As a resident at Wardley Gate for five years, my mam received excellent care.
It is literally home-fro-home - modern, clean and spacious where staff ensure the resident's needs are always met, and nothing is too much trouble. The management and staff are friendly, very approachable and always kept
me updated with her care needs, especially during Covid.
The activities coordinator keeps the residents entertained with some brilliant ideas, and all events throughout the year are celebrated.
During the last week of Mam's life, the staff were amazing with her and us as a family, showing so much love and care towards us.
I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Wardley Gate Care Home for a loved one.

Reply from Joanne Lewis, Managing Director at Wardley Gate

An excellent effort in looking after my father. The staff are so kind and attentive with him. Even over the busy period, the staff made such a fuss over all of the residents. The home itself is never anything other than spotless. It makes it so much easier knowing my Dad is well looked after.

I recently visited my aunt at Wardley Gate Care Home. It has been a difficult past couple of years for our family as we have not been able to see her as regularly as we would have liked. Wardley Gate have always accommodated us as best they could following their guidelines. My aunt is very comfortable
and happy and gets on well with all of the staff who care for her. I would not hesitate to recommend Wardley Gate to any family looking for their loved ones to be living in such a caring environment.

Putting my mother into a home was heartbreaking, but the right thing to do to keep her safe. From day one the staff at Wardley Gate have been amazing. Unfortunately, my mother fell and broke her hip during the night and the staff absolutely proved how good they are. From recognising the severity of
her injury, getting the right help, staying with her, reassuring and comforting her, and communicating with me, they were brilliant. Hopefully, she’ll be back at Wardley Gate soon. I’m so glad that she lives in such a lovely place with lovely skilled staff. I could never praise or thank them enough.

Our father only moved into Wardley Gate on 25th July 2020, a couple of days before his 88th birthday but sadly passed away on 11th December 2020. However, we couldn't have asked for more from all the staff at the care home especially under the current corvid restrictions. Even though we couldn't visit
him we had regular video calls and received daily updates and photo's on how he was doing. The transformation in only 4 months was amazing the staff encouraged him to walk, join in with activities and mix with other residents, all this made us feel reassured we had made the right decision moving him there and happy knowing he was looked after and cared for. Thanks to the Care Home Manager and all her team we saw him smiling, singing and being happy, or the Gramps we all used to know and that was such a comfort to all the family.

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your father was a lovely man and is missed by all of us.

My mother in law spent her last year in the care home. She was extremely settled and happy here. The staff were fantastic, very caring and compassionate. Every aspect of her needs was catered for. When she was unable to feed herself the staff spent hours feeding her and trying to tempt her with a variety
of foods. There was a good selection of activities to engage and stimulate her. She was always immaculate, well fed and looked after. Thank you for all your hard work.

My Father-in-law has been in Wardley Gate since November 2015. I can honestly say the treatment and care he has received are excellent, I would recommend it to anyone considering an option for a loved one.
Staff and management is 1st class.

My mother-in-law has been a resident at Wardley Gate since December he is on the ground floor in a lovely spacious room. After a few niggles at the beginning after a family bereavement, she has now settled in quite well.
I have to say the staff on the ground floor have been fantastic and patient with
her, they are always cheerful and more than happy to help, especially the seniors who have just taken over her care and sorted everything out for which we are very grateful.
Thank you to you all for your wonderful work!

Mam has been a permanent resident in Wardley Gate since April 2016 and has settled in well. She has a lovely bright room on the ground floor and now classes this as her home. Management and staff are friendly and approachable and although busy, are always there for the family as well as the resident.
The entertainment staff are very good at encouraging her to join in various activities i.e, choir, Tai Chi and regular gentle exercise classes. She has formed relationships with the staff and they understand her needs and preferences. It is a relief for our family to know that she is safe and well cared for 24 hours per day and that if required, staff are happy to accompany her to hospital, even in the middle of the night and stay with her until family can get there.

An excellent care provider, with first class management and staff, who are all friendly. Management are open and very helpful. Staff are wonderful and go out of their way. Amenities are excellent. My father has only been in there a short time but knowing he is being looked after by such caring staff
gives me a great piece of mind.

My father has been a resident at Wardley Gate Care Home since October 2015. He is happy, settled, and well cared for. Staff caring for my father are very approachable, kind and very helpful. My meetings with the manager have always been positive, any concerns have been listened to and acted on. He does
what he says he will do. Improvements have been made since his arrival, hopefully, more are to come. Thank you to the Manager and all his staff for all their good work.

On my first visit to WardleyGate Care Home was to have a look around as we were considering moving my dad from a Care Home which we did not think were meeting his needs & with constantly changing Managers issues were not always being dealt with efficiently.


Without a doubt WardleyGate is a beautiful,

spacious Care Home, decorated throughout with colourful, tasteful decor. But in all honesty it was the staff that helped in our final decision.


The Carers are all extremely polite, trained to a very high standard which shows in the efficient way they care for all of the residents. The Activities lady has a wealth of knowledge in stimulating & having fun with the residents. The Manager's door is always open and his nursing experience is of course a big asset in a very demanding role.


Not to be left out are the cooks, food is excellent and they meet the needs for all tastes. The Cleaners do a very efficient job and the HandyMan is always around to help with any jobs.


Consequently I would have no hesitation in recommending this Care Home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.902)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.902) out of 10 for Wardley Gate is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 17 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 4.936 for Wardley Gate is calculated as follows: ( (189 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 202 Ratings = 4.936

  • 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 4.966 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Wardley Gate 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 88 registered maximum number of service users is 17.6. 17 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.6 = 0.966

  • 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.
