Over all time Gateford Lodge Care Home has 7 reviews.
My mother came for a 4 day visit then 4 weeks as a mixture of respite and a trial for the future. From the very first visit it was clear that the team put the residents care at the heart of everything they do. I would highly recommend Gateford Lodge to other families. Not only are the rooms and decor well designed but the meals, activities and conversation were all perfect for my mother. A big thank you to all the team.
We are delighted to hear that both you and your mother had such a positive experience with us. Providing person-centred care and creating a welcoming, supportive environment for...
The food and service has been great , the care has been outstanding can not speak highly enough of the staff and their happy positive attitude which has a big contributing factor to settle my parents into this new life.
It's especially pleasing to know that you felt confident in how their medical needs were managed and that the environment helped...
This new residential care home is promising a bright future for Worksop people. Its decor, layout, lovely spacious rooms (with en suites) and approachability of caring staff is what led to its choice for my mother. New activities for residents to get involved with are being added each month, such as inter-generational music with toddler/baby sessions, dog therapy, crafts, special events on the calendar (Valentines Day afternoon tea, Mother's Day lunch with families) and there will be more to come. Family and friends are welcomed whenever they choose to visit. Living further away it is good to know that my mother is in a safe place where she can rely on staff to support her in a friendly atmosphere and my siblings living nearby love going there. Having taken part in a couple of the activities when visiting and chatting to other residents I would be volunteering if I lived closer!
We're delighted to hear that the home's environment, facilities, and welcoming atmosphere helped you feel confident in choosing us for your mother's care. It means a great deal to our team that you've...
The home is 5* and so are the staff. Nothing has been too much trouble for them. Mum gets regular visits from a District Nurse arranged by the home and her medication is given promptly each day. She's recently had an optician visit to choose new specs.
The home is beautifully decorated with spacious ensuite bedrooms with TV. There're activities/entertainment most days, a fab dining room serving great food, a hair salon with nail bar, TV lounge or a quieter garden room to chill out.
Residents can socialise and still feel independent and most importantly, secure. Thank you to all staff. I highly recommend Gateford Lodge Care Home.
We are so pleased to hear that your mum has settled in well since moving in and that you feel it has been the right choice for her. It is wonderful to know that you are happy with the facilities, care and support she...
Since moving to Gateford Lodge my mother has settled in very nicely and has been eating well and clearly enjoying her meals, which are freshly cooked on the premises. These are served in a beautifully decorated dining room with tablecloths and napkins and even a glass of wine is offered.
The staff at Gateford lodge are so caring and give the residents their undivided attention.
The place is immaculate and the surroundings are beautiful. There is a hair salon, activities room , a tv lounge and a quiet area. I am looking forward to taking my mother out into the garden in the warmer months.
I have visited a lot of Carehomes in the local area and in my opinion Gateford Lodge is superior in every way. This is how all care homes should be.
We are delighted to hear that your mother has settled in so well and that she is enjoying both her meals and the environment within the home. Our colleagues and kitchen teams work hard to ensure mealtimes are a special...

There isn't a cheep way of having your loved ones looked after but moving my mum from a cheeper place was an excellent choice. For my mum to have the best there is. VALUE FOR MONEY. 10/10.
We are delighted to hear how pleased you are with the care and support your mum is receiving and that you have found our home to be welcoming, comfortable and well maintained. It is especially lovely to...
The team at Gateford Lodge have been so helpful and welcoming, right from the initial phone call enquiry. Mum, who is 92 and has dementia, had started having falls, and although she was having care at home, she had socially withdrawn and was beginning to physically and mentally struggle. It was clear that mum was no longer safe at home, but she was so fearful and resistant to even the thought of going into a care home. It was a difficult conversation but with some persuasion my sister and I took her along for a taster day. We all instantly loved everything about the place. The next week mum agreed to 4 weeks' respite care which has just come to an end. Now she has asked to stay on as a permanent resident; she is happy and says she doesn't want to be anywhere else. The transformation in mum has been amazing and this is all thanks to the wonderful team. She is visibly brighter and healthier and has the confidence to engage and make new friends. She is very happy!!
We are so pleased that from your first enquiry and throughout your mum's respite stay, our team were able to support both you and your family and help make the transition a positive experience.
It is...

Meet the Team (2)
As an experienced and passionate healthcare leader with over 15 years in the care sector, I am delighted to be leading Gateford Lodge as Home Manager. My career has been dedicated to driving high standards of care, building strong teams, and fostering positive, transparent relationships with residents, families, colleagues, and regulators.
Throughout my career, I have successfully commissioned services, transformed underperforming homes, and built sustainable, high-performing teams. I believe that excellent care begins with a strong, supportive culture-one where staff feel valued, residents are empowered, and families are fully involved. I place great emphasis on community integration and believe that a care home should be a vibrant, welcoming part of its local area.
My vision for Gateford Lodge is clear: to create a warm, thriving home where residents feel satisfied, valued, and truly at home, supported by a compassionate and motivated team delivering outstanding care every day.
I have always enjoyed being front of house. As a genuine people person, I love welcoming families, supporting residents, and ensuring that everyone receives the highest standard of service.
I am passionate about delivering excellent quality care and work closely with the Home Manager to help lead Gateford Lodge in becoming the best care home in the area.
