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!

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!!??

This may look like a five star hotel, but the care given in the home is sub-standard.

What is the point of having a building that looks nice when the care that elderly people receive there is not of a high standard. Why pay such a high price for a care home when there are probably, better, less expensive ones around.
