This is my 3rd visit to see my friend I know he is comfortable and all of his needs are met admirably he is happy and is contented in himself and I have noticed he looked better in himself as he is now eating much better. The staff are so good and nothing seems too much for them which I find genuine.
Thank you.

I visit my friend in Groveland Park Care Home once every 1-2 weeks. I find that the care that my friend gets is very good, and his needs are well managed. The staff are both polite and friendly to both my friend and myself (a visitor). I often stay for a meal with my friend and always find the food
well cooked and hot.
The only downside is that when my friend is in pain and asks for paracetamol, it is often a long time coming because the person who dispenses medicines is on another floor.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

Thank you for your review and the comments that you made. I will speak to your friend regarding the pain relief and ensure him that there are other trained members of staff in the home that can assist with a request if one person is busy at that time, ensure that all staff are seeking assistance when requested. Thank you for sharing your comment that you enjoy the food and we hope to see you back again soon.

My mother stayed at Groveland Park for 3 weeks following a stay in hospital. She entered the home incredibly weak under weight unable to do most simple tasks for herself. During her stay, she made incredible progress. 3 weeks later she had put on weight began walking again and was able to return to
her house. During her stay, we enjoyed the facilities. Grovelands let us use the cinema room to celebrate a belated Christmas as my mother had missed Christmas whilst being in hospital.
We were also treated to a magic show as the Carehome were holding an event that evening. The staff were extremely accommodating and we enjoyed drinks from the bistro and enjoyed celebrating Christmas.
My aunt is also a resident at the Carehome and we also were able to celebrate her birthday at the same. It was the first time the whole family had been together for over a year it was a very special, memorable evening.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

Thank you for your review. Hospital stays can be very challenging, but knowing that we were able to assist your Mother in getting back to better health and back on her feet enabling her to go back home, meant a lot to us too. Seeing the whole family together was a joy for us and being able to facilitate these special times is a pleasure and a privilege. I shall pass on your review to the whole team here at Groveland Park.

Mum seemed more cheerful this morning, the ladies made us drinks in the bistro bar whilst we played games. The bistro bar has been refurbished to a high standard and having a coffee there feels like having a drink in a hotel lounge. One thing I would query is that dogs don't seem to be allowed in the
bistro bar and I would consider this a retrograde step. My mum always liked dogs and it would be good for her to interact with our dog and other residents and family dogs. Overall we are very happy with the service. Fine dining is an excellent concept and we really enjoyed it just before Christmas.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

Thank you for your review of our care home. I am pleased to hear that you are happy with our service and that your visits to our newly refurbished Bistro are enjoyed by you and your Mum. The fine dining experience is a wonderful way to spend time together as a family. We welcome all feedback for a chance to improve our service to meet individual expectations. We welcome family pets to our home with measures in place to meet requirements, I have discussed this with the team and look forward to discussing this personally with you.

Care and staff are excellent but not good at keeping family up to date despite frequent requests. Food and drink all lovely and plenty of it, home-cooked and tasty and good variety. In the last year, they stopped relatives eating with residents in the bistro and have to sit in the dining room and that's
hard and not enough room for more than one person. Very unwilling to allow me to discuss with decision-makers at head office. Feel very uncomfortable and shut out and lost another part of Mum.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

Thank you for your review of our care home. I am pleased that you find our staff to be excellent and that you enjoy the food and drink on offer. I am sorry that you find when eating the main meal of the day with your loved one in the dining room is hard, I will continue to review this. We welcome families and friends to enjoy sharing this experience with their loved ones in a variety of ways including Bistro meals and drinks in the Bar Bistro, fine dining for special occasions and family gatherings. This has altered over the last year as we continue with our refurbishment programme. We communicate with families and keep them up to date via different methods and during the Resident of The Day reviews. I welcome the opportunity to discuss this to ensure that we get this right for you. I will share this review with the team.

Mum is very happy at Groveland and takes part in all the activities. The hair and nails facility is great for her and the dining is excellent.
The home provided lovely food for my mum's birthday in the newly refurbished bistro. They laid it all out for the family so we could all relax with Mum. The
two members of staff in the bistro are amazing - nothing is too much trouble.
Mum is looked after very well and is always smiling. Thanks to all the staff.

My dad first stayed at Groveland Park Care Home in February 2024 for 5 weeks of respite, however, after the 5 weeks he decided he wanted to be a resident as the staff were so caring and he especially felt safe at night, knowing someone was there 24 hours if he needed help with anything. The home was
spotlessly clean. All staff from the laundry up to the manager were so friendly and made Dad's life there happy and very well looked after. Thank you all for everything you did for him.

Thank you for your lovely review. Looking after and caring for your dad was a privilege and a pleasure.

