Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I was impressed from my very first visit to The Gables Nursing Home. It has a homely feeling of a friendly seaside guest house. My mother is very well looked after here and all the staff are cheerful and take time to understand her. The day to day operation of Gables is excellent, the standards of cleanliness
and hygiene are first class and the meals served always look appetising and appropriately sized. Mother herself also looks well turned over, and her clothes are clean and well laundered. Well done and thanks!

Incredibly happy with the care that my uncle receives. He is always clean and well presented. Staff always keep the family updated on his wellbeing. Health Care Assistants are wonderful; friendly, caring and makes you feel like you are not asking for too much. You feel like it's home from home. Thank
you to everyone at The Gables.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father lived for two years at The Gables. He was not the easiest person to look after as, despite his advanced age and problems with dementia, he was still strong-minded and unable to accept he needed full-time care. However, the staff were patient, understanding and caring and gradually he settled
down. My family and I always felt very welcome when we visited and always ready for a chat when we were anxious about Dad. His final few days before he passed away were very difficult but we were met with sensitivity and compassion. Thank you everyone! A friendly, cosy, warm and welcoming home for your loved one.

On behalf of our family, I would like to say thank you to all the staff at The Gables. From the all-important cleaning staff, the nurses and chefs - thank you. My father passed away with dignity and the care given to him by all the staff was impeccable. My mother was also given a warm reception and
nothing was too much effort for the staff. Once again thank you for all your care and warmth and love.

Review from Denise C (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 September 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Approximately a year ago, after a very bad fall, my dad came to stay at The Gables. At that time, our family thought we would soon lose Dad as his health was very poor. Last September 2022, we celebrated his 90th birthday, even though he was too weak to realise.
Jump forward to this past year and my
wonderful Dad is happy, healthy and able to engage with us when myself and Mum come to visit.
Without the care and the immense kindness of the staff at The Gables, we truly believe we would have lost Dad last year. But he's heading for his 91st birthday now and Mum and Dad will be celebrating their 56th Wedding Anniversary next month. What a difference a year makes!
The Gables has given our family the gift of not losing my loving Dad and my Mum's devoted husband.
This has been a big adjustment for the whole family but seeing how marvellously well Dad is being cared for has helped so much and still having him with us speaks for itself.
We are so very grateful, thank you, you are all so wonderful.

Review from Laura P (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 23 August 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Fantastic nursing home I would highly recommend. The second we came to view The Gables when my grandad was put on an end-of-life pathway, we were met with such a warm and welcoming team. For the duration my grandad was in the nursing home, we felt like we were part of the family. We were so well looked
after, built up such a rapport with all of the team, and my grandad absolutely adored every member of the team there. They were incredibly caring, took the time to get to know my grandad and really went above and beyond in every aspect. Sadly my grandad died after 4 months however right up until his last moments, he was so beautifully cared for. The team were incredibly empathetic and have just been overall amazing from start to finish. Your relative is not just a number to them, they really do care about them and treat them like family which is exactly what you want when reaching the stage of needing a nursing home. Thank you so much to everyone at The Gables! You are all incredible!

I have had a short stay at The Gables after an operation. This is the first time I have ever stayed in a care home but I can honestly say I could not recommend the home highly enough. The staff are excellent, kind, caring and compassionate. I would be happy to stay here if I wasn't going home.

I quickly learnt that living in this environment would mostly be the best thing for me as I approached 90 years old. Kindly, good-humoured and attentive care, excellent and varied meals. Comfortable room. Fellow residents are on quiet side. Quite honestly I would not want to be anywhere else.

Your staff looked after my aunt with dignity and care for the short time she was with you before she died. We were all very happy with the attention and care we all received when visiting my aunt during her stay and after she passed away.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was admitted to The Gables in April 2020 suffering from Parkinson's and Dementia. Due to issues related to covid, I had no choice of place to care for my wife, but thankfully it has been 100 per cent satisfaction for both my wife and I. I have never been able to fault their overall operation
of the home and their TLC cannot be faulted. Sadly, my wife's condition has deteriorated to a point where she no longer knows people, can't speak and is wheelchair bound. The care and attention she receives from all the staff cannot be faulted.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My 103-year-old Aunt was admitted to The Gables on a temporary basis due to a fall in her bungalow. From the moment we entered the home, she was treated with kindness, respect and dignity. All of the staff were excellent but in particular, the two resident nurses were exceptional. They were always on
hand to reassure and support my aunt, which was essential as this was the first time she had not been in her own home. We always found her clean, dressed to impress and happy with her surroundings. The food provided was enjoyed by my aunt and to our relief, she has put weight on. Overall, we have no hesitation in recommending The Gables to other potential residents and the new manager is already making her mark. She took time out to speak with my aunt who very much enjoyed their conversations and is another example of how caring and dedicated the team at the Gables are.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.290)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.290) out of 10 for The Gables Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.4 out of 5 from 4 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 4.915 for The Gables Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (43 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 47 Ratings = 4.915
  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 4.375 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Gables Nursing Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 18 registered maximum number of service users is 3.6, which has been reached with 4 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.
