I have been a volunteer in Gracewell for the past two years. It is a generally a happy home and residents appear to be well cared for and content. There are many opportunities provided for activities throughout the week. Staff are mainly helpful and attentive to the needs of residents.

Dad had only been at Gracewell for a month when it closed to visitors in March. But the regular email updates have been very reassuring and I have always felt that Dad was in very safe hands during the COVID crisis. It was his birthday in May and the chef made him his favourite meal which was much appreciated,
Dad always comments on how much he enjoys the delicious puddings! The staff are all so friendly and welcoming and even during this very challenging time, nothing has been too much trouble. I am so grateful for the little extras that have been organised recently, the iPad for Facetime calls, the tent in the garden where Dad has enjoyed tea and the brilliant drive-by visit. I want to single out the Admissions Advisor who has been fantastic and always ready to help me with any request. I have nothing but praise and gratitude for all the staff at Gracewell, most especially those who care for my Dad. Thank you.

My mum came to Gracewell for two weeks respite care after recovering from illness. From my first phone call of enquiry to her eventual admission I was really impressed with the level of personal service and support. They could not have been more accommodating and helpful. My mum has spoken of her care
in the highest possible terms. Nothing is too much trouble, all of the carers are lovely and they all seem really happy, even in lockdown! The food is also really excellent according to Mum, lots of choice and plenty of snacks and drinks throughout the day. Because of lockdown and quarantine regulations, my mum wasn’t able to access any of the activities but she really enjoyed the beautiful gardens. She is a very independent lady who is not ready for a permanent move to a home but she has said that Gracewell would definitely be her choice if she does need that sort of care. Thank you so much to everyone who has looked after her so well.

Reply from Harry Garston, General Manager at Liberham Lodge

We are thrilled with your positive experience and are so glad your mother has settled in so well to Gracewell of Bookham. We take great pride in delivering high-quality care and providing facilities to our residents. Your recognition of this is invaluable to our team, thank you.

Gracewell has provided my mother with a wonderful loving environment. She is a fairly new resident and yes, though we could see and feel how lovely it was when we chose it, we didn't realise just how incredible the staff actually were. The care in such difficult times has been exemplary. Everything
has been handled by the staff in a caring, professional manner. Even under such stress, the staff have continued to be kind, caring, sympathetic and patient. Nothing is ever too much trouble and we can not praise it enough. The home and facilities are super but it is the staff that make it superb. Well done and thank you for your continued care.

I was thrilled to see videos of the residents lining the window watching and listening to a singer perform to them while they were all in lockdown! The purchase of tablets for video calls has made such a huge difference for me as I live so far away from mum, and for my sister who visits her so regularly
and is not able to currently.

Although my Mum has lived at Gracewell for over 2 years now I felt it appropriate to submit a review to reflect on the fantastic work of all the staff at the home, especially during the Corona outbreak.
Firstly, I have to say there has been a marked improvement across the board since the arrival of
the Manager and I have been particularly impressed with the way he has handled communications with relatives whilst the home has been closed to visitors.
What is, of course, a very worrying time for everyone has been made less concerning for me as I know Mum is being looked after by the most caring and attentive staff you could hope for. The extra worry for their own well being and that of their own families hasn't detracted from providing exceptional care to the residents.
I can only imagine the extra strain the staff have been under recently and would like to express my sincere thanks for all that is being done for both my mum and us as a family.

Both of my parents are at Gracewell and their care has been nothing short of excellent. The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus at the home must have been both terrifying and extremely difficult for the staff to deal with. I have nothing but praise and great admiration for the way that the manager and
all his staff managed the situation, keeping our loved ones as safe as possible. My grateful thanks to them all.

I have nothing but praise for all the staff at Gracewell. Mum moved in with dad 2 years ago as dad was, unfortunately, struggling with dementia. From the moment they came to a Gracewell they have had nothing but care, respect and support from all the staff there. Unfortunately, dad passed away a year
ago but mum is still there. She feels safe and happy and has made many friends. The activities are brilliant - during this difficult time, the Staff have made sure the residents are entertained with outside singing in the sun to name just one activity. The Manager and Home admission advisor are brilliant. Overall friendly, caring, and loving to every resident and their families. Thank you.

