The Gables, at Gorleston, offers residential care packages, within scenic surroundings and not far from the sea air at Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft.
Residents have the choice to take part in numerous activities and events organised by the service, including an annual fete, with in-house hairdressing, manicures and hand massages also available.
A converted Victorian mansion, The Gables has retained much of the charm of its original architecture while being organised with comfortable furnishings in mind. A sheltered patio is popular during the warmer weather and residents are welcome to bring their own possessions.
The provider believes in on-going training programmes, though carers are employed for their personal qualities as well as their skills, in order to achieve warmth and friendliness in a homely environment.

I cannot emphasise enough my thanks and gratitude to all the staff at The Gables for the love and care they gave to my wife which was such contrast to the treatment we got from social services! The staff at The Gables work so hard to care for their residents, coping also with the constraints of the building. They will always have my gratitude.
The staff have shown so much care and patience with my aunt from when she went to live there early 2020 until she dies 27/08/2026. They always treated her respect and looked after her health. The spoke to her using her name even though she was unable to respond due to her medical condition....
The staff have shown so much care and patience with my aunt from when she went to live there early 2020 until she dies 27/08/2026. They always treated her respect and looked after her health. The spoke to her using her name even though she was unable to respond due to her medical condition. Everyone was professional and practiced in their jobs. I was always kept informed as I was POA and NOK. I can't fault the staff they are hard working, kind, considerate and treated my aunt like she was family.
My mum fell down the stairs from top to bottom in The Gables on Monday 3rd of August. This is her 6th fall since December 2025, this one being the worst.

My mum fell down the stairs from top to bottom in The Gables on Monday 3rd of August. This is her 6th fall since December 2025, this one being the worst. She was taken to hospital where I was informed by the hospital that The Gables have refused to have her back. They didn't even have the decency to inform the family, I emailed the home on Friday 7th, still not had a response from them. Shame they didn't wait as she is on end of life care now (absolutely disgusted)
Although my dad was not in your care home for long the care he received while on end of life care I felt he was treated with dignity compassion and loving care. The staff made his last couple of weeks by responding to my dads good sense of humour by offering him cuddles when he asked! I was also...
Although my dad was not in your care home for long the care he received while on end of life care I felt he was treated with dignity compassion and loving care. The staff made his last couple of weeks by responding to my dads good sense of humour by offering him cuddles when he asked! I was also well looked after by the staff and management so much so that I felt like we were at home! Making me feel comfortable so I could spend last few weeks of his with with in.
I'm pleased that we were able to support your dad and you as a family at such a difficult time

Amazing care home, walking in and the homely feeling was brilliant. The staff greeted us and made a fuss of mum. Have stayed for lunch with mum a couple of times and the food was lovely, and nothing seems too much trouble. The home is very clean and mum is looked after very well. I certainly would highly recommend The Gables to anyone who is looking for a care home for their loved ones.
Thank you for your feedback. Although your mum hasn't been with us long, she seems to be very settled and happy to be with us. I'm really pleased that your mum is with us and that you already feel part of our extended family.

Our dad has been here 8 months, for someone with advanced dementia he has settled incredibly well. All the staff are well trained + do an amazing job. Plenty of organised activities, great food and lots of it. Dads bedroom is well equipped and always pristine. I love that we can visit at anytime and are always made to feel welcome. Finding the right care home for our much - loved dad was never going to be easy, but we really did succeed with The Gables!
Thank you for your comments. It has been a pleasure getting to know your dad and his family and I'm glad that he has settled so well with us and thriving.

My mum was so happy at The Gables. After living alone with carers coming in, she felt so comfortable and spoilt. The staff are all excellent and couldn't have cared for her more. She was thoroughly spoilt. She enjoyed all the entertainment laid on, such a variety and joined in with it all. Would recommend to anyone.
Thank you for your kind comments. Your mum was such a lively character and a joy to care for. I know as a family you have had a very tough time recently and I'm glad that The Gales was able to support both your mum and her family
I would recommend the home to all my friends.

Dad was taken to the Gables Care Home on December 23rd 2024. Lovely greeting, very friendly staff, went above and beyond to support him and his family.

Unfortunately my aunt who was 88 at the time, was "allegedly" assaulted by a carer. The very person who was meant to be looking after her. She suffered a black eye, which she couldn't open. All of this was witnessed by another carer. But due to insufficient evidence, the police couldn't press charges. The "alleged" attacker was suspended and dismissed several weeks later. My aunt is on end of life care and is suffering from advanced Alzheimer's dementia and weighs approximately 3.5 stone. Hardly a threat to anyone. Due to her frailty, she's stuck there. Other than that, the Gables is okay.
Everyone at The Gables was enormously saddened by the events you have related. I am sure that you appreciate that we cannot comment on the outcome of the Police enquiry other than to assure you that we cooperated fully throughout.

