My grandmother was initially hesitant to move into a care facility, but she is now very comfortable in her new home. The staff and room is fantastic. She has found socialising with other residents to be an adjustment but she is now engaging with more activities. My grandmother is very happy and
comfortable at Gracefields.

This review covers my husband's admittance to Gracefield's dementia wing. He can be very difficult but the Gracefield's staff took on the challenge he presented, treating him with great kindness. The same staff also showed kindness + understanding to me as I was naturally concerned about him. They
are working steadfastly towards settling him in to the home.

My aunt has been a resident of Gracefields for 12 years. She was transferred from hospital with numerous health problems. Within weeks she was back on her feet and enjoying her life at the home. Staff have always looked after my aunt with caring attitudes. I have always felt she was well looked
after in a safe environment. My aunt had full mental capacity so she would have said if anything was not up to her standard and I felt very assured when she moved there. During her 12 years there she was always been well looked after, clean and her room kept very well. Staff are always friendly and professional. It was only through the care she received that she lived for 12 years.

Gracefields seems like a friendly place, clean, relaxed and quiet. Food exceptional, makes my mouth water. Staff friendly and caring.

We highly recommend Gracefields. Staff are skilled and professional and kind and respectful, and have caring relationships with the residents. Food is varied, appetising and there is plenty of choice. Rooms and bathrooms are always clean, and laundry seems to come back to the right person. One to
one care and activities are good. Would highly recommend.

I can't thank GraceFields enough for the outstanding care they gave my mum before she passed away.
It was always very clean.
Every member of staff we're so caring, friendly and empathetic during such a difficult time.
We couldn't have found anywhere else better

Great induction to the nursing home, good facilities, private room which are clean + ongoing maintenance visible. Could do with clocks in the room (with day/date) to allow residents to orientate themselves.

"We were lucky enough get Mum into Gracefields Carehome in Downend after moving her twice. We can't praise Mum's care & attention enough during her 3 years there. The garden space mustn't be underestimated. The care given at Gracefields wasn't just for the lady we knew and loved, but for the lady
they met with dementia. The care was professional and towards the end it became more gentle & considered, giving Mum the dignity she deserved. As a family, the support from the whole team was very much appreciated
and this made a very sad situation more bearable with their kindness, calm and professionalism".

I would like to thank every member of staff for their kindness and excellent nursing care during my stay. You have all been wonderful in looking after me. I will never forget you. I would recommend Gracefields to anyone. Thank you all again. I hope to return when I'm totally recovered.

My mum was only with/in Gracefields for one week. She was looked after very well by the nurses, staff, and management to a very high standard. The care, compasion and respect was, and is of top quality. I would definitely recomend this home for the care and nursing of a loved one.
15 January 2025
Showed care and compassion looking after my Dad, the nursing and care staff provided the best possible care. Hospital level cleanliness and facilities. Well maintained property that gives a very professional feeling.
19 September 2024
My dad had been a resident at Gracefields since December 2022. Sadly he recently passed at the ripe old age of 98.
During his time at Gracefields, the whole team were so committed to providing the best possible care, and attending to his everyday needs, with so much kindness, understanding and
respect. I can't fault the way in which my Dad was looked after in his final years and for that, I will be forever truly grateful.
Thank you to all the wonderful staff at Gracefields who each and every day take care of our loved ones with professionalism and pure dedication, where would we be without you.

Fantastic nursing home and staff. The home is always clean and tidy, especially my dad's room. The room is brightly decorated and feels like a home, safe and welcoming. The staff are fantastic and very attentive to my dad as he has complex nursing needs. They are compassionate and humane in their
approach to their work and the residents. I am very comforted to know my dad is in such a wonderful home and the level of care is exceptional.

My father was a resident at Gracefields for 5 years until he recently passed away. Following a stroke, he was partially paralyzed and moved to Gracefields when he began to need full nursing care and assistance. The staff were very friendly and took excellent care of him throughout his stay, making
sure he was comfortable at all times and accommodating his personal requirements, preferences and requests. They would do their utmost to enable him to participate in activities for as long as he was well enough to do so. They were extremely vigilant of his medical care and needs and would contact us if there was any significant change in his condition. They were warm and welcoming to him and to us, his family, and made us all feel part of his life at Gracefields. Our thanks go to all the staff who do an outstanding job.

Mum and Dad both arrived at Gracefields Nursing Home in November 2022. I visited them the same day and was met by a friendly nurse whose words were "Don't worry, we will look after them." She kept her word, Mum was truly looked after by nurses and carers. Sadly, she passed away not long after. The
care and support that continues with Dad have been outstanding. All staff are very knowledgeable and compassionate but it's the personal touches, the camaraderie between staff, residents and families that make Gracefields unique. The staff definitely make this care home.
06 December 2023
At Gracefields House, there was always a friendly welcome when visiting. Staff were kind, friendly and professional when dealing with both residents and visitors alike.
Care was always good and prompt whenever required, giving confidence that Mum was in safe hands.
On Mum's passing, the care and
dignity shown were exceptional, which was important to us... thank you.
09 November 2023
I am a very critical person but I can not see how Gracefields could improve the care, also all the staff are excellent from management to carers. I put satisfactory for value for money as I don't believe anyone should pay for care, it should be government-funded.
25 September 2023
Very caring staff who do an amazing job. Thank you to you all, and well done to the person on the activities too. Always very clean, nice big rooms with en suite. Lovely garden space a very nice place to sit and talk to other residents and visitors.
09 June 2023
From the outset when I was looking for a home for Dad, the service I received was excellent.
I was looking for a place during Covid and tried several homes and their office administrator stood out as she was very sympathetic, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.
Once Dad moved into Gracefields he
settled in really quickly and was more than happy with the care and staff that looked after him.
I cannot praise the staff enough and would like to thank them all, it meant a great deal to his family to know he was in the best place with the best care being given at all times.
Thank you all so much.

The family would like to thank all the staff at Gracefields Nursing Home - Mum was receiving end-of-life care and was only there for a short while but she loved it - she wished that she had gone there sooner as the quality of the food and care was second to none. From the time that she arrived to
flowers, a card and chocolate as a welcoming gift right through to the end when the staff welcomed the family to stay with her until the end. We could not fault it.
