Mum stayed here for 5 months before moving to a nursing home.
The staff are caring, friendly and kind.
Mum regarded them as her family and was very happy throughout her stay.
We couldn't thank them enough for their care towards our mum.

My mum came to Greenways in May 2024. The family felt confident that Mum would receive the care she needed whilst being in a friendly and safe environment. As of November 2024, Mum has settled in really well, enjoying nourishing meals, activities and creating bonds with kind people outside of the family.
Her recent care plan highlighted the attention to detail taken in the care provided to her throughout the day and night. She is settled and happy, visits are welcome so we couldn't ask for more.

My dad was well looked after, the staff are very caring, keeping him clean and treated with dignity. My dad wasn't very mobile so didn't get too involved with the activities but the staff would encourage him, sing with him, joke and have lots of banter with him, he likes the staff very much. The rooms
are clean but some are dated.
The food was satisfactory but not spectacular. However, the main effort was the attentive nature the staff showed my dad was exceptional.

My stepdad moved into Greenways earlier this year and from the first moment, I went to view the home. I was immediately impressed by the atmosphere there. Always plenty of staff who actively engage with all the residents. Everyone is friendly and approachable, they work hard and are always smiling.
They genuinely appear happy in their work. I feel very confident in their knowledge and awareness of his needs and I'm always kept informed and updated of his welfare. He has settled really well and is happy.

Review from Maureen R (Cousin of Resident) published on 20 March 2024

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My cousin has been a resident at Greenways Rest Home for approximately two years due to advancing dementia which combined with other health and mobility problems made it impossible to continue looking after her in her own home. I cannot praise Greenways too highly. I am always struck by the kindness
and patience of the staff not only in their dealings with my cousin but also with other residents which I have observed when in the communal lounges etc. The management of any organisation sets the tone and the manager of Greenways and her senior team are incredibly warm, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Crucially they do not shut themselves away but are visible and accessible to their residents, to visitors and importantly to the rest of the staff. There is a friendly team spirit, a mutually supportive atmosphere which is crucial in such a physically and emotionally demanding job. I am very grateful that my cousin is in such a homely and caring environment.

Mum was at Greenways Rest Home for several years after it became impossible to care for her with Alzheimer's at home. Mum loved it there, the food was great, the staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. When we visited everyone was so friendly and provided excellent care.
Sadly, Mum died
at the home in April and the care they provided was second to none. You can really tell how much the staff care for the residents. They even attended Mum's funeral and were clearly upset about her passing.
I cannot thank all the staff, management, carers, chefs and domestic staff enough, you have been brilliant throughout Covid and beyond.
Absolutely amazing.

Following surgery and illness and at the age of 94, Mum was discharged from the hospital to Greenways for a period of assessment. She was found to require 24-hour care at a higher level and was sadly not able to return to her own home. Mum was cared for sensitively and diligently by the lovely team
at Greenways. Each and every member of staff that we saw were kind, caring and thoughtful in their care delivery, supported when needed by the district nurses. We were kept informed by the manager or senior carers and we were allowed to visit the home within Covid limitations. We found there to be a very caring ethos at Greenways and this was apparent in all the members that we saw during Mum's time with them. They were also very supportive of the family. This was particularly helpful around the period when Mum sadly passed away.

My 94-year-old mother was discharged from the hospital to Greenways Rest Home for assessment following a fall in her own home which resulted in a broken shaft of the femur. She remained mentally alert until her death. She suffered from a wide range of chronic conditions which she had battled with for
many years. The assessments showed that Greenways was well placed to meet her needs and I fully agreed. As her daughter, I was given all the information I asked for and was able to visit her with safe Covid practices. From the beginning of her stay, all the staff in the home cared for her with sensitivity and very able practical skills. Although she only lived for six weeks following her serious fall, she told me she was comfortable and confident that she was being well cared for. She continued to dream of returning to her own home at some point but she became increasingly comfortable with the excellent end of life care she received until she passed away peacefully.

My grandma has been at Greenways for a few months now and she has really settled in. The staff are so friendly and I can see my grandma as much as I like through the window and a visit with the restrictions. She always looks well cared for and she always says how nice the food is.

I am staying at Greenways for six weeks respite and the care was outstanding, and the food was lovely. The only thing is the home lacks a tuc-shop ad I have mentioned this to the manager who is very helpful, and he has assured me he is going to put one in place and thanked me for my input. Thank you
Greenways for your care and support.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.577)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.577) out of 10 for Greenways Rest Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.577 for Greenways Rest Home is calculated as follows: ( (89 Excellents x 5) + (46 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 142 Ratings = 4.577

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greenways Rest Home is based on 12 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 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 12 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
