Review from Jayne D (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
As is the case for all families, placing your beloved Mum into the care of strangers is an extremely worrying experience. However, we quickly knew that Gleavewood is absolutely the right place for Mum; she has been shown such kindness and care since moving here in April 2025, and she can't speak highly
enough of the staff and what they do for her.
Mum enjoys the activities that are available to her during the week, and the food is really good with lots of variety. Everyone goes above and beyond to make sure she is happy and comfortable, and for that we are so grateful.
As Mum isn't very mobile at the moment, it has been lovely to be able to sit outside in the garden with her on sunny days.
From entering the building, you know immediately that this is a warm and happy place, and the staff really do care about the residents.
We can't recommend Gleavewood and the team here highly enough.

Thank you for your heartfelt words. We're so pleased to hear that your mum feels happy, cared for, and at home at Gleavewood. Your trust and appreciation mean a lot to us.

My mum moved into Gleavewood in March, which was an anxious time/change for us all, as mum is 98 years old and very independent. The management and staff have made mum's transition seamless, showing her care, compassion and understanding. Nothing is too much at Gleavewood who I can't thank enough as
the previous 4 months have been extremely stressful. I can finally sleep at night and rest knowing mum is being looked after with compassion and respect. Thank you so much for everything you have done and do for mum.

Following a fall that hospitalised my Dad, he was eventually moved to Gleavewood for respite care. He has been in Gleavewood for almost 6 weeks and the standard of care has been excellent which is helping Dad so much to get back to normal. It has taken a weight of our families mind knowing that he is
being cared for by pleasant, professional and helpful care staff. Thank you all very much.

I have always found the staff really helpful and always ready to find time to explain about any situations that may arise. All the staff are very professional in everything they do, and this give you reassurance that the residents are being well looked after. Gleavewood Care home itself always seems
clean and tidy and always seems to have a good atmosphere. I would highly recommend Gleavewood Care Home, it provides peace of mind that your loved one is being well looked after and cared for.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I chose Gleavewood for my sister because it is small, friendly and calm. 3 staff members in particular were down to earth and helpful. Move from CareHome on South Coast was a worry. We needed staff who understood and would cater to my Sister's particular needs. So far I am pleased. One member of staff
is very involved and deals with any problems. One thing, perhaps big TV could be tuned to suitable i.e Nature/Sport programmes.

My Mother and I moved from the south coast just before Christmas. Mum has Dementia so the move was something I faced with trepidation. The Staff have all been so kind and welcoming and made the transition as smooth as possible. All queries and issues are handled efficiently and nothing is too much trouble.
I cannot thank the team enough for helping to settle Mum into her new home.

Dad has been with them for a couple of weeks and they are just so so kind with him. The nurses are terribly patient, they've even got him smiling, not an easy task. I would thoroughly recommend Gleavewood, the nurse is outstanding with Dad. The place could do with a lick of paint, but never have I visited
a care home where they genuinely care about their clients and treat them in a friendly manner but are very professional.
10 out of 10 and if I could vote more I would.

My father has been based at Gleavewood for 3.5 months now. He has been made to feel at home. The staff have built a fantastic rapport with him and I'm truly grateful for this.

My mum moved into Gleavewood in August 2024 having lived in the same hour for 72 years. This was very upsetting for us all. However, everyone at Gleavewood made this trauma as painless as possible. The care my mum receives is 5-star. The staff cannot do enough for my mum and she has settled really well.

Mum went into Gleavewood after living independently, unfortunately, she lost her independence and needed 24-hour care. Gleavewood has been marvellous, very compassionate and caring. We are delighted at how she has settled, nothing is too much trouble for the staff at what was an extremely difficult
time for me and my sister.

Always a warm and homely welcome when we visit. The standard of care is excellent and everyone is always chatting and engaging with the residents. A nice atmosphere with always something to watch or listen to and everyone seems to acknowledge all the residents and say hello when passing by. We know
our mum enjoys the food and she has just what she likes and needs, the staff understand the different needs and where they can cater for them. The attention to her cleanliness and appearance and helping her to dress is fantastic. Just the small things like knowing her favourite pyjamas, that can really make a big difference. Thank you!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.837)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.837) out of 10 for Gleavewood 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.837 for Gleavewood is calculated as follows: ( (321 Excellents x 5) + (56 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 380 Ratings = 4.837
  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 Gleavewood is based on 33 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 33 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.
