  • Ganarew House, Monmouth
Ganarew House is situated in a quiet Monmouthshire village and surrounded by attractive countryside, much to the enjoyment of those that receive long-term elderly and specialist care at the facility.

The home can house 36 occupants in total and is suitable for many with mobility issues, with good wheelchair access and staff that are trained in increasing the comfort of residents.

Many of the home's rooms have views over the Wye Valley and all residents benefit from the home's own minibus, which takes them often on trips to local tourist attractions and picturesque landscapes.

My mother just recently became a resident at Ganarew House, she is very settled and appears happy each time I visit. The staff are very friendly and easy to approach. My mother's wellbeing has increased immensely, she looks well looked after, is always neat and tidy, ahs clean clothes and her nail and
hair are kept clean. I can also see that she has put on weight.

Ganarew House continues to provide a home for my mother. Her needs are very extreme and yet somehow the wonderful caring staff and managers help her to get through every day.
I cannot thank all the staff enough for everything they do for my mother who is living in her own "hell" and "heaven" throughout
different times each day.
Thank you so much for looking after our mum.

Everyone at Ganarew House have been very kind and loving to my mum.
If mum needs anything they always are prompt to let me know.
I always sing your praises if anyone asks me about the care at Ganarew House.
It's a home from home feel about the house! Thank you, everyone, for all your hard work.

My mother has dementia and has been at this care home since last December. All her needs (including personal needs) are cared for by staff who are extremely good at their job. The staff are very kind and helpful with mum and are also easy to talk to. I know that my mother is being looked after very
well and that she has 24-hour attention.

My mother has been extremely happy at Ganarew. Any deterioration has been hers, not the homes. She is treated with real kindness and has in the past been able to recognise this. She trusts the staff and recognises their benevolent attitude towards her. Her accommodation is pleasant and she has been
fed well.

My 89-year-old mother has been at Ganarew House for approximately 5 months. She suffers from Alzheimer's and vascular dementia and mostly speaks Spanish. The staff have been very accommodating and empathetic in spite of the language difficulties. The ambience is jovial, warm and caring.

Have found carers very helpful. The care my mother gets is good and food is excellent. Possibly a bit more entertainment and trips out. Can't fault anything there. Very clean, showers regular. Staff lovely.

As our mum deteriorates we have had to ask questions from the staff, for understanding the dementia process. All have been helpful and kind. Generally, anything that concerns us is responded to quickly and with a professional manner. Mum appears cared for and usually clean. However, despite all her
clothes being named we do find her in someone else's trousers!

Generally very satisfied with care being given. Only on one occasion when I felt it was necessary to comment on my wife's appearance (hair).


Very impressed when told that visiting was not allowed during a tummy bug episode.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Ganarew House 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 40 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 40 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 4.796 for Ganarew House is calculated as follows: ( (397 Excellents x 5) + (66 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 476 Ratings = 4.796

  • 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 Ganarew House is based on 40 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4, which has been reached with 40 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.
