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?

Thank 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.
I have been very pleased with the care given to my aunt. I think it is a lovely home and all the staff seem very kind.

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.

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.

Outstanding physical and emotional care and facilities. An energetic, positive, can-do and friendly culture.

Thank you for your great feedback, it's always gratifying to hear that all the hard work we put in at Green Pastures can be so appreciated. I will pass this on to our staff who will be delighted. We look forward to seeing you soon.
The best thing I did for my father was to move him into Green Pastures, he has been treated extremely well, the staff are all so caring and considerate. They took the time to get to know my father and make his last month's happy ones, an amazing team indeed.

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'.

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.

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.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are proud of our Christian ethos which extends compassion and care to all residents regardless of their religious beliefs.
My Mum has now been at Green Pastures for just over two years and I can still comment that this is a beautiful home for my Mum.

My Mum has now been at Green Pastures for just over two years and I can still comment that this is a beautiful home for my Mum. I can't thank the carers enough for how well they look after her, they are all so caring. Every time I visit, they make you very welcome. With such difficult times, I am always kept updated on how she is and also had a few visits to see for myself.
Thank you for taking the time to review us and recognising our care and communication at this time.

Mum moved into Green Pastures in early December 2020 after falling for the second time in the night, initially for respite, but we quickly decided that this is where she now needs to be. For Mum it has been a difficult time adapting to a new environment with no time to prepare for the move, but she is now settling in and it is a huge relief to know that she is being cared for 24 hours a day. I have been very impressed by the responsiveness of all the staff to any concerns (mine or hers) at such a difficult time (3rd lockdown). All possible precautions are being taken to keep the residents safe, which of course means that visiting is limited and only possible after a swab test. Staff too are swabbed daily. Between visits I have been able to see Mum through her window and we (my brothers and I) are able to speak to her by Skype. All praise and grateful thanks to the staff for everything they are doing.
Thank you for taking the time to provide a review. It has been an incredibly difficult time for families and residents who have needed to come into care homes and I am pleased to read that we have helped you all through this process.

Green Pastures is the most fantastic care home and I just can’t recommend it enough! My mother (who lives with dementia) went to live there last April right in the middle of the first lockdown. The staff have all been amazing right from day one. It was a very stressful time for her and all our family, but with the love and support of all the nurses and carers she has settled well into her new home. It is really hard not being able to visit but I receive regular updates via email and phone calls and even photos showing her enjoying various activities. The reception and office staff are also very friendly and professional and are always very helpful whenever I phone. I feel that she is in the best and safest place that she could be!
Thank you for your amazing review recognising the team's efforts to keep our families in touch with their loved ones and the support we give to our residents.

My dad has Alzheimer's and has been a resident of Green Pastures since June 2018. Moving him to a care home was a necessity but it was still a very difficult and emotional decision to make. The staff have developed a good relationship with him and are professional and compassionate in their approach. Nothing is too much trouble and the atmosphere in the home is relaxed and friendly. While visiting is restricted due to Covid-19, staff are happy to communicate by email and phone with updates as required. Green Pastures has coped admirably with the huge challenges of Covid-19 and has continued to offer its usual high standard of care.
Thank you for your lovely review. We understand how important it is to maintain communication with our families especially during the challenging situation we all find ourselves in.
I consider that the home and staff have been outstanding during this very challenging time. They have kept me informed of the well-being of the resident and continued with their excellent care of her. The informative emails keep me updated with the situation at the home in general.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home. It really lifts the staff to hear that our families think we are doing a good job during what has been a very challenging time.
My mum has been in Green Pastures for over 5 1/2 years. In that time the staff have been wonderful both to her and to our family. Before Covid changed the way I could visit, it was always such a pleasure to enter the building knowing that all staff would greet me with a smile and warm welcome. It...
Since the Covid pandemic began staff have continued with their high standard of care and have had to turn their hand to a few other skills, for example, hairdressers and entertainers, but they don't mind going the extra mile. The manager has kept us fully informed about the latest news and arrangements for visits and has persevered with pages of government guidelines. It is always a pleasure to reward their efforts with some sweet treats because they deserve it.
Thank you for taking the time to review us. It means so much to the team to know that our families trust us to care for our residents, especially during the pandemic and the restrictions it has brought.
This marks the end of my husband's first 12 months in the home. He has extreme needs. He is checked at intervals throughout the night; this has enabled the staff to detect significant events to which they have responded very efficiently. Since he can't watch TV or join many of the standard...
Superimposed on all this is the current preoccupation with Covid-19 - a challenge the care home has met with efficiency, both within the building and in their liaison with family members isolated at home.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review the home.
Green Pastures has provided a wonderful caring environment for my mother who is suffering from dementia. During lockdown, I have received regular updates telling me about how she is getting on. Yesterday I was allowed to visit for the first time since March (under strict conditions). I noticed...
I have already recommended this home to a friend whose mother-in-law is suffering from dementia but at the moment the family are trying to continue looking after her in her own home.
Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review. As a team, we are very aware of how hard it has been for relatives who have not had the chance to look around the home before their resident arrives. We hope that with good communication and now the opportunity for restricted visits that the situation will feel easier for all.
After a hospital stay, for pneumonia, my father who is immobile with Parkinson’s and has Dementia who needs such a level of nursing care, that caring for him at home was no longer an option. As a very close family, this was an extremely difficult outcome for us, but from the outset, the atmosphere...
Not being able to visit as a result of the pandemic has been heartbreaking, but we have complete confidence in the staff who treat Dad with such respect, love and have worked so hard to enable us to keep in contact with him during this dreadful period. We could not have found a better home for Dad and are enormously grateful to the staff.
Thank you for your lovely review - I am so pleased to know that we have helped your family through this difficult time.
Mum, who is now 97, has been at Green Pastures for over 18-months and the family could have not asked for better care. She is not from the area (but we have lived locally for over 30-years) but was immediately made to feel 'at home'. Unfortunately, due to the progression of her dementia, she has...
Mum, who is now 97, has been at Green Pastures for over 18-months and the family could have not asked for better care. She is not from the area (but we have lived locally for over 30-years) but was immediately made to feel 'at home'. Unfortunately, due to the progression of her dementia, she has required additional care, but this has been given unwaveringly with every attention to her needs. During the current unprecedented times, the staff and management have kept in constant touch, offering phone calls and Skype sessions. The hard work and commitment to make the home a safe and Covid free environment has been truly wonderful. I would highly recommend Green Pastures to any family considering a care home.
Thank you for your lovely review and recommendation.

My Dad moved in three weeks after my Mum suddenly died. He has been suffering from Alzheimer’s, and mum was his carer. It was a difficult time for my sister and me, but the whole staff made the transition calm for him and us. The atmosphere when we visit is happy, calm and efficient. The staff were so friendly and helpful, we knew straight away we had chosen the correct place for our Dad. The staff are all great and can’t do enough for him and us. During the present time with Covid-19, the staff have been more than brilliant. They keep in touch with us as well as care for the residents in a loving way. The staff are all approachable and interested in the residents. I highly recommend Green Pastures to anyone looking for a care home.
Thank you for your kind review. It is really good to hear that we made a difficult time for you a bit easier when your father moved in and also that during the COVID outbreak you feel well-informed about what's going on at the home.
