My mum has been in several care/nursing homes over the past 4 years. She has had many bad experiences in the past so we were very reluctant to have her staying in another. I can honestly and truthfully say from the start to finish of Mum's care at Gateford Hill Care Home, it has been exceptional. I
would like to compliment and thank the managers and staff for looking after and nursing Mum. Mum will be staying again and I have no hesitation in recommending Gateford Hill Care Home.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Gateford Hill and all its staff are truly outstanding. The care, empathy, compassion professionalism they give to residents and their families is matched nowhere else. They ensure that all needs are met and go the extra mile to make them feel at home and ensure they have access to all kinds of activities
no matter what their care needs. Sadly my father-in-law was on end of life in April early May and the care they provided to him and us as a family was amazing. Even down to checking that we had drinks while we stayed with him, did we need any food all the little things that get forgotten about for families. They even offered hugs when they were most needed. We feel overwhelmingly lucky that he was able to be cared for at Gateford and even at the end was able to stay there and give us peace that to the last moments it was just how anyone should be cared for. We will always have a special place in our hearts for this care home and its amazing staff.

From the moment we visited, we knew it was right.
The management, reception, nurses, carers, cleaning staff, catering and activity team - exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for more.
A lovely building for our loved one to spend his last few months with kind and caring staff throughout.
Thank you.

My mother in law stayed at Gateford Hill Care Home for six months whilst recovering from a severe stroke which left her severely debilitated.
Because of the excellent care and attention she received from all the staff, she has made a remarkable recovery and is now back in her own home.
My husband
and I cannot begin to express how grateful we are to such a wonderful team and would recommend this home wholeheartedly.
Reply from Jane Clinch, Manager at Gateford Hill Care Home

Thank you for your review. It was so wonderful to get to know your mother-in-law and see her progress and recovery and ultimately to see her return home. We wish you all the best for the future.

My mum went to Gateford Hill Care Home on the 27th of February 2023. Without exception, everyone was welcoming. Unfortunately, her stay was short with her passing on the 9th of March. The care, empathy and compassion shown before and after, as well as her time there, were incredible. An amazing place.

My husband was cared for in his final days with the utmost care and dignity. Everyone looked after him and our family as if they were their own family members. Nothing was too much to ask and they were professional, caring and friendly. The home was clean and homely and I was made to feel so welcome
every time I visited, Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did - you were all amazing.

My dad was moved to Gateford Hill after a hospital stay. He was immediately made to feel at home and I could see he was much more content. He was treated with respect and all staff took the time to get to know him and the rest of his family. All staff would do whatever they could to make my dad as comfortable
as possible and although his stay was only short, I felt so much better that during his last days he was cared for so well and was comfortable and well looked after. The staff also looked after my mum, me and my sibling - ensuring that we were always okay too. They are all amazing and my mum wants to go there when she is older!

Mum came to stay as she has advanced Alzheimer's and could not cope living alone. The staff made us feel welcome straight away when visiting and explained everything clearly and helpfully. Mum is receiving the best care and support, despite this being difficult for her. The home is lovely, clean and
welcoming and the staff are all excellent and friendly.

I visited an old friend today who has moved into Gateford Hill Care Home a few months ago. I have not seen my friend look this well in many months due to his deteriorating health. I found him chatting with a group of new friends he has made and the staff were so welcoming and friendly. The home is clean
and beautiful with fresh flowers and laughter everywhere. What a lovely place to live. My friend says he loves it there and I can see how happy and well-cared for he is.

Extremely happy with how my mum is being looked after. Staff are friendly and attentive at all times and they are always busy. Always clean everywhere. Everything is explained to me in what is a very upsetting time for me and my family. There is nothing I can find fault with or not be happy with as
any requests/questions are dealt with there and then.

Gateford Hill Care Home is such a welcoming, friendly place. Staff are so caring and always have time for a chat and they genuinely care about their residents, as a visitor, I am always made to feel welcome too.
My friend is so well looked after, the food always looks and smells wonderful and the activities
are amazing. There is always something to do and everyone is encouraged to join in or just watch from the sidelines.
I can't recommend this home highly enough.
Keep up the good work all of you!

Gateford Hill Care Home has a very welcoming feel the moment you walk in the door. My mum was in for respite care and decided to stay! She needs nursing care as she is terminally ill and the care and attention she receives are excellent. The staff are lovely and the food is amazing! Management and admin
staff have been most helpful with getting Mum settled in - it really does feel like an extended family. Thank you all!

My nan loves being here. The home is clean and well looked after; the staff genuinely care, and nothing seems too much trouble.
The food is getting great reviews from my nan - and she has access to more desserts than she can handle!
I love that Nan is comfortable and able to have almost immediate
access to help if she needs it as well as opportunities to partake in activities, (as she can't leave her bed, I think it's wonderful that people can go to her to do hand massages, etc).
It's a pleasant experience visiting here, not what I'd expected when thinking of a care home. It really is a home-from-home.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.678)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.678) out of 10 for Gateford Hill Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 4 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 4 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 5.000 for Gateford Hill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (48 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 48 Ratings = 5
  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 3.678 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gateford Hill Care Home is based on 4 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 = 3.375
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 4 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.303
  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.
