Always friendly, always have time for the residents and visitors, efficient. Quality of care is excellent. Reassuring to know your relative is being looked after with such care, dignity, time and affection. Wonderful. I haven't eaten the food but I'm told it's beautiful - can't ask for better.

My mum initially went to Gateford Hill Care Home for a week's respite but has ended up staying full-time in the dementia ward. The care she has received is excellent, the staff are lovely and really need to know Mum and how to get the best out of her. The receptionist and manager have been very helpful
when I have had questions or issues and I have been very satisfied with the care my mum has received. I would definitely recommend Gateford Hill Care Home for dementia care.

I can only describe the people who run this care home as fantastic, from the management team, the carers and the activity ladies; everyone treats each resident with respect. Plus, you are always welcomed with a smile. It really is a home from home. Everyone of the staff treats the residents with dignity
and respect. Everywhere is clean and fresh, and the meals are excellent. I thank you all for the care my husband receives.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My daughter has lived at Gateford Hill Care Home for many years. I have always found the staff to be very caring and supportive of her needs. Since the new management has taken over, the building has been improved to a high standard and activities have improved 100%. Both management and staff have treated
my daughter with respect and are always looking out for her as she is non-communicative. The nursing staff are wonderful and keep me informed of my daughter's welfare and act swiftly if she is ill. My daughter is very happy there and so am I.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We initially chose Gateford Hill for some respite care for my father. It soon became apparent that the care he was receiving was far more comprehensive than we could give at home. The staff on Lindrick were genuine and caring and we felt that they definitely had my father's best interests at all times.
All our wishes were respected and when my father passed away, the staff were wonderful and made his passing a much easier process. A huge thank you to all staff for excellent care.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My cousin is forty-four years old and is currently residing at Gateford Hill. She has terminal cancer as well as ongoing poor mental health. After spending time in hospital and the hospice, as well as periods of time at home, she now accepts and is coming to terms with the reality of never going home
again. Gateford Hill is now her home. I cannot thank them enough for their compassion, kindness, love and care. It is absolutely faultless. She is happy, safe, comfortable and settled. Nothing is too much trouble. During times of pain and sadness, they are there for her. Thank you for being so wonderful.

Gateford Hill was chosen specifically for my sister's needs after researching homes. Whilst we have only been with them for a short while, from first contact to the present day I can only praise the dedication, professionalism and care they give, not only to the residents but the family as well. During
lockdown, I felt secure knowing that my sister was safe and well taken care of by an excellent team.

The staff are always pleasant and helpful. The home is always clean, tidy and welcoming. Residents are well cared for and their needs appear to be met very well. Regular updates on residents wellbeing are given. Dad has improved during his stay and seems to be happy and settled.

My mum moved into this care home over two years ago, it was a huge thing for her after living alone. She settled in after just a few weeks and calls it home. The staff are amazing and they knew just how to help her settle and reassure her. She is very very happy and she feels loved and cared for.

I have a great regard for all the staff at Gateford Hill. The residents are well cared for and comfortable. The staff are friendly and approachable. They have been absolute angels all through the pandemic and have worked tirelessly throughout. Measures are in place for visitors - PPE provided and lateral
flow test before visit.

At first, I thought it was a nice place. Staff were friendly and helpful but after long hours sat on my own with only water to drink I felt abandoned and lonely. I never got what I ordered for meals and tea time was very sparse. Drinks were often far between. Buzzers going all day and night.

this care home really is the most caring of homes. My Mum has spent the last 6 weeks of her life being looked after by a wonderful team of people. We all felt part of their family and we cannot thank them enough. You do a most special job and as a family, we appreciated everything you did to care for
us all.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother was a resident at Gateford Hill for 4 years until her recent death in November 2019. We got to know the staff and the care home well from our twice-weekly visits. At all times the home was calm and relaxing which suited my mother extremely well. The staff went about their jobs with efficiency
and confidence. The home always seemed to have sufficient staff on duty which helped to sustain the calm atmosphere. Although obviously busy at times the staff never seemed to be rushed into frantic activity. My mother was treated with dignity, respect and patience despite occasionally being difficult to manage towards the end as confusion and incomprehension sometimes affected her. She was blind during all of her time in the home but this was also managed by the staff effectively. Food provided was satisfactory. Medication was given appropriately and well-monitored. Medical professionals were called in quickly when required. We were happy for my mother to remain in this care home.

Lovely warm and welcoming home. Smelled of toast when I first visited unannounced. Food was of a very high standard and brought to mum hot in an appetising way. All the staff spoke to me and greeted me in reception. Staff are lovely, friendly and will help you in any way they can, always making it feel
like home. Personal items are welcome to give the rooms a homely feel, and I visited whenever I wanted and stayed as long as needed too.

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.
