After spending six months in hospital I came here to recuperate.Having now been here ten months and heading home soon I thought it was the right time to comment on my experience here.The first thing and the most important thing is the carers who understand that their roll is to CARE which they do to
a high standard and much better than the carers in hospital .I have had a lovely room with a lovely view . As a wheelchair user there is plenty of accessible areas outside which has greatly helped my recuperation .Closing comment about an earlier review which the resident's family criticised the management,all I can say is that in my experience here ,I don't recognise what they are saying and would recommend the home to family and friends.

It would be useful if when going in residents were asked to attach name tags to clothing; my wife is missing some of hers and has acquired others (very good ones!) not originally belonging to her. Some items now have a label. There are difficulties with missing sticks and specs. Overall very pleased,
as is the family that, during her first year, she has been happy living at the home.

Thank you for your feedback! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Recently, we've introduced a new laundry system which I can show you when you are next in. We're pleased to hear that your wife has been happy living at the home, and we value the trust you and your family have placed in us. If you have any other concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

In my opinion the management are much better on PR than on actual delivery. The induction went well and a lot was promised in the way of activities and baths etc but little was delivered. Admittedly my mother is a difficult character and spent much of her time in her room. She is much more integrated
and takes part in activities and even outings in only a few weeks of being in her new home.
I feel that she would have received better care if she had had dementia or Alzheimer's because those residents don't complain.
Overall I feel let down and disappointed and wouldn't recommend Stobars Hall for this type of resident.

I had a great sense he was at home and you all made a difficult time easier to bear.

This is a very good nursing home.

She has a social interaction with fellow residents that hugely benefits her.
I have no negative experiences at all over all this time.

From a recent bereavement necessitating residential care for my elderly dad, coupled with an in-country move from south to north, my dad has settled in very well with the support of the kind and caring staff.
The Gatehouse team are very supportive and welcoming and nothing seems too much trouble.
The
recently appointed new manager appears to have reinvigorated the team, keep up the good work.

Very impressed with all aspects of this residential home. Well run, very organised, friendly and compassionate and always welcoming. They made the transition from home to care home very easy. The home manager was so kind and helpful and every time I ring to talk to him or a member of the staff they
are always so nice. Big thanks to one staff member in particular for keeping me right with all the payments and paperwork. Mum has a lovely room with a great view, she looked so well when we saw her, her hair was beautifully done. Great to see all the events on social media. Thank you very much.

My mother has been a resident of The Gatehouse for 15 months. Her care has been excellent, all the care team are very kind and professional. Previously, good leadership has been lacking but this has vastly improved since the appointment of the new manager. he is engaged with all he meets and keen to
improve, there is a renewed sense of team spirit which is reflected in the residents who are now enjoying more activities and engagement. Please keep up the good work, an excellent team.

My nan (recently deceased) had a very happy time residing at The Gatehouse. Every time I and other family visited we found a caring, warm environment and atmosphere in the home. Staff, although often changing due to the sector were always welcoming and felt like friendly, whilst clearly showing respect
and care for each resident's dignity. The recent new management has definitely added a layer of confidence and reassurance to staffing (care staff) and the overall sense of The Gatehouse. Finally, I could not fault the care given to my nan in her last few weeks.

I have no hesitation in recommending The Gatehouse to anyone considering a care home place. The care team are attentive and caring, they treat the residents with dignity and respect and make efforts to meet the individual needs of residents. I have always been kept fully informed of any changes or developments
in my mother's condition and I have felt the staff, at every level have been approachable and supportive.

Here at the Gatehouse we really pride ourselves on our care. To read a review like this really hits home that we are getting it right. We will continue to deliver great person-centred care to the best of our ability. Thank you very much for your lovely words.

The staff and management are excellent. The Gatehouse balances caring and helping residents with maintaining a feeling of independence and choices. My Mum has always been a very independent person so this matters to her. There is also a great balance of having plenty of things to join in with in The
Gatehouse community and having time to oneself and a lovely one-to-one chat with staff and visitors. The food is currently excellent as is the care and atmosphere.

My gran always vowed never to stay in any care facility, however after two days of respite care in The Gatehouse, she told us in no uncertain terms, she was giving up her flat because this was her home now. She has settled beautifully, in part down to the attentive, personalised and genuine care given
to her from the team. From the admin staff through to the care managers, special care is given to personalise the care and get to know their residents.
Her room is light and airy and organised to her taste and best care interests and nothing is too much trouble. Visiting is no problem - at any time, and we have even had take-out nights in our PJs. A real home from home. She is now a permanent resident and enjoying making new friends. The coffee mornings are always fabulous, and a lovely way to meet the people caring for your loved ones. Thank you to The Gatehouse team for all of your hard work!

Reply from Luke Dove, Manager at The Gatehouse

My mother was taken in for respite so my sister (full-time carer) could have a break. The care and devoted attention given to my mother was exceptional. My mum was always comfortable and pleased with how she was being cared for. Sadly my mum passed away whilst at Stobars Hall. The support and compassion
were brilliant, thoughtful and understanding. I would recommend and praise the staff and the care provided.
