Review from Nicola B (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 May 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
A lovely home and beautiful garden with a friendly and caring staff team. Specialising in dementia care, the residents are encouraged to take part in a varied and full activities and entertainment programme Monday - Friday including trips and visits by local pre-school children. The variety and quality of food are good and the rooms and communal areas are kept clean and homely. Families and friends are welcomed any time and the residents love spending time in the gorgeous garden.

Review from Alan J (Friend of Resident) published on 26 April 2019 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
This was our first visit to this home and our first impressions were very good. Often, there is an unpleasant odour when visiting care homes and we were pleased that this was not a problem. Security looked to be very good and we were impressed that one of your ground staff was able to tell us which building our friend was located. We were kindly shown to our friend's room and although we had known her for over 60 years she was courteous but really did not recognise us. However, we had a pleasant chat with her for about 30 minutes but we realised she was in a world of her own where she was happy.
We were pleasantly surprised by the size of her room and it was kept clean and tidy.
We spoke with both the manager and general manager on the way out and congratulated them on what we had found.

We feel content that our friend is in a place where she is being very well looked after.

Overall Experience
Out of all the care homes I've been to (I have been to a lot) this is up there with the best!
The care home itself is lovely, everyone always has a smile on their face, and the staff are amazing.
The manager is very lucky to have such an amazing team!
I would recommend this care home to anyone.

Review from Rosemary S (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 June 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
Our Mother was cared for at Greenacres Dementia Care Home for about 11 months until she passed away this May. The care she received was fantastic. Mum was very happy there. The activities to stimulate the residents are outstanding. They have a wonderful activities co-ordinator who all the residents love. She arranges outings to the coast, singers to come in for sing-alongs, quizzes with questions tailored to the old days, games and much more. Birthdays, Christmas, Easter and Mothers Day are made special too.
The rooms are very nice with en-suite toilet and washbasins. There are plenty of showers and baths and residents are kept clean so no worries there.
The grounds are amazing and residents are regularly taken outside when the weather permits.
Mum's wishes were respected when Mum became ill - she didn't want to be taken to hospital for any more treatment and was allowed to stay at Greenacres with all her daughters by her side and receive palliative care until the end.
↩Reply from Lynda Luscombe, Registered Manager at Greenacres Care Centre Ltd
Thank you. It is important for us to work with our residents and their families to ensure that we give the care that individuals wish to receive. Mum was a delight to work with and the support from the family has been great.

Review from Caroline T (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 February 2017 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
It is not often you come across such a good, well run organisation and as a care home, Greenacres must be in a league of its own. As soon as you step into the foyer there is a warm and friendly atmosphere. From the senior manager right through to the most junior carer, there is a sense of professionalism and generosity of spirit. Nothing is too much trouble. The carers really seem to have been chosen because they love their work, and the atmosphere there is always positive.
There is always something going on in the lounge. There are so many fun activities thanks to an inspired activities manager. Everyone mucks in staff and residents alike. The meals are tasty and nourishing, served in a light, pleasant dining room overlooking beautiful gardens. There is home made cakes and plenty of choices.

A truly exceptional organisation providing an exemplary level of care.
