Review from Sandra G (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My father spent 6 months in Glen Arun and the care and kindness he received was amazing.
During the last few weeks we were updated on his health frequently in the most caring and compassionate way.
On the days leading up to Dad's passing both he and our family were treated with dignity and kindness.
We
spent a lot of time with Dad during his stay and even at the end we could be there as long as we wanted with constant visits from nurses, carers, and the Manager.
I cannot fault this care home and everyone that works there
Reply from Neema Clinton, Manager at Glen Arun Nursing Home

Thank you for your loving and kind words , we are also very happy that dad had his final moments with his loved ones around. Keep in touch and feel free to visit us with mum.

My mum was admitted to Glen Arun after a stay in hospital and the home environment was no longer suited to her care requirements. During her time at the care home she was cared for with dignity, respect & compassion. As a family we were constantly updated with any changes to mums care.
The fact that
all the staff are employed by the home and are not agency staff means there is a sense of pride & community among them. It also ensures a continuity of familiar faces for the residents, which helps to build a level of trust & friendship.
I only hope when my time comes, I am fortunate enough to receive the same level of care. Thank you everyone at Glen Arun.

In the time my mum was at Glen Arun we found the care and support not only to my mum but our family in this difficult time for us as amazing my mum really was happy there and with the staff which was a great comfort to us.

wish for, for your family member. Would highly recommend.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From the moment my mum arrived at Glen Arun Nursing Home, I felt a sense of relief and calm. We were all welcomed so warmly and each and every member of staff who we came into contact with gave us the feeling that my mum would be not only well looked after but genuinely cared for. She was only, sadly
at Glen Arun for a few days of end-of-life care before she passed away. During those few days though she was kept so comfortable, warm and safe and that meant so much to me after all the confusion and anonymity of the hospital environment. Thank you to Glen Arun for making my mum's last days so peaceful.

I am delighted with the care my friend is receiving, and every time I visit, the staff are very welcoming and helpful. They always find the time to update me on matters, and the management team are very personable. The move to this home has stabilised my friend's health, and he is encouraged to keep
his mind active. I am confident that my friend is in a safe and homely environment.

I visited my friend on 21st June, he had been transferred from East Surrey hospital to have palliative care at the home. I couldn't have been more impressed with the comfortable room that he had been given, or the caring, cheerful staff attending to him. A difficult time, but I'm confident that Alan
couldn't be in a better place.

I cannot thank you enough for the excellent care you gave my husband, nothing was too much trouble. His privacy was respected. The kind staff were always positive, caring and encouraging. They were also chatty and fun when needed to be. The food was good with excellent choices and the chef was always
happy to make spicy side dishes as requested. My husband enjoyed hearing about the staff's interests and families. I appreciated all the information given to both myself and my sons regarding my husband's care.

Glen Arun Nursing Home is very caring. All the staff are exceptional in every way. Always time to care and chat with us as a friend of a resident. Always offers a cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit and make sure we have chairs to sit on. The home manager is one in a million - caring and always ready
to see us and chat about our friend and is in constant touch with emails if we have any questions.

After a challenging start because of her dementia, the staff helped my mother settle in. They also tried to involve her in the various activities available but she chose not to. I was very satisfied with the way my mother was looked after during her year-long stay at Glen Arun Nursing Home. I found
the staff to be attentive and caring and I was kept informed and made welcome on my visits. Throughout her stay, she was treated well which I found reassuring, especially in her final weeks. Thanks to all of the staff.

When the time comes to place a much loved person into a home it is a very hard and sad decision, unfortunately this time came with my Mum who broke her hip and was in the latter stages of Alzheimer's. The moment I met the manager and discussed my concerns and needs my worries were put to ease. I was
anxious that she would be just left in her room like a previous home but this was never the case and they gaged it perfectly her requirements; hence why she looked so much happier. I have only high praise for everyone that works there, the fabulous manager, nurses, carers, chef, caterers and also the lovely laundry lady. Mum always looked immaculate which meant a lot to me as before Alzheimer's took a hold this was very important to her. I cannot think of any negatives - yes maybe the rooms look a little dated, however, they are spotlessly clean and there is nothing stopping you making it feel more homely. So not really a negative, just an observation. Thank you so very much.

My mum has been in Glen Arun since February 2022. We were very worried about her when she first came here but she has shown much improvement generally. The team are wonderful - they look after Mum very well and take the time to have a laugh and a joke with her which raises her spirits, as well as giving
her excellent care and nursing. Decisions about Mum's care are discussed fully and we are always involved. They have also supported us as a family, taking the time to listen and showing empathy.
The manager is excellent at liaising by phone, email and in-person, giving updates and information.
I am so grateful that Mum is in Glen Arun, I would fully recommend it to anyone.

This is my mother's second year at Glen Arun Nursing Home. She is 97 and following a broken hip and a bout of Covid, she is now at Glen Arun and doubly incontinent and quite severely cognitively impaired. She needs constant help, even to eat and drink. The staff at Glen Arun are wonderful; very attentive,
kind and patient; and very skilled at raising her spirits and making her laugh. She is never left alone in her room for long and her wishes and her dignity are always respected. As a family, it gives us great peace of mind to know that my mother is so well cared for.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother has been a resident at Glen Arun for many years and throughout her time there the care she has received has been extremely good. The staff are very caring and considerate and have often gone the extra mile to look after Mum. I have always been made welcome at the home whenever I visit although
obviously there have been restrictions due to Covid. I considered myself lucky that Mum was at Glen Arun during the period when we were unable to visit as I felt reassured and confident that Mum would be looked after well even under difficult circumstances. The home is good at contacting and liaising with me if there are any problems or concerns with Mum.
I cannot comment on the current activity programme but in the past, prior to Covid, it has been excellent. Mum’s room and en-suite facilities are always clean whenever I visit.
I feel that Glen Arun is a warm, caring and welcoming home for Mum and I am pleased that I chose the home for her.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.177)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.177) out of 10 for Glen Arun 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.863 for Glen Arun Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (11 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.863
  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 4.314 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glen Arun Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7
    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 57 registered maximum number of service users is 11.4. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 11.4 = 0.614
  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.
