The team at Greenslades are passionate about enriching the lives of their residents, each and every day, providing care with dignity and compassion.
Providing nursing, dementia and palliative care, they also offer respite care breaks, which can be booked in advance. These are ideal for carers in the community, who would like to plan a short break themselves, knowing their loved one is in safe hands. These breaks can be for just a couple of weeks, or longer if desired.
The home-cooked food prepared by the chef is delicious, from roast dinners with all the trimmings, to fish and chip Fridays, home-made soups and lighter bites. There is also home-baking every day for afternoon tea.
This summer, the residents have been enjoying growing their own produce, from radishes and onions, to carrots and tomatoes, which the chef has used in the kitchens. There are raised beds in the gardens, perfect for residents and families who love gardening together. And for those who prefer to watch the wildlife, there are two conservatories overlooking the enclosed gardens.
The bedrooms at Greenslades are spacious and beautifully decorated, with residents encouraged to bring their own items and small pieces of furniture, to truly make them feel at home.
The home also has a hair salon for regular appointments with the hairdresser. And the residents often enjoy pamper sessions in the salon and the relaxation room, with manicures and hand massages. And in the lounges, they enjoy a variety of activities, from games to gentle exercise and music sessions.
A recent addition to the home is a giant interactive tablet, where the residents can play games and test their knowledge.
And the community are embraced into life at Greenslades, from students who visit regularly, to family and friends, who are welcome at any time. Residents also enjoy regular canine visits too!

He had multiple physical needs ( he had end stage Parkinson's as well as other serious health conditions) which were not always met by overworked nursing staff.
Any exercise, (even just helping him to stand) which would have encouraged him, was frustratingly denied him, because of staff shortage, and he was left in bed or his chair most of the day, unless family intervened.
Staff were friendly and helpful when asked. Some staff were excellent and went out of their way to help him.
Perhaps the greatest shock was being interrupted with my son, as my husband was taking his dying breaths, to be asked by a nurse why we had no funeral plan.
Greenslades undoubtedly suits the loved ones of many families but I do not recommend it for someone with multiple complex needs, especially end stage Parkinson's.

It has been wonderful to see the improvements in my mum's mental and physical health since moving into Greenslades. She is clean, well-fed, bright and happy. The staff are fantastic with her and have taken the time to get to know her well. Mum really enjoys the variety of activities and loves having the company of the other residents and staff. The food is excellent and mum enjoys it all. It is a huge relief to our family to know that Mum is so well cared for and is happy and thriving, despite her Alzheimers.

I found the staff to be very professional, kind and helpful. The home was always clean and they were having home improvements done as well, painting etc. The staff were approachable and would always answer any questions you had.

The food is of good quality and plenty of it, drinks are readily available.
There are plenty of daily activities to keep everyone occupied and you do have the choice to participate or not - nothing is forced onto you.
There is a social media page where you can see what the nursing home has been doing so for families who cannot visit as often they can see what activities the residents are participating in.
The home is very quick to get in touch if there are any concerns with my parent which is very reassuring to us all.
Thank you for your kind words for our team at Greenslades. We're so pleased to hear that your parent feels so at home and holds the staff in such high regard. It's wonderful to know that the cleanliness, quality meals, and daily activities bring such comfort and enjoyment. The team will be delighted to read your kind words, thank you.

Her bedroom is cleaned daily and my mum enjoys the food.
It always breaks my heart to leave as I can only visit once a week due to living in North Devon, but I know she's looked after and her needs are attended to.
Thank you so much for your kind words about our team at Greenslades, we're delighted to hear that your mum has settled in so well and feels at home here. It means a lot to us that you trust us with your mum's well-being and feedback is greatly appreciated!

Fantastic end-of-life care for my mum, primarily down the quality of the staff. I found everyone to be incredibly supportive, responsive, knowledgeable and caring. Furthermore, nursing staff made numerous phone calls to update me of any immediate changes to my mum's health so I could change plans and be with her. Greenslades is fairly central in the city and while it didn't have gardens like a few other homes, it was very clean, had decent food and is very well run. I can thoroughly recommend for a family member.
Thank you for your review for Greenslades, especially written at such a difficult time, the team will be touched to read your kind words and personal recommendation.
Very happy with the care my husband is receiving. The staff are excellent very caring and friendly. Nothing seems to be too much for them and do everything with a smile on their face. A very happy atmosphere. Thank you

Thank you for your review for Greenslades, it's lovely to hear how well your mother has settled in - the staff are certainly fantastic there.
Room was very tired and no bedside light, so my mother could not turn light on and off at night. Very noisy alarm system outside her room. No accessibility to power sockets if patient cannot get out of bed. Curtains tatty. Gutters blocked above...
Room was very tired and no bedside light, so my mother could not turn light on and off at night. Very noisy alarm system outside her room. No accessibility to power sockets if patient cannot get out of bed. Curtains tatty. Gutters blocked above the room so excessive rain bashing against windows.
Although the staff are excellent the building needs a revamp!
Thank you for your kind words of praise and high scores for our team. We are sorry to hear the environment of the home has fallen short and would like to reassure you that plans are in place for a revamp with improvement works coming up.

Many of the care staff who were working there when he first arrived cared for him for the whole of his stay. The staff were universally kind and seemed to fully understand his needs. I was always able to visit whenever I wanted without an appointment and always found him well looked after in every possible way.

I started off in care when I was 19, looking after my father and decided this was what I wanted to do for a career as I wanted to make a difference.
I have worked my way through all roles in all different sectors of social care to get to where I am now. I have been in management for 10 years now and I wouldn’t change a thing.
Care is my life and passion and I love learning something new every day. I am honoured that I can say that I truly love what I do and I am privileged and lucky to have a career with a company that shares the same passion.

I find my role very satisfying, I enjoy helping the families and friends of our residents with whatever they may need.
