Greenacres provided the most outstanding, loving care for my mother-in-law in the nine days before she sadly died. The staff were always there when they were needed and were always looking to see if they could help. The care was second to none.

Reply from Kristyna Hunt, Communications Executive at Greenacres

Thank you so much for reviewing our home at what must be a very difficult time for you and your family. It is pleasing to hear that our staff team provided you all with support and care throughout your mothers-in-law's stay. Feedback is extremely important to us and we will make sure that your comments are passed on to the whole team.

My Mum was at Greenacres for approximately 10 months until, sadly, she passed away January 2018. The care staff were outstanding, they couldn't do enough for my Mum whilst she was living there and up to the last few days of her life. Absolutely brilliant. We then got a place for our Step-father in February
2018. We wouldn't think of putting him in any other residential home. Good food, great staff and exceptionally helpful.

My uncle has been well cared for during his 2-year stay at Greenacres and would certainly recommend the home to my family looking for residential or respite.


Unfortunately, he passed away in March with dignity with the wonderful care from all staff. Thank you.


If I had to mention a slight negative,

It would be more regular activities for residents but understand that staff are always busy.

Very welcoming place. All residents cared for with utmost respect by caring staff. Food all cooked on premises and appetising. As I write we are being entertained by a very good singer for the homes open day that's open to everyone. I recommend this home from home to anyone.

My uncle was here for two years and in that time we found the standard of accommodation, food, etc excellent but above all the standard of care and attention to the resident's needs was very, very good.
My uncle passed away in February this year but myself and family still visit frequently to see other
residents who we got to know and nurses too.
Very pleasant atmosphere to be in. The regular activities and parties we attended, together with sing songs and choir visits etc, were particularly nice occasions too.

Dad only reluctantly accepted the need to move into a care home from the house he'd lived in for the last 60 years, however, the warm welcome from staff, the facilities at Greenacres and the general atmosphere helped him to settle in quickly. Two months in he is happy and making new friends. He enjoys
the food and joins in some of the activities.

The care home's staff are welcoming to visitors as soon as you walk in the door, and they do as much as possible to make sure each visit is as if it were at Grandma's own home.
Tea and coffee are always available, we can bring sandwiches in and even our family dog.
Grandma's room is always clean and
tidy, the menus have a good variety and Grandma always enjoys her meals, and there is always someone around to help if needed.

Mum has been in Greenacres for approx 4 years. During that time she has been looked after very well and seems very happy with all aspects of care. The staff are all very attentive and well trained. Prior to Mum going to Greenacres, we had visited other care homes in the area and chose Greenacres - a
decision we are still pleased with.

My mother resided at Greenacres for the best part of two years until she had to move to a nursing home for nursing care. The home was always clean and Mum had a good sized, well-decorated room, that was always clean and cosy. All the staff, from manager to care staff and maintenance man were always
pleasant and helpful to my mum and to family and other visitors. All in all, the home is as near to a home from home as anywhere could be.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.778)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.778) out of 10 for Greenacres 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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 4.778 for Greenacres is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 396 Ratings = 4.778

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greenacres is based on 34 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 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, which has been reached with 34 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.
