My mum-in-law went to 5 Gables for respite and then end-of-life care. They looked after mum very well with respect and dignity. All the staff were professional caring and friendly to all our family. We would highly recommend this care home to others.

Absolutely fantastic. My mum has settled very well and is so much happier now. The staff are welcoming and keep me up to date on how my mum is doing day to day, even sending me photos of her, which puts my mind at ease. Five Gables is a home from home and I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My Father has been a resident at Five Gables since April last year and has throughout this time received excellent care. Over the last few weeks, Dad has had to spend several short periods in hospital, but has always been keen to return to Five Gables which he has seen as his home, and the carers and
residents his extended family. Very sadly, Dad passed away on Monday at Five Gables. I want to praise again, both management and carers at the home for their unwavering high level of care and attention to Dad's needs. Not only that, I was welcomed to stay with Dad for the final week, and my wife and I were able to be present at the end, with the carers not far away, but still providing exactly the right level of privacy for us whilst continuing to meet Dad's needs. Whilst this situation wasn't uppermost in our minds when we chose Five Gables, my experience of the non-nursing-care appropriate at the end of life provided by the Five Gables Team was excellent.

My Dad stayed here for 2 weeks respite in April and the care was absolutely excellent. All the staff are so friendly and the food is fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble for them, not only did they look after my dad but the compassion for my mum when she came to visit was superb. I would definitely
recommend Five Gables to anyone looking for a care home for their relatives. Well done to all the team. Thank you.

Mum has been a resident at Five Gables for 4 months now and we know she is safe, happy and well looked after. All the staff are professional, friendly and caring. Five Gables is small and comfortable where resident's individual needs are met. Food is good and all diets are catered for. I would certainly
recommend Five Gables.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident at Five Gables Care Home for 14 months now, and is very happy and well cared for. The staff are friendly, warm, and very skilled. They work hard but are always available to respond to the residents' needs. They also provide very good feedback regarding Dad's well-being.
Dad first arrived after suffering a severe stroke and needed quite specialist care, which the staff were able to provide very professionally, whilst always showing compassion and kindness. Dad gets on very well with his carers, he trusts them and feels safe. The management team are very easy to approach and always willing to discuss Dad's care. There working atmosphere in the home is excellent. We are very grateful to all the staff at Five Gables for the support they have given to our family. Five Gables is a small, comfortable and very welcoming home. There is always a calm, orderly atmosphere and the residents have space to socialise with nice activities included. Dad's room is lovely.

Review from Collette D (Mother of Resident) published on 6 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum as been there for over 8 years. She's got dementia. She didn't want to go in a care home and it was very hard going against her wishes but it was the best thing we did for her. They look after her very well. She's happy, she's safe, she's clean and she gets medication, all the things she was
not getting when living at home as she would refuse any help. The staff are fantastic, they meet all of Mum's needs and do more for her health. They go above and beyond for her, they are very welcoming and keep us updated. I would highly recommend the care home, I cannot praise them enough. My mum was a mess when she went to the care home and if it wasn't for their care and support, we wouldn't have our mum here anymore.

Five Gables is a small, comfortable and welcoming care home with a pleasant interior surrounded by a pretty garden area. The room my mum stayed in was always warm and cosy and we were able to fill it with her own photos and small pieces of furniture. We always felt that she was comfortable, well looked
after and, most importantly, safe. The hard-working staff were friendly, caring and particularly sensitive and professional during the final months of Mum's life, for which the family were very grateful.

I have found the staff to be competent, friendly and obliging. My mother has been in residence for nearly three years and is very happy and well looked after. They managed all the difficulties that they were presented with throughout the Covid crisis very well. I clearly only have limited experience
with care homes in general but have been very happy with my experiences with Five Gables to date.

The care for my grandad here was brilliant. The place was like home from home, so this was a bonus as he settled there straight away. All the carers are very friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend Five Gables for your loved ones.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was a resident of Five Gables for two years up to March 2023, when she sadly passed.
In all the time she was there, I never heard her make a serious complaint. Just an occasional whinge if she got mashed potato on her plate.
I found the staff always kind and helpful even through Covid and more
so after she had her stroke. Nothing was too much trouble, even with the extra work that was needed to look after her.

Review from Jayne M (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Five Gables warmly welcomed Mum as a new resident and her needs were well understood and consistently met from the start. We felt she was totally safe there. The care and compassion and the warmth of the staff were excellent from start to finish. The low staff turnover demonstrates how well Five Gables
is managed and run. This helped us to have good communication and build trusting relationships with staff including consistent feedback on the care Mum received. Whilst it is not the most modern-looking facility, it has lovely rooms and grounds; is always clean, and is home from home which makes people feel like they’re in their own surroundings. Mum always felt at home there. Compassion and kindness were all around us and all the staff were wonderful with their words and support for us especially in very difficult times. We will be forever grateful and would highly recommend Five Gables as a wonderfully warm place to care for your loved ones when that time comes.

Since my dad became unwell and lost his mobility, he thankfully had to move into Five Gables, and thankfully, he did, as this place is above and beyond for patient care and well-being.
I would personally like to thank all the staff that go above and beyond for my dad all day, every day.
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.913)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.913) 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 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.913 for Five Gables is calculated as follows: ( (273 Excellents x 5) + (24 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 298 Ratings = 4.913
  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 25 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 16 registered maximum number of service users is 3.2, which has been reached with 25 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.
