Gorsey Clough Nursing Home

I also believe that should my wife be doing this review for me she would have written and reviewed exactly the same.

They recently received an award which is thoroughly deserved for all their hard work for the residents in their care.

Gorsey Clough is a wonderful care home and I consider myself fortunate that my husband is being so well cared for. He is treated as an individual and particular care is taken with his clothes and appearance. Staff are sensitive and caring when he is resistant to help and he is shown much kindness and support. The home is beautifully decorated extremely clean and comfortable. Leadership is exemplary!

Nursing & Caring staff, are always on hand to ask questions & ring if there is an issue with regards my mum, I can not recommend the home & facilities enough.

All the staff at Gorsey Clough have looked after both my mum and dad with the utmost care, dignity, attentiveness and kindness. From the nurses, the carers, admin, management and the cleaners, all have made myself and my family feel welcome within the Gorsey community. Thank you for all you do.

My mum has been at Gorsey Clough for around 8 months now, and we've been thoroughly impressed. The staff are very caring and considerate, treating all of the residents with respect and dignity. It is obvious they really do care about the residents and their job, and go above and beyond. The needs of my mum are always met with compassion, and no task is too much for staff. Great amount of activities involved. Have never had a problem with cleanliness, very clean and tidy. Staff are always welcoming to visitors, providing good pastoral care when needed. Good to have a doctor present each week, with the option to have a hairdresser do their hair on site.

Can't fault the care my mum receives. Very caring, friendly and helpful staff from domestics to management and admin staff. The recent refurbishments have been carried out with minimal disruption to residents.

A MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone!

My mum spent 7 months at Gorsey after an unhappy time at another care home. She was cared for amazingly. The staff are caring, patient and loving. I was so happy she was there. In August she had a stroke and after 2 days in hospital she went back to Gorsey for end of life care. The care that she and my family received was unbelievable. They were supportive, caring and made the whole dreadful experience a lot easier than it could have been. Myself and my family are so grateful to this amazing care home.

My mum has been a resident of Gorsey Clough, for over 4 years. The staff there go above and beyond to look after Mum's needs, which can change daily. The manager is very proud of his staff. Any problem is sorted out promptly. I couldn't ask for better, thank you all.

The place and care are outstanding and highly recommended for anyone looking to place a relative into long-term care.

Staff deserve medals for doing this job with such compassion.

Thank you to everyone at Gorsey Clough Nursing Home for the outstanding support and care that was provided to my mother whilst she was there. She had to be moved from another home, which fell short on so many levels. Fortunately, we had the complete opposite experience here and couldn't have asked for more. It is the people that make any business and here you have the most welcoming and friendly staff, who will always go above and beyond, to deliver a five-star service.

Due to my mother's rapidly deteriorating condition (end-stage cancer), she had to temporarily move into a nursing home, whilst suitable changes were made at her own home. The registered manager helped to make all the relevant arrangements to have Mum transported to Gorsey Clough and ensured that she had a lovely room available for her stay. The nurses, health care assistants and everyone my mum came into contact with throughout her stay were absolutely wonderful. They were; extremely caring, thoughtful, responsive and kind and nothing was too much trouble. During her stay, staff would often pop in for a chat to see how she was doing, which helped to keep her spirits up, whilst the food was always varied and lovingly prepared by the resident chef. Sadly, my mum has now passed away, but if you are in the process of trying to find a suitable place for your loved one, then you can't go wrong with Gorsey Clough.

The end-of-life care my dad received and the support for me was 5 star.

There are duty boards at the entrance showing minimum and actual staffing levels and, without exception, there are more nurses and carers on duty than the minimum required. Can you imagine that being the case in a corporate-owned home? Credit to the owners who've employed an outstanding manager and backed him financially to provide an excellent caring environment.

Mum moved to Gorsey Clough in February 2022 following DTA and a long stay in Royal Bolton Hospital. It was a shock and very distressing for Mum not to be going back to her own home and it was very difficult for me to navigate what was going on as communication between Bolton Council SW, CHC and the hospital was non-existent! It took almost 3 months to get Mum assessed and decided that she needed 24-hour nursing care. Trying to view a care home during COVID was difficult and I needed to get mum close by. I had visited Gorsey and was struck by how warm and caring the Home felt and they had assured me they would contact me if a place became available thankfully after 1 week at 4 Seasons. The transition was seamless for Mum. I find all staff, office, nursing, carers and management so welcoming and caring. Always available for any questions or help. Gorsey Clough maintains the warm caring family atmosphere while being highly professional. Cannot thank them enough.

The experience my dad has received from the very first day has been absolute first class. The care is of the very highest standard, with experienced staff who exemplify professional and patience. From the moment we selected Gorsey Clough as the place for my dad to be cared for, each and every member of staff have made the overall experience so smooth and easy to deal with. It is always a difficult decision to have to make and so hard to choose between care homes on paper, but knowing what we do now, we certainly made the right choice and would make the exact same decision all over again. Always a horrible situation to be in having to place a loved one into someone else's care, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gorsey Clough if you have the unfortunate decision to make too.

My dad has been a resident at Gorsey Clough for nearly 2 years. The progress my dad has made within that time has been amazing, he has gone from being quite angry and frustrated after his stroke and losing his mobility and some short term memory loss, also at the beginning refusing to eat. He is now a lot calmer, less frustrated, no longer on medication for depression and eats pretty much everything put in front of him. I have a lot of praise for the manager and all the staff that look after my dad from the day we viewed the home and the knowledge that the manager had about the type of stroke my dad had and the side affects and how to deal with that was very reassuring and out of the one meeting probably gave us more information than the hospital ever did. To the every day care of my dad and how they have all got to know him and know how to deal with my dad to get him to corporate on his down days and they all know his sense of humour and have a good laugh with my dad and make him smile even on a bad day.

I would just like to say thank you to the team at Gorsey Clough for looking after my grandad. Thank you for allowing our family to arrange special visits around Birthdays and special occasions. The home has a lovely atmosphere upon arrival and the staff usually go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed as part of the Gorsey family. The parking facilities have massively improved since and the home has since started further improvements, creating a great vision of what the future holds at Gorsey. Lovely rural location with stunning bedroom window views of the farm animals. It would be nice if we could possibly add more homely individual touches to the residents' rooms if possible if health and safety allows us too as I feel this is the only small thing missing. But that's just my personal preference and it doesn't effect the rating I would give. The food looks delicious every time I visit, nice portion sizes and a good variety. Thank you for looking after him and cheering him up daily.
