Well, what can I say ... if I needed nursing care in future, Gledhow would be my choice.


My father-in-law has lived at Gledhow for the last 6 months after suffering a stroke and, in all that time, all aspects of his care have been excellent. All members of staff are very professional but they

are so caring and supportive as they help my father-in-law in his day-to-day needs with dignity. As soon as you enter Gledhow it feels very welcoming as any member of staff you meet are so friendly you feel as though you are 'one of the family' and that your well being is also important to them. I know I can always have a word with the Home Manager or the great Nursing staff if necessary, and commend the comprehensive Care Plan notes kept on behalf of my father-in-law.


My husband and I went on a two week cruise in July, and it was very comforting to know that my father-in-law was being cared for by all the staff at Gledhow while we were away.


I would definitely recommend Gledhow to anyone looking for an excellent Nursing Home for their loved ones.


Reply from Sarah Ibrahim, Home Manager at Gledhow

Thank you Lesley for your feedback it really means a lot that you are confident in the care your father in law receives at Gledhow. I am really pleased you enjoyed your holiday and were able to confidently know all is well. We embrace your visits as it is always a pleasure to spend time with you and your family.

This care home exceeds expectation. The manager is approachable and is always available working extensive hours and showing full dedication day, evenings and weekends. The staff are absolutely committed to their job and the care is exceptional. I would not consider any other environment.

Reply from Sarah Ibrahim, Home Manager at Gledhow

Thank you for this very kind feedback. To exceed expectation is what any care environment would strive for and be proud to achieve. The needs of the home and residents are always a priority and at times this requires more commitment and flexibility surrounding hours due to the nature of the role and to also ensure the team are supported. I am proud to be a part of the team at Gledhow as they are all committed and always strive to give the best possible care and put the resident first.

When my mother moved here in March, she worried how she would cope with the change from living independently in her home of nearly 70 years. She is 98, profoundly deaf (has to lipread), has failing sight and can only eat liquid food. The manager and staff were fantastic - they quickly learned to communicate
with her and adapted her room so it was homely and familiar for her. They let her adjust at her own pace, always offering help, encouragement and support. The cooks found out what she could manage and she now really enjoys her meals and is eating more. She looks much better than when she arrived and feels well cared for and has confidence in the staff. Plus, on a practical level, the routine tasks and admin go smoothly - e.g. all her laundry comes back quickly and nothing has been lost, her personal spending money is looked after and clearly accounted for, and hairdressing, chiropody and any other services she wants are organised well.

Reply from Sarah Ibrahim, Home Manager at Gledhow

Thank you so very much Judy for your fantastic feedback for the time your mum has been part of our family at Gledhow.
When mum joined us we knew it was not just the new environment and new people to develop relationships with but also the additional difficulty caused by a sensory loss. Your mum has settled into the home very quickly our affection for her grows daily.

If you require compassion, understanding, concern and loving care, put your selves and your loved one in the hands of Gledhow Christian Care Home. Dads last days were so peaceful and we were made so welcome , nothing was too much trouble and we felt like we had Dad at home with us - not in a home.


I

cannot express enough my deepest gratitude to all the team at Gledhow, every single member of staff was kindness personified.


We were lucky indeed to find such a place to nurse Dad with such humanity and dignity and we are eternally in their debt.


Thank you from all of our family.


Reply from Sarah Ibrahim, Home Manager at Gledhow

Elaine, words cannot describe how much you and your kind words have inspired the entire team. Following your original email with the words “Gledhow is staffed entirely by angels” gave us all goose bumps and made us all very emotional, we are very humbled and really appreciative of your additional comments and feedback.
It was a genuine pleasure meeting you and all of your wonderful family. For the short time we spent with dad he became part of our family and our memories. It has left us with a very warm glow in our heart and on behalf of every one at Gledhow I would like to wish you all the best in the future.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.735)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.735) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.735 for Gledhow is calculated as follows: ( (281 Excellents x 5) + (87 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 373 Ratings = 4.735

  • 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 33 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 33 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.
