Care and staff are excellent but not good at keeping family up to date despite frequent requests. Food and drink all lovely and plenty of it, home-cooked and tasty and good variety. In the last year, they stopped relatives eating with residents in the bistro and have to sit in the dining room and that's hard and not enough room for more than one person. Very unwilling to allow me to discuss with decision-makers at head office. Feel very uncomfortable and shut out and lost another part of Mum.

Thank you for your review of our care home. I am pleased that you find our staff to be excellent and that you enjoy the food and drink on offer. I am sorry that you find when eating the main meal of the day with your loved one in the dining room is hard, I will continue to review this. We welcome families and friends to enjoy sharing this experience with their loved ones in a variety of ways including Bistro meals and drinks in the Bar Bistro, fine dining for special occasions and family gatherings. This has altered over the last year as we continue with our refurbishment programme. We communicate with families and keep them up to date via different methods and during the Resident of The Day reviews. I welcome the opportunity to discuss this to ensure that we get this right for you. I will share this review with the team.
Excellent facility providing very good care. Can find nothing which I am unhappy about after 7 months of my father being in care here. Would recommend home to whoever asked.

Thank you for your review. I am pleased that your visits are very good. The refurbished areas are making a difference, creating a wonderful environment for our residents and families. We are continuing with our refurbishment programme which is due to be completed by the summer.

My dad first stayed at Groveland Park Care Home in February 2024 for 5 weeks of respite, however, after the 5 weeks he decided he wanted to be a resident as the staff were so caring and he especially felt safe at night, knowing someone was there 24 hours if he needed help with anything. The home was spotlessly clean. All staff from the laundry up to the manager were so friendly and made Dad's life there happy and very well looked after. Thank you all for everything you did for him.
Thank you for your lovely review. Looking after and caring for your dad was a privilege and a pleasure. Knowing that we provide residents and families with peace of mind in a friendly and caring way and allowing them to spend quality time together in the comfort of their home from home is important to us. I will share your review and thanks with the team.
My dad lived here for 14 months until he was asked to leave because they no longer accepted insulin-dependent residents. The care quality varies depending on who is working. While he is better off now, the process of relocating a loved one is stressful and...
Do not put your loved one here thinking it will be their forever home, it probably won't be.
Sorry that you are not happy with the service. I am pleased to hear that your dad is now receiving adequate clinical care which was not possible in a residential home with support from community services. We appreciate the process of any resident having to move homes, not something that we often...
Sorry that you are not happy with the service. I am pleased to hear that your dad is now receiving adequate clinical care which was not possible in a residential home with support from community services. We appreciate the process of any resident having to move homes, not something that we often have to do, and done with their best interest in mind. Our staff turnover is comparable to other homes, we ensure we have adequate staffing levels. Our robust safeguarding policy encourages residents, families, visitors and staff to report concerns, which are managed in line with government and local guidelines when reported. Please email me details of any concerns that you have. At times, those living with dementia require additional support, we work with other agencies to ensure a holistic approach. Our Dementia Champions have enhanced training. For many residents, this is their forever home, having lived here for many years, happy with the care and service.
My Dad moved into Groveland in August 2023 and settled well. Initially everything seemed excellent however as my Dad's condition deteriorated due to his dementia it became apparent that this care home is not equipped to deal with dementia patients with the level of care and compassion required....
Please think very carefully before trusting your loved ones with these people.

I am sorry that you feel that you had to leave this review. We have many residents who are well cared for while living with their dementia, some who have been in the home for many years, they and their families are very pleased with the service and care provided. Unfortunately, at times when clinical issues are coupled with dementia, the clinical safety can become paramount to that resident and is not always be possible to meet those needs in a residential setting even with the support from other professional agencies. Multi-disciplinary decisions are made when we have to ask families to seek an alternative home to manage their loved one's clinical issues, this can be very hard for families to agree with. We consider that resident care, safety and happiness comes above profits which is why, at times, this hard decision must be made. We have many positive reviews from families and residents who have been very happy with the care provided for those living with and without dementia.

