As a daughter living a long distance away from my mother, it's a relief to know Mum is well cared for and feeling safe. It was a tricky transition to move after living independently, but staff at Green Willow were alongside her all the way, helping her to adapt and settle in. The staff are well-trained,
professional, with knowledge, skills and experience. Mum is treated kindly, with dignity and respect and given choice. She has privacy, yet offered opportunities to join in socially or take part in activities if she wants to. She's supported to participate in entertainment, yet no pressure if she wants to take time out and rest. I'm welcome at Green Willow. All staff (including Chef) are cheerful, friendly and happy in their jobs. It's a relaxed, informal 'homely' atmosphere. Living at a distance, I'm impressed by the open communication and information-sharing at Green Willow. It keeps me well-informed and it's very reassuring to feel involved in Mum's care (albeit from a distance).

Green Willow is a lovely small residential home set in a beautiful well-kept garden. It is well-maintained, spotlessly clean and the rooms are light and sensibly equipped.
However, it is the warmth and skills of the staff that make it outstanding. Everyone interacts positively and respectfully with
the residents. Whether they are bringing the laundry, cleaning the room, fixing things, providing personal care, administering medication or delivering food, snacks and drinks, it is clear that there is real care as well as much laughter.
The programme of activities is varied, appropriate and delightful. It caters to a wide range of interests and needs. As a family, we are so pleased that Mum is a resident at Green Willow.

My partner and I visit my grandmother at Green Willow every week with our cat. The staff are always friendly and accommodating. The residential room is always clean and tidy. The food always looks good and healthy. They have a good range of activities. The last time I visited they were in the lounge
watercolour painting. We are always offered tea and cake when we visit and the staff are always careful not to let our cat out of my grandmother's room when we visit! My grandmother is well looked after, she always looks well and healthy. She recently moved rooms and that was handled really well. She has a newly decorated room with extra space and windows which she seems pleased about. Thank you to all the staff at Green Willow for taking great care of my grandmother.

The home is very clean, friendly, kind and patient to my mum. It has a lovely garden, that my mother loves. They provide entertainment both mornings and afternoons and even take the residents out occasionally. My mother can't see well or hear well and her mobility is bad. Her room is kept very clean
and comfortable. She is happy there. She doesn't have to join in with the entertainment if she doesn't want to. All the staff are very caring and helpful. My mum is a Pescatarium and they cater for her diet. The food is lovely. Home-made cakes at tea. I am very glad I found a home for her and they had a room for her. The staff keep you informed if there is any health problem with her and I can't praise the place more highly. The home doesn't smell, except for lovely food sometimes. It is in a nice quiet location and is pleasing to the eye. As I say I can't praise it enough.

The team at Green Willow enabled my mother who has significant mobility issues and visual impairment to attend the wake of a dear friend. It was important to my mother to be able to say ‘goodbye’ to her friend and to once more meet her friend’s family and friends. Green Willow arranged specialist transportation,
ensured she was prepared on time and welcomed her home on her return. Green Willow provides stimulating activities and trips routinely but this was bespoke and very much appreciated.

I would like to thank the three care staff who made me so welcome when I came to visit my stepmother recently. They were very attentive when they served us lunch in the lovely sunny lounge. I also had a chat with your chef who kindly gave me the recipe for the delicious meatballs! I really enjoyed my
day. There is always a happy atmosphere when I visit Green Willow and the staff are friendly and approachable whenever I have a query. I feel reassured that my stepmother is well cared for and has a variety of activities to enjoy during the day.

I cannot fault the staff for the care and attention that they give my father who is suffering from dementia. They are patient and caring, looking after him and making him as comfortable as possible. There are always activities on offer. The food is good and plentiful. There is a lovely garden with a
huge fish pond for the residents. I can relax knowing he is in good hands.

