My friend Paul has been in this home for around 2 years, and I come to visit once a week and find the staff very friendly and helpful. My friend Paul is very happy staying here.
They have different activities to keep everyone happy and get them involved. They have a very difficult job to do and have the patience of a saint to do this job.
They treat everyone the same and show no favouritism towards residents.
Very happy with the service.
Since my mum came to the Gelbe House in June 2024, my mum has improved, and despite her dementia, I feel my mum is as well and as best as she can be. This is down to the staff at Glebe House, who have cared for and looked after my mum with her needs that are met. The entertainment team here also puts on a great range of interactive activities involving the residents and family.
Communication with the staff is easy; we have confidence in them - they listen to us and let us know anything concerning our mum. We feel supported, too, as relatives and are very grateful for all that is done.
Thank you for your kind words and we are grateful for your review; we strive to give the best service and always want to improve. Thank you again and all the best to you and your family.
John has been here for approx 4 months. I have found it to be a welcoming, safe place. Excellent staff, very caring, clean & variety of food available. Excellent 24/7 care. Also, I have been kept well informed of his progress, would thoroughly recommend.
The team at Glebe Care home are doing a fantastic job at caring for my mother in very difficult circumstances. Always keeping the family updated with any relevant updates and sharing social events.
The risk they take when safeguarding vulnerable patients is no small thing and is very much appreciated.
My wife has complex needs as she has early onset dementia, so she is more active than typical care home residents. I chose Glebe House for her, (initially for respite and then for permanent residence once she was no longer safe at home) because of the atmosphere of the place and the commitment and caring attitude of the staff. She has been a resident for half a year and I have not been disappointed. The management (Sam and Abena) set the right example in terms of their approach. The food is very good and varied. It's an old building but has more character than more modern places. There is a large garden and conservatory which are good for residents in the summer.
Mum has been here for about 18 months, and we are very happy with the care and support that is provided. We feel that Mum is in the best place and is well looked after, given the circumstances. Thanks to everyone at Glebe House.
My neighbour is a resident of this nursing home. I deliver mail to him. He can be a difficult person yet seems very happy where he is. I can see that he is well fed. He dislikes noise so the staff allow him to sit in the dining room to watch T.V. He has always been a person who complains yet he has not complained about his treatment in this nursing home.
The longstanding dedicated approachable management team ably support a kind, committed and consistent team of nurses carers, housekeepers and catering staff.
They all constantly strive to ensure that my husband receives the highest level of care possible to meet his ongoing and developing needs. The relationship built with my family is positive and appreciated as support is needed in difficult times.
My Father has never looked so happy and content, which makes us feel so content and the staff are all so friendly. Lovely place!
If there are any problems the home has communicated to me quickly and clearly and on her special day they've made a fuss out of her.
Feel lucky that she came to Glebe House.
Great effort is put into providing enjoyable activities for residents including singing and music sessions, arts and crafts and games. The menu is marvellous and varied and residents can order whatever they would like to eat. Special cakes are made for all residents' birthdays.
All staff show kindness and understanding for residents needing extra emotional support. Staff are patient and treat everyone with dignity.
Cleanliness is high on the agenda and the housekeeper is really meticulous in ensuring a very high standard of hygiene in all areas.
The manager is always ready to listen to concerns and takes action immediately. My sister and I are so pleased to have found such an excellent home for our Mum. She is happy and content and enjoys the company of those around her.
Once she moved to Glebe House she became much calmer and happier in her environment.
The care from all of the staff has been excellent caring, professional, and genuine.
I would definitely recommend Glebe House for the care of vulnerable loved ones.
Mum has been a resident for three years. From the very start she has been treated with respect and patience. It is a well-managed home which shows in every aspect of life there. We feel lucky that Glebe House was recommended to us.
