In my opinion, there are care homes and care complexes; this is a care home in every sense of the world. You feel this is a home where everyone is made to feel part of the family.

My mum has been in Five Gables for just over 2 years now and it's the best decision she made. Everyone goes above and beyond to help and care for her. All the staff are very welcoming to our family members and look after my mum extremely well.

I am a volunteer, but I am also a friend to the family of one of the residents.
Even though the resident was not very responsive but he had very good care, and he also had other possible treatments, the same as others would.
This care home feels like the own home. So, if in my life I will have
to go into care, I would like to go into this care home or home like this.

My Auntie is a resident and it's extremely happy, she feels it's home. It's very important to her that she feels relaxed and safe and has helped us as a family move forward into this phase of her life and the care required. We have been warmly welcomed at the home and feel part of the daily activities
which are very well communicated to us. Thank you team!

My Mum moved into five Gables in June, she has dementia & we could not manage anymore, looking after her at home. I told her she was going to stay in a hotel, and they would look after her for me. Which it sure is a 5 Star hotel. All the staff are so kind, helpful & professional in their approach
Ttowards my Mum & the other residents.
Five Gables has a really family feel, with excellent freshly cooked meals, everyday. I am so pleased they had a room for my Mum.

My mum was looked after by the excellent staff in Five Gables for almost 2 years. She was given her dignity throughout and allowed the level of care she needed. When the time came that she was end of life she was on full care and could not have been kept more comfortable. Staff were professional but
friends to mum and the family, they loved her as much as we did.

Mum visited Five Gables Kirkby in Ashfield about 2 years ago on respite and liked it so much that she decided to make it her permanent home just a few weeks later. The staff at Five Gables have been exceptional in providing mums care and mum came to love each and every one of the staff. Nothing is too
much effort and I would not hesitate to recommend Five Gables to anyone in the future. Mum passed away this week in happy surroundings and my family and I are sincerely grateful to everyone for everything they did.
Thank you xxx

The Five Gables is a wonderful place. The staff are warm and friendly and provide excellent care. Nothing is too much trouble and they will go the extra mile to ensure needs are met. There is a range of activities provided and Mum loves to go out on visits to the local area. It makes such a difference
to our family, knowing that Mum is so well looked after.

The compassion and patience shown to my father are endless. His needs are complex, yet it's never too much for any of his carers; they go above and beyond with all they do for him. Taking the time to feed him and cater to what he's able to eat, shows the level of care offered to residents.

My dad moved into Five Gables three weeks ago following a Hospital stay. I can honestly say he is receiving first class care. Yes the building not being purpose built isn't perfect but it very manageable, friendly, inviting and you feel like you are entering your relatives home. The staff are good at
communicating any issues to family, patient, attentive, kind, friendly and dedicated. My dad is even being took for a pint this week, how fantastic is that! My dad hasn't looked this well in a long time, due to stimulation and constant quality care. Thanks a million.

My dad came in for respite while mum recovered from knee surgery as she is his main carer at home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.910)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.910) out of 10 for Five Gables is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.910 for Five Gables is calculated as follows: ( (336 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 368 Ratings = 4.91
  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 Five Gables is based on 31 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2, which has been reached with 31 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.
