Gracewell in Lane End has been very caring and considerate with my dad, who came in to live there in the middle of the COVID crisis. They have excellent safety protocols and we are relieved that my dad is really cared for so well.

My experience of visiting my mother at Gracewell during these difficult times has been very good. The staff are very efficient and take all the social distancing plus PPE very seriously. But despite this, the visit has been very enjoyable and worthwhile. In terms of would I recommend this care provider the answer is yes, as the standards are very high but of course it does come at a cost that not all can afford.
Here at Gracewell of High Wycombe, we have worked hard to ensure all of the residents receive the highest quality of care and security within our home. Thank you for your kind words, these will be shared with the team and we look forward to welcoming you back to our home soon.
I think my husband is as comfortable as he could be here. He has played a lot of sport in his life. He was a very good cricketer and footballer so he would appreciate any sports conversation or TV programmes.

My mum has lived at Gracewell High Wycombe for the last three years with dementia. They care with such dignity and has been exemplary and continues to be so. All staff go above and beyond to show kindness, consideration and empathy with our loved ones during which can be an extremely difficult period for a family. It's spotlessly clean, very friendly and a safe environment or a family member and I have no hesitation in recommending.

It was an eye opening experience. Staff were very kind and friendly. Activities and food were amazing and the manager was very kind and knowledgeable. I could not stop myself from writing this review as everyone looking for a care home must visit this home to see for themselves. It is an outstanding care home and is well managed.

I was very impressed with the precautions taken by the home and the arrangements put in place to ensure residents could safely receive visits from family and friends.
The policy Gracewell have introduced works very well and ensures safety for both residents, staff and visitors.
On a more general note, Mum has now been living at Gracewell for two years. Throughout that time she has been very well looked after. Most importantly she is happier, less lonely and physically very well.
The home have always kept me informed of any developments and made me welcome when visiting.
Since Mum’s move to Gracewell, I feel reassured that she is now being well cared for and I have no worries about her on a day to day basis.
At Gracewell of High Wycombe, our ultimate goal is to provide the best possible level of care we can. From our carers, nurses and activities team, we strive to achieve a sociable and comfortable community our residents can call home. We are so happy to see the improvements made by your mother.
Before coming to Gracewell, I spent two years looking for a suitable care home to suit my requirements, and I know I have now succeeded. I have been living here for ten months, and I am really happy!

My parents moved to Gracewell at Lane End nearly a year ago, and could not be happier with their choice of care home. They have told me many times that they feel as though they are permanently on holiday! I am very impressed with everything too, especially the staff, who are obviously well-trained and extremely caring. They somehow manage to maintain the highest standards even when times are challenging.

Fifteen months on life is still difficult and distressing for my mother at times, but she has a much better quality of life now than she did when she was living at home. She is eating better, healthier, no longer having frequent falls, has opportunities for social interaction with residents and staff and sometimes participates in singing, seated exercise and ball game sessions. She has access to services such as hairdressing and chiropodist.
Due to Covid-19, visitors are not allowed at present but staff have arranged weekly video calls and family can phone any time if they have concerns. Mum misses family visits but tells us how well the staff at looking after her.
In normal times, visitors including children and even the family dog are made most welcome.

Mum was a resident for six months until she recently passed away. I spent a lot of time visiting and always received the warmest of welcomes. The staff are friendly, kind, and caring and were so supportive of Mum. They encouraged her to have her hair and nails done and join in with activities.
During the last few difficult weeks, the staff went over and above to make sure we were able to video call Mum. She was always treated with love, respect, and dignity and as a family, we received so much kindness and support.
Firstly, please accept our sincere condolences for your recent loss and thank you for taking the time to share your experience of Gracewell of High Wycombe – particularly at such a difficult time. The team here are so grateful that your mother had such a positive experience of the home and this extended to family members and friends.

My mum has been at Gracewell High Wycombe just over a year. Looking back on when we first visited, we had a very good feeling as soon as we walked in the door. The home is modern, light, spacious, and has excellent facilities. We have been so impressed with the care Mum has received, always delivered with compassion and a smile! The staff are very well trained and are always very helpful. The communication from the home generally is excellent but particularly when it comes to Mum's overall care. We really appreciate the opportunity to sit down regularly with the staff to review Mum's care plan. The bedrooms are spacious and light, and every floor has outside viewing/sitting balconies which we love. The activities are run by an enthusiastic team who ensure all residents get as much stimulation as possible. I have even been known to engage in a little karaoke myself much to my Mum's amusement! Overall I am delighted we chose Gracewell High Wycombe as our care home of choice.
Our team here at Gracewell of High Wycombe are so grateful for your comments. Our activities co-ordinator and the team work hard to provide engaging and stimulating activities for all of our residents, we are so glad to hear the activities provided are one of your favorite elements of our home.
Since admission just over a week ago mum seems happy and comfortable and relieved of the constant care and attention around her. The communication from the staff back to me both by phone and email has been very good and informative, both from the transition from independent living and ongoing care...
For example, they gave me a very thorough explanation of the outcome of the GP’s visit yesterday, and a day or so earlier they had updated me also on other needs identified – thanks so much this has been a godsend, from where my sister and I were, just a week or so ago, removing the increasing burden of care that had fallen on us both.
I noticed tonight that she had her nails painted by one of the staff, I could quite work out who though. Thank you all and please thank the wider team for all that you are doing.
Once mum begins to feel stronger, we are hoping that she will begin to take on some of the activities on offer during the day.
Gracewell of High Wycombe appreciate moving into a care home can be an unsettling time. This is why we take the time to engage with family members and friends of the resident to make the process as smooth as possible, to get to know the resident on a personal level. We are pleased to hear your mother has settled in well.

As Home Manager, the most important part of my role is to make sure residents feel safe.
A big part of what I do is supporting my team. In particular, helping them navigate the healthcare sector, which is always growing and developing. With that in mind, you also need to be well organised and approachable. It helps that I can draw on my 15 years of experience and level five qualification in leadership.
When I first joined Care UK, I did so because its ethos reflected my own values and beliefs. A career highlight for me is the fact I have been able to work my way up through dedication and learning. Now, I feel proud to be part of a strong team that I have also helped grow. For us, it is about celebrating each other’s achievements and seeing how we can do even better.
Every day is different, but my favourite part is being able to spend time with residents and their families. I love finding out about their lives, getting to know them and listening to their wealth of knowledge.
Outside of work, we are an adventurous family and enjoy road trips and holidays. Having a very sporty son also means we spend a lot of time out and about supporting his activities.
