My mum received amazing care at Gledhow. The staff recognised her as an individual and got to know her despite her advanced dementia. They treated her with dignity and warmth and we're hugely grateful.

My mum was moved from the hospital to Gledhow home which was a good move as she was able to spend the last couple of weeks of her life peacefully in her own room and visitors were able to come and go at different times instead of visiting hours. The staff were always friendly and helpful keeping me
informed of Mum's condition and what had happened etc.

Since my mother's entry into Gledhow nearly 10 years ago, she has been treated with compassion and dignity by all the staff, when my mum entered the home, her life expectancy was 3 months, I think it is due to the excellent care she receives at the home is the reason for her longevity, the staff are
a credit to the group and are superbly led by fantastic management and staff. Kind regards.

My wife has been in Gledhow Care Home for over a year now. She has advanced dementia and is very well looked after by the excellent staff who are always patient and friendly. The home has no restrictions on when I can visit and always keep me informed of what is happening in relation to my wife. I would
thoroughly recommend the home.

My Mum received wonderful care at Gledhow - all the staff are so caring, professional and respectful of the residents. The ethos is fantastic - nothing is too much trouble either for residents or relatives and the staff, whether nurses, carers or domestic staff, all buy into that approach and do brilliant
jobs. I am so grateful for all the staff did for Mum and I know she could have been better cared for. Gledhow is a superb nursing home and if you can get a place for your relatives there do it!

Mum has only been at Gledhow for approx 3 weeks; however, the care she received was outstanding. In the last few days of Mum's life, it was so obvious that the staff were simply not doing a job; they actually really cared.
I can honestly say that when I was asked to go the nursing home as Mum had deteriorated
I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle the situation (as never had to do anything like that before. I was only able to do this with the support of the staff who also looked after me, keeping me fed and watered, as well as mum.
I will never forget the kindness and care of every member of staff I encountered over the five days I was there.
Special thanks to the senior male nurse and Deputy Manager who supported me on the day Mum passed.
My sister and I will never forget the exceptional care Mum received and it brings us both comfort at this difficult time.

Reply from Rita Kaur, Home Manager at Gledhow

We value all lovely feedback as this helps us to improve our service. Thank you for the positive comments on my senior nurse and deputy manager and the care team, who work hard to deliver the high standards of quality care at all times. I will pass on your feedback to my team. We will continue to serve from heart.

My father had a very good stay here. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Big special shout out to one of the staff who went above and beyond. Sadly he became ill due to his illness and had to be moved to a hospice. (His wish was to die at the hospice) but wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home and
the manager and all the lovely staff.

My sincere thanks for your feedback. The team here at Gledhow nursing home truly walk in every day with the culture of care and our residents are the centre of everything that we do.

Since my wife moved into Gledhow, she has been extremely well looked after by the excellent team. They are always welcoming and considerate and do their very best to keep her safe and well cared for. The homecooked meals are lovely - especially the homemade cake on her birthday. The continuous programme
of activities demonstrated the dedication to making the residents feel stimulated and entertained. The staff are not only supportive of my wife but also of all of us as a family. Thank you, Gledhow!

I want to say a huge thank you to Gledhow for the wonderful care they gave my father over the last 3 months. He wasn't always an easy patient but they always showed the utmost respect for him, putting his welfare at the centre of everything they did. They were also a huge support for all of the family.
We really can't thank them enough, they made a very difficult time bearable, thank you.

When we were in urgent need of nursing home support we could not have asked for more from the team at Gledhow. Within 4 hours of our initial visit they warmly welcomed Mum into their care. Naturally she did not wish to leave her own home and it was a great relief when she was soon expressing her surprise
at how we had managed to find somewhere so homely with such welcoming and caring staff, responsive to her personal wishes.
Being a regular church goer coming to terms with a terminal diagnosis the pastoral support provided by the dedicated chaplain was greatly appreciated.
As Mum’s condition deteriorated the level of care was correspondingly increased, this including the assuring support of the specialist community nursing team based at a nearby hospice.

The staff at Gledhow are wonderful. When Dad moved in, there was nothing that was too much trouble. The staff treat Dad with respect and care and we have full confidence that he is in the right place. Being able to personalise his room has really helped him settle. The environment that has been created
here is truly home from home. The nursing team are always available to discuss our concerns regarding Dad's palliative care and provide us with support and reassurance.

Mum was a resident for 2 years and during that time her dementia went from bad to worse, leaving her often in distress. Having her cared for so well at MHA Gledhow was such a blessing as we felt the staff understood her and were compassionate and empathetic. If we had any concerns, they were listened
to and acted upon wherever possible. The manager was particularly supportive and helpful, but so were all the staff with whom we interacted.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.716)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.716) out of 10 for Gledhow is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.716 for Gledhow is calculated as follows: ( (257 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 349 Ratings = 4.716

  • 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 Gledhow is based on 31 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 51 registered maximum number of service users is 10.2, which has been reached with 31 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.
