My brother was placed in Gleavewood for a period of respite having suffered a stroke. The care he received was excellent.
The home has a very friendly atmosphere, all the staff are cheerful, kind and helpful and the manager was exceptionally understanding and supportive of his needs. Thank you.

I visit the care home quite regularly to visit my auntie. I always feel welcome and there is a lovely atmosphere throughout the home. My auntie has settled in well and is very happy it feels like home for her and like a family. Well done to all the staff for making this home special! The home is clean,
tidy and welcoming.

The staff are lovely warm and welcoming at Gleavewood, the residents look so comfortable and happy. Some were knitting and having tea and biscuits when I visited.
The food that I saw being prepared looked delicious too.
The building inside looks clean and safe.

As soon as you walk through the door, you can feel the warmth, love and caring that is Gleavewood. My mum first came on respite, but actually asked to stay permanently. The staff are amazing, nothing is too much trouble. The meals are wonderful and the home is spotless. Mum always thought of it as her
home and she was so happy and content there, I loved visiting her there, everyone was so welcoming, and I always knew Mum was happy and well looked after, sadly Mum had to move on due to needing nursing care, but we both miss the home very much.
Reply from Julie Gerrard, Home Manager at GleavewoodThank you kindly for the positive feedback, your mum is a lovely lady and it was a pleasure to look after her, she is very much missed by everyone. We will share your feedback with the team and thanks again for taking the time to share your views and experience of the home. We wish your mum all the best for the future.

When it was decided by my mum that she wanted to go into respite she was taken into Gleavewood and was going to stay for 2 weeks to see if she liked it with a view to her living there permanently. It only took 2 days for her to decide she wanted to stay.
What a gem of a place this is. The manager and
staff are truly amazing, they take very good care of my mum, she has a lovely room which is always clean and tidy, the whole home is spotless.
They have entertainment and activities which Mum really enjoys, and the meals they provide are outstanding. You can visit any time you like which is great for me. Can honestly say wouldn't want my mum to be anywhere else.

Our friend, a resident of Gleavewood care home since July 2023 has received excellent care. The staff are friendly and welcoming and go to great lengths to ensure her every comfort. The home is consistently clean and fresh and her room is always well-kept. Laundry is collected promptly and returned
beautifully ironed the same day. She enjoys the food and is well-settled and happy there. Happy to recommend Gleavewood.

The home is a very friendly environment, with all the carers and staff coming across as very approachable and helpful.
My mum has settled in the home very quickly and I feel she is very safe and well cared for.
The home appears to be well organised with all staff efficient in their respective roles.
There
are also regular activities being carried out for the residents to take part in should they choose to do so.
My initial impressions are that the home is very clean and well-maintained with all the expected safety features installed or available.

The staff are friendly and professional and most importantly kind. My relative originally came to Gleavewood for respite care and stayed to become resident until the end of her life. She was treated with dignity and respect and became fond of the carers. Her care was adapted as my relative’s needs changed
and her wishes were consulted and taken into account. I was able to phone and receive updates on my relative’s health and well-being which was reassuring for me as I live a long way from Gleavewood.
Reply from Julie Gerrard, Home Manager at GleavewoodThank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we are pleased you were reassured that your relative received care that was responsive to her needs during her time at the home, your relative is greatly missed by the team.

My family searched for the right 24-hour care for me and here, at Gleavewood, found the most perfect home. I settled right away and am so happy and very thankful to be here! All the staff are so dedicated to meet the residents' needs and do their very best for us at all times. They work as a team -
plenty of smiling faces with, of course, a sense of humour.
My faith in God has also helped me to overcome some hurdles in order for me to come here!

My experience at the Gleavewood has nothing but admiration in my heart.
Helping me through severe grief and the effects of sepsis, I couldn't have been in a better place. The amount of love and care I received made me want to live again. The care, domestic, management and staff are the best!

What makes Gleavewood so special are the managers and staff. Mum wasn’t here for a long stay but from the day she moved in she was made to feel welcome and cared for. You know that everyone at Gleavewood is doing their very best. Thank you to three staff members for all you did for Mum and for taking
the time to talk to me. Thanks to all the staff too including the maintenance man who Mum had many laughs with. Mum didn’t make the rugby team!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) 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 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 36 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 4.843 for Gleavewood is calculated as follows: ( (352 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 414 Ratings = 4.843
  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 36 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 32 registered maximum number of service users is 6.4, which has been reached with 36 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.
