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.

My dad is finding it hard to settle in after living on his own. Some staff need to be more understanding of these residents that have to go into care and leave their whole life they know behind and come to terms with moving into a small bedroom they now have to call home, with very little of their own belongings.
More passion and empathy wouldn't go amiss.
Your dad has told me personally that he is very happy and settled and loves being at the home.

Recently, my mum had urgent need to be housed in a safe and secure environment. With the assistance of social services, a room was offered at The Gables Care Home. Immediately, my fears and worries were alleviated. I cannot thank the Staff enough for all their care, patience and attention given to my mum, since her arrival nothing is too much trouble. She tells me how helpful and loving the staff are and how nice the food is and it is lovely to see her smiling again. Once again, thank you to the management and support staff of The Gables.
Thank you for your comments, your mum is a pleasure to look after and I'm glad we were able to help both of you at such a challenging time.
My aunt had been a resident of The Gables for six and a half years and was extremely well looked after. Unfortunately, she passed away in November but the care and compassion the staff showed her was above and beyond and we are very grateful.

Thank you for your comments. After such a long time of being a resident in the home, it's always difficult for staff when our residents pass away, having built up relationships with the person and their families. I'm glad she was able to celebrate her 100th birthday earlier this year.

Well, this is my last and final review of the Gables. My dad had nearly made his 8 years on September 16th which would have been his birthday and he would have been 81 - he also went into the Gables on his birthday. He had chronic mobility, Parkinson's disease and dementia. Sadly he deteriorated very quickly with not being able to hardly talk and swallow which was so, so distressing. He finally passed peacefully on 4/09/2022 thank God. We now know he is at peace and has not got to suffer anymore - sadly life is very cruel to some. My mum and I would like to thank every single member of staff at the Gables for the love they gave him and my mum and I. I had to clear out his room and the staff were so upset as I know they loved him. It's been a horrid 8 years watching a loved one fade away but we get comfort he was looked after right until the end and every single member of staff knows what we think of them. For one last time, from the bottom of our hearts - thank you all.
Thank you for such kind words. Your dad, you and your mum meant a lot to all the staff who work in the home and it was always a pleasure caring for your dad. Over the 8 years we have built up firm relationships with all of you and I know how supportive you have been to The Gables throughout this...
Thank you for such kind words. Your dad, you and your mum meant a lot to all the staff who work in the home and it was always a pleasure caring for your dad. Over the 8 years we have built up firm relationships with all of you and I know how supportive you have been to The Gables throughout this time and have always had nothing but praise for us all, especially during Covid when I know you found it really difficult not being able to visit. Thank you again.

I chose the Gables for my sister because it was near to my home and I would be able to visit regularly. I deemed this important as she had dementia and lacked capacity. From my first conversation with the manager, I knew I had made the right choice. No effort was spared to assist me in settling my sister. In fact, her physical condition improved greatly and I and her visitors said they had noticed a marked improvement in her since admission. We were shocked when my sister passed away some 6 weeks later. Indeed it is fair to say that the staff felt so too. This situation however does not detract from the care she received during this period.
Thank you for your comments, it was a pleasure caring for your sister and I know she was very happy and settled for the short time she was with us. We will also miss you visiting with your little dog as many of the other residents benefitted from this as well.
All the staff are compassionate and caring. They treat my mum with great sensitivity and kindness. The staff work hard to ensure there are plenty of activities and entertainment and I feel reassured that my mum is safe and happy there.

Thank you for your kind comments and recognition of the staff's continued commitment to our residents and their families.
Mum has only been in The Gables for a few weeks. Mum seems to have settled in well and appears happy.

Thank you for your kind comments. Your mum was a large character around the home and was loved and respected by all of our staff. It was a pleasure caring for her in her later years.
Our relation was admitted to Gables in December 2020, during Covid, from hospital. He was incontinent and hardly able to walk. During his time there, visits were limited due to Covid.

Our relation was admitted to Gables in December 2020, during Covid, from hospital. He was incontinent and hardly able to walk. During his time there, visits were limited due to Covid. As restrictions eased, I could visit and take him out. The staff were all lovely and really took good care of him, resulting in good mobility and regaining his dignity. We cannot thank the Gables enough for what they have done as it would have been very challenging, due to his nature and dementia. Thank you so much.
Thank you for your kind comments, we always strive to promote dignity and autonomy. As you know, your relative was quite a character around the home whilst he was with us but always a pleasure to care for.
I must thank you for all the care you gave to my husband. He became a very sick man and you treated him kindly and well, right to the end. Thank you.

