Overall Experience

My dad lives in The Gables and he seems happy and looked after very well by the staff there. They are very caring toward him and he gets on well with them. I can visit any time I like to and they are very friendly and welcoming. They keep me updated and informed about my dad and they answer any questions

I may have.

Overall Experience

I came in here a very poorly lady and the home and ladies that work here have brought me back to life and the person I was 2 years ago. I would recommend the home to anyone.

Review from Barbara M (Friend of Resident) published on 21 March 2018 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

A family friend has been a resident at The Gables for 8 years now and is aged 103 years. She has always been treated with the greatest respect and care. All the staff are consistently friendly and most having been there a long time.
Only negative observation is the old building is not really suitable

for a care home.

Review from Peter J (Son of Resident) published on 11 December 2017 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Due to building constraints, some lounge seating allocations are in a busy thoroughfare used by staff, residents, and visitors. Here visiting residents can be a cramped arrangement and personal conversations can be difficult. When Mum moved into a larger room the increase in fees seemed out of proportion.

I found the staff to be friendly and informative, and very quick to be in touch when a GP visit, or appointment, was needed. When Mum's care needs increased and it was necessary to re-locate her I was concerned to be handed three unopened letters for her, two of which were almost a month old. I was disappointed, too, with the level of activity and engagement opportunities in the six months that she was resident at The Gables, as something is needed on at least a weekly basis. Meals seemed to be nutritious and adequate, and with flexible choices available to residents if, for example, a sandwich or baked potato was preferred to a dinner-style meal.
