the home, staff turnover is very small. The staff are very caring, although mums dementia got very bad towards the end. The staff took time to look after her in a caring and professional way. The carers are always interacting with residents, helping with crosswords, sing-songs and all sorts of other support. No-one is forgotten or excluded. The staff and management of this excellent little care home always treated mum with care and respect and were always happy to see us when we visited. I can thoroughly recommend Grove Hill Care Home. This covers period 31/12/2011 to 4/1/2016.
Grove Hill has a friendly and happy atmosphere. The residents all appear content and engage in activities that are fun, worthwhile and stimulating. The staff are extremely caring, treating individuals with patience, tolerance, dignity and love; as if they were members of their own families. The management and staff are very approachable and always strive to meet the needs of each individual and those of their families. The home is very diverse, catering for all different cultures, by celebrating events such as St Patricks day. Food is nutritious and of the highest standard. I am very grateful to the staff for the love, care and dignity they have shown my mother-in-law and would recommend this home to anyone who has a vulnerable relative wishing to receive excellent care.
10/10 I would like to say how wonderful this care home is. My mother received the best care I could ask for. All her needs are well catered for. There is always a lovely warm welcoming atmosphere in the home, even if the staff are dealing with a crisis or are feeling a bit run down. The care is second to none and I notice all the residents receive genuine care with dignity and respect. Definitely a real home from home. I would highly recommend this home to anyone needing care in their later years. A massive thank you to all the fantastic happy staff.
