The Gables Care Home

My mum came to The Gables after a series of falls resulting in hospitalisation. Since being here, her health, mental state and happiness have vastly improved and she has returned to being the mum I had 3 years ago. The staff are all fantastic and nothing is too much trouble for them. Mum is treated with dignity and respect at all times and is encouraged to be sociable and happy. I can't thank them enough.

I know that we made the right decision in choosing The Gables and thank the staff from the bottom of my heart for all their hard work, kindness and compassion shown to my dad. Sadly my dad passed away due to his illness but it is of considerable comfort to me knowing he was cared for exceptionally well in his final weeks.

she is getting the care and attention she needs in a safe environment. I can't thank you all enough.

In addition, support for family members has been appreciated and helps us all to come to terms with this new and challenging time of Mums life.

I have nothing but praise for the care that my mum received. Every member of staff/management totally hardworking, dedicated and sympathetic to all my mum's needs. I have never regretted choosing The Gables for my mum's end of life care. The Gables are a credit to healthcare homes. Thank you so much for all you have done.

When I arrived I did not like the place but staff were wonderful, made me welcome and looked after me well. I now like it.

I am a resident of The Gables and lived here for over 4 years. I am of sound mind, I have Parkinsons and chronic mobility issues. I would like to say the care and the food is of a high standard, it's very homely, caring and would like to thank every one for their support.

Would definitely recommend this care home!

Our stay at The Gables was excellent. Our room was very comfortable with a beautiful sea view. The staff were very helpful and treated us with the utmost respect. We were unable to take part in any activities owing to my Wifes condition but we had a very enjoyable rest. - Thank you all.

My husband is the resident and has been in The Gables for nearly 4 years and has Parkinson's and chronic mobility issues. He is very happy and content under the circumstances and gets so well looked after and every single member of staff is fantastic and we could not ask for any better.

We viewed a number of homes in the area and The Gables was the home that we felt best suited my Grandad and his needs. The support from the staff means that he is able to maintain his independence, whilst feeling confident that he has the backup available to him if necessary. He is so happy and settled at The Gables, his room is always warm and kept clean, he says the food is excellent and he refers to the carers as his extended family.

From my perspective, the home is a safe environment, the staff are wonderful and it is evident that they care for the residents as they would their own family. Management are great; very approachable and are happy to work alongside relatives and residents to ensure that the best possible level of care is delivered.

A caring and safe haven for residents. Staff take the trouble to go beyond immediate needs and involve residents as much as possible. The food is excellent.

My mother has been a resident for about 18 months. During this period her overall health has definitely improved and her outlook on life is much healthier. The staff have encouraged her to participate in many different activities and she now thoroughly enjoys everything she does, especially as she has found new friendships with other residents - she says she's never laughed so much! We are extremely happy with her treatment and her progress.

My Aunt and her husband have been resident in The Gables for over a year now. It was a difficult adjustment for them as they had to leave their lovely bungalow that they had retired to. It was a traumatic time for them. This was eased by the wonderful staff at The Gables. While ill health and dementia have continued to take their toll, the staff have looked after them well. Constantly coming up with new ways to adapt my relatives care.

My Aunt and her husband have their own possessions around them and while they have given The Gables staff many challenges, the staff have met them. I am very happy with the level of care they receive. It is very difficult to care for our relatives, there is never a one size fits all solution. The Gables have a very dedicated group of professionals who constantly go the extra mile for their residents. No residential home is perfect, nor are our own homes and lifestyles perfect, but at The Gables, they do their utmost to reach perfection every day.

Thank you all so much.

My brother was a resident in the Gables for end of life care. He was very reluctant to go into care but the staff were very patient and kind and within a short time he relaxed and began to feel at home. I felt everyone went out of their way to make him feel welcome. Apart from his illness, he had disabilities being deaf and non speaking, his eyesight was also poor. Despite this, the staff made every effort to communicate with him and meet his needs. I feel he was well cared for and comfortable during the final 17 months of his life.

All staff from managers, care, catering, cleaners and maintenance were all helpful and made residents, families and friends feel at home. They gave our friend the best possible end of life care with dignity.

he Gables were no different from the other two homes in that matter. If our unfortunate situation was to be repeated I would have no hesitation in making The Gables my choice again.

Like all places there have been some niggles but nothing that hasn't been resolved after a chat with staff, with this attitude you never feel there isn't anything that is troubling no matter how small you can't bring up for discussion.

I love it here, it's right by the sea, the staff are friendly and work hard.
