My grandad has settled in really well. Staff have got to know him quickly and are very reassuring helping him to settle. They are very welcoming and provide good communication. Grandad is a fussy eater, but hasn't once complained about the food.

Thank you for lovely comments, its lovely to hear that you are happy and satisfied with the care you grandad receives.

Overall Experience

My nan stayed at Gresley House for three weeks whilst I was on honeymoon. My nan had lots of visitors whilst at Gresley House who all fed back to me telling me that my nan was happy. She loved all the staff, she enjoyed the food being served. My nan was poorly while she was on respite and immediately action was taken to ensure she was treated correctly.

Review from Valerie I (Sister-in-law of Resident) published on 20 October 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
After being diagnosed with Vascular Dementia, it soon became obvious my sister-in-law could no longer live alone and needed 24/7 care.
Gresley House welcomed her as a resident 20 months ago, and she soon settled in under the loving care of all the staff.
In my opinion, they go above and beyond looking after the residents making sure they see to all their needs.
She is content and safe in the care of the amazing staff at Gresley House.

Thank you all so much.

Overall Experience

From the very first day that my Dad (who has vascular dementia) arrived to live at Gresley House, I have been thoroughly impressed with the care he has received from the lovely staff here. They have been amazing! The communication with my siblings and me about how my Dad is getting on has been excellent. We’re always kept informed on his well-being. I’ve visited Dad as often as possible and he has settled well. I can sense that he feels at home here. He’s always loved his food too and says that the meals here are excellent. Our grateful thanks to the team.

Review from Gaynor (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 April 2021 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

It was very traumatic bringing my dad (who has vascular dementia) to a Care Home that we were unable to visit beforehand because of COVID-19. The staff at Gresley House have been wonderfully caring and have done their utmost to keep me and my siblings informed and to enable us to speak to him regularly. He is being very well cared for and from what we hear from him, the food is excellent and the staff are always very kind. He has done some painting, made some bird feeders, decorated Chinese lanterns and decorated an Easter hat and often plays draughts. They have from time to time sent us photos of him and we are well informed also via our personal WhatsApp group. If ever dad has fallen, they have been quick to tell us and we feel that we can entrust him to their care with total confidence. Thank you so much to you all for looking after him with dignity and loving care.

Overall Experience

Gresley House is the home of my grandmother. We have peace of mind that she is somewhere safe and at home, my grandmother has dementia and can’t remember much but one thing she never forgets is how much she loves living at Gresley House. When I visit Gresley House it seems to me like one big family of people, everybody is so lovely and welcoming. Thank you so much for taking care of my grandmother and supporting us as a family. You have given us peace of mind. It has also been relieving to know that the safety of my grandmother has been maintained through the awful pandemic we are facing. Thank you so so much. All the best.

Review from Lorraine K (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father came into the care home at the end of December 2019. As I was shown around I was extremely impressed with how clean everywhere was. The lounges and his bedroom looked very comfortable and homely. The carers have been outstanding, they soon got to know my dad and pay him so much attention. He loves music and they are always having a sing-along and dance with him, play his favourite songs and make him feel very special. He just loves being in their company and all of our family are so grateful in the knowledge that he is happy and being well looked after. We are given updates as to how he is and we can ring and Facetime him, which has been so comforting with not being able to see him during the Coronavirus pandemic. Since being in the home he has picked up no end, he sleeps well, eats lovely meals in the nice dining area, bought homemade cake, hot/cold drinks to him when relaxing in the lounges, where there are large TV's to watch. I cannot credit the care home and staff enough.

Review from John T (Son of Resident) published on 9 June 2020 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My father was welcomed into Gresley House just after Christmas of 2019 following a very difficult period for the entire family.
Despite never being away from his wife and home and being diagnosed with dementia he has settled in wonderfully, much to the relief of the whole family.
The quality of loving care he has received has been exceptional.
Due to the current pandemic, we've been unable to visit for several weeks but the family are able, thanks to the staff, to have regular virtual visits.
It is clear that my dad is happy and well cared for, albeit still very upsetting to see his dementia taking hold of him in this cruel way.

Without the care and help and professionalism of the entire team at Gresley House, I really don't know how the family could have coped. We knew very little of this awful illness which is slowly taking our Dad away from us but thanks to Gresley House they are helping my dad to live what time he has left with dignity.

My dad has been in Gresley House since March. I am extremely pleased with his care and how the staff have helped him to settle in. Nothing is too much trouble. Obviously, in these times of lockdown, we have not been able to visit but we can ring and speak to him whenever. The staff are always friendly and helpful on the phone. I think the staff do a tremendous job. I would highly recommend the home to anyone.

Staff are excellent, the food is very good and with the new manager in place you can see the difference. I would question if there were enough staff on nights to cover the home in general.

Reply from Jenny Tivey, Registered Manager at Gresley House

Thank you so much for your review, feedback is vital for quality monitoring and I will pass your comments onto the team. I would like to assure you that we are fully compliant with night staffing hours and we can discuss this further at any time. I will also add night staffing hours and procedure to the next residents' meeting. Many thanks.

Leanne Peace
Leanne PeaceJob Title:Registered ManagerJoined: 2025

My name is Leanne, and I am proud to be the Registered Clinical Manager at Gresley House. I have been a registered nurse for over 20 years, originally training and working as a Theatre Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Scrb Practitioner within maternity services.

I moved into the care home sector in 2013, where I developed a strong passion for supporting older people and those living with complex care needs. I joined Oak Tree Care Group in 2021 as a Registered Nurse at our flagship home, Tynefield Court, where I progressed to Deputy Manager and then Home Manager.

I was later given the opportunity in 2025 to move to Gresley House as Home Manager, where I led and commissioned the nursing service within the home. I now proudly continue to lead the service as Registered Manager.

I truly love Gresley House and feel very proud of the team we have built here. Together we work hard to create a warm, welcoming environment where residents are treated with dignity, respect and kindness. I am passionate about ensuring every resident receives the highest standard of care while still feeling at home, surrounded by people who genuinely care about their well-being.

If you are considering care for a loved one, please feel free to call the home — I would be delighted to speak with you and show you around Gresley House.

One of the most rewarding parts of my role is getting to know our residents and their families, and helping to ensure Gresley House always feels like a true home for those who live here.
