My mum is going to be 100 this year in October, and she moved into Gleavewood just before her 98th birthday. We truly believe moving to Gleavewood has given my mum a new lease of life. Even though we looked after her at home, nothing can compare to the care and attention she gets at Gleavewood, which
makes it such a pleasure to see as a family, knowing a loved one is taken care of so well.

All the staff work so hard to make sure residents are well looked after, and I'm so happy that we managed to get a place for Mum there.

The many times we have visited Gleavewood in the last 12 months we have found the staff very helpful to us if we need to talk to them over anything. As for the person we come to see, there is nothing more they can do. The person is very happy there, very clean and tidy room. The person does not need
anything more than they have done for them.

My mother has been a resident in Gleavewood Care Home now for approximately 12 months. I have found the management/office staff to be excellent, nothing is too much trouble. Any request is dealt with promptly and the home is very well run.
The staff are cheerful, very hard working and try to make the
residents happy by finding a few minutes to chat whilst carrying out their duties.
My mum, 94, has benefitted greatly from being in this home's care, she is safe, happy and content. We don't worry knowing she is safe. I would like to say thank you.

When my mother first arrived at Gleavewood, she was treated with the greatest respect, and the staff did their utmost to help her settle in and to be as comfortable as possible. The same still applies 18 months on. There is a high standard of cleanliness, and the activities keep her occupied. The staff
are courteous and friendly towards me and are always willing to listen and communicate with me whenever necessary. I am extremely grateful for their dedication to their work.

My sisters and I have always felt confident that our dear mother is well cared for and even loved by the staff at Gleavewood. She's always been treated with dignity. It gives us peace of mind. We feel that, under the current management, it is well run as the manager was there when Mum decided for herself
to move in, we always trust her judgement.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has lived at Gleavewood for the past three years. In that time she has thrived on the care that she receives 24/7 from the dedicated staff who all care for her like family.
With freshly prepared, home-cooked meals every day we know that Mum is eating wholesome, nutritious and healthy food for
every meal.
With the proactive approach of all members of staff, our mum gets the best of care regarding GP, podiatrist, hairdresser and even has her nails painted by members of staff.
The weekly bingo sessions are always popular and prior to the pandemic entertainers were a regular feature, let’s hope that that can continue in the near future.
When visiting Mum we are treated with the utmost courtesy and nothing is too much trouble be it in person or by phone.
As a family, we are so grateful to have our mum residing at Gleavewood.

Review from Ian B (Son of Resident) published on 23 September 2019 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mum became a resident here her quality of life has improved overwhelmingly, living on her own in a flat was becoming extremely difficult after a couple of serious health issues.
As her only son, it was difficult for me and my wife to take proper care of her due to our full-time jobs and unsociable
working hours. She now receives quality, round the clock care from a team of dedicated carers, has access to nursing and medical care should she need it and eats proper fresh cooked meals which all have added to her quality of life.
She has a great rapport with the staff and has a great relationship with all of them. It has put our minds at ease knowing mum is getting looked after properly, 24 hours a day, seven days a week at a time in her life when she needs it most
We can't thank the staff enough for all they do for her.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since our Mother became a resident at Gleavewood we as a family have been extremely impressed with the level of care that she has received. The staff at the home quickly became familiar with her care needs and cognition, and have ensured that her personal care is of the highest level. Our mother's nutrition
and mobility have greatly improved since she joined the home, due in no small part to the efforts of the care staff and management. Communication with the family has been second to none, and when visiting our Mother or enquiring after her by telephone we have always been greeted with warmth and courtesy. The feeling of myself and my family is that she has been extremely lucky to have become a resident at Gleavewood, and we are extremely grateful for everything that the staff provide for her every day.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have visited my father again today and as usual, found the home to be friendly and welcoming. The staff are lovely and genuinely interested in my father and his story. They are attentive and caring and constantly check on residents in their rooms or day room. I know my dad feels safe and cared for
at the home. He is offered plenty of warm or cold drinks throughout the day and the food is homecooked and varied. If he does not want his tea, he does not go hungry as supper is always offered and available.
If I need to speak to a member of staff, either caring or office staff, they are on hand and my questions answered and my dad's needs met. There are varied activities planned which residents are actively encouraged to join in with. A monthly newsletter is produced which is informative for both residents and visitors. The home is lovely and clean. It is not easy moving a family member into permanent residential care but Gleavewood makes the transition easier and smoother. Well done all.

Mam was taken ill very rapidly she was in a trance-like state from the Tuesday to Thursday night. The care and love they gave her were marvellous. They are brilliant. I can't put into words how grateful I was and am for what they did. The boss of your company should come down to and thank them. I will
pass on to others.

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.
