Glebe House looks after both my mum and dad. They are well looked after and staff care about all the residents. Lots of activities that mum and dad would not be able to access without being in the Glebe care home. I don't live close by and I now have peace of mind that they are getting great support.

We have nothing but praise for Glebe house. Without their care and compassion, our mum wouldn't be with us anymore. She is a different woman since coming in to live, every member of the team has treated her with such kindness we are truly grateful for everything that they do for her i live 260 miles
away and it would make our lives easier to move her down to us but we would never consider it, the travelling to see her is s small price to pay knowing she is settled and she is well looked after, I wish I could give the staff 10 points, I'm a nurse of over 35 years and I can recognise good nursing care when I see it, I can not recommend Glebe house highly enough

I experience a warmth of kindness and a feeling of care and friendship whenever I go to visit my husband. The staff are so lovely and very hardworking. One lady is a joy to meet, she is one special lady. The Glebe House is not a fancy home but more importantly a friendly home. My husband has come on
wonderfully well and is much happier. I love the staff, they smile and work very hard.

My mum was brought into the care home on 4/1/24 and the management and staff have been first-class helping her to settle in. They have also been excellent to myself and other family members when visiting Mum. Mum is a different person since she was admitted which a lot of is down to the stimulation
she gets from activities and the company. This allows me to be her daughter again which is priceless. I cannot praise everyone enough for their hard work and dedication.
Reply from Angela Nimmo, Manager at Glebe House Care Home

Thank you so much for your positive review. We have all enjoyed getting to know your mum and your family. She has settled in so well at Glebe House and lovely to see the friends she has made. It is lovely to know you feel more like her daughter again. I will share your kind words with our staff who I know will appreciate them very much.

My dad was admitted to Glebe House before I had a chance to visit the home, at a very stressful time for our family. The staff have been very reassuring, and extremely helpful and when I visit my dad, I am made to feel welcome. Glebe House is busy and has a lovely atmosphere which is friendly and caring.
My dad is settling and I feel confident that his needs are being met, and he is being treated with dignity and care. Every member of staff I have met has been approachable and caring. Thank you.

Thank you for your feedback. It is a pleasure to be able to support your dad. I will pass this on to the staff.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I am concerned with the fact that my brother's laundry items are lost or missing. His wardrobe has 22 hangers for shirts/t-shirts and jumpers. Today (27th February 2024) there are 9 empty hangers, meaning that many items are missing. I have raised this matter several times in the past 2-3 years. There
is obviously a problem in this aspect of his care. Please attend to this matter ASAP. Thanks.
Reply from Angela Nimmo, Manager at Glebe House Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our home. I am sorry that your experience with our laundry service has been below the standard we would wish to provide. Please be assured that we will take steps to improve this and it would be helpful if you could speak to the Manager to enable us to address your concerns. We can see that you are happy overall with you and your brother's experience at Glebe House and we would be keen to resolve this for you

The Glebe House Care Home has been amazing from the start. From management meeting the family to keeping us informed all the way. The resident has been quite difficult due to her illness and the staff have been fantastic in assisting to her needs. I would like to thank them all for providing the services
given to not only the resident but family too when visits have been upsetting.

Been here over six/seven weeks and had respect and great care. Staff and managers did their utmost to help with all my health issues. Been in many places all my life, here I feel safe and started to be happier. Still get to do things I'm used to, but it's first time never been judged. Highly recommended.
I am only 44, but all residents lovely, staff great.

Mum and dad have only been in the home a short term, but the care and respect to them have been great. When phoning to ask about them, the staff are only too willing to keep me informed about their general health and daily activities. In this hard time with Covid, the staff are doing an excellent job
looking after both of them.

My experience at Glebe is mostly very positive. The staff, who are very caring and friendly, have helped me through bad periods in my life. The change over in management and staff throughout the years is in my view unacceptable. We need a good manager who is prepared to stay for a good period of time
so that they are able to make positive changes at Glebe.

Some staff don't get the recognition they deserve. Some go above and beyond their jobs to make sure residents are cared for to the best of their ability and beyond, that is my opinion. They should be praised not slated for the care and attention during the Coronavirus, trying to keep the home open,
clean and cared for residents at a vulnerable time.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.856)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.856) out of 10 for Glebe House Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 13 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 13 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 4.856 for Glebe House Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 153 Ratings = 4.856
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glebe House Care Home is based on 13 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 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8, which has been reached with 13 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.
