Review from Vera P (Respite Resident) published on 19 December 2017 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

I didn't know what to expect. I went for 2 weeks whilst I had my bathroom made into a wet room. I had to stay another 5 days because it wasn't finished. Everything was superb, a beautiful room with a large television, very comfy single bed and the staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. The food was to die for. It was just like a holiday. I have COPD and hardly any balance. Meals were brought to my room when I wanted - everything was excellent. If I needed a home, I'd go there for good.

Overall Experience
Gresley House provides excellent care for my father, who has some physical disabilities as well as Alzheimer's.
The care, food and environment have improved immensely over the last few years.
The activities and events are stimulating and enjoyable for us all.
My family and I are always made welcome and are always offered tea and cake.

I heartily recommend Gresley House to anyone looking for a homely, friendly care home.

Overall Experience

My mum moved here from another home this year. I cannot fault the home, they care for mum so well, physically and emotionally. She has put on weight and is much happier. We do not have to worry about appointments and professional visits as they sort everything and just give us a ring to update us.

Review from Steve (Grandson of Resident) published on 5 September 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We reluctantly placed my grandad at Gresley House when we could no longer meet his needs at home; We cannot fault the care he now receives, he appears happy and we can now spend quality time with him when we visit. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The manager phones us herself to update us on his health and well being. I would recommend Gresley House to anyone looking for a homely place for their relative.

Review from Elaine D (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 16 June 2017 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My mother in law has been a resident here for the past 2 years after initially going in for respite care and it quickly becoming clear that she would struggle to cope on her own at home. From the minute she has been here she has been treated with respect and care and the staff have taken the time to talk to both her and the family to get to know us, and find out what they could do to make Mum's life as comfy as possible. Since Mum has been here her general health seems to have improved and I believe this is thanks to the attention she gets from all the staff.

In the last 2 years, the home has had new management and the house has been refurbished and it now has a warm and welcoming feeling. There is a lovely garden for the residents to enjoy and several community rooms for different activities.

Nothing seems to be too much trouble and any requests or problems are dealt with promptly and with no fuss.

Review from Brian M (Brother of Resident) published on 20 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

Although my brother was in Gresley House a short while, I must admit he was looked after and cared for, we couldn't have asked for a better well run care home. The management and staff looked after him and us and kept us informed on his every need. Sadly he died on the 11th June but he was looked after and made as comfortable as possible and he was treated in a sympathetic and caring way and would like to thank the manager and staff at the Gresley House care home.

Review from Jill (Daughter of Resident) published on 25 January 2016 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mum spent 2 weeks respite care in Gresley House. She needed support at night at very short notice. All the staff were very friendly and very caring towards her. In fact they were very caring toward myself as well. They would always offer me a cup of coffee or tea when I visited. Nothing seemed too much trouble at all. There was always a positive, happy and welcoming atmosphere during the time she stayed.
My mum was given a room that had been newly refurbished. Although the single room had no toilet, there was a sink in the corner which was very handy for washing and cleaning teeth.

She had 3 ample meals throughout the day and plenty of opportunities for drinks whenever she wanted one.

Excellent care home. Friendly and warm staff. The recent renovations are looking superb and provides a clear message to welcome new guests.

There has recently been a new Manager appointed within the establishment that is keen to adhere all new legislation and keeping the property to the high standard required.

Review from Alison D (Daughter of Resident) published on 30 October 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My mother has been a resident in Gresley House for several months, and the move has had a beneficial affect on her health and well being. Without exception staff are warm and welcoming, creating a very homely environment. Every effort is made to engage residents and relatives in day to day activities, nothing is ever too much trouble. My mother's care plan reflects her individual needs and preferences and my observations are that care is delivered in a dignified and personalised manner.

Before moving in staff made us aware that there were refurbishment plans for the home which are currently being implemented.

Review from Jane K (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 October 2015 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
My Mother has been a resident at Gresley House since June 2014 when she was diagnosed with profound dementia. It was a serendipitous find by my sister.
The first thing that attracted us to Gresley House was the friendly and caring attitude of the staff.
They get to know the residents, and their little ways, and treat them according to their needs - always with sensitivity.
As a relative I am always treated with courtesy and offered refreshment.

At all levels the staff keep me informed of changes or needs relating to my Mother's care.

The home was taken under new ownership earlier this year and is currently being refurbished, new floors, new seating and more to come. The staff have also been undertaking courses to enable them to better understand and enable their day to day interactions with the residents.

I would have no hesitation recommending Gresley House.

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.

I am incredibly passionate about Gresley House and proud to be part of such a dedicated team. We work hard to ensure the residents who live here receive the highest standards of care in a warm, respectful and supportive environment.

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.
