My father has received excellent care. The staff are caring and friendly, they deal with his problems with a smile and kind words.
He has now started to get involved with activities thanks to the staff encouraging him.

My mum has been there nearly 18 months now and she has enjoyed every day. At the moment we cannot get in to visit but she is so happy she says not to worry. The team there do a first-class job, and this has been every day since day one. I may need to book my place there! If anyone is thinking of a member
of their family needing a care home Glenvale Park is top notch.
Reply from Carley Calder, Home Manager at Glenvale Park

Well this has made me smile! Thank you so much for your kind words. It is wonderful to know that Mum is so comfortable here, and enjoys living at Glenvale, we enjoy having her here. I shall read your review to my team, I have no doubt that it will make them smile too.

My mother moved into Glenvale Park on the 15th of January 2024. The moving from hospital to Glenvale was handled brilliantly by Glenvale staff who have made my mum very happy and settled. Whenever I have visited Mum, the staff have been very welcoming. The premises are kept beautifully and the residents
all appear happy and settled. My mum, although very old, has settled in and made new friends very quickly. Thank you all for all of your hard work and support.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My father has been a resident at Glenvale Park for almost 18 months now. During that time he has been cared for very well. The staff and management have always been kind, polite and most willing to meet my father's needs. Being a newly built home, the rooms are well fitted out and to a good standard.
The bathroom is spacious which is ideal for my father who is a wheelchair user. Overall, food and drink is good quality.

Good rooms, excellent care staff, kept clean in all areas.
Menus not for everyone, but it must be difficult to cater for every taste.
Senior team very helpful and caring.
Mum does not use the facilities, but the opportunities to interact seem very good.

From the first initial tour, to my nan's moving-in day for her respite visit, everything has been perfect. Nothing is too much trouble for all the staff. My nan's respite stay was so successful we have now chosen for her to be a permanent resident. First-class service from all involved in running the
home.

I am always greeted with a smile from the staff and before I see my mother one of the staff will always give me an update on my mother's condition. Nothing is too much trouble when I visit and ask for anything. I always find all of the staff to be friendly and I find myself on first-name terms with
them all. They are a huge credit to the home!

Every visit is welcomed by staff. They are always friendly and helpful. We get good feedback as to the health and wellbeing of my mother-in-law. She seems very happy on each visit and has high praise for her care. Her room is clean and well kept and she enjoys the mementos she has in there. We are able
to take her out for meals on occasion.

I cannot speak highly enough of Glenvale Park. My father was cared for, before he passed away, at Glenvale for a short period of time. He was treated with dignity, respect and the care he received was to a very high standard. Nothing was too much trouble. We knew he was safe there. As a family we felt
we were also looked after and kept up to date every step of the way. My mother is also a resident at the moment and being very well cared for.

Review from Sue M (Daughter of Resident) published on 21 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
While my father was safe and cared for by the staff at Glenvale I do not think that the package we were sold reflects the actual care that was received.
My father was left to his own devices and according to him never encouraged to join in with activities etc. He says the food was monotonous, cold
and of poor quality. Also not enough for him and he lost half a stone in 2 weeks.
It's only a little thing but my dad loves his daily paper and whilst this was promised on the tour he never actually got one and had to beg steal or borrow one every day. There were several other issues that all added up to us being dissatisfied.
Reply from Paul Bundyford, Manager at Glenvale Park

Thank you for taking the time to review Glenvale Park and we are sorry our high standards of care have not been met on this occasion. I will discuss your feedback regarding our food with our kitchen team, where our menus are prepared freshly on site each day, taking into account our residents preferences and dietary requirements. We always have alternative dishes to our menus available for residents to request. We encourage residents to participate in our daily, weekly and monthly activities, however we respect their wishes if they prefer not to take part. We apologise that there wasn't a personal newspaper ordered for your father, where we provide a range of newspapers and magazines for our residents. We will be in touch with you to discuss your concerns in more detail, to ensure these issues do not occur going forward.

From the initial visit to my Mum's 10-day short stay as a permanent resident, the experience of Glenvale was exceptional. The management of the care home was excellent, with attentive and caring staff in all departments, who seemed genuine and trained to a high level. Being a new build, the layout and
design of the home was delightful - comfortable, clean and bright. The honour and love placed on my Mum in her 10-day stay will stay with me for a long time. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.813)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.813) out of 10 for Glenvale Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 41 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.813 for Glenvale Park is calculated as follows: ( (406 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 480 Ratings = 4.813
  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 Glenvale Park is based on 39 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 39 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.
