My mum has been at Green Pastures for just over a year now. Every day I am so grateful for being able to find my mum a place here. All the staff are incredible, kind, caring. Staff always make a point of smiling and saying hello. My mum is cared for so well. The rooms are immaculate. Mum loves having
her hair done and is always dressed well. The food is excellent, with lovely cakes for guests too! Great management by people who really care. Thank you so much.

My husband first came to Green Pastures in February this year. It was a really hard decision to make but one of the best my daughter and I ever made. He has settled so well and every member of staff has treated him (and us) with such care and kindness. The food is excellent and a check is kept on what
each resident has to make sure they are getting the right amount of nutrients and drinks they need. We have no complaints of any kind.

As the days, weeks and months go by whilst visiting Mum at Green Pastures, I know our family have become even more reassured of our choice and duties in finding Mum a wonderful and professional-run place to take good care of her. On entering Green Pastures Christian Nursing Home, we are always greeted
with some kind of entertainment or activity put on by the staff. Highly recommended.

My wife has been a resident at Green Pastures Christian Nursing Home for three and a half years. Occasional cause for complaint but overall care given is very good. Sometimes I feel that my wife should be given help in eating her lunch, which is often left to get cold and mostly uneaten.

Review from Michael R (Husband of Resident) published on 12 April 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We (I speak for the family) are pleased with Green Pastures Christian Nursing Home. Our appreciation is not unmixed - nobody is perfect - but we think you are doing the job well on the whole. Most of the staff are excellent and none are less than good at their jobs. Our major complaint is about access:
our lives beyond Green Pastures mean that some of us have to make visits in the early evening. Getting in at that time is not a problem, but getting out an hour or so later is. Many staff (particularly those in reception) have gone off duty and there is no one to open the outer door. We realise that, situated as it is next to a bus route, it is imperative that residents must not put themselves in danger by wandering out of the building but cannot some method be found so that visitors are not kept hanging about reception trying to attract some attention?
Reply from Emma Murdoch at Green Pastures Christian Nursing HomeThank you for your comments, we appreciate all feedback to allow us to provide the best service possible for our residents and their families. To leave the floor you are visiting, you will need a member of staff to open the exit door. This member of staff should then walk you down and open the outside door. I have mentioned this to all the staff. I do hope this resolves the problems you are having, however, please contact me by phone or speak to the nurse on duty if this continues. We are very sorry for any inconvenience or distress caused by this issue.

This care home is amazing, the staff are all so caring and patient. Food is comparable to a good hotel. Always clean and never smells. Activities are good as is the house dog, Koda.
Reply from Emma Murdoch, Management Administrator at Green Pastures Christian Nursing HomeWe are all extremely privileged to have such amazing staff keeping the home full of happiness and giving such great care. The housekeepers are amazing and having our in-house laundry/housekeeping team is great.
We are so happy to have our in-house chefs and their team producing amazing cakes and food. The home dog Koda really does bring so much joy to our residents. There is never a dull day with our activities. We love welcoming you and your family.

Green Pastures is an excellent nursing home. My dad receives the highest standard of care. He is well looked after by all the staff who treat him with professionalism, care and dignity. Cleanliness is outstanding. Each resident is treated as an individual. The menu provided is excellent and of a high
standard. A wide range of stimulating activities is provided. Communication with the home is excellent - particularly in respect of all the recent lockdowns. Nothing is too much trouble for any of the staff - I know that my dad is safe and happy. Green Pastures is a well-managed nursing home and is a real home from home.

Green Pastures should be the blueprint for all nursing and care homes. The care and compassion are exceptional. They treat the residents with respect, kindness and care for their every need. Having viewed a number of care homes and seen some appalling care homes, it was a huge relief to find Green Pastures.

Overall Experience 2.0 out of 5
Mum has not been cared for well in recent months and has suffered during the lockdown. Some of her possessions have been 'lost' but no one in the organisation seems to notice in a timely manner so they are now 'lost' forever. It is only when I mention something that anything gets done which of course
is very difficult when visiting is as restricted as it is. There seems to be poor oversight of the staff and staff standards are on the scale of 'make do' rather than 'the best that can be done'.
Reply from Richard Bloomer, Home Manager at Green Pastures Christian Nursing HomeThank you for your comments, we appreciate all feedback to allow us to provide the best service possible for our residents. We have been made aware of this issue and have actively responded; we have some new procedures in place to ensure this doesn’t happen going forward. We always aim to deliver a high standard of care, when relatives feel let down by our services, we too feel that we have failed and need to improve. We take all complaints very seriously; we can be contacted by phone or email if you are unhappy with anything. We are very sorry for any distress caused by this issue.
Kind Regards,
Rick Bloomer

My sister has been a resident of Green Pastures for almost 3 years. Her complex needs are professionally managed with Christian love and friendliness. Friendship is in abundance from the management, the nursing staff, the reception staff, the helpers, the kitchen team, the laundry and the hairdresser.
During these difficult times I have been assured of her well-being and any queries I have are met with patience and professionalism.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.940)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.940) out of 10 for Green Pastures Christian 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 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 41 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 4.940 for Green Pastures Christian Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (454 Excellents x 5) + (25 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 481 Ratings = 4.94
  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 Green Pastures Christian Nursing Home is based on 41 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 41 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.
