My Mum has been in Glendale for just over a year now. Before choosing Glendale, I did a lot of research and visited six other homes locally.
Glendale has exceeded my expectations in providing care for my mum.
The care staff are friendly and approachable.
The most important thing is that Mum has
settled in and is happy.

Mother has been a resident at Glendale for about 15-years now, and during this time, she has been happy and well cared for. She has a lovely room with lots of her belongings and is encouraged to be as independent as possible with help close at hand if needed. The staff are very helpful and approachable,
and I am always made welcome to speak with them. I am always contacted immediately when there is any reason for concern or other important issues. Over the last few months, all of the staff have worked so hard to make sure the residents are as safe as possible. There is always a choice for meals, and residents dietary needs are met. When I am away, I can relax knowing that Mother is happy and well cared for.

My 98-year-old mother has been a resident of Glendale for the past 8-years. She suffers from Parkinson's disease but is sound in mind. In that time, she has received care that has been second to none - so much so, that she regards the carers and staff part of her family! She has always been looked after
with kindness and sensitivity for which we have been particularly grateful during this difficult time when family members have been unable to visit. The staff have gone over and above the call of duty to make sure our mother is happy and comfortable. They have also kept me, my sisters and brother, up to date with any health issues or concerns they may have about our mother and acted quickly to remedy the situation. I would have no hesitation in recommending Glendale care home.

My mother has settled into Glendale very well, and that is all to do with the care and compassion in the day to day living at Glendale. The layout is based on small units that feel more family orientated than a care home. My mother tells me how lovely the staff are and how happy she is there, and that
is the most important thing. During Covid-19 I have not been allowed to visit, but there have been daily video calls which mean that my mother remains safe, and we are still connected.

Glendale is like home from home for my mum, and the whole team is one big family. The standard of care my mum receives is excellent. She is never in her room and enjoys the daily activities. Glendale is always clean and well maintained. Food options are great, and the staff and management are so caring.
We cannot fault it - 5*.

My step mum had been struggling at home but would not accept help, other than relatives doing shopping.
She was not taking care of herself ie regular visits to GP, her legs are ulcerated, medication was hot and miss. Following a visit from us, ie taken to a GP, where an ambulance was called she ended
up in hospital.
She has been at Glendale for a couple of months. She is well fed, respected, engaged in activities. Staff are kind, alert to her needs. We feel we can ask anything. We feel she is safe which is a big relief.

I am so lucky in having my wife in a very nice care home so nearby, where I may visit her often. It takes a lot of worry from myself, knowing my wife is being well cared for. Thanks to all the staff. No matter what my wife needs, the carers seem only too pleased to help her.

Overall the standards of care and expertise, help and support are very good.


The friendliness and welcome of staff at Glendale are very good and the attention given to the basic needs of my father is very good. The activities provided are varied and interesting and enable families and residents to

enjoy time together. We have only had concerns about small losses of items which have mostly been resolved. With thanks.

Overall, Glendale is a good care provider. Most staff are caring and considerate and very kind to my husband. We appreciate it when they make conversation with him as we now this helps him feel valued.
Sometimes we think more 1-1 time would help - like having befrienders who come in to help reminisce.
Activities are great and the coordinators work hard. My husband's personal care is generally OK - but sometimes I think his nails are unclean. The food is sometimes less than average.

Reply from Hayley Rix, Home manager at Glendale

Thank you for meeting with me to discuss your feedback and confirming that you are very happy with Glendale. We discussed the meals, and we both agreed that even though your husband does not like or want soft meats this is what the SALT team have stated for his safety as he struggles to swallow hard foods. In regards to nail care, the nails are trimmed but do need to be cleaned also, this I will pick up with the staff team on the unit. Please be assured that we endeavor to ensure every aspect of our home is of a high standard and aim to rectify any issues as soon as possible.

My mother has been in Glendale for 10 months and in that time we have found her care to be very satisfactory. We are pleased with the personal care, food quality and professionalism from all the staff. Various outings/events are available over the year, which is good. My mother specifically enjoys access
to the gardens and grounds.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.667)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.667) out of 10 for Glendale is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.667 for Glendale is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (31 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 186 Ratings = 4.667

  • 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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glendale is based on 15 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • 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 61 registered maximum number of service users is 12.2, which has been reached with 15 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • 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.