Mum only agreed to go to a care home for respite care if it was to be Green Willow as she already knew of its good reputation. During what sadly turned out to be the last few remaining weeks of her life, I felt that she could not have received better care and attention from each and every one of the
lovely staff there. Mum enjoyed her time at Green Willow and her bright, clean, spacious room with a view on to the magnificent garden. My impression is that the home is very well run by an experienced, friendly team headed up by a very capable Registered Manager.

The staff are so pleasant here, nothing is too much trouble, you ask and they try to help you. Once again, learn to be patient and learn that everyone does their best, that is all you can ask. The food is well presented and it is varied and if you want extra roasties you just ask. While I was staying,
the staff gave me lovely baths which I hadn't had for many years so it was a lovely treat.

My aunt lived in Green Willow for three and a half years. She had a lovely bright room with lots of natural light and a nice view overlooking the wonderful garden. The garden has a fish pond in it, a vegetable patch, an outhouse and some beautiful trees and plants. The activities put on for residents
are extremely good. Living far away from my aunt meant that I didn't visit as much as I would have liked too if I had lived in Sussex. It was reassuring to see that every time my family and I visited and spoke to the staff on the phone, we were treated with respect and dignity. We all felt that my aunt was extremely well cared for. The staff are very thoughtful in updating the family with important news which made all the difference to us, given that my aunt had Alzheimer's Disease and was often unable to recall things. We honestly feel that my aunt couldn't have found a better home in her final few years. Thank you enormously for all of your support.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) out of 10 for Green Willow Residential Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 18 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 4.791 for Green Willow Residential Home is calculated as follows: ( (168 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 211 Ratings = 4.791

  • 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 Green Willow Residential Home is based on 18 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 31 registered maximum number of service users is 6.2, which has been reached with 18 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.

Job Title: Operations Director

I am the Operations Director of Kew Care Group and I support all the residents and the teams of staff at our four homes. I visit the homes regularly to check quality, to offer support and to share new initiatives.


I am a physiotherapist by training and I have always loved working with the elderly. I went back to the NHS after having kids but decided that Care Homes would give me the perfect flexibility and the group started in 2002. I love my job and the ever-evolving challenges that it brings. My husband Dominic works in the City of London and he is also a director of the Care Home business. His skills ensure that the homes run like clockwork and meet all the right budgets.
I also love my family and my children Luke and Grace who are moving into teenage-hood and keeping me on my toes. We also have a dog and a cat. I love walking and working in my garden. We go on holiday to Portugal every year and love travelling further afield when we can.


The best piece of advice that I have ever read is in a quote from Maya Angelou – “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel” and I try to remember this at work and at home!

I have been married for 21 years to Gary and have two boys aged 17 and 15 years old. I enjoy family time when not working which consists of holidays, weekends away and spectating both my children playing football. I don’t particularly like football but really enjoy supporting them on the side line even if I do embarrass them sometimes not knowing the rules of the game!!!


Someone asked me, if I had a choice what would I choose in life to be Wealthy, Healthy or Happy. I chose happy because if you are always happy nothing much else matters.

Hi, I’m Amy, Manager of Green Willow a small home in West Sussex near the sea! We support residents over 65 with short stays where needed, or if daily support is required and individuals have made the hard decision to stay here permanently. We are very much an extended family to the residents and staff, we share in each other's joys and celebrations and are there through the sadder times. Our annual Jazz In the Garden festival is known widely throughout the community!


I started working at Green Willow in 2015 as a care assistant before taking on the Manager role in 2020. I grew up in a family that worked in health and social care, which supported me in undertaking my Level 5 in leadership and management.


I have two young boys, Theodore & Zachary who are 3 & 1 years old, who regularly visit the home, and join in with the many wonderful activities our home has to offer, I’m passionate about inter-generational activities and love that my children can have a positive impact on those I look after. One of my favourite quotes is “Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world” from the BFG - Roald Dahl, often we forget that one small interaction can change the course of someone’s entire day for the better, and is one of the many reasons I started working in care from the age of 17.

My favourite quotes are: “If it’s not recorded it didn’t happen” & “There’s no I in team”.
