Review from Jo D (Sister of Resident) published on 14 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Because of the circumstances in which we found ourselves there was little time to find a safe place for my sister. Knowle Gate was one of many homes we contacted and visited over a few days to see which could meet my sister's needs. It was a hard and upsetting time physically and emotionally which was
genuinely understood and appreciated by the staff. From first visiting, being introduced to the home as well as meeting the manager and making all the necessary arrangements my sister was being welcomed into Knowle Gate within a matter of days.
I am impressed with the care given, in particular the call from the care home's GP. Once he had seen my sister and read her notes he phoned asking about her so that he could understand and enhance the bare list of her medical history from the previous GP into some concrete knowledge and context to get to know her better. Living with dementia for both of us has been hard, Knowle Gate has made it so much easier for us both thanks to all the staff.

A superb experience with the team at Knowle Gate. From initial enquiry at the weekend through to taking my mother in as a resident in two working days, the team could not have been more helpful, reliable and very compassionate. With clear information and support with all the necessary documentation
I needed, all the team were brilliant. What impressed me, even more, was the approach to understanding all the aspects of my mother's life that were important to her, and using these to create a welcoming pack. It was clear from the moment we walked in that they had listened and really cared about making Mum's arrival as smooth and happy as possible. I was incredibly humbled by the number of people who helped out with this process - Notable people being the manager and the team on the day Mum went in - Thank you all for your help and support!

My Auntie has been a resident at Knowle Gate for several months having suffered great loss and leaving her home and friends in a different part of the country. She has adapted and settled so well and this has been greatly helped by the caring and friendly staff, she introduces any staff member to us
as her friend. Her room is excellent, plenty of space and beautifully decorated, as is the whole home. She happily attends the activities and enjoys a coffee in the bistro, sitting out on the terrace or in the lovely garden. As a visitor I have only compliments, it is simple to arrange visits, the staff are always welcoming and I have enjoyed these visits in my Auntie's room, in the attractive downstairs lounge, the garden, and the garden pod. I thoroughly recommend Knowle Gate.

Avery Healthcare stepped up to the highest levels of care and compassion on a very difficult day. The immediacy of help for being able to place my Mum (Alzheimer’s) in Knowle Gate, Solihull - was done professionally, with above and beyond reassurance, clear and accurate communication with the information
and advice I needed. No question was too difficult. The care shown to myself and my Mum showed they understood the impact not only on their new resident but also the emotional journey of the carer who has had to make the difficult decision of residential care. The arrival was efficient with everyone was welcoming, kind, and compassionate. Immediately I knew this was a safe place where Mum would receive the care, cognitive stimulation, and specialist Dementia care she now needs. Thank you to every person in Avery Healthcare I spoke to from start to finish of the initial placement. Two days on and my Mum has settled looks relaxed and is smiling about 'the nice people who look after me'.

My Aunt has been a resident of Knowle Gate for several months now. Throughout this time she has been warmly welcomed by all of the staff which has made the transfer as easy as possible. She now refers to Knowle Gate as "home". She enjoys the company of others and likes to join in with all of the activities.
She has only positive things to say about all of the staff. I can detect genuine warmth and attention from the staff towards her. The accommodation is beautiful and I always describe it as similar to a 5* hotel. I have had long-term experience of another home in the area and this one is in my opinion vastly superior. The rooms and private bathrooms are spacious, corridors are wide emphasising the space available to the residents and the decor is very attractive. I would not hesitate to recommend this home to anyone seeking care and support.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our much loved aunty has suffered greatly in the last few years from both physical disability and gentle failing of her mental facilities. After more than 60 years of a wonderful married life, my uncle gave her exceptional care and love in their own home, but by the summer of 2020, as he approached
his 90th year, it became clear that he no longer had the sheer physical strength needed to continue looking after her. He was broken-hearted to think she could no longer remain at home mainly fearing that care homes were awful places, least like a home or place offering true caring and found making the decision to let her go to one of the most stressful and anguishing things he has ever had to do.
We are so grateful that my aunty gained a place at Knowle Gate, within a few days, she was physically comfortable, but most importantly, she was receiving the sort of emotional care and mental stimulation that was positively refreshing for her; sparks of the amazing lady she was were back.

