I feel that the staff respects me and meets my care requirements. The staff treats me with dignity which is very much appreciated. I recently lost my wife of 64 years. We were in the home together. The care and attention she received was second to none. Thank you. I know my daughter feels that I am
well taken care of.

The Covid restrictions have meant that this is only my third visit to my aunt's room in the past year. I have really missed her. I came into contact with four members of staff today. My words to describe their interaction with us today are; professionally, precise, efficient, an ease and willingness
to everyone and interact, and not least, a very genuine kindness. My aunt has an antisocial personality and dementia, all the staff allowed her to "be herself" and respect her wishes. She really likes living at Gracewell, and I am so very reassured by that. After her long scenarios of decline physically and mentally, I know that my husband and I have found the best possible care for her.

My brother and I are delighted with the quality of care offered at Gracewell. Despite all the challenges and limitations of the last year, Mum is clearly thriving in a supportive and respectful environment. In all our interactions, staff have been unfailingly positive and helpful. It is very reassuring
to know Mum is receiving such a high quality of care.

We have felt that our family member has been well cared for and kept safe during these difficult times. The communication has been great and the options open to us to keep in contact well organised. Our family member is happy, made friends and speaks well of Gracewell. The grounds are always kept immaculate,
the staff friendly, helpful and don't mind phone calls checking in and give good updates. The moving-in process was positive, made easy and the family as a whole welcome.

Reply from Jacqui Hampton, General Manager at Parker Meadows

Gracewell of Fareham appreciate moving into a care home can be an unsettling time. This is why we take the time to engage with family members and friends of the resident to make the process as smooth as possible, to get to know the resident on a personal level.

My father's stay was very brief, 7 months, but during this time he was made to feel comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas activities and his birthday. The staff show great compassion and make a warm welcome on visiting, I would certainly recommend Gracewell to any people that I meet as a
suitable nursing home for an elderly person to spend their last days.

My mother has been at Gracewell for 18-months now, and I have to say, we (her family) are all so happy about her care. During this very hard time with the coronavirus, they have all been so kind and looked after her so well. I did manage to Facetime her, and she always tells me how kind all the staff
are. Seeing her for the first time recently, she looks well and happy. I have nothing but praise for all the staff.

During lockdown, obviously we have not been able to visit our relative, but we have been kept in touch and up to date each week with great photos and news snippets. This has made such a difference to the situation. I cannot speak highly enough of all the staff and just thank god we chose Gracewell.

My Aunt went into Gracewell Fareham in February 2020 after a spell in hospital. We looked at several homes, but all had one or two things that we were not happy with. Finally, after a suggestion from the sister of the ward she was in we went to Gracewell. We were impressed by our reception and the professionalism
of the staff we met. After they reviewed my aunt, we agreed to her going there. We have never regretted that decision. She was welcomed, and her room beautifully prepared. All staff including domestic, nursing, catering, managers, maintenance and occupational have been perfect for her. She enjoys eating, and we cannot fault the food. The home also dealt with the Covod-19 outbreak speedily and as a result, have had no infections. They are easing visiting restrictions very gradually to ensure safety. We would like to thank all staff for their very hard work during this difficult time. At all times the home has maintained communication with us even though we could not visit.

The team on the nursing floor were excellent (and your admissions manager). My father went to Gracewell, initially for respite, but the stay was extended when lockdown began. Communications were very good, using video conference calls to keep us in touch during this time, as well as newsletters to family
showing events run for the residents. Sadly, my father succumbed to his Parkinson's condition before the lockdown ended, but we cannot thank the staff enough. They kept us in touch throughout and ensured we were part of any decision making. We were very pleased with Gracewell throughout.

A truly wonderful place. My mother has Alzheimer’s and moved into Gracewell in December. There really aren’t enough words to describe the love, care and attention my mother receives each day. The staff have maintained an extremely safe environment- and with the huge challenge with COVID they have been
wonderful, not a single case; I’m so very grateful for all they do. iPads purchased for keeping in touch, daily activities, the list goes on forever.
Thank you Gracewell.

I cannot praise this care home highly enough in all aspects that you could ever wish for. In a time of need, they came to my rescue and from that moment on they have been fantastic, offering support and care to the highest standards alongside facilities, support and standards that you would really wish
for an elderly relative. In times when unfortunately some care homes fall into a lower category, be assured that this home can be thoroughly recommended. Their professionalism and friendliness is second to none... you will not be disappointed. Excellent.

Dad has been a resident of Gracewell since its opening. Through lots of changes, one thing has always been consistent. The high level of compassionate, empathic, quality care from all staff. During dad's final two weeks, of end of life care, the staff on the top floor were amazing. Dad, myself and sister
were cared for, above and beyond. Nothing was too much trouble, and we will never forget their kindness. Thank you so much.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.810)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.810) out of 10 for Parker Meadows 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 27 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.810 for Parker Meadows is calculated as follows: ( (274 Excellents x 5) + (34 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 321 Ratings = 4.81

  • 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 Parker Meadows is based on 26 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 26 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.
