My parents were both cared for at Greenwell. They had the best care there was. The care was above and beyond. Making my parent's last years easier for them and their relatives and my family give them a huge thank you and would recommend Greenwell for its care and devotion to anyone looking for a care
home for their loved ones.

My father-in-law moved to Greenwell House from out of area, and our experience was extremely positive, from start to finish. The environment is great for an 80+-year-old - much more homely than any other care home we visited whilst also being clean and fresh (it smelt actively nice in his room - I forgot
to ask how they do it!)
We knew he was in the home for end-of-life care, and the staff were so incredibly kind both with ourselves and also, most importantly, in treating him with respect and dignity and always acting and thinking in a way which seemed very 'patient-centred'. They were also supportive and honest with us - both manager and one member of staff, in particular, for taking time to talk to us and make sure we were fully informed about his situation. This is well above what we had experienced elsewhere and was hugely appreciated and helped us adjust to his situation. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Greenwell - a great combination of experience, professionalism, warmth and smiley staff.

My wife spent five weeks at Greenwell House, having spent fifteen weeks in hospital with a pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs). During her stay at Greenwell House she was treated with excellent care to keep her comfortable until she passed away. We were able to visit unrestricted throughout
during her stay. The staff were very sympathetic and kept us informed.

Since the start of the COVID epidemic and for nearly 10 months, I have been unable to see my dad in person. The manager and all her team that I have spoken with over this time, have updated me in an honest and sensitive way whenever I have contacted them. When you feel so useless due to restrictions,
it is good to know Dad is being cared for by staff who are kind and caring. The staff have had their own health challenges to deal with which would have caused additional stress on the running of the nursing home and I just want to say thank you to you all. They are only two small words but come from the heart. Keep up the good work.

My father died in Greenwell Care Home after three months as a resident. He was 99 years old and died of frailty and old age. His last three months were very happy for him as he was looked after so wonderfully well, by all the staff. He had become used to living by himself, with the same resident carer
living with him, and he hugely enjoyed the variety and interest shown by the staff at Greenwell House. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them, and they always had the time to chat to him and hear about his life and his family, to help him with his tablet when he became confused, and to make sure he had the little things that mattered to him, like the right type of tea every afternoon. They were very helpful when he came to out for lunch, and he always was well cared for and well turned out.
He was a resident during the Covid lockdowns, but the home could not have been more understanding and helpful about visits, ensuring, in particular, that I was with him on the day that he died.

Reply from Judith Christoffersen, Registered Manager Greenwell House at Greenwell House

Thank you for such kind words during a very difficult time for you as a family. It was truly a pleasure to look after dad he was an absolute gentleman in every sense of the word and his smile lit up the room. It was a privilege getting to know you all as a family and, I am so pleased you were able to spend the last few days in his company.

All the staff at Greenwell went the extra mile to make Dad happy. Their job was made difficult with Corvid, but they did a fantastic job. They were very kind to all of us in his family at a difficult time, this will stay with me forever. There can be nowhere better.

The care our mum received at Greenwell was way and above what we could have hoped for. Always treated with respect and dignity. All the staff were happy and cheerful, and always helpful. Nothing was too much trouble helping us as a family in a very difficult time. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Reply from Judith Christoffersen, Registered Manager Greenwell House at Greenwell House

Our mother had dementia and in her final days at home, she had excellent care going to her home. As her condition deteriorated, she needed more care. Local services were involved, they would not increase her care so it was terrible to see a 94year old lady left with no access to the toilet. Our prayers
were answered and the angels arrived and she went into Greenwell care home. The care she received was wonderful, the staff made her last few weeks very comfortable. My sister and I cannot praise them enough. So please feel happy if you have to put a loved one in care. There is no better care home than Greenwell. We love the staff and thanks to them all.

When we went to look around Greenwell House for my mother-in-law it was such a homely feeling. She has been there for 7 months and is really happy. All the management and staff are so caring and kind to her and us when we visit, nothing is too much trouble and always offered tea/coffee. The place is
always clean and the food is good. I would definately recommend it to anyone looking for a care home.

