Mum decided to put herself into Gosberton House in January, she needed the help a care facility offered. The room she was in was light and fresh although it needed us to get a good aerial booster to get her tv programmes. She was unable to walk other than shuffling off the bed and although the room
had a recliner chair it was too low for mum and made her sweat so she didn't use it.
The care given to mum was wonderful, the staff were lovely, But the food for mum in her words was CRAP. She was used to a good variety of in season veg, salad and fresh fruit, fish and hot meals including plenty of sauce or gravy, she hated sweet things couldn't tolerate cheese in any form and ate very little bread. When the meals arrived at her room they were often a lot cooler and although she kept asking for extra sauce she didn't get any.
Sadly she was admitted to hospital in April and passed away within a week.
Many thanks to Amera, a night staff person called Roland and her many other carers.

In February 2026, my dad's health had deteriorated to a point at which my mother simply couldn't cope. This came to a head one morning and we immediately arranged to visit Gosberton House. We were stepping into the unknown. The team there were wonderful, enabling us to make the transition that same
day. Whilst we initially saw the arrangement as Respite Care, it soon became clear that he was in the 'right place'. The team there have been so kind to us all and there is a real warmth to the place that provides a cheerful backdrop to whatever challenges have emerged since.
One particular day is worthy of note. Having just returned from a trying few weeks in hospital, the GP decided that my dad should return there. We were all keen to avoid this and the team at Gosberton House worked tirelessly and patiently with us (and the other relevant bodies) to review my Dad's Respect Letter, meaning he could stay.
I know I can't mention specific people in the review - I wish I could. Thank you!

Whilst dad wasn't in Gosberton House for very long, the care he was given was second to none. All staff were friendly, caring and compassionate. I never saw a member of staff without a smile on their face. I was kept informed of my dad's care at all times. You only had to knock on the nurses door to
see someone and discuss the care and health of the resident. I would have no hesitation in recommending this home to other people.

My sister came to Gosberton House [GH] 2 years ago when it was tired, understandable given its age, and in need of an upgrade but with staff dedicated to residents.
She had a modern, small suite but felt it was too quiet. This was relayed to the owners at our regular 'family meetings'. They had
many modernisations planned and, over the next year, spent a fortune upgrading the environment. They had remembered my sisters request and offered her a new suite that was a perfect fit.
Admin & patient records were digitised, helpful when having to justify funding to local authorities/NHS. The food was also reviewed and the quality improved.
The programme of activities has blossomed with residents recently enjoying Carols, a Panto & a Christmas Party.
The biggest change from the new owners and management is they listen to their residents/relatives, and the staff care for the residents like they are caring for a member of their own family. My sister says Gosberton House now feels like her home.

This review relates to the home, its management and staff at this time as I'll write a further detailed review of the intimate care at a later date. Since the home was taken over by new management around 18 months ago there has been a huge improvement in staffs morale and wellbeing. Small things
like a smile, or a dress code for staff is now very noticeable throughout making it look professionally run. The management and staff are extremely kind, knowledgeable and caring in their roles and are equipped to cover most care home medical needs. Training of staff is very apparent in showing this. They treat not only the residents with dignity but us as relatives also and relatives are encouraged to get involved and take an active part not only in the care homes running but in recreation events too. The new management really do have the residents and relatives very much at heart and they listen and take on board any concerns raised and show the upmost respect and kindness to everyone.

The building inside and out is well maintained. The staff are excellent, very friendly and helpful; though very understaffed.

My mother is registered blind, although she is still independent as much as possible. Myself and my siblings have had a few issues with regards to meals not being cut up and wrong meals being given even though I fill Mum's menu is on a weekly basis. Also, clothes being put into the wrong drawers
even though these are all labeled and she knows where everything is as she likes to dress herself. Apart from these issues which look to have been solved by management everything else seems to be ok.

Mum is always well presented whenever we visit, and although she is showing signs of gentle deterioration, the staff do their utmost to respect her wishes and treat her as an individual.
We have witnessed the warmth with which she is treated and she obviously has taken a shine to some members of
staff whose interaction obviously brightens her up.
I have reviewed her care plan, and it appears to be a genuine reflection of her gentle decline over the last few years and the changes that have been made to accommodate this.
When speaking to the senior staff, they always make time to discuss Mum's progress and maintain a positive, but realistic, understanding outlook towards her.
The atmosphere of the home is professional but also friendly, warm and caring.
It is reassuring to know that Mum is being so well looked after.
