Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

The care home is unlike others in the area in that as soon as one enters the building it has the feel and looks of a hotel rather than a home. The resident's room is very good, attractive and kept scrupulously clean, the care is excellent, the staff nurses and carers alike are very approachable and
the family of the residents are also treated very well. They are kept well-informed of the resident’s health and welfare, they are able to visit at any time, are able to have meals with the resident if booked and can accompany residents to the entertainments if they wish. Nothing is too much trouble.


Above all, every single member of staff is friendly and welcoming, from the receptionist, cleaners, laundry workers, kitchen staff and the complete care team.


As I frequently tell friends and family, if I can’t have my husband at home then Gracewell is the best place he could be.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Choosing a care facility for a loved one - and then living with that decision - is one of the most stressful life events. I moved both vulnerable elderly parents to Gracewell Fareham 18 months ago. They both suffered from very severe dementia. I have witnessed nothing but exemplary care, delivered with
compassion and gentleness.
It is a family home environment, despite the fact that it is a professional nursing facility, and so there are no restrictions on visitors - 2 or 4 legged, feathers or fur.
There are a lot of staff in comparison to other facilities, and that is because each and every one of them can then focus primarily on the task that they are employed to do - so the environment is immaculate, laundry facilities are excellent, the food is wonderful, the gardens beautiful, the activities staff are very busy organising daily events and the nursing and caring teams have time to devote to your loved ones.
I can once again sleep at night because I know they are safe.

My mother attended Gracewell of Fareham in August for one month. She loved it so much that it was decided in October 2017 to go back on a permanent basis.


The building is always very clean and tidy.


The staff are all very friendly and so helpful. My mum loves it and it gives me peace of mind.

We are looking forward to many years of 'quality living'.

We have moved here from Spain with no furniture but Gracewell willingly supplied quality emergency furniture until such time as we can purchase our own.
They have all gone 'the extra mile' in making our transition from living abroad to settling in here as painless and without doubt stress-free as possible.
We love it here.

We have two good friends in Gracewell. It is a wonderful home and the care is excellent. The staff are patient and caring. There are excellent activities for residents we have experience of quite a few nursing/care homes and most do not come up to scratch. Gracewell is expensive but I realise the staffing
costs must be high.

While I am generally satisfied with the facilities at Gracewell of Fareham and also the level of care provided by staff I do feel that there is definitely room for improvement when it comes to food. My mother who has dementia often complains about the food provided. I have also spoken to other residents,
several of whom have voiced similar opinions. Also, laundry leaves a lot to be desired.

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.
