After visiting several of the larger care homes, my sister and I were convinced that we would never place our mum in one. However, when her dementia began to worsen, we decided to look at some smaller homes instead.
Gleavewood was recommended to us by a friend who is a local GP. As soon as we visited, we knew immediately that it was the right place for Mum. Because it is much smaller, each resident is treated as an individual rather than just another number.
Our mum is thriving there, and that is entirely thanks to the wonderful staff. Their care, compassion, and dedication are evident every day, and the fact that many of them have been there for years speaks volumes about the home. We are incredibly grateful for everything they do.
Thank you so much for your lovely words. We love having your mum here and are so pleased to see her thriving. It is a privilege to care for her, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us.
I have been a resident at Gleavewood since January 2025 and during that time all of the staff have looked after me with respect and care. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My room is cleaned daily and my washing is done as required. The choice of food is good and my teacup is regularly...
All my personal health issues are looked after by all of the staff without any complaints. I am thoroughly enjoying my time at Gleavewood and I feel completely relaxed and at home.
A big thank you to all.

As always when entering the building I am always met by helpful and pleasant staff. I have never had any negative feelings about anyone. The atmosphere is also so pleasesnt around all staff and patients. My friend wants for nothing from facilities to the food available in the restaurant to room service. The carers are excellent with everyone. This is the carehome that I would love to be able to go to when my position changes. I cannot prase Gleavewood care home enough. My friend is totally comfortable and more importantly feels very safe within the home. It makes me very happy that he feels secure and settled.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such kind feedback. We know how important visiting friends and family are to our resident's well-being, and we always want you to feel warmly welcomed. I will pass your lovely words along to the team. We look forward to seeing you on your next visit.

It has a family feel to the place and I'm so happy for the care given to my Dad so far. It's never an easy task placing a loved one in a care home but from the moment I stepped into Gleavewood it put my mind at ease

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...
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.
Thank you for the kind words on your experience of your mum moving to Gleavewood, we will share your feedback with the team.

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 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.
Thank you for your feedback, which we will share this with the team.

My uncle has been in the home for about 3 months after slowly getting worse living with dementia. It's been a difficult time for all involved but he's happy and he's getting the best care possible. Thank you to the staff who are all lovely.
