Gorsey Clough Nursing Home

After transferring from a very large corporate-run care home facility, it has been an extremely positive move that could not come soon enough. All the care staff, reception, health care assistants, nurses, the well-being team and the manager have been truly supportive and caring with a genuinely holistic approach to care. The change is going from no visits (even window waving) to being able to have face-to-face visits (at a designated safe distance) within the home has had a truly remarkable impact on my father-in-law and the wider family as a whole. Within a few days of being a resident at Gorsey Clough there was a marked change for the better in personality and overall well-being. The face-to-face visits have been invaluable after not seeing a loved one for months on end and where 'facetime' for Dementia sufferers is not appropriate or viable a lot of the time. Covid awareness and safety have always been a top priority within the home and I have always felt safe on visiting.

Gorsey Clough is a nice nursing home. Great management team and lovely staff which makes it feel like home for my mum. She has done brilliantly over the last 12months with medical needs and walking problems. She has just improved so much! We are very happy with her process. The manager is forward-thinking. Staff are brilliant with my mum as if she is her daughter. She has helped me with knowledge over lockdown. So leaving this review is a pleasure.

My mum has Alzheimer's and has lived at Gorsey Clough for 2 years now, in that time the care, compassion and love she has been given is outstanding. The manager is very friendly and approachable, the staff are all amazing, so caring and compassionate. The 2 ladies who take care of the activities for the residents have made it possible for us to visit our mum at times during COVID by going above and beyond to keep everyone safe - truly exceptional ladies. Thank you Gorsey Clough on behalf of myself, my family and especially my mum - you are all amazing.

My grandma has been at Gorsey Clough since March 2020 (just before the pandemic began). Since moving, she seems much happier, cleaner and well looked after. The staff are really friendly and have been excellent during the pandemic with visiting and video calls. They have kept us updated throughout; uploading pictures, updates and upcoming activities. I feel much more relieved and happy that I know my grandma is in excellent hands and being well cared for. I cannot describe the change we’ve seen in my grandma since moving her and I would highly recommend this care home.

Mum has been living at Gorsey for over 2 years now with Alzheimer's. The care, compassion and love mum has received throughout her time here is second to none. The manager and all the staff are truly amazing and extremely dedicated to making sure the residents are safe, happy, loved and extremely well looked after. It is down to the dedication of everyone that has kept mum and all the residents safe during the COVID. As a family, we also feel well supported in such difficult times. The 2 special activity ladies who have helped make visiting possible and extremely safe for us are just amazing! Thank you to the whole team from bottom of my heart.

This review is a massive thank you from all of the family of our Mum, Mother-in-law and Grandma who we picked up this morning (Tuesday 19th January). She had been in hospital after a fall in mid-November and then at Gorsey Clough for about a month. The care and compassion she has received has been second to none. The staff are all angels and are totally dedicated and professional - a few boxes of biscuits doesn't seem adequate to convey our thanks to them all. We have all missed her but knew that she was completely safe and extremely well looked after in Gorsey Clough. It is down to the dedication of everyone at Gorsey Clough that she has recovered from a serious fall and a number of very serious illnesses. We all thought we may not see her again but she is now back at home being cared for by her family and all thanks to Bury NHS and Gorsey Clough. Remarkable. Thanks again.

We would certainly recommend Gorsey Clough as the nursing home to consider for your loved ones. A well run establishment by the manager.

Gorsey Clough is a very welcoming home where nothing is too much trouble. The welfare of the residents is paramount. They have shown resilience through these uncertain times and have kept families well informed.

My dad has dementia and when he needed to go into a home, it was extremely traumatic for all the family. He had bad experiences at two other care homes before he came to Gorsey Clough. From the very start of his time at Gorsey, he has been so settled and happy. The staff are very caring and make a real effort to get to know the residents and tailor activities to suit their needs and experiences. The home manager is very innovative and approachable, but everyone who works there takes an interest in the residents and seems to want them to be content and happy. I feel very reassured with the level of care he receives and the quality of life he has in Gorsey. Their approach during Covid 19 has been outstanding.

My grandma is a resident at Gorsey Clough, after being in a different care home previous. The change in her was amazing. The staff at Gorsey Clough are so understanding, and the amount of work they put into caring for everyone is second to none. The relationship between staff, residents and relatives is a homely and friendly one. The management always keeps relatives up to date with activities that are happening in the home and any changes that are occurring.

I can’t praise this service enough. The way Gorsey Cloughs staff have risen to the challenges of covid-19 is absolutely amazing. I can’t praise and thank the managers and staff enough.

Our mum came out of the hospital and had to have nursing care. My brother and I looked around other care homes and was impressed by the management, staff and the home itself. We only saw mum for just over a week when the lockdown was unforced, today was the first time I was able to visit. I am now totally reassured we made the right decision. Three members of staff (including the manager) kept us informed regular and updated us. We know, as a family, that we have made the right decision; Mum is settled, happy, comfortable and safe.

Mum went into Gorsey Clough in February, from the minute we visited, we were welcomed by friendly staff. I have worked in care homes, and I was a bit dubious after what I've seen, I have never ever met a manager who is so easy to talk to hard-working and professional. I will never be able to thank each and every one of the staff for the way they look after Mum. I praise the home to everyone I talk to about Mum, which is every day, she's our world.

Booked in again in a weeks time and can't wait.

The whole team are all absolutely fantastic, we could not ask for anything better.

Thank you to the manager and his staff for looking after my Father-in-Law these last ten months (until he sadly passed away 27th March 2020). It was with regret we had to put him in a nursing home but I was very happy with Gorsey Clough after looking around and talking to the manager and the staff. It was so clean and a nice atmosphere. The staff were lovely, friendly and very caring. I could sleep at night knowing that he was well looked after and was treated really well. He could be grumpy at times but that was never a problem to the staff. He loved the food and seemed to be very content there. They keep you informed about everything and are always on hand should you need to discuss anything. Dad was well looked after and cared for and the staff are lovely. Highly recommend.

It was a comfort to know that all the staff cared about her and were very sad when the disease finally took hold and she passed away. I will always look back on the last months of her life and remember the kindness and compassion that staff at Gorsey Clough showed us throughout this difficult time.

Mum has been a resident at Gorsey Clough for about 6 months. The staff and management are very much hands-on ensuring that the levels of care and comfort are consistently maintained. The care provided is professional but friendly. They meet Mum's needs and nothing is too much trouble. Everyone has been very patient encouraging her to eat to the point where she now has a go at feeding herself. The recent changes to the decor and furnishings have been done thoughtfully and aimed at the residents, who suffer from dementia, creating a warm environment. All staff are approachable and are always there to help with any concerns regarding Mum's health and wellbeing. Knowing she is happy and safe has always been my priority and I am happy to leave her in the care of the Gorsey Clough team.

The care provided is professional and very friendly. Every need is met, and nothing is too much trouble. I am so happy that my mum receives such wonderful care.

The staff at Gorsey Clough are some of the most patient people I have ever met. When faced with residents with challenging behaviour, they are only ever kind and friendly. They have been lovely with our Mum. It's worrying when your loved one is in residential care and the staff just make this process easier for all concerned. Thank you for all you do.
