My brother has been at Gorsey Clough for just over 12 months and I am delighted with the care he has received. Staff are all well led by the manager and information about my brother is readily available at all times.

Overall Experience

My mother was admitted to Gorsey Clough for end-of-life care in May. In the short time that she stayed there and up until her death, she remained comfortable and dignified. Allowances were made for all members of my family to visit and spend valuable time with her in the peace and tranquillity of her

lovely room which looked out onto surrounding farmlands and amazing views.
Thank you to the manager and all staff for looking after Mum so well. We really couldn't have asked for more.

Overall Experience

The last three days have been horrendous for us as a family. We have cried, laughed, and reminisced on the life of our relative. We have sat with him and helped him through the last two and a half days of his end of life pathway. We cannot thank the manager and the rest of the lovely staff at Gorsey

Clough enough for their support, love and care to our father and to us, they have fed us, kept us going with endless cuppa’s and biscuits, but most of all, they have shown compassion, love and support to each and every one of us. You guys do an amazing job, and for that, we thank you and will never forget you. From the bottom of our hearts, keep doing what you do how you do it. It’s worth more than gold to us that need it. Much love to you all. Thank you.

Overall Experience

It was an extremely sad and distressing time for us when Mum reached her end of life pathway. However, the staff at Gorsey Clough were just amazing. They treated Mum with the utmost dignity and care. Equally for us as a family, they were so caring, tremendously supportive and understanding. They understood

our needs and our anxieties, nothing was too much trouble. With the restrictions imposed due to Covid, we worried whether we would all get a chance to say our 'goodbyes', however, the manager and his staff understood the need for Mum to have her family close by and arranged a system whereby we could all be there for her. Mum had been suffering from dementia and was admitted to Gorsey in the summer. The difference in her demeanour was unbelievable. She was obviously very happy there. I would like to thank the manager and all his staff for the wonderful treatment and care they gave my mum during her time there, and for allowing such a peaceful and dignified end to the life of a great lady.

Overall Experience

The staff at Gorsey Clough, and the level of care that they provide, brought my mum back from the brink after she had given up on life. The challenges that Covid brought, together with being separated from family, accelerated my mum’s dementia, and sadly her previous care home failed to meet her needs.

Following a hospital admission back in July, it was decided to change Mum’s provider and Gorsey Clough was recommended to us. The change in my mum after only a week was extraordinary! She regained her spark, her appetite, and her love of food. She is now always clean, well-dressed, happy, and smiling and it is evident that Mum is comfortable with all staff, and in her surroundings. It is so important to us as a family that Gorsey Clough take great lengths to maintain Mum’s dignity and enhance her quality of life. I no longer have to worry about Mum while I am not there, as I know she is content, happy, and well cared for and I put total trust in Gorsey Clough and all that they do.

Overall Experience

My father spent his last 3 months in this lovely home, the manager and his staff were always helpful, kind, and caring, in particular the nurses who looked after him in his final week, I am thankful and grateful. The home is bright and clean with a lovely feeling and fabulous view, a great menu, and

lots of activities going on and are regularly put on social media which has been a godsend throughout Covid. I would highly recommend Gorsey Clough Nursing Home they manage to make very difficult and challenging care easy and as comfortable and homely as possible. Well done.

Absolute top-class nursing care provision at Gorsey Clough. Mum's been in Gorsey Clough a little over a year now in the most challenging of times. It is a testament to both the management and care team at the home that we have nothing but praise and thanks for the way they have looked after Mum during

this time. The team goes above and beyond to look after Mum and also to keep us updated, which hasn't been easy given the backdrop of Covid. Just an extremely well-run nursing/care home. As a family, we wholeheartedly recommend the home.

Overall Experience

After transferring my grandma from another nursing home where my family were not very happy with the level of care, it's been a very positive move and I can see my grandma is so much happier now. Every single staff member I’ve encountered throughout my visits have all been very welcoming and friendly.

The nurses have been fantastic with putting a very structured management plan in place, which meets all my grandma's needs. The room, which my grandma is in, is very spacious and always clean, the domestics do a great job. My grandma is always complimenting the food, and this shows as she’s now putting the weight back on which she had lost in the other nursing home. I feel very reassured that my grandma couldn’t be in a better place.

Overall Experience

I would just like to say how brilliantly organised Gorsey Clough have been regarding visiting in these unprecedented and difficult times. My husband has been a resident for 3 years. It has now become his home and I regard the staff as my family and dear friends. I understand how difficult it has been

for homes to manage to visiting during the covid outbreak but Gorsey Clough, led by the determined and caring manager have been incredible at offering a safe environment for us to visit our loved ones albeit across a room in a safe but still warm manner. When Christmas was looming the manager was aware that I would be on my own for the first time ever. He discussed possible ways in which I could visit my hubby and along with another relative who was alone we spent the most wonderful time with our loved ones. He made this possible by PCR testing the week before and a lateral flow test on Christmas morning. I will be forever grateful to the manager and his wonderful team.

