Review from Azan L (Husband of Resident) published on 11 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Generally very satisfied with care being given. Only on one occasion when I felt it was necessary to comment on my wife's appearance (hair).


Very impressed when told that visiting was not allowed during a tummy bug episode.

Overall standard, care and support of residents is good and in our presence when visiting, staff are friendly and treat residents with dignity. Bedrooms are clean and tidy albeit a little dated in décor, but always well presented. The premises are always secure and staff always check who we are visiting.
Staff contact us immediately with any concerns or falls.

Review from L E (Daughter of Resident) published on 28 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The home was able to accommodate both my elderly parents at short notice and showed considerable understanding of their needs and personalities. Sadly my father was too unwell to enjoy the care he received and he died in hospital. My mother is now a permanent resident and declares that she is "very
happy", she had gone from being a rather miserable uncooperative person (she has vascular dementia) to a cheerful and engaged individual. The staff are extremely caring and seem fond of her. I never imagined that she would agree to join in activities and go on outings! She also loves the food, relatively plain but wholesome, well suited to that generation.(however, I dare not tell her the cost! She thinks it's free!).

Review from E L A (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 16 November 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Nan has now been at Ganarew House for 8 months.
It is still a hard time for the family but the staff at Ganarew have been so helpful and supportive.
They aren't just here to support our families, they are here to support us all.
My Nan has settled in well and has even made herself some friends
which gives myself and my family a bit of 'peace of mind'.
She goes out on the home's mini-bus and really enjoys her outings.
I honestly wouldn't have her anywhere else.
The home, care and staff are outstanding.
Thank you, everyone.

Review from Terina B (Daughter of Resident) published on 5 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have worked for social services for the last 32 years and I have worked as a care assistant alongside nursing for physical disabilities and now I work in daycare so I think I am definitely experienced enough to say that I find the staff at Ganarew House to be caring, patient, understanding and totally
professional in their daily interaction with my mum. As you can imagine it wasn't easy to leave my mum in the care of others - but when I go home, I know I have left her in their capable hands.

Review from Maggie E (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Dad initially went for respite care but now will be staying. He found the transition difficult but all the staff have been helpful and supportive.
Staff have been very understanding. They quickly got to know who my dad was as a person and not just another client.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
All the staff are very caring and affectionate and make my relative feel special.
Her heath and hygiene have improved greatly, she now has a good diet and is given medication as needed.
Her quality of life is much better since moving to Ganarew.

Review from Isabel A (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 25 May 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother-in-law has lived at Ganarew for 2 years. In that time she has transformed from her past life of loneliness, isolation, confusion day and night, poor diet, no personal care, paranoia and all the symptoms of dementia, to having a life that has transformed her and is as independent as it can
be.


She has constant company, care 24/7, amazing food, a safe environment and entertainment. She is so settled that she believes it's her workplace with the benefit of rooms. We can only thank the owners, managers and all staff for creating this outstanding place to live.

My husband has been a resident in Ganarew House for 3 1/2 years. At all times he is treated with the utmost kindness and care. The staff are exceptional I can't praise them too highly. From the manager to the carers, domestic and often staff members I have never received anything but politeness and
great friendliness.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.876)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.876) out of 10 for Ganarew House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.876 for Ganarew House is calculated as follows: ( (329 Excellents x 5) + (36 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 370 Ratings = 4.876
  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 Ganarew House is based on 31 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 31 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.
