  • Glebe House, Bristol
Opened in 2006, Glebe House is a country home in Almondsbury with a real sense of community. The home is situated in a tranquil setting at the end of a private drive, surrounded by rolling countryside. The original building was once the old vicarage and the home maintains many of the beautiful original Victorian features.

There are 46 individual rooms here – each with beautiful décor. The lounges are warm and bright, too, affording panoramic views over landscaped grounds, the Severn Estuary and beyond. The home also overlooks the local church, and the popular Bowl Inn is within easy reach.

There is a varied programme of activities to choose from which can also be tailored to individual wishes.

Mum has been living at Glebe House since March 2023. It has been a real refuge for her. She was anxious and recently bereaved when she arrived and was helped to settle by the lovely and patient staff. As the months have gone on she has become more and more settled. She is really valued as an individual
and has a great quality of life. As her children, myself and my siblings all feel included and welcome each time we visit. Glebe House is a lovely place. Thank you.

My husband has become completely dependent on the wonderful carers at Glebe House as he is bedridden and getting weaker with time. They care for his every need, be it hygiene, meals and any request he makes, they will do everything possible to make it happen. Myself and family are able to go away after
visiting knowing he is safe, well cared for and comfortable, he says everyone is like family. Thank you all so much.

My wife has been a resident for over 4 years. Her condition is such that she needs 24-hour care and is unable to anything for herself. The staff and management are wonderful and I am grateful that my wife is a resident at Glebe House. This home rates extremely highly in my opinion and over the years
she has been here we have never encountered any material problems.

Glebe House is a wonderful nursing home that is fully supportive and inclusive for all residents. It has a very friendly and welcoming environment facilitated by the lovely, hard-working and dedicated members of staff who go above and beyond to ensure all residents feel at home. A wide range of activities

Glebe House is a grand building with beautiful grounds and views. Dad enjoys being taken around the grounds in his wheelchair. The home is clean and welcoming. The staff are polite and friendly. In the two years my dad has been in the home he has built up a good relationship with the staff. The regular
staff know him well and know all his care needs and preferences which is very reassuring for him. There is entertainment and group activities organised and there are trips out in a minibus. Also, there is a disability vehicle available for taking Dad out. Overall I feel Glebe House is a good nursing home.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Glebe House

Thank you for putting in this lovely review, our teams will be very proud to hear the positive impact the home and support from our staff has had on your Dad and hope that this continues to be a good experience for him and you.

My mum has been at Glebe House for 2.5 years and her ability to do things has deteriorated but the staff are so caring that I have no worries. Mum is safe, happy and treated with care and love by the staff. Nothing is too much trouble, if I want to raise anything then I can approach management and they
arrange a meeting with the nursing staff to explain to me how things are going. Very happy. 10/10.

The care home is very pleasant. My father is well cared for and is kept clean and comfortable. He seems in good spirits most of the time. His room is large and the door is always open so he can hear everything and staff drop in to say hi. The medical care is good and he is kept stable and pain-free.
There is always something going on but he is not very sociable but likes to talk to the staff about the places he has visited as he has travelled extensively in his youth. The facilities are great in a beautiful setting and he sits by the window and watches the wildlife. He can watch TV and enjoys the food although he has a specific diet, but everyone is accommodating with his needs. He gets moody at times but is always treated with respect. It is easily accessible for mum to visit as it is only a short drive from home.

Reply from Richard Crocker, CEO at Glebe House

Thank you so much for submitting this review, it is really good to hear that your experience is a good one. We will support and cater for all needs on an individual basis, so it is not a problem that your father prefers not to socialise as much as others, we are very happy supporting him as he would like.

I really can't praise Glebe House enough! The staff are absolutely wonderful, so kind and caring. The house is set in beautiful grounds with amazing views across the river. The decor is delightful and the cleanliness faultless. The dining room is charming and the food is of a very high standard. There
is an excellent daily activities schedule, including frequent live musical events and numerous outings in the minibus. My mother has been a resident at Glebe House since June 2024 and I am thrilled with the standard of care and the kindness shown both to her and myself.

My husband has been at Glebe House for a year. The care he receives within The Orchard Unit is very good. He receives care and attention from the nurses, carers and even the ancillary staff for which his family is extremely grateful. The grounds of Glebe House are a huge asset for us as my husband loves
to be outside, even for a short circuit, even on a winter's day. We all know that the great outdoors is good for our wellbeing. Thank you.

The home and the staff were like family to my mum, in that her well-being and best interests were their main concern. I always felt that her days were shared with friends and were filled with interesting and beneficial activities.
Mum always referred to to Glebe as her home even when she, like many
her age, perhaps longed for a 'home' found only in their distant past. I know that had Mum not been at Glebe House these past three years, her life would have been quite lonely and uninspired. Thank you for maintaining a high quality of life for Mum.

