This is another wonderful and reflective review of our home and staff. We are striving to do our best in all areas to ensure the residents and staff have a better environment to live and work in.
Staff are always welcoming. My relative always looks presentable. Overall, the appearance of the home is good.

This wonderful resident has been with us since 2016. It has been a pleasure to be part of his journey. Our team work very hard to make the home a comfortable place and they care for every resident with the same dignity and respect they deserve.
Mum is cared for very well and we are always kept informed of her care and welfare. The staff are very caring and very friendly and Mum likes them all.

This is a really true reflection of our home and team. Thank you. It is lovely for the team to read how appreciated they are.
Mum was swiftly admitted for respite care, with much kindness. All staff members treated her with care and kindness throughout her three-week stay.

It is really good for the team to have such positive comments. They all do their very best to deliver care to our residents in a dignified and respectful way, whilst building good relationships with them and their families.
The staff have been wonderful, attentive and caring and can't praise them highly...
Thank you to you all.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful review, which is truly reflective of the hard work and dedication of all the team here at Gainsborough Care Home.
Through shortages of staff, PPE and groceries etc, the team at Gainsborough Care Home have coped admirably and with a smile. 10/10 for their attitude through adversity. Thank you all on behalf of my mum and her family for doing such a great job.

We are lucky to have a very good team at Gainsborough, who have worked very hard during Covid. We have always done our best to deliver an excellent service to our residents and their families and have done all we can through this difficult time to ensure the residents have our best attention at all times.
My father has been a resident at Gainsborough Care Home for the past year. He has a lovely clean, bright room with everything he needs. The staff are kind, caring and treat him with dignity and respect. He also enjoys all the tasty home-cooked meals which are provided.

The staff were always kind and caring and treated her, and from what I saw the other residents, as individuals. Little touches like daffodils on St Davids' day showed how much staff listened and understood what was important to the residents.
It is always nice to read such a positive review. The staff at Gainsborough Care Home do all they can to make the residents feel at home. The staff always listen to the needs of the residents and our activities coordinators always make sure we celebrate calendared events and indeed work very hard in organising entertainment and other activities and outings for the residents.
As soon as my mum said 'can I go home now?' (to Gainsborough) we knew she was settled and happy. Of course, she has blips as in missing her house, but then she will compare the care, attention and life at Gainsborough as she would imagine what life would be like being on a cruise liner.

We pride ourselves in having a homely, caring atmosphere and I am so pleased Mum feels at home here at Gainsborough.
Having promised my mother I would never send her to a care home, we could no longer care for her so we chose Gainsborough.

We were so impressed with the care and attention given to her, and she soon settled in and we were happy knowing she was being well cared for and loved. The staff were always available to discuss any problems that arose.
It was an absolute pleasure to care for Mum.
Throughout Mum's residency at Gainsborough, she has been very happy. Many of the staff have worked there for a long time so they know Mum well, which is important for any resident. The staff are kind, helpful and jolly, which makes the place homely. As visitors, we always feel welcome.

Under great management and leadership and all the team members. We can highly recommend Gainsborough Carew Home as an excellent Carehome. Our dad was a resident from July 2020 until a few weeks ago. Dad was greeted with the warmest of welcomes and very soon settled into the daily routine with loving care and understanding of all the carers. Dad needed palliative care towards the end of his life and we can only say a massive thank you to you all.
Thank you for your kind words, it means such a lot to the team. It was a real pleasure to care for Dad, he was a big presence in the home and is very much missed.
Not enough staff to give the clients some proper 1-1 time to talk to them. Very, very rare to be offered some fresh fruit.

We are sorry you feel staff don't have one to one time with your mum but I can reassure you that Mum is offered a full activities programme and staff always pop in for a chat. Fresh fruit is always available and I will ensure Mum is aware of this should she want some.
My mother broke her leg in 2019 after the last in a long series of falls. The care home she had been in previously could not accept her back with increased disability, we were offered 2 different care homes within Swanage - I am so glad we chose Gainsborough Care Home!

My mother broke her leg in 2019 after the last in a long series of falls. The care home she had been in previously could not accept her back with increased disability, we were offered 2 different care homes within Swanage - I am so glad we chose Gainsborough Care Home! My mother thinks she is in a hotel, the food is wonderful and everyone is so kind. I have also seen how good it is when visiting. I now have no fear of going into care myself if I ever need to.
So happy to hear that you are happy with the care and support your mum receives. Thank you so much for the lovely review and I will enjoy sharing it with the team.
Dad's only been in the home for a short space of time. I love the way the staff treat my dad. I did have one issue with Dad. However, I spoke to management, and it was dealt with and rectified immediately, and I was very happy and satisfied. We undertake the difficulties when items go missing,...
Dad's only been in the home for a short space of time. I love the way the staff treat my dad. I did have one issue with Dad. However, I spoke to management, and it was dealt with and rectified immediately, and I was very happy and satisfied. We undertake the difficulties when items go missing, however, we do feel that more could be done to locate them as we are told his room has been searched, and then we're told they've turned up in his bedroom weeks later. Overall, however, we are very satisfied with the care given to Dad.
I am also pleased to hear that management dealt with your issue swiftly, and you were satisfied with the outcome.
The staff and management are always efficient and helpful. The property and rooms are clean and tidy. I have said to my two sons if anything happens to me they are to leave her at this home. She seems content and happy. Also, the grounds are kept very neat and tidy.

It is an absolute pleasure to care for her here at Gainsborough.
My mother isn't the most easiest to please, but she feels at home here due to the compassion and care of the staff.

I would recommend this establishment to anybody wanting a comfortable, safe and relaxing environment. The staff, for the most part, are excellent, led by one of the best people I have ever met.
It's great to hear how happy you are here at Gainsborough.
I am so relieved I have Mum settled in Gainsborough. I live overseas, trying to get the help Mum needed to stay safe in her own home was almost impossible to organise and manage without regular trips back home, so to know she's somewhere safe, being well cared for and happy is a huge relief with...
I find it very hard putting into words how grateful I am to find a place where she is happy and being well cared for. It took a long time to find Gainsborough, as her brief stays in other facilities had not worked out.
We strive to have great relationships with family members and we enjoy reading your lovely emails to mum just as much as she loves receiving them.
