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.

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.

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.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5

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.

Current Review Score: 8.2 (8.238)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.2 (8.238) out of 10 for The Gables Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 1 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.2 out of 5 from 1 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 5.000 for The Gables Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (12 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 12 Ratings = 5

  • b) 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 3.238 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Gables Care Home is based on 1 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 = 3

    • ii) 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 21 registered maximum number of service users is 4.2. 1 Positive Reviews ÷ 4.2 = 0.238

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