Glebe House care home is a place that really does care. All the staff provide a warm and friendly welcome to everyone, to residents and families alike. The support my dad received during his four years at Glebe House was excellent and, as family members, we could all rest in comfort knowing he was in
safe hands. My dad, and all the other residents I know, were always happy with and greatly enjoyed the many activities and outings laid on for them.
In short, Glebe House care home is a gem. Thank you for being such a great team!

For the short time Mum was at Glebe House (month) she was cared for by all staff. From the management to the laundry, all were very caring. She was helped to dress and enjoyed eating and taking part in all the activities provided by the team. Thank you for making her last days comfortable and happy.

The care for my father during his four years at Glebe House has been excellent. The staff have been very supportive and have responded quickly to any issues raised. The home is well-maintained and clean and is in a lovely location with pleasant grounds where residents can sit during the summer months.
He was taken ill in October 2023, and the attention to his needs was superb. He was made comfortable and given medication and nutrition to a daily schedule. He was shown great respect by all the staff.

Very good care home, staff are great, facilities are good but some are outdated. Great to be able to use the van, the team are brilliant and so supportive to me and Mum and I have to say you have a little star in one staff member in particular. Probably four stars out of five is not quite enough.

My mum has been living at Glebe House Care Home since February this year. I have found the staff extremely kind, helpful and diligent in looking after my mum. She has now settled into the routine of the home (after, understandably, being very confused and distressed at first) and this is largely the
result of the staff taking great care of her and using their expertise to manage the situation. If I ever have any questions the staff are always quick to respond and to inform me of any concerns that they may have with my mum. I can see that my mum is as content as she can be (being that she has dementia) and I am very glad that we chose Glebe House as her home. I highly recommend!

My wife has been a resident at Glebe House for four and a half years suffering from dementia. In that time, I have never had cause to worry about the quality of care she receives. I visit regularly and always receive a warm welcome from staff. The location is idyllic and entering feels like entering
a comfortable home. It is spotlessly clean throughout. In all those who work there I see caring, dedicated professionals who take pride in their work. Covid obviously caused problems and curtailed visits for a while but regular bulletins and phone calls ensured we were kept up to date and as soon as possible visits were restarted, firstly controlled and then returned to normal. The pandemic was handled calmly and professionally throughout, despite putting a considerable strain on all staff. They have my utmost gratitude and admiration. As my wife's needs have increased so has the level of care given. I have no doubt that she is in the best place for her condition. I know others who have had contact with Glebe who share my view.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.758)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.758) 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 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.758 for Glebe House is calculated as follows: ( (205 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 260 Ratings = 4.758

  • 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 Glebe House is based on 22 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 22 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.

Natalia

Job Title: Nurse Manager

Joined: 2018

Witaj!


My Name is Natalia Wrzosek and I’m a Nurse Manager at Glebe House. I started my journey with Bristol Care Homes in 2018 as a Deputy Manager and progressed to a Nurse Manager in December 2021.


Originally hailing from Poland, I relocated to the United Kingdom in 2011 to pursue my nursing career. Motivated by a desire to make a difference in the healthcare field, I have focused my efforts on developing my skills in leadership and management.


What I enjoy the most about my role at Glebe House is that work can be dynamic and diverse, offering various challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. Each resident has unique needs and preferences, and you will encounter a wide range of situations. This variety keeps the job interesting and allows you to continually develop new skills and adapt to different circumstances.


I am deeply passionate about my work and the impact I can make in the lives of patients and their families.


I am proud to be a working mum to my young son and Bristol Care Homes has supported me with a role that provides great work and life balance.


Nathan

Nathan

Job Title: Deputy Nurse Manager

Joined: 2024

My name is Nathan and I joined the Bristol Care Homes team at the beginning of this year, 2024. I have the privilege of working alongside Natalia at Glebe House as the Deputy Nurse Manager.


I am originally from Bristol and have never strayed from the village I grew up in, Almondsbury. Much of what drew me to Glebe House was the way it resembled many of the things that I love about my own home, community, and upbringing.


Before joining Bristol Care Homes I spent the majority of my career working within acute medicine, predominantly in various Emergency Departments and specialising in Resuscitation and Education. Alongside this, I have also served eight years with the British Army as a nurse.


With two children at home, and a small holding to maintain, I was looking for a new challenge in which I could utilise my clinical and managerial experience whilst supporting a busy home life. And this brought me to join the beautiful family at Glebe House.


Outside of work, I enjoy skiing, surfing and music. I am also informed regularly that I spend far too much time on, or beside a rugby pitch. I am desperately passionate about farming, sustainability, and the environment; I aim to instil many of my green/eco ideas within Glebe House.