Mum went into Greenwell House initially for respite care after a spell in hospital but it was evident that she couldn't manage on her own and as she settled so well she is now a permanent resident there. As soon as you walk through the door there is such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, the staff
are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. It's a home from home and all of us are treated more like family. It may not be a state of the art home but in Mum's words she just wanted to be safe and she is, - safe, secure and extremely well looked after by a dedicated and friendly team - what more could we ask for.

My dear dad had his final days in Greenwell House, Bedale and myself and all the family were so so taken care of as well as our dear Dad. His passing was made so much easier as the angels that care for them are just amazing. They gave us such strength which has brought such peace to our family. If it
was me I would like my last days there, praise indeed.

My mother was a resident at Greenwell for four years until her recent passing. During that time, although her mental health was declining, she was treated with compassion and respect.
The care and devotion to the residents is exceptional. The place is always spotlessly clean and the food always looked
tempting.
We have been absolutely delighted by the care all the staff gave my mother and cannot praise the home enough.
Thank you to all the staff.

I was absolutely delighted and very relieved to see that my brother was treated with so much care, dignity and genuine love and kindness. This home has a lovely friendly atmosphere and my brother's last few weeks were made as comfortable and pain-free as possible, with so much attention and kindness
was given to him. Thank you for everything.

Whenever I visit the residents are always happy, clean and well dressed. Those who can speak well of the staff their care and attentiveness, their courtesy and respect. The staff are helpful, happy and kind to me when I visit and residents are usually ready for the worship we sometimes lead. I would
happily recommend Greenwell House to people seeking a new home with a high level of care.
I know nothing of the organisational side so it's difficult to comment on the value for money.

Thank you for taking the time to review our home during what must be a very busy time for you as to your house move etc.
Your comments are much appreciated and I have made this report available for my staff to read as receiving feedback is always welcome and shows that the care and hospitality we give does not go unnoticed.
I know our residents and staff looked forward to your frequent visits and church services and the residents took great comfort from them.
Our sincere thank you for your support and we wish you and your family well in your new parish.

My father in law moved into Greenwell House in April 2019 as his care needs became so high due to terminal cancer. During his care at the home, he was treated with such love and dignity, and formed close bonds with the staff that put a smile on his face even on his last day. We are forever grateful
to the manager and her amazing team for all they did for us and my father in law.

Reply from Sue Tunstall, Registered Manager Greenwell House at Greenwell House

Thank you so much for your kind words and comments that you have taken the time to write and submit at what must still be a very sad time for you and all the family. Your father-in-law was not with us long but in the short time he was he made a big impression on all the staff with his wry smile, dry sense of humour and cheeky grin!!! We were only too happy to care for him and support and comfort you all through a very sad time.
We are always very appreciative to receive feedback. It shows us that people do notice how hard we work to ensure a high standard of care is given in a person-centred way and that puts a broader smile on our faces.
Thank you once again.

The care my father has received has been excellent. As his condition has changed they have adapted to keep him pain-free and comfortable. The staff are superb and really try to get to know the patients and build friendships in very difficult circumstances. Their care and compassion are amazing.

My mother recently passed away after living at Greenwell House for nearly 4 years. The care and support the staff gave us during this difficult period was second to none. They ensured my mother was always comfortable and well looked after. They kept us updated on any changes in mams condition. Greenwell
is the most wonderful care home. My mother could not have ended her days anywhere better. The staff are fantastic and I would have no hesitation in recommending Greenwell to anyone.
Thank you to all the staff you are the best.

Current Review Score: 8.8 (8.750)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.8 (8.750) out of 10 for Greenwell 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 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.0 out of 5 from 3 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 4.750 for Greenwell House is calculated as follows: ( (29 Excellents x 5) + (5 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 4.75

  • 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 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Greenwell House is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 20 registered maximum number of service users is 4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 4 = 0.75

  • 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.
