Following the recommendation of the local hospital my husband transferred to Glebe House in July 2023.
The longstanding dedicated approachable management team ably support a kind, committed and consistent team of nurses carers, housekeepers and catering staff.
They all constantly strive to ensure
that my husband receives the highest level of care possible to meet his ongoing and developing needs. The relationship built with my family is positive and appreciated as support is needed in difficult times.

My mum has been a resident for over 3 years now, I visit my mum twice a week, in her time there she's always been treated with respect and compassion and patience and been well catered for, the staff have been friendly and helpful to both of us and I've always treated with kindness on my visits by the
staff.
If there are any problems the home has communicated to me quickly and clearly and on her special day they've made a fuss out of her.
Feel lucky that she came to Glebe House.

Glebe House is like a big family where all staff show such care, respect and affection for all residents. There is a genuine willingness to do everything possible to give all the very best quality of life.
Great effort is put into providing enjoyable activities for residents including singing and
music sessions, arts and crafts and games. The menu is marvellous and varied and residents can order whatever they would like to eat. Special cakes are made for all residents' birthdays.
All staff show kindness and understanding for residents needing extra emotional support. Staff are patient and treat everyone with dignity.
Cleanliness is high on the agenda and the housekeeper is really meticulous in ensuring a very high standard of hygiene in all areas.
The manager is always ready to listen to concerns and takes action immediately. My sister and I are so pleased to have found such an excellent home for our Mum. She is happy and content and enjoys the company of those around her.

My mum has been at Glebe House for nearly 3 years. She had been at a previous home before that and hadn't enjoyed it so much. This was because she needed extra nursing care due to delusional behaviour and being quite paranoid.
Once she moved to Glebe House she became much calmer and happier in her
environment.
The care from all of the staff has been excellent caring, professional, and genuine.
I would definitely recommend Glebe House for the care of vulnerable loved ones.

I visit my mother about three or four times a week and between us, my sister and I see our mother every day at Glebe House. Every time we visit, our mother is beautifully dressed, relaxed and well cared for.
The staff are very kind, gentle, patient, professional and compassionate.
As relatives, we
are supported kindly and we feel we can ask anything at any time. Matters of health with our mother are treated quickly and sensitively and we are kept up to date with everything.
The housekeeping team keeps Glebe House operating at a high level of cleanliness.

My father was moved to Glebe House for physio and rehabilitation after a loss of mobility resulting in a short hospital stay. The care home itself is a lovely calm environment. The staff are friendly and incredibly helpful. They have gone the extra mile to understand my dad's needs - asking lots of
questions and helping with many things so that he is as comfortable as possible. Any time the family has had a query or a request we have contacted the home and they have acted upon it right away. On top of all of this the staff are very nice to be around and create a caring, loving and fun environment for everybody. I've visited a number of care homes and Glebe House stands out from the crowd.

I can never thank Glebe House Nursing Home enough for their care of my mother in her final days and for my family. They were so respectful and caring to my mother and supportive of me, her daughter. I was allowed to stay in my mother's room in her final days and hours and I, and my family, wanted for
nothing, allowing me to just concentrate on being there for my mother. My mother was a resident there for four years. The staff became my second family.

The home is comfortable, friendly and well kept. The staff are always helpful and kind but there's not enough staff especially to get the residents out into the lovely gardens.
The food can be good but individual need/wants were not always available only when asked for, different/more interesting
food is given (it seems).

A homely environment but like many, I have been unable to go into the home,e (apart from the conservatory) since March 2020. Sadly that is when my father became a resident, so I have been unable to go into his room since he started to stay there.

My mother spent the last few weeks of her life being cared for at Glebe House. Although visiting was restricted due to COVID, we were impressed by how helpful the staff were in arranging things for us. Mum said she felt safe and cared for by the kind staff. We were happy that the management kept in

A welcoming, well-managed and caring environment for residents at Glebe House. The staff show great kindness and respect, the residents are clearly their first priority and are treated with tremendous patience and empathy. Communication with a resident's family is immediate if the need arises. Safe
and welcoming care home. I would recommend Glebe House to anyone seeking care for a relative.

My mum was with them just under 2 years and I could not have found a more loving home. The care and love the staff gave to my mum was outstanding. She was treated with dignity and nothing was ever to much trouble. Whenever she needed help they were there. If there were any health problems the doctors
were called straight away to get things sorted. They always kept me updated on things. I could not fault them in any way. They made it possible to see Mum from a distance during lockdown and when she passed away it was handled with dignity, respect and care.
The home was always clean and tidy. Fresh flowers and linen on tables all the time. Any repairs or work needed to maintain the home was carried out to a high standard. Laundry was done well and everything was neat and tidy. Personal care was carefully done and with dignity. The gardens were always full of flowers. Entertainment was always arranged for the residents even during lockdown there was Zoom entertainment as well as things the staff arranged.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.560)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.560) out of 10 for Glebe 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 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 4.830 for Glebe House is calculated as follows: ( (80 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 94 Ratings = 4.83

  • 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 4.73 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Glebe House 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6. 8 Positive Reviews ÷ 8.6 = 0.93

  • 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.
