My uncle recently passed away and was at Gabriel Court. I know that they have been going through some tough times but the people there are really trying their best and they still are doing wonders for the people staying there. They are doing a job that most others cannot. Keep it up and you will get
there!

Now that it is the summer holidays, I was able to travel over to meet my grandpa. Really happy with the home. I could see staff there available to support him all the time. We sat in the lounge and had a chat and some tea and there were lots of other people in the lounge with him to keep him company
and he told me that if he needed anything, the staff were always around to help. Thank you so much for looking after him!

I came to visit my auntie during the holidays and I was really happy with what I saw. I don't get to visit often as I live overseas, but Gabriel Court had such a homely feel. I felt like I was back visiting her in her little bungalow rather than in a care home. She is cared for and happy, which was
lovely to see. She is also less stressed out as she has people looking after her all the time.

I am here at Gabriel Court visiting my friend. Such a lovely place - there's a nice area outside to sit in the sun and the staff are ever so friendly and attentive. I don't think I have ever been called "Sir" so often, it is a lovely touch and the activities look a delight!

My mate is really well looked after here. I know all of us are happier that he’s in a safe place getting the help and support he needs rather than being stuck in his home and struggling away. Obviously, we miss seeing him as much, but he didn’t get out much before and this way we can pop over and see
him whenever we get the chance.

Staff use inappropriate language and behaviours as witnessed. Unwanted involvement in personal matters. Questionable quality of care as sometimes the resident was unable to get anybody's attention when needed.

Reply from Ravi Sodha, Director at Gabriel Court

Thank you for sharing your experience with us on Carehome.co.uk. As discussed recently, the well-being and safety of our staff and residents is paramount and if we felt a non-resident was putting this to risk, we would act accordingly. Our team is trained to provide the very best quality of care to those we support, and we wholeheartedly believe we operate in a way that achieves this. Many thanks.

My husband has been a resident in this care home for almost five years. I cannot fault the care he is receiving. Recently it has been taken over by two young men who are, together with the manager, making many improvements e.g. plastic cotton-backed table cloths in the dining room, new cutlery, menu
for the day and table mats.
In the lounge - fruit juice vending machines, a supply of milky drinks given to every resident mid-morning.
Activities such as batting balloons, quizzes etc for stimulation.
The kitchen staff have to supply three vegetables with every dinner.
At present, new flooring is being put down in the passageway to the front door and to the toilets.
I am so grateful for all the love and care he is receiving. The staff are very loving and caring.

Mum has been in Gabriel Court for over 6 years and just passed away recently. I would like to say that the personal care, attention and love given to her was second to none and they made us feel happy that mum was in their hands. They treated her like she was their mum too. Although Gabriel Court is
a care home, they agreed that mum could stay and be nursed by them 24 hours. The personal touches they showed mum made us feel happy that she was there and not in a hospital. Thank you all.

My sister came to Gabriel Court in 2018, suffering from dementia, she settled very quickly and I felt at peace knowing that she felt loved, her room was comfortable.
As I live a six-hour round trip away from the home I was always pleased for the feedback given by the manager as to how my sister was.
I
liked to visit regularly and take her out to lunch or afternoon tea and shopping I was always grateful that the staff had her ready when I arrived. So as to make the most of the time we had together.

My mother was a resident here. Initially, I was very sceptical that she would adapt to, or even enjoy living in a care home. As I lived over 100 miles away, it was essential that she was cared for safely. I couldn't have been happier. My mum loved it there. She had a lovely room, got on well with other
residents and staff, and was always cheerful when I visited. Her last days couldn't have been better.

My father-in-law has been at Gabriel Court for a number of years now and I can honestly say that the care he has received has been outstanding. The staff are caring and compassionate, often going the extra mile to ensure both his and visiting family members comfort. The level of communication with us
during COVID lockdowns was exceptional, we had regular updates by phone and important information was relayed via email so it could be referred to at any time. All staff worked extremely hard to reassure families that their loved ones were safe and happy. We had, prior to the pandemic, been able to take my father-in-law out for local trips and these were always supported by staff who lent us equipment to facilitate outings. My mother-in-law has, again pre-pandemic, been able to share meals with her husband which has enabled her to maintain a level of normality which I know she has appreciated. Thank you for your dedication.

My mother was a resident at Gabriel Court, the care she received in the dementia unit was exemplary. I moved my mum to Gabriel Court as the previous home she was in was awful. I had looked at many homes and I just had this feeling this was the place for mum to live. With the care and love that she received
from the manager and her staff, who were also very caring to me and my family, this was the best decision I made moving my mum to Gabriel Court. I could visit whenever I wanted to, my mum being there was the happiest I'd seen her in years, for me it was the best place for mum.

Gabriel Court looked after my Mum for several years until her death. The care and, every bit as importantly, the love given to my Mum was excellent. The staff are brilliant and not only cared for Mum but showed me the same care and love as well. I was always made to feel very welcome and “part of the
family” at Mum's death, despite COVID restrictions I was allowed to be with her right to the end, which to me was very precious.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.709)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.709) out of 10 for Gabriel Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 8 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 8 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 5.000 for Gabriel Court is calculated as follows: ( (96 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 96 Ratings = 5

  • 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 4.709 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gabriel Court is based on 8 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 = 3.8

    • 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 44 registered maximum number of service users is 8.8. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.8 = 0.909

  • 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.
