Greenacres is a warm and welcoming home with a wonderful family atmosphere and is located in a quiet residential area. The home offers a number of care services including residential care, specialist dementia care and short term respite care. There is a special emphasis within the home on caring for those living with dementia.

Each of the bedrooms within Greenacres are en-suite and fully furnished and also benefit from wi-fi connectivity, a nurse call system and a television.

The wide range of communal areas in the home include inviting lounges and dining rooms as well as cosy corners and other spaces. The home includes a number of special features specifically designed to help those with dementia orient themselves so they can live as independently as possible.

Externally, Greenacres benefits from a beautifully designed landscaped garden which is enclosed within the heart of the home. It includes a number of seating areas and is a perfect place to relax in during the warmer months.

What a lovely place to be! Since my mother-in-law became a resident she's eating better and has settled in better than expected. The food is very good and often food is offered to me when I visit at lunch or dinner times. The staff are very accommodating with visitors also. I find it to be a very relaxing
environment considering. Also very happy with how clean and well-kept everything is. I am very grateful for the carers and everything they do.

This is a wonderful home. I’ve never had an experience of a residential care home before, so was worried when Mum was placed here, but I couldn’t have asked for a more home-from-home and loving place to be. The staff make it what it is, from management through to the lovely carers. They are so lovely
and do genuinely care about their residents. They do great activities for the residents and I have no worries with Mum. She is very well cared for and I can see she is genuinely happy. My friends and family also agree after visiting her and seeing what they do on their social media page. I love this place and couldn’t be happier.

My mum has been a resident in Greenacres since February 2023. As a family, it was a very upsetting time, but our wonderful mum was no longer safe living independently, due to a deterioration in her mental and physical state.
All the staff, including the manager, carers, play co-ordinators and housekeepers
have been absolutely wonderful. Nothing is ever too much trouble and they are so kind, caring and professional. There is a wonderful atmosphere, with music and different activities taking place. You can tell they are such a great team, as they are always happy, dancing and singing with the other residents which is so lovely. The food always looks appetising and Mum is provided with plenty of cups of tea and snacks, at her request.
Mum is so well looked after, and it has made us all so happy.
The most important thing is that Mum loves it there.
We can't thank them all enough.

Greenacres is a wonderful care home. The atmosphere is welcoming and the staff are professional and friendly. They are always ready to listen to relatives and act on requests, such as making sure Mum is on the list to have her hair done or if Mum is not feeling well ensuring Mum is visited by the doctor.
Muom
is very fortunate to be cared for by such loving, caring, happy staff who always have her best interests at heart. The wonderful activities team ensure Mum is stimulated with a wide variety of projects and outings or carried out with enthusiasm.

I have always found Greenacres to be an absolutely outstanding care home. My wife has been a resident since June 2021 and has always received the most excellent of care. Every member of staff has proved to be capable, attentive, caring, cheerful and kind. They continually find new activities and ways
to keep the residents occupied and entertained. My family and I are always grateful to everyone at Greenacres.

My mother passed away last week after having been a resident at Greenacres for the past four years following a stroke that change her life. She had dementia, was non-verbal and couldn't walk. Lockdowns have restricted visiting and so contact became available via Facetime. Unfortunately, she couldn't
understand and became more confused. For long periods the carers became her family.
The care has always been exemplary and we knew that she was safe, looked after and happy in her own world. Mum would always smile when the regular carers came into her room and was even happier when she was wheeled out into the garden for a cigarette.
We are very grateful for all that the carers did for our mum.

Reply from Deborah Yadev, Marketing Manager at Greenacres

Thank you for the beautiful memories expressed about your mother, she was an amazing woman and we miss her, the very best wishes to the family always.

My mother has been here for over two years and in that time I have always found everything satisfactory. The staff I have met are always friendly and welcoming. Covid time was hard on everyone, staff and residents alike, but all we can do is our best at the time and I think they more than did that.
No fault-finding with me.

Our experience visiting my mother in the care home has been very good. The staff are very helpful and try to resolve any queries we have about my mother's care. The use of the garden would be nice for the residents and family in the summer as most residents are unable to go outside for fresh air. The
staff have been excellent working with the stress of Covid. We are grateful for their help and care.

Reply from Deborah Yadev, Marketing Manager at Greenacres

The staff at Greenacres provide a very friendly and caring service. They treat residents with dignity and compassion. The meals my husband gets are wholesome and nutritious. The laundry service is very efficient. I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work during the pandemic as it has been
a very challenging time and they have been brilliant.

Due to covid restrictions, we couldn't visit and had no experience of the home and staff. Our mother received excellent treatment and responded well in their care, able to move independently into her home, luckily to be with family on hand. During her stay staff kept us fully informed of her progress
and were more than cheerful and helpful, giving us peace of mind that mum was being well cared for.

Reply from Julie Hutchins, Home Manager, Greenacres at Greenacres

Thank you for this lovely review which will be appreciated by all the staff. It was a pleasure to have your mother stay with us and the staff missed her when she left. We hope your mother has settled into her new home and is enjoying being closer to her family.

My mother has dementia and is cared for in Greenacres. The staff are very kind and gentle with her, and she seems very happy and relaxed at all times.

Current Review Score: 9.0 (8.953)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.0 (8.953) out of 10 for Greenacres is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 6 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.1 out of 5 from 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.853 for Greenacres is calculated as follows: ( (58 Excellents x 5) + (10 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 68 Ratings = 4.853

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.1 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greenacres is based on 6 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 = 3.6

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 6 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.5

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
