Gedling Village Care Home

My mum was at Gedling Village Care Home between December 2017 and 11 February 2018 when she passed away. All the staff are wonderfully caring and compassionate, they always treated my mum with the utmost dignity. The food is great and the place is always clean. The staff catered for all my mum's needs in her declining state. The staff became great friends to our whole family and mum in her time of need. I always felt she was very comfortable and well cared for. In the end the home became a real home in every sense of the word to mum, I couldn't have hoped for better.

Sometimes we arrived at meal times and joined her to eat. The food is very good, and the home is clean and comfortable, there is an atmosphere of calm. The rooms are pleasant, and personal items can be brought in. There are photographs of her enjoying the in-house entertainment. The staff are very caring and kind, with absolute respect for dignity. They have looked after her with care and compassion, you can’t ask for more than that.

Wonderful staff, lovely welcome, room beautiful. Overall everyone was so helpful and very friendly, nothing was "false". I have experience in this area. I could not fault anything, the food is lovely, flexible and "not stretched"! The manager is brilliant and also the assistant manager. I would highly recommend anyone for respite or permanent living. Brilliant, well done.

The home is always clean and all other residents always look happy too.

We first were introduced to Gedling Village Care Home who provided respite care for my husband, therefore, enabling myself to go on short breaks. He was suffering from advanced Parkinson's. We were lucky to find such a caring environment for hi and our thanks go to all the staff.

My mum spent a week respite here while my dad was in hospital. My mum had a phobia of care homes but really enjoyed her time here and now has a different view. It's a place where home comforts are thought about, where choices can be made about what they would like to eat, there are activities and always someone around for a chat. My mum has vascular dementia and if there becomes a time when full-time care is needed this would be our first choice. I cannot thank the staff enough for their support and understanding as we go through the unknown and know that there's a place where my mum can be happy should she need it x

My sister-in-law has been in Gedling Village Care Home since June 2016. Her care has been excellent and any concerns we have had have been addressed by the staff. It has been a great comfort to us to know she has been cared for so well.

Spent almost the whole day, stopped there for lunch and tea, it was my aunts birthday and the carers made her feel very special. They have always made me feel wanted when visiting and always provide refreshments at all times of the day, they are very caring towards my aunt and I appreciate them for doing so.

The bedrooms are ensuite and clean and well furnished.

The last 8 days of my mother's life at Gedling Village Court care home was excellent, the staff could not have been better. My mother was a resident for three years during which time the ownership changed, And Pearlcare bought the home. A few months ago the management decided to change the daily routine, I was informed and liked the proposed changes but it was not implemented in a good manner causing staff resignations and a very strained atmosphere and in my opinion poor care. This is now recovering and hopefully will prove a success for residents.

The staff are a great asset to this home. They treat the residents with respect and dignity. The staff are always busy and rushed off their feet. The home is well cared for and nicely decorated.

The staff are very supportive and approachable and when my wife had to be admitted to hospital for an infection, kept in touch and both took and collected her from the hospital. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. My wife was transferred from another care home and has settled in very well. There is a calmness in the care home which is re-assuring to both residents and staff.

In December 2016 and after excellent support and advice from the senior staff at Gedling Care Home, my mother was admitted to the home. In providing further evidence to the local authority it was agreed that my mother needed long-term care and Gedling was the most appropriate place. I have visited the home on numerous occasions and have seen the staff treat my mother with dignity, care and support.

The manager has bent over backwards to ensure the family has been welcomed and supported. My sincerest thanks to an excellent team.

Very may thanks to all the team.

My father has been a resident at Gedling Village Care Home since May 2013. The care he has received has been faultless. He died at the care home on 23/12/16 and again the care and compassion shown to him and myself was exceptional. As a nurse myself, I could see that the carers were genuinely going above and beyond their duties to ensure my father kept his dignity and was looked after. The home is always clean, tidy and the other residents always look happy and cared for. The staff make the place feel like 'home'.

Nothing is too much trouble cleanliness, hygiene and above all else, they care offered us second to none. Thank you.

With senior staff, my wife and I reviewed the condition of my mother in law. The staff explained the measures taken to ensure palliative care, especially since her recent discharge from hospital. We fully concurred with what is being and has been done during my mother in law's stay and we all agreed a DNR policy was best for her, given her condition and circumstances. We are extremely happy with all that is done for her and we are reassured that her comfort in the home is paramount.

Our Aunt lived at Gedling Village Care Home after losing her husband. Apart from ill health, she was also grieving badly. We were her only family and live in Cardiff but we never had any issue with the care she received, we had regular updates and the staff were so kind to us when we visited. Our Aunt was extremely happy at Gedling and spoke of it as home. After a hospital stay, we were concerned they may not have taken her back but the staff insisted that they would continue to care for her at Gedling despite knowing she was very ill. Sadly our Aunt passed away recently and the team at Gedling went above and beyond to make her last days as peaceful and painless as possible. We always felt she was safe in their hands and this gave us peace of mind throughout . I would recommend Gedling Village to anyone and can only hope we will find as good a Care Home in our own area if ever needed.

My gran went into the care home for two-week respite care, and within four days had decided she wanted to stay permanently. She is still enjoying her time there and loves talking to all the other residents and I believe nan realises that care homes are not where the elderly are left abandoned. The staff seem lovely and always polite and helpful, it has been lovely to see her settle in so well and thrive with new people as she had become quite isolated.

Following the hospitalisation of his carer my brother who suffers with Alzheimer's needed urgent respite accommodation and this was provided within two days of contacting Gedling Village. He has settled in very well and is looked after by friendly, caring staff.
