Review from H W (Daughter of Resident) published on 31 October 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My dad came on a discharge to assess, he has settled well and after some confusion of what happens here, we spoke to both a senior and a carer who went out of their way to explain my dad's situation. We felt very welcome and more happy with how my dad's care is. The only point I would make is there
is a lack of communication between the hospital, social worker and home about family expectations of their relatives' care. Overal,l I am happy with the home.

Members of staff who are Julie, Rachel, Sarah and Dorothy, I would say go over and above their own jobs, making people comfy and safe. I personally felt very safe in their hands. The rest weren't really bothered with caring, just got together for a laugh. Some people were treated very bad and bullied.

I cannot fault the lovely ladies that work at Gildawood Court, from the lady on reception and the lovely care people. Mum has settled in lovely and our family know she is having the best care and food possible. My only criticism is the decor is very tired and I think all the rooms would benefit from
a lick of paint to make it as colourful as the staff. The room furniture is also a bit worse for wear.

Review from Helen A (Daughter of Resident) published on 1 August 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
Our dad was placed in a D to A bed here, we had no other care home choice. Reception staff are lovely, but dad nor any of his family enjoyed this placement. The home seems very clinical, has no carpet, and we were told not to go in at lunchtime. The dietician agreed that we should go in to encourage
dad to eat; the food was awful, we took pictures of one meal, and I completely understand why dad (who loved to eat!) refused dinners. The staff were ok, but did not communicate with us. They all went for a tea break at 3pm, so if you needed a member of staff that wasn't possible. We requested a DNR to be put in place but it wasn't.


Dad has dementia, so staff would ask him him he wanted to go into the dining room or sit in the chair, but he always said, "no". They would never pursue this so he didn't get out of bed at all for the 4 weeks he was there. His mobility has always been a problem, but they have made this worse through their lack of perseverance.

When I first visited Gildawood I was greeted by the lady on reception who was very friend and helpful. I was taken to my dads room which is very nice clean and comfortable. The nurses are very friendly and explained how dad would be taken care of and if we need to ask any questions. There were there
to help, the food is first class with very good choices. My dad really enjoys the food. We feel comfortable that dad is in good hands and taken care of without any worries.

Found the home smelly. Very few staff at any time. White staff can be rude. Black girls are more friendly. Untrained and taking too long to care for residents. The toilet had excrement in and the bedpan had too. I had to clean and flush the toilet. The resident is made to feel they were in the way and
made to feel prisoner.

Just cannot fault the care received by Dad at Gildawood. He went from being bed ridden and unable to feed himself after hospital discharge to being up on his feet and getting a little bit of independence back even with him living with Alzheimer's. Big thanks to all the staff. You are all amazing and
he would have definitely stayed with you if it was closer to home.

Mum's been in care for nearly 3 years and as her health has deteriorated her support has increased. I can't fault the way she's been treated throughout her stay or how the home keeps her family up to date with her changing medical needs.
On visits when staff have been present, nothing has been too
much trouble and they have taken time to talk and answer questions about Mum when asked. Thank you all for everything you do.

I viewed Gildawood prior to my mum becoming a resident. I knew straight away it was the right home for my mum. It just felt right - the atmosphere, the location and the home itself.
What I had not bargained for was just how fabulous the staff are. They go above and beyond to support my mum. Even when
staff and my mum are not aware I have arrived, I can see the relationship they have with her.
I can't thank them enough! Everything is just perfect!

Shortage of qualified staff. Agencies used do not speak properly to residents. Sometimes too quiet. My husband has not had his teeth cleaned or false teeth stuck in for over a year.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.167)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.167) out of 10 for Gildawood Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.167 for Gildawood Court is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (60 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (20 Poors x 2) + (19 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 276 Ratings = 4.167
  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 Gildawood Court is based on 20 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 20 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.

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2020

I joined Gildawood Court as Home Manager in September 2020, after spending the last 15 years of my career in the care sector.


I first started in 2005 as a support worker for adults with learning disabilities, becoming a CQC Registered Manager in 2009. Since then, I have managed various care settings, including domiciliary, supported living, residential and also nursing before starting at Gildawood Court.


As Home Manager, I enjoy the variety and challenges which each day brings at a care home. I have been impressed with how the team at Gildawood Court genuinely know the residents as individuals and treats everyone with such care and respect.


It is my responsibility to ensure that our residents receive the best care possible, that they are listened to and that their needs are met. It is also really important that my staff are supported in their role to assist our residents. It is a team effort and we all need to be working together to ensure the development of the home is the best it can be for its residents, relatives and staff.


I am also looking forward to building strong relationships with the local community and being active in exploring the lovely surrounding area.


In my spare time, I like to take my dog for walks and relax on the sofa watching a good movie.
