I came into Gregory House in July 2019 and from my first visit to look around, to the present time, I have been cared for in every way, in a respectful and dignified manner. Nothing is too much trouble for our carers, and I have been encouraged to bring my own furniture and books to make my room cosy.
Care, food, entertainment and company all top-notch! Thanks all for doing such a marvellous job.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
When I knew mum needed to move to a care home, I researched those available in the area and read the CQC reports. After visiting several, I have no hesitation in choosing Gregory House. My first impression was one of a lovely, caring home where the staff were extremely welcoming and it was clear that
the residents were happy and well cared for and plenty of activities to stimulate them.

My husband has been to Gregory House for the last month one day a week. This gives me a break as he has had Alzheimer's/dementia for 5 years and walking difficulties from a blocked artery in his right leg. The care and attention he has received there has been amazing. It is 5 star. They are all friendly,
kind and all good at their jobs.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From our first acquaintance with Gregory House, we realised that this was something special. The 'outstanding' award is not given lightly by care home inspectors, and we recognised that this accolade had been applied accurately and appropriately.
Mum, a feisty and independent 99-year-old, had always
been fiercely opposed to the notion of full-time care, but after a few visits, she was won over and happily agreed to join this excellent care home when a place became available; she has been a resident for a fortnight.
The administrators and staff are delightful, skilled and totally committed to the care of their residents. Mum's key worker is a joy and came in during leave to welcome Mum and spend time helping her adjust to new surroundings. Every request and query has been answered with courtesy, resulting in a speedy resolution - nothing has been too much trouble. We are very fortunate that Mum is at Gregory House and completely reassured about the quality of her care provision.

Always friendly staff. It is like a home from home nothing is ever too much trouble and always there to listen and help anytime. Nice and clean ample amount of food and drink. Residents are free to do what they choose, eat what they want, get up when they want and never any pressure. One of the nicest
homes in the area. Lovely in every way.

Review from Katie H (Next of Kin) published on 26 July 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
What can I say. Absolutely fantastic home and staff, especially the senior members of staff bought us so much peace and reassurance that our loved one was looked after and most of all, happy. They sat and listened to not just my family member but all residents there, taking the time to chat about the
old days or make them laugh and you could see the resident's face light up. It's not just a profession to the staff. They really do care and that's what you need when it comes to the hard decision of putting a family member into a home such as Gregory House. I recommend the place a hundred times over. Thank you so much for all you've done.

Bright, colourful and a happy environment with warm ethos from the moment you go inside. You can feel the affection shown by staff from the welcome on the point of arrival. Staff work as a team and show real pride in their work. A variety of activities take place. The gardens are attractive and well
maintained. Mental and emotional needs are met, you feel safe and respected and are treated as an individual. A quality care experience.

We have been coming to volunteer for 2 months. We had a detail induction and have been made very welcome. We have been supported in running a range of activities with the residents. Painting, colouring, drawing, singing and finding out about residents interests and things that are important to them.

Hello, I am so happy my dad is being so well looked after. All of the staff are so friendly and caring not just to the residents but the family as well. He enjoys the food especially the puddings. He has adjusted really well and is content and happy. He is in a lovely room. He likes to go to bed after
tea and they are happy to assist him.
They treat him and everyone with respect and dignity. I am always really happy to visit him, in fact, it brightens my day too. It's kind of like a home from home. God bless everyone.

Gregory House is a wonderful care home. On each occasion, I visit my father, the staff and management are extremely welcoming throughout my visits and any questions or issues about either my father's welfare of requirements are dealt with quickly and reported back when completed. The food is fantastic
and I often join my father for lunch. Very peaceful and rooms are tidy and adequate. Lots of entertainment is organised and optional, peaceful areas are available too.

There's always a good atmosphere and as vistors, we always feel welcome.
Most carers are kind and helpful, one or two are exceptional.
The care that we have witnessed is good, sometimes more staff are required to help with toileting and baths and showers.
One of the best homes in Grantham. Well done
all.

Dining room floor is never clean, also the tables and chairs.
The staff seem to spend most of their time in the office, not with the residents.
The drain in the car park has been blocked for 12 months, flooding in heavy rain.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.827)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.827) out of 10 for Gregory House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.827 for Gregory House is calculated as follows: ( (161 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 191 Ratings = 4.827
  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 Gregory House is based on 16 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 16 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.