Everyone at The Gables was enormously saddened by the events you have related. I am sure that you appreciate that we cannot comment on the outcome of the Police enquiry other than to assure you that we cooperated fully throughout. If I may, I would reassure you that we suspended the member of staff immediately whilst the Police completed their enquiries. We were not able to formally terminate their employment until the Police had completed their work. I thank you for having the kindness to mention at the end of your review that you are otherwise satisfied with the care we deliver at The Gables. Your aunt is a lovely lady and we are doing everything we can to ensure her continued stay with us is as comfortable as we can make it.
The staff are friendly and make you welcome. When handling concerns you can express your concerns and most of the time they are acted on. The residents have enjoyed having an activities person.

The staff are friendly and make you welcome. When handling concerns you can express your concerns and most of the time they are acted on. The residents have enjoyed having an activities person. Mum loves the food and snacks. The security is good. Things to work on. Washing of hair, hands and food under nails and feet not washed so dirt collects between toes. Pressure cushions smell of urine and commodes often smell. Rooms need decorating and carpets replaced. The garden could be used a lot more.
Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, as you are aware, your mum does not always accept assistance with her personal care although we will continue to look at different ways of achieving this.

Thank you for your comments. Unfortunately, as you are aware, your mum does not always accept assistance with her personal care although we will continue to look at different ways of achieving this. The home is in the process of replacing carpets around the home with several of the communal areas already completed and I am hoping we can continue with this in areas requiring replacements. We have taken on board your comments around the cleanliness of the room and will ensure this is addressed as soon as possible.
During his stay, his health declined quite rapidly and he was eventually admitted to...
I would recommend The Gables to anyone seeking a caring and safe place for their family members who require that extra helping hand.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review about The Gables. It is a shame that your brother only stayed with us a short time but I know he was happy and settled and it was a pleasure caring for him and getting to know his family better.
From the top down, the staff are clearly a concerned team and they are all doing all that can be done for the resident's...
I am, to say the least, very pleased that he is receiving the best of attention at this stage of life, and commend the staff for their outstanding care practices and the provision of the essential resources to accommodate, they are a credit to the profession.
Thank you for your kind comments. We are always committed to providing care and support to both our residents and their loved ones in any way we are able to.

He was treated with love and respect, sadly my brother passed away this week. The staff and management were fantastic, would recommend for families looking for care.
Thank you for your comments. I know your brother was loved and respected in the home. It was lovely to be able to facilitate him moving to be closer to you so that you could see him more often. I know that he really enjoyed living at The Gables and the special friendship he formed with one particular person.

My mum has resided here for more than eight years. She settled in nicely after a few weeks and has been very happy. She always praised the girls for making her feel at home, always there to help when needed and very friendly. The manager and senior staff were always willing to sort out any minor issues. Sadly Mum passed away over the Easter period, aged 101! I will always be grateful to them all for making her last eight years happy ones.
Thank you for your comments, it has been a pleasure caring for your mum over the years and getting to know you and your dog on your regular visits.
My aunt moved into The Gables in April 2023 and from day 1 was very well looked after and the carers, kitchen staff, cleaning staff and the management were great. She was very happy there but sadly she passed away in February this year.

The staff at the Gables were excellent and looked after my friend well. However, the quality of the food was very poor, meals served cold and for the first week of her stay, there were no vegetables. Also, the activities programme we were told about at our viewing turned out to be non-existent. My friend was at the Gables for 3 weeks and asked me to get her moved. As stated, the staff are excellent and caring but for people without dementia, this is not an ideal home. Also as she is independent and could shower herself the lack of hand bars was not ideal.
It's disappointing to hear about the problems you have mentioned as none of these were highlighted whilst your friend stayed at the home. Had we have known about your concerns at the time we would have done everything in our...
Thank you for your review and bringing your concerns to our attention.I'm glad you were finally able to find a suitable alternative to be closer to your friend which you originally wanted.

Although my Mum was only in The Gables for a few weeks, she settled really quickly and was cared for really well. Her room had views of the harbour, was always clean and she always looked really comfortable. All the staff were really friendly and always had time for a chat. They supported me and my family through her final days and did everything they could for us all.
Thank you for your review of The Gables. It was a pleasure caring for your mum despite only being for a short time.
Mum was in The Gables for over a year and sadly passed away in April 2023. Her condition deteriorated over that time due to Dementia, so her care needs were constantly changing. Throughout the whole time, her care was exemplary, and I cannot praise every one of the staff enough.

Thank you for your kind comments; I know it means a lot to all the staff to hear positive feedback from relatives. We are proud to have been able to support you and your mum in her final months with us.
