Overall Experience

The staff at Glebelands looked after our mother until her death, from December 2023 to May 2024. She arrived with significant medical issues, but the nursing and care team took it all in their stride and treated her with dignity, compassion, always being kind and polite, and adapted her care as needed.
As

a family, we were kept up-to-date with any changes in her condition and always made to feel welcome. We were very impressed with the way the home was run, so top marks to all the staff there including the wonderful manager.
I would highly recommend Glebelands to others.

Overall Experience

My mother lived at Glebelands from July 2020, until her death in September 2024. Mum couldn't have been happier, the staff at Glebelands looked after her beautifully and kept her safe and well, which wouldn't have been possible at home. The rooms are lovely, the food is great and the activities are

fantastic. Mum died at the home and all of the staff supported Mum, my sister and me for Mum to die with as much dignity as possible.

Overall Experience

We were very impressed with the care Glebelands provided to our mother. She had multiple, serious medical issues which made caring for her quite challenging. But the staff really rose to the challenge and worked very hard to stabilise her health as far as possible.
We were completely satisfied that

she was being very well looked after, which was most reassuring.
The staff from top to bottom were always friendly, helpful and approachable. The home is very spacious and the grounds are lovely.
We really can't thank Glebelands enough for the way they looked after our mother.

Reply from Doina Hirta, Home Manager at Glebelands

Thank you for your kind words and we are very happy to hear that you were pleased with the care provided to your mum while she was in our home; we pride ourselves on delivering a very high standard of care to all our residents. It was a pleasure to have known your mother and make a small difference in her life and thank you to you as a family for supporting us in all decisions. I will share your feedback with our staff.

Overall Experience

Finding the right nursing home for someone you love dearly can be difficult, and I am so grateful to have found Glebelands, for it is the right home for my mum.
From the moment Mum arrived five years ago, she has received excellent care. Mum is immobile and has dementia, she is often anxious and agitated.

Mum is cared for with kindness, understanding, patience and respect (no matter what her mood!). Indeed, it is evident that Mum is not just well cared for but genuinely cared about by everyone at Glebelands - management, nursing, care and support staff alike - they are wonderful. The home is always welcoming, and I am kept well-informed about how Mum is.
Thank you, Glebelands.

I have witnessed first hand the highest standard of nursing care that my mum has and continues to receive at Glebelands. There is a welcoming and family atmosphere there. The staff have established close relationships with my mum and there is a happy and caring bond between them.
The food is prepared

beautifully and is much enjoyed. The staff are happy to take feedback to cater for individual needs. My mum is well cared for and this gives my family peace of mind. It would be wonderful to see the staff receive some reward and recognition for their hard work.

Reply from Doina Hirta, Home Manager at Glebelands

Overall Experience

Leading up to the death of my wife, who was suffering from MS and dementia, she was looked after by staff, nurses and carers in an exemplary fashion. She was always properly changed, bathed and dressed, with her hair tidy. She developed a happy relationship with the staff and genuinely was as happy

as she could be in the circumstances.

Glebelands Care Home was our godsend when we needed them. My husband (not an easy man to please) settled well and the staff could not have been more caring and sharing jokes with him. He unfortunately did not stay for long as he was terminally ill but was under constant observation, which we were grateful

for. They were a great source of help and guidance which at the time was difficult to find elsewhere. Thanks to all at Glebelands.

Overall Experience

My father has been a resident of Glebelands for over five years and I cannot praise all the staff and management highly enough. All the nursing, care and support staff are wonderful, very caring, very hardworking and dedicated. They are sensitive to my father's needs and treat him with respect and

dignity. The dedicated and very experienced management team work tirelessly to ensure that residents are well cared for and communicate very often with the families. They are continuously striving to improve services and residents' quality of life.
The Home is spotlessly clean, welcoming and well maintained with beautiful gardens.
The dedicated activities team encourage residents to take part in a variety of regular stimulating social activities such as arts and crafts, bingo, crosswords and outdoor visits to parks and garden centres.
The catering team has to be commended highly for substantial improvement in the quality and variety of meals.
I recommend Glebelands very highly.

I wanted to thank the nurses, carers, entertainment staff, receptionists and volunteers who interacted with my mum over the last couple of years.
She was always treated in a kind and compassionate manner and I know on occasions Mum could be irritable but I did not ever experience anyone being less

kind or caring to her even if she was not feeling 100%.
Thank you all for your care.

Mother became more unwell and the team went above and beyond obtaining medical assistance after the GP and paramedics felts that our mother was not ill or requiring further input. A urine infection then was found - the staff called 111 for advice and antibiotics were prescribed to her. The staff have

communicated with our family about everything that has occurred. Thank you.
