Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
We have moved here from Spain with no furniture but Gracewell willingly supplied quality emergency furniture until such time as we can purchase our own.
They have all gone 'the extra mile' in making our transition from living abroad to settling in here as painless and without doubt stress-free as possible.
We love it here.

Mum has been a resident for 2 months and has settled in very well. She is very fond of all the staff and considers them to be a second family. Mum has told me that she couldn't be happier with all the care and attention she receives.

We have two good friends in Gracewell. It is a wonderful home and the care is excellent. The staff are patient and caring. There are excellent activities for residents we have experience of quite a few nursing/care homes and most do not come up to scratch. Gracewell is expensive but I realise the staffing
costs must be high.

While I am generally satisfied with the facilities at Gracewell of Fareham and also the level of care provided by staff I do feel that there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to food. My mother who has dementia often complains about the food provided. I have also spoken to other residents,
several of whom have voiced similar opinions. Also, laundry leaves a lot to be desired.

Gracewell of Fareham is not what I expected a care home to be like. It is a modern, quiet and has a lovely setting with great facilities and staff. I feel happy that my mum is being looked after with the care she receives. I do not worry when I am at home and can sleep at night. Overall an excellent
care home.

Found Gracewell to be very much like a four-star hotel. Always clean and tidy and all staff are very, very helpful and kind and make all residents feel at home.

Review from D H (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 24 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
There have been a lot of changes at this care home over the past few months with a complete change in the management team and appointment of new staff. The changes seem, in general, to be having a positive effect on the home. The carers, in the main, do seem to actually 'care' about their residents,
although we still have some concerns about staffing levels at times. Cleanliness of the home is usually fairly good, although some carpeting and furniture still needs some attention (still seem to be waiting for new carpeting although replaced in some areas). Food always good, with good choices. Father-in-law seems generally content.

Although my mother was only a resident at Gracewell of Fareham for a short period of time, the care she received before she passed away was exemplary. All of the staff that we met were kind and courteous and kept us fully informed in relation to my mother's condition. They treated my mother with respect
throughout, ensuring that she maintained her comfort, privacy and dignity.

My father has only been at Gracewell for a short period of time but we are pleased with the standard of care and the way the staff are treating my father with dignity and respect. He may have dementia but he is an adult and they treat him as such. We are pleased with all the facilities and care he has
received so far. Our thanks to all the staff.

Review from Kay D (Daughter of Resident) published on 3 November 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The bungalow has been made homely with familiar furniture, pictures and ornaments. It is light bright and warm. The level flooring allows use of the 'zimmer' increasing independence indoors.
The move has been traumatic, after a lifetime of rural living, but has been eased with having the family pet
here and the support of friendly and helpful staff.
It is lovely to have meals provided and with the flexibility of dining with others, or, separately.
It is good to have the support of laundry, cleaning and maintenance services.
We enjoyed the evening 'sing-a-long' and the afternoon gardening activity. We appreciated participating in a church service.
We welcome the degree of independence retained within a secure environment, without feeling institutionalised and restricted to one room.
We miss a focal fireplace and fresh air, but are warm all the time.
We have family nearby to take us out to attractive local places, which compensates for the lack of a beautiful countryside view.

On whatever occasion I visit my friend at Gracewell, I am extremely impressed with the whole concept of the home. I hope it is there for me, in case of need, when I attain old age and can no longer take care of myself. It is lovely and the staff are very pleasant.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.853)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.853) out of 10 for Parker Meadows 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.853 for Parker Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (302 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 346 Ratings = 4.853
  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 Parker Meadows is based on 29 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 29 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.

Lukasz Mikolaj Irzabek

Job Title: Home Manager

Before joining the team here, I was an acting commissioning manager. I have a level 5 NVQ in health and social care, as well as qualifications in leadership training. I have also completed the ROSPA Level 3 train-the-trainer course in moving and handling.


Care UK’s values mirror my own, which is one of the reasons why I wanted to work here. It also has a reputation for providing high-quality, person-centred care. As an organisation, there is a strong focus on innovation and a genuine desire to ensure residents’ wellbeing. There is also excellent professional development for colleagues who want to pursue a career in care.


In my role, you need to have compassion and empathy. It is also important to have strong communication skills, patience and adaptability. As with any leadership role, you also need to be resilient and be committed to continuous development.


As a home manager, I am here to support colleagues and to ensure we give residents the very best personalised care, and that they are happy, comfortable and safe. Knowing we make a real difference to people’s lives makes me proud of what we do here. It is also fantastic to see colleagues excel and progress in their own careers.


I have been lucky enough to have many career highlights. Ones that stand out include being able to support homes achieve outstanding CQC ratings and commissioning luxury care homes. Achieving a 10/10 for a home on carehome.co.uk was also another big highlight.


I have lots of interests outside of work, including science, particularly physics and biology. I like art, music and extreme sports, which I balance out with meditation. My focus though, is my family.
