The Gables Reviews (4)
Over all time The Gables has 4 reviews.
Good, clean and friendly staff at the Gables Care Home.
The wonderful staff always take such good care of Dad and he is very happy and settled there. I had a slight problem, nothing to do with his care and the manager and owners sorted it out right away and kept me informed. I recommend the Gables if your loved one needs a genuine, caring home that really does feel like a family.
My mother has been a resident for five years, and recently all furnishing have been upgraded to a high standard.
Residents are encouraged with activities suitable to their abilities and enjoy these.
Food is good and residents have regular meal times.
I live many miles away and recently have been unable to visit very frequently. Staff are conscious of keeping me informed and helping with communication with my mother.
I feel confident she is well cared for and loved by staff.
My grandmother was a resident of this home and I wanted to say how much I appreciated how well she was treated well. The staff ensured that she was treated with the utmost kindness and dignity. The food was delicious and lovely and they had things to do at the home. I understand that there was a new manager in place and new owners and they were keen to ensure that everyone was very happy and that they were focussing on refurbishing this home to make what was once a dated home to look really nice and modern. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a fantastic service.
Thank you very much for your kind review and we are delighted with the recommendation.
