I am very pleased with the care that my Brother is getting now! He is a part of the home and the staff now know him. He goes out on visits. He is now a part of the staff. He is encouraged to take on various tasks to keep him feeling wanted. He goes out on various visits to the seaside or to coffee shops.
His room is tidy, he has a shower now every day! All in all, he is well looked after. I can now relax!

The home has always cared for my relative well even though she can be very challenging. I do not have to worry about her at all. She is happy and content.

On visiting days (sorted in previous days), always when it's ok, shown to empty room so we can have nice visit without being interrupted by other residents.
Always asked by staff if we need (want cuppa).
Questions, queries always answered.
Very pleasant surroundings.

Staff did well in settling the resident, clearly though she was having a bad day through no fault of anyone. Took their time to settle her by engaging with the resident.

I have nothing but praise for the staff and the way my son is cared for in Gilby House Nursing Home. The old-looking building is lovely inside and my son has everything he needs and more. He is not the easiest person to look after but their attitude to him is so happy and caring and he tells them he
loves them. In addition, they have been so kind and helpful to me when I have difficulty visiting (I have Rheumatoid arthritis) and have made sure I have been able to visit and have lovely days with him. My son has to have a special soft diet, but they make sure it is always tasty and nutritious.

Our son has been at Gilby House for two years, when he first came to Gilby House he was not in a very good state of health.
Now two years later he is a lot better and this is due to all the staff, who are excellent.


Good medication and excellent food have really made him a lot better. Gilby House

itself has improved a lot since our son arrived, it is a very good place, and we would recommend it to anyone.


We would just like to say thank you to every one for what they have done for our son and we shall miss the warm welcome we get when we visit. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.741)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.741) out of 10 for Gilby House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 9 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.841 for Gilby House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (94 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 107 Ratings = 4.841

  • b) 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 4.9 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gilby House Nursing Home is based on 9 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.9

    • ii) 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 22 registered maximum number of service users is 4.4, which has been reached with 9 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
