Latest Reviews for Ganarew House
22 January 2026
I have completed two previous reviews at key moments of my wife's time at Ganarew. Sadly my wife died in early December last year and I want to complete the circle by commenting on end of life care at this wonderful establishment. My wife had Alzheimer's disease and was probably at the start of the
final phase of the disease when she came to the home. From day one until her final hours the standard of care, compassion and sheer professionalism was exemplary, in her final hours she was treated and cared for with privacy, dignity and tenderness by all.
So I have no hesitation in recommending this wonderful home from home.

Excellent staff who work as a friendly team to residents and relatives. Sue is always clean and well-presented. The home always looks and smells clean and pleasant. Thank you for all the care you give to my aunt. Good communication on an ongoing basis

Mum is happy and settled at Ganarew. They care for her well and have lovely approachable staff that you can speak to at any time. It is nice to know that Mum is so well looked after, including the lovely meals and constant entertainment and company, which is exactly what Mum needs.

Wonderful! Staff are caring and look after mum's every need. They know my mum better than we do. Lovely place for mum to be and it gives us pleasure to visit.

Staff always welcoming and helpful and have always treated my father with dignity and respect. The staff seem to always know what is going on and are there immediately when needed or a potential problem arises. Neither I or my sister have ever heard annoyed raised voices from staff and witnessed
them cope well and support each other when met with different situations. A manager is always on hand to speak with, if required. The staff deserve the highest praise for the not always easy job they do. Recently our brother also visited and commented very favourably on the new decoration. After nearly 4 years, neither I or my sister, who visit at least weekly, have once been disappointed or felt let down by Ganarew Care Home. For my father's particular needs bearing in mind he is mobile but now doubly incontinent and has little memory beyond the present 30 seconds, we do not think we could have chosen anywhere better. A big thank you to you all.

My family and I are very pleased with the care provided to my mother Mary. When ever we visit Mary is always well dress and happy. The staff always look presentable and help us with our wishes. Mary has been at the Ganarew a couple of years and she is well looked after. Your care home is highly
recommended.

My mother moved in this summer. She was made to feel very welcome as were the family. My mother settled in within 3 days and enjoys her time at Ganarew. Staff are extremely helpful and a happy bunch. My mother's treated with respect and I couldn't ask for any better. Totally happy with this
carehome. First class

This has to be the best care home. The staff are second to none. They are so friendly, professional and give the most attention to all the residents in every way possible. Highly recommend Ganarew. Thank you all of you for being so wonderful to my gorgeous, funny feisty mum! Cx

This was the third care home my dad stayed in and was by far the best. It is in lovely peaceful surroundings, the staff are amazing to the point that I jokingly said I'd booked myself in for 25 years' time.

Ganarew House is, in my opinion, an ideal home for residents such as my sister in law. The care provided is excellent, the staff show exceptional kindess and patience and treat everyone with dignity. The rooms are ideal, the bedrooms being very suitably equipped as are all the facilities and the
home is always clean. The food is excellent. The activities are exceptional, with regular entertainment within the home each day, as well as external visitors and visits outside the home as well. I would recommend Ganarew most strongly.

My father-in-law has been at Ganarew for over a year now, he went through some traumatic experiences prior to living at Ganarew and had been in two previous "care homes". Both experiences left us feeling like we had no option but to care for him ourselves, which we tried to do. Unfortunately, his
care and safety were above what we could handle at home, and with the aid of social services, we started to look at homes again. We were offered several places over a 4 month period and turned them down. Then we found Ganarew, made a call and went to visit. It instantly felt safe, welcoming and friendly. There was a distinctive "family" feel and all the residents and staff appeared to be happy and content. The rooms are well-equipped and the building is light, clean and comfortable. The care is exceptional and we know he is in safe hands. I really couldn't recommend Ganarew highly enough. The team make what is a hard decision for a family, easy, because you know they care about their residents.

Dad has been a resident for 8 months now and the staff are always attentive and kind. Dad does not always understand his own needs and can refuse care at times, staff have taken time to get to know him and learn the best way to help him. Whenever we've had any questions or concerns the staff have
listened and acted upon them where necessary. He has always been treated with dignity and respect. As a family, we are very happy and confident in the care Dad receives.

Couldn't wish for more helpful and friendly staff, always pleasant on arrival and when leaving.

My Mum has now been living at Ganarew House for 6 months and what a transformation! Before she became a resident there, she would spend every day on the sofa, totally cut off from us. Due to her dementia, she wasn't communicating, eating or really drinking and I thought that she was coming to the
end of her life. However, within days of being in Ganarew House, everything changed. It's like she 'woke up'. Suddenly she started talking again, eating, drinking, smiling and most of all living! And this is down to the expert care that she gets. Every need is taken care of, from nutrition to health, to activities, literally everything. One of the best assets is how much residents' families can integrate into that care package. My dad and I frequently visit and we receive a warm welcome every time. We are included in all decisions about my mum's care and are very much encouraged to be a part of her life. Thank you to all the staff, you really are amazing.

The home is always clean and tidy, with no smells. Although Mum does not take part in the entertainment we have seen her singing. The other residents love the variety. From what we have witnessed, Mum has been treated well.

The care afforded to my brother throughout his entire stay at Ganarew House has been first-class. All members of staff are kind and enthusiastic and this is consistent. Even though he struggles to communicate I know my brother feels that this is now his true home. Following a period of
hospitalisation, the staff have worked tirelessly with all elements of my brother's rehabilitation. The duty doctor has also been superb.

Ganarew House is a very welcoming establishment. The staff are friendly and obliging. The environment is kept to a very high standard and is always exceptionally clean.
I have to give credit to the gardener too, the flower beds and hanging baskets are always immaculate and beautiful. The food is
excellent with plenty of choice.
Visitors are made welcome with refreshments and my Mum enjoys the variety of activities especially Bingo! I feel my Mum is looked after to a very high standard and she is very happy to be living her final years at Ganarew, which gives me peace of mind.

Our uncle has been at Ganarew for approx. 3 years now. In this time we have always found the staff to be wonderful and they have looked after him very well. We have found any health issues/changes have been dealt with quickly and efficiently and we have always been informed of any developments.
We are very happy with his care and feel more relaxed in the knowledge that he is being looked after well and any little changes in health/moods are noted/noticed and acted upon.

On my first meeting of management and staff at the home it was apparent to me that the care and welfare of the residents is of the utmost importance to them. My mother who was a little reluctant in the beginning to giving up her independence settled in, in no time and is really enjoying her time
there.