Thank you for your kind comments, it was a pleasure caring for your loved one and building relationships with both him and yourself
My father was put in this awful place in March up until October this year. Extremely unfriendly staff and the manager is a joke. Horrified at the so-called care my dad received, still fighting to get this place closed.

On occasions, relationships with families are not as good as they might ideally be, regrettably, this was such an instance. A number of complaints were raised and we investigated all of them. Where we felt we could have done better we said as much, but in all bar very few instances, review by ourselves found your complaints to be unfounded. Where complaints were referred to the Local Authority and CQC their own investigations exonerated us. It is our understanding that we are not the only care provider against whom you have lodged complaints. We would draw to your attention to the fact that our staff have reported issues of verbal abuse from family members during this difficult episode which left them feeling threatened and intimidated. As an employer, we do not tolerate such abuse and we will seriously consider taking legal action when this occurs.We are proud of the CQC report which rates the home as ‘GOOD’ and the many positive reviews which have been consistently high.

Mum was a resident at The Gables for almost three years before she passed away, recently. She no longer knew who we were and the staff at The Gables became her family, as well as providing her care. I found that all the staff were helpful and supportive in helping me to keep as much contact with Mum as was possible. This was quite difficult, as I live almost 300 miles away. I cannot speak too highly of the support that my husband and I received on the night Mum passed away. The staff on duty were so caring and considerate. I feel they helped Mum to go with dignity. Several members of staff said very positive things to me about Mum, including the fact that you could laugh and joke with her. That tells me that she was happy there.
Thank you for your kind comments. Staff do see themselves as extended family, building relationships with both our residents and their relatives. It's been a pleasure caring for your mum for the past 3 years and thank you for your continued support of the home, especially during Covid.

My ninety seven old mother went into The Gables last October just before another wave of Covid-19. We were not allowed into the building or to see her to explain the reason for her not being allowed out of the building nor for visitors to be allowed in. The only communication was via telephone, email or the homes laptop for face time. The carers looked after her well and the food was good as she would soon have told me if not but we didn’t really get to see how caring they were and the affection they had for her until her last few days of her life when we were allowed in on compassionate grounds. Thank you to all concerned.
Thank you for your kind comments. We appreciate being in lockdown has been difficult for everyone concerned, especially in care homes. It was a pleasure caring for your loved one.
Mum was not the most amiable of people, but the staff worked their way around this to keep her as comfortable and happy as possible, especially during the Covid period. The manager was exceptional and very good at solving any issues we had with Mum and overcoming any problems promptly.

Thank you for such a kind review of The Gables; it's always great to hear positive reports of the care we offer, which helps boost staff morale.

My husband was transferred to The Gables from hospital following a stroke earlier this year. Unfortunately, due to Covid, he was isolated in his room for 14 days, which he found very stressful. After that we were able to have short visits in the garden. He was very well looked after and found all the staff to be friendly and caring. The meals were very good.
Thank you for your comments. It was a pleasure looking after your husband and see him make a good enough recovery to be able to return home.
All staff are very helpful and are looking after my sister very well, I'm pleased to say.

During Covid-19 I have missed my dad, but have been updated regularly. When visiting it is amazing how they are keeping residents safe and the fact they have had no Covid-19 cases in the home at all.

I can truly say that it was a pleasure for me to be in a safe home and be in the care of all such caring staff, they will be very much missed. The Gables is situated in a beautiful location with the sea and sand across the road and a pleasant garden to sit in and enjoy the sea air. My extended stay at The Gables gave me the chance to build up my strength with all the good food and care received. Many thanks.
Thank you for your kind comments. It truly was a pleasure caring for you and to help with your recovery to enable you to move back home.
Mum was well looked after, staff did their very best at all times.

Thank you for your comments and support over the past 3-years your mum was living with us.
My father spent his final months at The Gables. During that time, I felt that he received the highest standard of care, support and kindness. I felt like I was a part of the team around my father and we worked together to ensure he had the best care and quality of life. When I made suggestions...
Communication was always easy and constructive and I felt that both my father's needs and my own were always attended to. The staff were always caring and kind and the environment was well maintained.
My father was treated with respect and staff maintained his dignity at all times. He was happy there.
Thank you for your kind comments, we always endeavour to work as closely with the residents and their families to enable us to provide the best care possible. It was a pleasure looking after your dad.
