The staff and level of care at this establishment are excellent, there is nothing that is too much trouble including requests for special meals. My dad has motor neurone disease and was anxious about entering and residing at a care home, the staff and surroundings here have won him over its amazing.
This care home has become home from home for all the family and our friends and we have made more friends while staying here. My dad has no worries which is just what he needed, he has the freedom to explore the surroundings there are many activities going on all the time, to join in or just as stimulating to watch.
More staff would be desirable I think this is generic throughout the caring services, however even though dad is really poorly now I always feel he is safe and in good caring, friendly hands, mum and I just couldn't cope on our own Gateford Hill and its wonderful staff day and night are helping us cope Thank you xx

Excellent, professional, caring staff. When I moved my aunt into Gateford Hill I looked on the CQC site and saw that it had a very good audit report. The care my aunt received was excellent, and I was reassured that she was in a safe home.
I was made welcome by all the staff and I could see my aunt
improve because she was being cared for. I never had any concerns or worries about anything.
The carers rang me when necessary to report any changes and took control when the situation arised and informed other services to ensure her care was catered to physically and financially.

I was quite concerned about coming into a care home due to past experiences with a family member but all these concerns were soon gone when staying at Gateford Hill. The staff were extremely supportive and friendly. I felt secure and safe and would have no hesitation in either returning myself or recommending
to others. Thank you Gateford Hill for all your help in my return to good health it has been a pleasure getting to know you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum had multiple disabilities which combined presented a challenge which the staff rose up and met far beyond my expectations. I am more than impressed with the home and it's surroundings, the staff and the care they provide, the food and the facilities. Mum was always treated with respect and dignity
whilst she was alive, it always made me smile that staff knocked on her door before entering even though she was deaf!


It was wonderful to walk in each day and be met with cheery smiles by everyone, no matter what their job. The kindness and compassion shown to me when mum died was second to none.


I am so impressed that I have offered to volunteer at the home one day a week to help with the varied activities that are laid on for the residents and have already recommended the home to a friend who needed quality respite care for his wife.


I cannot praise this home highly enough.

My aunt is very well looked after. The staff are caring and attentive to her needs. She is always clean and well presented, her clothing is always clean. The meals are appetising and she is given a portion size she can eat. If there is nothing on the menu that she likes she is offered a "free choice"
of meal and also the smoothies are a welcome change if she is not hungry. Visitors are welcome at any time and are made to feel welcome by staff.

The home is situated in excellent grounds and the building although built in 1850s is adapted extremely well for resident's needs. The staff are capable and attentive to resident needs and all needs are catered for especially leisure activities which are essential for the wellbeing of all residents.

My dad was given a place here for end of life care, but since coming to Gateord Hill his quality of life and health has improved so much. Prior to this my Dad has been very ill for 15 years and for past 5 years was housebound. But with brittle health he was always in and out of hospital. He was at his
lowest point when we came to Gateford Hill. After being in hospital for 10 weeks he said he thought he had 'lost everything' but it is amazing how well he is doing now, helped enormously by such positive caring staff and wonderful surroundings. My dad has progressed and is doing things he thought he could never do again - such as having a shower, sitting out on a chair, eating a near normal diet. He has a bit of his old self back and he is never far away from things to do/activities. As visitors our family are always welcomed and we are welcome any time. I cannot praise this place enough. Well done Gateford Hill - a great place!

Excellent care home that provides lots of activities and cares about each and individual. The only thing that my mother complains about is the quality of the food, they can request any item of food but it is often cooked poorly. Listening to other people who's parents are in care, food and the quality
of it seems to be a common thread at various care homes.

My aunt suffers from dementia and needs nursing care. She is very happy in the home and likes the staff; even though she can be difficult at times with them. I have visited various such facilities and appreciate the high standard of cleanliness that they maintain. Their degree of professionalism and
cheerful disposition in what at times can be difficult and long days. It may not be all things to all people but it is the best that I have seen. I would not be unhappy if I had to use them at a future date.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.563)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.563) out of 10 for Gateford Hill Care Home 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 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 9 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 4.981 for Gateford Hill Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (106 Excellents x 5) + (2 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 108 Ratings = 4.981

  • 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 4.582 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gateford Hill Care Home is based on 9 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 = 3.9

    • 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2. 9 Positive Reviews ÷ 13.2 = 0.682

  • 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.
