Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Since the new manager has been working at Gorseway in the last few months you certainly see a marked improvement in the running of the home. The atmosphere feels much better amongst the staff, but it would be good to see more permanent staff, than using agency workers. When you arrive in reception you
are always welcomed by the lovely receptionist. My friend always looks clean, comfortable and well looked after. Her meals are always hot and fed to her with care and attention. Iw ould be happy to recommend Gorseway Care. Also, the nurses are always happy to discuss any queries you may have. Also, they contact me at home if they think necessary.
Reply from Rebecca Jarvis, General Manager at Gorseway Park Retirement Village

Thank you for your lovely review. I would like to reassure you we have recently been recruiting for good quality staff and currently, we have new Care staff who are going through their induction process in readiness to start with us in the coming weeks.

My Aunt always appears to be relaxed in her room. The room is clean and tidy. My Aunt always appears clean and well cared for and reports to me that the staff are all nice. I have always been able to speak to the staff easily and have found them to be very friendly and appear to know my Aunt and
understand her very well. My Aunt does not eat much but this is her own choice.

Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The full time staff are very helpful and caring, however when agency staff are used, they are not aware of the history of the particular resident, and not as caring, can be abrupt. There also appears to be not a very good handover from agency staff and when staff return from leave. Also when the staff
have a strong foreign accent, the older age people this can cause a problem with communication.
Reply from Rebecca Jarvis, General Manager at Gorseway Park Retirement Village

As a new manager in post, I am currently on a recruitment drive to ensure that we at Gorseway Lodge have a buoyant and steady staff team. Please note that due to the stringent checks that care staff are subject to - interview to employment can take a little time. I am sorry that you feel that an agency member of staff was abrupt. In the future please inform me immediately and they will be asked to answer for their rudeness. This is also fed back to the agency.

Review from Rita D (Wife of Resident) published on 19 July 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband went to Gorseway 8 years ago and I have to say the care and attention he is getting has improved immensely since Barchester care took over the Gorseway. The staff are all very good. The leisure and entertainment department and the young lady in care also very good. Of course there are times
when I have to mention something is not as it should be, but it is always put right and the problem is solved. So I am very happy to have my husband being cared for at Gorseway Hayling Island.

My grandmother received wonderful care at the Lodge by the lovely staff at Gorseway. It made a difficult time for her family easier, to see her treated so respectfully and with such dignity. I would recommend the Lodge to anyone looking for a loving and caring home.

I would like to start by thanking all the wonderful staff at the Lodge who looked after my mother during the last week of her life. Not only was she treated with kindness, dignity, care and respect, we her family were also shown the same consideration. Nothing was ever too much trouble. I would not
hesitate to recommend the Lodge to anyone looking for nursing care for a relative. All the staff gave care which went far beyond their duty. Thank you.

The staff at Gorseway Lodge are amazing people, we could not have asked for better care for our Mother. She was treated with kindness, respect and dignity by everyone - the nursing staff, carers, domestic staff and the managers. Our family were made to feel welcome at all times and they were as concerned
for our welfare as hers. We felt that our mum was the only person they had to think about. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have a very pleasant, comfortable room, and am very well looked after by excellent staff.
The recent (last two years) management upheaval causes me a level of uncertainty and worry. The meals are repetitious and the preparation can be unimaginative. If the management could be stabilised and the cuisine
improved, this could be the ideal care home.
Reply from Rebecca Jarvis, General Manager at Gorseway Park Retirement Village

Thank you for your review. As the new manager in post I am able to bring stability to the home and a consistency that you have not felt in the last 2 years. In terms of the cuisine here I thank you for your feedback and can now start to focus on improving and adding variety to the menu, consultation with the people who live here will be key to this process.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for Gorseway Park Retirement Village is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.688 for Gorseway Park Retirement Village is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (72 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 340 Ratings = 4.688
  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 Gorseway Park Retirement Village is based on 29 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