Staff are always very warm and welcoming, facilities are excellent with frequent refurbishment and upgrades in rooms and communal areas with very high detail and comfort for residents and their visitors. All residents are known well by name and supported to make their own choices and retain as much independence and autonomy as is safe for them to do so. Residents are offered regular days out and in-house activities that offer a wide variety of fun, and stimulation. Hair and nails are cared for offering a real pampering experience for those who enjoy this. Birthdays are celebrated for all residents with banners and birthday cakes and much celebration to ensure they have a very special day. I think we would all hope to remain in our own homes and enjoy our freedom for as long as we possibly can, but then when that is no longer safe or manageable, Grovelands would be at the very top of my wish list for myself as well as my loved ones! Many thanks to all the staff for all you do.
Thank you for your lovely review. To hear directly from loved ones about our overall service and care provided to our residents is encouraging. Being on the top of your wish list for a choice of home is extremely nice to hear. I shall share this review with the team.
Mum has stayed here at Groveland Park a few times for respite and the home has always provided good care, the staff and manager are lovely and always there if you want to speak with them. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone who has a relative or loved one to stay either permanently or...
Thank you all who looked after Mum this November.
Thank you for your review which I shall share with the team. I am so pleased that you are considering returning to Groveland Park for respite care and your recommendation to others, we always try to accommodate families to return and very much look forward to seeing all our respite residents and families.
Mum seems to be very happy at Groveland. She enjoys the interaction with the staff and is always smiling when I come to visit.

Thank you for your review, we do aim to ensure that our residents are happy and smiling! I will ensure that this is shared with the staff.
Taking my sister to visit our cousin it was wonderful to see how well she had settled in. A lovely little ensuite bedroom with a little attached garden, perfect for her. A very great sense of safety and security and friendship despite her growing 'dementia.' She didn't know who we are till my...
Being able to have a very good meal with her too was an added blessing, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming.
Thank you for your lovely review of our home. We are so pleased that you feel that your cousin has settled in well to Groveland Park. I will share your review with the team.

My mum has been at Groveland Park for almost a year - she was quite poorly and underweight when she arrived. She is now in very good health and is back to her normal weight. She has been very happy there and I have nothing but praise for all the staff who care for her so well. She enjoys all the food which is of a very high quality and she joins in with a lot of activities. Her mind is also much sharper than previously. Highly recommend!
Thank you for your review, it is a very hard decision to place a loved one into a care home. To have such a positive outcome for your mum is testament to the hard work of the whole team at Groveland Park, I will share your review.
A pleasant meeting with my friend in her room, tea and coffee served to us. I was my first visit to the home, I was greeted by the staff, they were polite, helpful and friendly.

We have a lovely visit on Saturday 17th February. The staff at the home were extremely helpful and we had a lovely lunch whilst visiting. There was a very relaxed homely feel and atmosphere. Thank you for making our visit such a pleasure.

Lovely visit to see our aunt who was in the home. Other residents were enjoying activities and it was delightful to see an enthusiastic activities staff member get the ' best' from the ladies. All staff welcoming.

My friend entered Groveland Park in October 2019, suffering from Alzheimer's. We were assured it would be a home for life, providing he didn't require nursing care. Initially, the service was exceptional providing an outstanding level of care, activities and lots of staff interaction. Following Covid my friend's Alzheimer's/Dementia deteriorated and staff seemed to interact with him less. The staff struggled to maintain his personal care. On agreement, he was moved to the Dementia Unit. There was no plan or communication for settling him in. I witnessed two staff on the dementia unit and at both times they were stressed and under pressure, finding it difficult to deal with the residents' needs. My friend's behaviour deteriorated, Groveland's sent him to hospital and the manager refused to have him back. I requested a report on my friend's needs from the manager to help re-home him, but this was never provided. My friend is in another Care Home, settled and the staff can deal with his personal care.

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you felt that we had not met your individual expectations. For those who are living with dementia, every journey is different and unique. We, like all providers, have to at times make decisions that are hard for all involved after exploring as many other resolutions before matters are sometimes taken out of our hands. I am pleased that your friend has settled well into a home that can meet his specialised needs.
I have been here for two months. Everybody has been wonderful. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the lovely review, we do have many residents who come into Groveland Park for respite and decide for themselves to make this their home. Providing a happy home is really important to out team.
This care home is amazing. The staff go over and above, spending quality time with residents. Nothing is too much trouble. I am confident that my uncle is being looked after 100% and we know he is safe.
