The attention to detail and the care that my wife received was second to none. I cannot thank the staff enough for looking after my wife. Every morning she was like a new pin in her attire. I was amazed at the concern for my well being. You have got an ace team there.

Sadly my mum passed away earlier this week after 3 1/2 years residing at Gedling Village. In all that time we were very grateful for the friendly and courteous care that she received which appeared to us to be of the very highest standard. The home was kept spotlessly clean and the food always looked
appetising. My mum never had a complaint.

My dad and step mum came to stay at Gedling in October 2018. My step mum has dementia but dad didn't but he had mobility issues. They were made very welcome by the excellent staff and managers. They were both happy and settled quickly. My dad really loved the carers, enjoying a joke and banter with
staff and they all liked him too. He did complain about the food but he was very fussy. My step mum liked the food and it looked fine to me. Every care was given to my dad especially in the last few weeks of his life. I couldn't have asked for more. Only negative is they need more staff.

Our first impressions of this care home were that the residents seemed happy and ‘engaged’ and well cared for. The facilities were bright and clean and suitable for elderly residents. My cousin was only there for two weeks but we were very pleased with the way she had settled in and extremely pleased
with the caring and professional attitude of everyone working at the home. We were particularly impressed with the care taken to get to know my cousin’s needs, even before she went into the home.

Very kind and friendly staff, made my Mum feel very welcome. I was comforted knowing that my Mum was being well cared for. They were flexible over meal times when we were visiting my Dad in hospital. The meals and menu were always varied with a couple of choices. Mum joined in with some of the activities
and was never short of company.

After much deliberation and having visited many care homes in the area we eventually found Gedling Village Care Home. When I brought my Mother for a visit the interest shown in her and her needs confirmed our choice. We haven't been disappointed, they have adapted her care fluidly as her needs changed.
The most important aspect of their care, to me, is that they truly protect her dignity, even at difficult times. Because of this, my Mother has settled into a new home in a new town happily at the age of 94. No mean feat.

My mother lived at Gedling Village Care Home for four years, moving from an assisted living apartment - where she could keep her cat - to a room in the home as her dementia progressed and mobility reduced.
The staff were always caring, enabling Mam to enjoy the routine and pastimes she preferred.
When
Mam had a massive stroke and was taken to hospital, it was a great relief that she was able to return to the home for her final day, surrounded by the loving and supportive staff.
It really feels like part of the family.

My mum was at Gedling Village Care Home between December 2017 and 11 February 2018 when she passed away. All the staff are wonderfully caring and compassionate, they always treated my mum with the utmost dignity. The food is great and the place is always clean. The staff catered for all my mum's needs
in her declining state. The staff became great friends to our whole family and mum in her time of need. I always felt she was very comfortable and well cared for. In the end the home became a real home in every sense of the word to mum, I couldn't have hoped for better.

My friend was resident in Gedling Villages from January 2015 until she passed away a few days ago. I visited her on many occasions and always found her to be so very well cared for, clean comfortable and happy.
Sometimes we arrived at meal times and joined her to eat. The food is very good, and the
home is clean and comfortable, there is an atmosphere of calm. The rooms are pleasant, and personal items can be brought in. There are photographs of her enjoying the in-house entertainment. The staff are very caring and kind, with absolute respect for dignity. They have looked after her with care and compassion, you can’t ask for more than that.

Wonderful staff, lovely welcome, room beautiful. Overall everyone was so helpful and very friendly, nothing was "false". I have experience in this area. I could not fault anything, the food is lovely, flexible and "not stretched"! The manager is brilliant and also the assistant manager. I would highly
recommend anyone for respite or permanent living. Brilliant, well done.

This care home is exceptionally good. They care for my aunt. The staff are always polite and make us feel welcome on every visit. They go out of their way to ensure that we and Auntie are happy.
She is well fed and hydrated.
Staff organise outings and have lots of activities at the home which Auntie
is always encouraged to participate in, helping to keep her mind occupied as well as looking after her medical needs.
The home is always clean and all other residents always look happy too.

During my husband's short stay as a fulltime resident May - November 2017, he was treated with dignity and excellent by all staff.
In his last week, he was given the best care possible from all staff and support workers.
My family could not have coped without their loving care and support.
We first
were introduced to Gedling Village Care Home who provided respite care for my husband, therefore, enabling myself to go on short breaks. He was suffering from advanced Parkinson's. We were lucky to find such a caring environment for hi and our thanks go to all the staff.

My mum spent a week respite here while my dad was in hospital. My mum had a phobia of care homes but really enjoyed her time here and now has a different view. It's a place where home comforts are thought about, where choices can be made about what they would like to eat, there are activities and always
someone around for a chat. My mum has vascular dementia and if there becomes a time when full-time care is needed this would be our first choice. I cannot thank the staff enough for their support and understanding as we go through the unknown and know that there's a place where my mum can be happy should she need it x

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.473)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.473) out of 10 for Gedling Village Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.473 for Gedling Village Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (181 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) + (16 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 239 Ratings = 4.473

  • 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 Gedling Village Care Home is based on 17 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 17 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.

Michelle

Michelle Garland

Job Title: Registered Manager

Joined: 2015

My name is Michelle Garland and I have worked in care for 23 years. I have worked with Pearlcare at Gedling Village Care Home for the last 8 years. I started as an administrator, and I completed my NVQ level 2 in business management. I was promoted to deputy manager in September 2021 and became the manager in May 2022.


Throughout my 23 years of experience in care, I have worked within nursing, residential, dementia and worked on EMI units. I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience with all the different areas I have worked in. Since working with Pearlcare they have helped and supported me to gain further progression in my career as a manager. I am currently working towards my NVQ level 5 in residential management.


My main focus at Gedling Village Care Home is to ensure the safety of my residents and most importantly make sure they are happy and feel at home. As a manager I am passionate about my residents being supported and for them to be able to make their own choices and decisions, whichever it may be. Gedling Village thrives with their open-door policy and having an honest home. Gedling Village takes pride in their décor, activities and decision-making of the home to include all relatives, residents, staff, and family members to be included.


Gedling Village has achieved so many goals in the last 12 months. Gedling Village has altered the decoration within the care home and completed a massive garden renovation this year. We have decorated many bedrooms and changed the floorings, not only in bedrooms but corridors also. A lot of this was achieved from our Covid-19 infection control grant. We also managed to get x3 electric sluice machines and a medication room on each floor. Gedling Village have received 2 contract and monitoring inspection reports which have been very good, and we have also had a very good infection control inspection.


Gedling Village have put on plenty of events which include Halloween, Bonfire, Christmas, and our coronation party we had the local mayor and mayoress of our local area. Our residents also enjoy the regular entertainers, pantomimes, Zumba and our wonderful animal therapy.


We receive many comments from friends, family and relatives stating how enjoyable and how much entertainment we provide for our residents.
