This is a slightly different venue for me to review. However, I have recently had some experience…read morehere and wanted to share my findings. My grandfather has recently moved in to Gracewell. He has advanced dementia and has spent time in and out of hospitals and different nursing homes over the past year or so. I went to view Gracewell with my father as we were not happy with his current placement. My initial impression was one of quality. The décor is lush. It is a fairly new home but, although it does still retain that new-ish feel, there is a comforting homeliness to the place. We absolutely loved it. I went to visit my grandfather last week, a few days after the move, and was pleased to see how content he seemed. The staff are absolutely lovely and very attentive, always asking if you need anything. The food is of good quality and family members can also dine in the restaurant for a nominal charge. There is a lovely outside area where residents can relax and there is even a hair dressers on site.

Mum has been a resident of this Residential Home for about 18 months now and I can highly recommend…read morethis home. The staff are very professional and very kind. Mum has had her ups and downs health wise and we couldn't ask for a better standard of care. The home itself is very pleasant inside with two separate lounges and a lovely dining room which overlooks a spacious garden. What I like about this home after discounting a hugh amount of others, is that it is home from home. Also they are pet friendly which makes a change!

My Grandmother has been in this home for a few years now and she really loves it. She was initially…read moreworried about moving into a home, but the staff have mostly been fantastic in welcoming her and making it feel like home. They are at her beck and call and she wants for nothing. Its pretty basic but the rooms are clean and have everything she needs, they are cleaned regularly and she has bowls for fruit and sweets that they top up every week. They organise regularly events with singers, activities, film days, and birthday parties. They have a hairdresser in once a week too. They are also very welcoming to visitors and you nearly always get a cuppa and a biscuit when you visit. The care sector is very under paid so they do get a reasonable turn over of staff, but they also have people that have been there since day one which makes my Grandmother feel really secure. If you are considering a care home in Bristol then I would check this place out.

This is really a great Care Home. Clean, bright, airy, fresh and roomy. The highlight is the great…read morestaff - friendly, warm, caring and professional. Everyone always seems upbeat despite the obvious challenges of working in a care home where several of the residents suffer from dementia. My fathers room is great - French doors opening on to a private garden with plenty of seats, plants and bird feeders. For my US friends - as I sat here this morning they can around (late coffee time) asking the residents - tea? Coffee? Sherry? Baileys? Amazing - never in the frumpy old USA would you be offered booze - but at 94 years old (like my Dad) - why not!!??