My mother went into Knowle Gate in July of this year, and it was the best choice we could have made. The manager and the team are brilliant with Mom. They are kind, patient and understanding and are happy to give updates and reassurances over the phone which is particularly comforting during the current
pandemic. We love seeing the Facebook updates from Knowle Gate as we have been passing these photos of Mom onto friends and family, particularly my sister who lives in Canada. I'm especially impressed by the range of activities that Mom has been encouraged to participate in as it is nice to see her making new friends at such a late stage in her life.

My father has been at Knowle Gate for just over a year. I was looking for a new setting for him as his previous one was clearly not the right place for him. I was lucky enough to be pointed in the direction of Avery by a friend and I contacted them immediately. When I was given a tour of Knowle Gate
I had an instant feeling of the caring, compassionate and loving atmosphere here, and was very fortunate that there was a room available for him. I cannot express clearly enough how amazing all the staff are, reception, housekeeping, catering, management, and the carers are wonderful. Residents are always treated with respect but they are clearly loved and cherished by the care staff too. My father tested positive for Covid-19 in the early stages of lockdown but has recovered totally. He is 94 years of age and I am convinced that it is the care and attention he received in Knowle Gate that got him through. I could not recommend this wonderful care home highly enough.

My cousin, for whom I hold power of attorney, is suffering from progressive dementia and is now sadly childlike and vulnerable. I am constantly aware of, and indeed very grateful, for the care and compassion shown to her by the staff. She is comfortable, despite needing discreet constant supervision,
secure, and encouraged to take part in any home-based activities she wishes. There is no pressure on her to take part in any activities which she does not wish; a valuable approach as she has had a difficult life in recent years. I cannot praise the home more highly.

In this exceptionally difficult year for care homes, I believe that my husband has been cared for in the best possible way. As there has been no access to the home itself I can't judge how my husband has faired on a daily basis but when he has been unwell I have been contacted by his doctor who talks
me through the treatment etc which has been very important to me and the rest of my husband's family.

I have been thoroughly impressed from the outset with Knowle Gate - from my initial phone call to establish contact through to now, some 5 weeks later, as Mum has been admitted. The first point of contact is vital to any organisation and the reception team at Knowle Gate are second to none in professionalism,
empathy, knowledge and understanding.
The transition of moving Mum from hospital to Knowle Gate was handled efficiently in these dreadful Covid times and they kept me informed. Mum has settled in well and I feel the nursing and care team are completely aware of her needs.
So far I've not had any concerns regarding any aspect of Mum's care but I know that if I were to experience such doubts, I can approach any one of the team from the manager including her staff.
I am writing this as a relative who hasn't been able to visit Knowle Gate or meet any of the staff prior to Mum's arrival.

My father had dementia and was a resident at Knowle Gate for eight months prior to his death. I wanted to express our family's sincere thanks to all the staff who looked after him. The overall standards of the care home were excellent, but what was particularly striking was that so many of the staff
don't just turn up and do their jobs, they show genuine empathy and concern for the residents. This creates a caring atmosphere, and was particularly noticeable during his final illness, which gave us so much comfort at a difficult and emotional time.

I came to visit a family friend over the festive period. On entering the home the staff were friendly and in the Christmas spirit which was lovely to see. The home had a great ambience, was very clean and smelt lovely. The staff was very friendly whom I came in contact with. Everyone seemed to enjoy
their job roles and had great enthusiasm. The feeling was like home from home. It made the whole experience very refreshing, especially as it was my first time entering any care home. So thank you all and keep up the good work.

(1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 21 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.