I was a visitor to the nursing home on a couple of occasions. The home manager was so welcoming and friendly and so we're all the staff I met. I couldn't have felt more welcome on my visits. The residents are well looked after, clean and content in their environment. The home is extremely clean and

well represented. The manager has done fantastic with the decor of the home. The home is well led with a great team. I rate this nursing home 5 stars.

Overall Experience

After transferring from a very large corporate-run care home facility, it has been an extremely positive move that could not come soon enough. All the care staff, reception, health care assistants, nurses, the well-being team and the manager have been truly supportive and caring with a genuinely holistic

approach to care. The change is going from no visits (even window waving) to being able to have face-to-face visits (at a designated safe distance) within the home has had a truly remarkable impact on my father-in-law and the wider family as a whole. Within a few days of being a resident at Gorsey Clough there was a marked change for the better in personality and overall well-being. The face-to-face visits have been invaluable after not seeing a loved one for months on end and where 'facetime' for Dementia sufferers is not appropriate or viable a lot of the time. Covid awareness and safety have always been a top priority within the home and I have always felt safe on visiting.

Gorsey Clough is a nice nursing home. Great management team and lovely staff which makes it feel like home for my mum. She has done brilliantly over the last 12months with medical needs and walking problems. She has just improved so much! We are very happy with her process. The manager is forward-thinking.

Staff are brilliant with my mum as if she is her daughter. She has helped me with knowledge over lockdown. So leaving this review is a pleasure.

My mum has Alzheimer's and has lived at Gorsey Clough for 2 years now, in that time the care, compassion and love she has been given is outstanding. The manager is very friendly and approachable, the staff are all amazing, so caring and compassionate. The 2 ladies who take care of the activities for

the residents have made it possible for us to visit our mum at times during COVID by going above and beyond to keep everyone safe - truly exceptional ladies. Thank you Gorsey Clough on behalf of myself, my family and especially my mum - you are all amazing.

My grandma has been at Gorsey Clough since March 2020 (just before the pandemic began). Since moving, she seems much happier, cleaner and well looked after. The staff are really friendly and have been excellent during the pandemic with visiting and video calls. They have kept us updated throughout;

uploading pictures, updates and upcoming activities. I feel much more relieved and happy that I know my grandma is in excellent hands and being well cared for. I cannot describe the change we’ve seen in my grandma since moving her and I would highly recommend this care home.

Overall Experience

This review is a massive thank you from all of the family of our Mum, Mother-in-law and Grandma who we picked up this morning (Tuesday 19th January). She had been in hospital after a fall in mid-November and then at Gorsey Clough for about a month. The care and compassion she has received has been second

to none. The staff are all angels and are totally dedicated and professional - a few boxes of biscuits doesn't seem adequate to convey our thanks to them all. We have all missed her but knew that she was completely safe and extremely well looked after in Gorsey Clough. It is down to the dedication of everyone at Gorsey Clough that she has recovered from a serious fall and a number of very serious illnesses. We all thought we may not see her again but she is now back at home being cared for by her family and all thanks to Bury NHS and Gorsey Clough. Remarkable. Thanks again.

Overall Experience

From the moment my 90-year-old mother arrived at Gorsey Clough, my wife and I felt at ease. My mum was quite poorly on arrival. The amazing care and attention showed and given to her was absolutely wonderful. They cared for our mum, every day, with drinks and food specially prepared as she had difficulty

swallowing. Her personal care was excellent and she always looked well cared for. The staff were so compassionate and patient and showed mum tender loving care. My wife and I visited most days and we were well informed on her condition/wellbeing each time.
The cleanliness in each room is of a high standard.
The setting of Gorsey Clough is idyllic and peaceful surrounded by countryside.
We would certainly recommend Gorsey Clough as the nursing home to consider for your loved ones. A well run establishment by the manager.

Overall Experience

My dad has dementia and when he needed to go into a home, it was extremely traumatic for all the family. He had bad experiences at two other care homes before he came to Gorsey Clough. From the very start of his time at Gorsey, he has been so settled and happy. The staff are very caring and make a real

effort to get to know the residents and tailor activities to suit their needs and experiences. The home manager is very innovative and approachable, but everyone who works there takes an interest in the residents and seems to want them to be content and happy. I feel very reassured with the level of care he receives and the quality of life he has in Gorsey. Their approach during Covid 19 has been outstanding.
