Mum has been in the home since December 2024. To date I have found the care to be excellent. Mum is well looked after and all the staff are helpful and caring. There doesn't appear to be a high turnover of staff which means that the staff get to know the families too.

Gresham is a small lovely care home with a team of staff who really care about residents. It is safe and secure and clean and very well organised which helps with caring for residents with dementia and other health issues. They spend time trying to stimulate residents with various activities including
family and friends on occasions too. Really appreciate their work and commitment, and can't recommend them enough.

My mum attended here for Day Care. In the run up to this the staff were very helpful in answering any questions we had and showing us around without an appointment (which is always recommended).
Staff were wonderful with mum and treated her with the care and respect she deserved.
The home always
looked clean and tidy. They have some great ideas for the residents with dementia. The food looked superb too. All residents seemed happy.
I would give special thanks to two ladies as they were wonderful in helping me to arrange everything.

Review from T W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 3 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father-in-law was so settled at Gresham Lodge and he 'enjoyed' his respite stay. The staff are friendly and incredibly communicative dealing with all of our concerns and anxieties. The support and encouragement in getting him mobile again were very welcomed. Food was plentiful and my father-in-law
has gained a few needed pounds. The rooms are spacious and airy with private toilet facilities. It says a lot about retention when staff have been working in one place for many years and this definitely shows. He has left residential care for now, but as a family, we hope to have ongoing respite care in the future. Thank you so much to everyone!
Reply from Zuzanna Kubacka, Registered Manager/Business Support Manager at Gresham Lodge

Good afternoon, thank you so much for such a positive review of Gresham Lodge Care Home. I shall pass your kind words to all the Staff. It was a pleasure to look after your father-in-law and to work in partnership with you and your family to achieve better outcomes for your father-in-law.

Thank you so much for your kindness while I was staying at your home, everyone was so kind, helpful and friendly. I'm a vegetarian and that didn't cause a problem, they told me what was on the menu and we worked around that and sorted great - it has been lovely. I cannot fault anything at all. Thank
you so much.

My mum has been a resident at Gresham Lodge for a year now. As we don't live in the area, we were going to move her to a care home nearer to us, but after seeing how happy and settled she was and decided against it, a decision we have never regretted. The staff are always friendly and helpful and take
a personal interest in their residents. The home is in a good condition and is clean most of the time. The management is also very committed, which is an added bonus. We cannot thank the staff enough for looking after my mum. They have given us complete peace of mind, which is priceless. Thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
It is the best place ever and I am enjoying life in the best way I can. It is the staff that does it, they are so jolly, very caring, happy and always cheerful. Every one of them from the cleaner, cook, care staff, seniors and management. It is run like a tight ship. They are so very busy but have time
for me with a cheery word and a smile no matter how many times I ring my bell. I'm in palliative care/end of life and bedridden but when I'm poorly they're extra caring and keep their eye on me and pop in to see I'm alright. The staff liaise with my GP, district nurses, my family etc and update as necessary, keeping informed is so important not just for me but my family. It is a welcoming house. I'm safe, well cared for, fed and watered and forever grateful and couldn't wish for a better place to end my days.

Cannot fault the carers, they are extremely friendly and approachable. Unfortunately, they are always pushed to the limit. They need more staff, they cannot be expected to be in two places at once. Some areas of the home need attention - the kitchen needs updating, the shower room needs attention and
the hairdresser should not have to use this area.

The manager and carer have been fantastic with our mum since the death of our dad. We have been kept updated on all issues. Despite Mum wanting to go home, she looks happy most of the time and always say they are lovely. During visits, I have overheard one staff member be very short/sharp with another
resident who is clearly asking the same question. Food and drink I can't comment on as I haven't seen in person due to the restrictions.

The people who work for us are our most valuable asset; this is certainly the case at Gresham Lodge and is reflected in the standards of care and services provided by the team to both residents and visitors to this home. My own stay at Gresham Lodge was as a result of having to be non-weight bearing
for eight weeks following surgery to reconstruct my foot/ankle. At the time, I dearly wanted to be in my own home, however, this was not an option, and the staff helped me to adapt in a positive way to my new situation. Once my plaster cast has been removed, I will be embarking on the final stage of my road to recovery by spending some time at a rehabilitation facility. Part of me will be sad to leave Gresham Lodge. The staff work so well as a team that it would be unfair, and impossible, to single out any individuals as exceptional. They have helped me by encouraging me to embrace changes to my situation; they are now my friends, and I will never forget them and what they did for me.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Gresham Lodge 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.813 for Gresham Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (117 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 139 Ratings = 4.813
  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 Gresham Lodge 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:

    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 23 registered maximum number of service users is 4.6, which has been reached with 12 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.