After several hospital admissions and falls, it was clear Mum wasn’t safe in her own house, even with four care visits a day. Whilst Mum was in hospital we viewed Gracewell and were very impressed. Mum’s needs were assessed the following day by a staff member who visited her and Mum was discharged for
respite care the next day. After just two weeks, Mum chose to stay permanently. Her room is beautiful, she was greeted by everyone - from those responsible for housekeeping and care to the wonderful activities organiser. Everyone was kind and welcoming, especially one in particular who has been so helpful and cheerful. A recent visitor commented on how genuinely caring all the staff are. They really know each resident. I feel I have got my mum back. She is no longer an anxious old lady, but back to joking and enjoying life. She has been on outings, had her hair done, enjoyed a walk in the grounds, cheese and wine socials, knitting and quizzes, and friends and family are always welcome in the Bistro.

My dad has Parkinson's disease and had been living independently at home. At Christmas, he had a couple of falls and started not to be able to get in and out of bed. He was also getting in a muddle with his medication. Dad moved into Gracewell initially for some respite and has now decided to stay permanently.
The experience from the first contact with Gracewell to Dad now becoming a permanent resident has been first class. A particular person was great at discussing our needs and worries and getting back with queries. Dad has been treated with great respect and has benefitted from his medication now being handled for him and that there are very lovely people around him helping as he is very much at risk of falling. He has now managed to relax and join in with activities that are going on. There seems to be a nice atmosphere in the home in general and the bistro area is usually buzzing with activity at various times of the day. The garden and rooms are also of excellent quality.

My mother lives on her own and suffers from Parkinson's Disease. She had got into a muddle with her medication before Christmas which meant that she was confused about what time of day it was and was struggling to look after herself. We felt that she needed 24/7 care for a period to get back on top
of her medication and to be fed properly. I visited Gracewell and confirmed straight after Christmas that we were keen for Mum to have a respite visit asap. Even though it was a busy time of year with bank holidays etc, Gracewell were quick to act and visited Mum at her home (over 2 hours drive away) to assess her before admitting her a few days later. Mum stayed at Gracewell for a couple of weeks and the staff were very kind, considerate and helpful. They took complete control of Mum's medication and she was in much better shape when she left. Mum enjoyed meeting other residents, the activities laid on and being treated to a constant supply of food and drinks.

Mum has been in one of the independent living units at Gracewell of Bookham since the end of November. She has settled in well and we have really enjoyed hearing the stories of her interactions and meetings with other residents and the staff too. The staff have been exceptional from the receptionists
to the manager, they all take time to engage mum and ensure that she has everything that she needs. We cannot fault the staff at all and they have worked hard to sort out any issues which have arisen too. Mum does not receive care and therefore cannot comment on care but support has been excellent.

I cannot recommend Gracewell highly enough.
We had to move very quickly in arranging respite care for my mum after a serious operation, and from our initial contact, the amazing Gracewell team, from senior management to the nurses and all of the caring team, were so supportive and incredibly professional
in expediating a speedy response to our call for help. To have peace of mind that your loved ones are receiving the best care, in a safe and caring environment, at a time that was stressful for the whole family was invaluable.
My mum actually wanted to take some of the staff home with her when it was time for her to return to her own home. I think that says it all.

The decision to move my mother to Gracewell three months ago was actually very easy. On our first visit, my husband and I were immediately struck by its warmth and friendliness, its many first-class facilities and the patience and care of the staff on the Memory Care floor. My mother has a very pleasant
en-suite room with lovely views over the extensive gardens. She seems to have settled in very well, thoroughly enjoys the food and is most appreciative of the personal care she receives. It is such a relief to know that she is getting the best possible care from a team of caring dementia trained staff.

All the regular staff on the Memory Care floor are extremely caring and friendly, and I believe my wife is happy living at Gracewell. Her care plan needs to be a lot less complex and more understandable and the revisions I requested some months ago have not been completed - probably because the care
plan is too complex and time consuming for senior care staff. Periodic meetings with senior staff provide a good forum at which to voice any concerns, which are dealt with in a sensible way.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.844)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.844) out of 10 for Liberham Lodge 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 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.844 for Liberham Lodge is calculated as follows: ( (152 Excellents x 5) + (26 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.844

  • 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 Liberham Lodge is based on 15 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 15 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.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2016

I’m an experienced home manager and I joined Care UK from another big care provider in 2016. I wanted to be part of a more proactive company that would help me to achieve my goals. Care UK has a very good reputation and is well known for caring as much for its colleagues as its residents. 


I believe that, as a home manager, you’re as good as your team. That’s why I always make sure I’m giving colleagues the support they need to do their jobs well. I love walking around the home checking in with them and the residents. It’s wonderful when residents take the time to sit and chat to me and share what they’ve been doing that day.