More show home than care home!
My dad lived here for 14 months until he was asked to leave because they no longer accepted insulin-dependent residents. The care quality varies depending on who is working. While he is better off now, the process of relocating a loved one is stressful and unsettling,
something the management doesn't seem to consider. Staff turnover is alarmingly high, and there are never enough staff. I witnessed a man told to wet himself because no one could help him to the toilet.
My dad was assaulted twice in six months by other residents and his personal items, including his wedding and signet rings, went missing. Though the home looks nice, management prioritizes appearance over care. Carers are trained to fold napkins but lack proper skills to care for dementia patients with patience and empathy. There's no specialized dementia care, just a floor for residents with dementia.
Do not put your loved one here thinking it will be their forever home, it probably won't be.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

Sorry that you are not happy with the service. I am pleased to hear that your dad is now receiving adequate clinical care which was not possible in a residential home with support from community services. We appreciate the process of any resident having to move homes, not something that we often have to do, and done with their best interest in mind. Our staff turnover is comparable to other homes, we ensure we have adequate staffing levels. Our robust safeguarding policy encourages residents, families, visitors and staff to report concerns, which are managed in line with government and local guidelines when reported. Please email me details of any concerns that you have. At times, those living with dementia require additional support, we work with other agencies to ensure a holistic approach. Our Dementia Champions have enhanced training. For many residents, this is their forever home, having lived here for many years, happy with the care and service.

My Dad moved into Groveland in August 2023 and settled well. Initially everything seemed excellent however as my Dad's condition deteriorated due to his dementia it became apparent that this care home is not equipped to deal with dementia patients with the level of care and compassion required.
My
Dad was very settled yet due to his diabetes and the home's inability to offer the level of care required when coupled with dementia, he was served notice to find an alternative care home.
This is not what we expected when we placed our Dad into this care home and shows that they don't really care about the residents. This care home is only interested in its profits, when it actually has to care for its residents it's time to move them on.
Please think very carefully before trusting your loved ones with these people.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

I am sorry that you feel that you had to leave this review. We have many residents who are well cared for while living with their dementia, some who have been in the home for many years, they and their families are very pleased with the service and care provided. Unfortunately, at times when clinical issues are coupled with dementia, the clinical safety can become paramount to that resident and is not always be possible to meet those needs in a residential setting even with the support from other professional agencies. Multi-disciplinary decisions are made when we have to ask families to seek an alternative home to manage their loved one's clinical issues, this can be very hard for families to agree with. We consider that resident care, safety and happiness comes above profits which is why, at times, this hard decision must be made. We have many positive reviews from families and residents who have been very happy with the care provided for those living with and without dementia.

Staff are always very warm and welcoming, facilities are excellent with frequent refurbishment and upgrades in rooms and communal areas with very high detail and comfort for residents and their visitors. All residents are known well by name and supported to make their own choices and retain as much
independence and autonomy as is safe for them to do so. Residents are offered regular days out and in-house activities that offer a wide variety of fun, and stimulation. Hair and nails are cared for offering a real pampering experience for those who enjoy this. Birthdays are celebrated for all residents with banners and birthday cakes and much celebration to ensure they have a very special day. I think we would all hope to remain in our own homes and enjoy our freedom for as long as we possibly can, but then when that is no longer safe or manageable, Grovelands would be at the very top of my wish list for myself as well as my loved ones! Many thanks to all the staff for all you do.

Mum has stayed here at Groveland Park a few times for respite and the home has always provided good care, the staff and manager are lovely and always there if you want to speak with them. I would definitely recommend this home to anyone who has a relative or loved one to stay either permanently or respite.
Although I would rather not share this lovely home with others as it may be too full for when Mum needs respite again as it's a little gem.
Thank you all who looked after Mum this November.

Taking my sister to visit our cousin it was wonderful to see how well she had settled in. A lovely little ensuite bedroom with a little attached garden, perfect for her. A very great sense of safety and security and friendship despite her growing 'dementia.' She didn't know who we are till my sister
showed her family photos.
Being able to have a very good meal with her too was an added blessing, and all the staff were friendly and welcoming.

My mum has been at Groveland Park for almost a year - she was quite poorly and underweight when she arrived. She is now in very good health and is back to her normal weight. She has been very happy there and I have nothing but praise for all the staff who care for her so well. She enjoys all the food
which is of a very high quality and she joins in with a lot of activities. Her mind is also much sharper than previously. Highly recommend!

My friend entered Groveland Park in October 2019, suffering from Alzheimer's. We were assured it would be a home for life, providing he didn't require nursing care. Initially, the service was exceptional providing an outstanding level of care, activities and lots of staff interaction. Following Covid
my friend's Alzheimer's/Dementia deteriorated and staff seemed to interact with him less. The staff struggled to maintain his personal care. On agreement, he was moved to the Dementia Unit. There was no plan or communication for settling him in. I witnessed two staff on the dementia unit and at both times they were stressed and under pressure, finding it difficult to deal with the residents' needs. My friend's behaviour deteriorated, Groveland's sent him to hospital and the manager refused to have him back. I requested a report on my friend's needs from the manager to help re-home him, but this was never provided. My friend is in another Care Home, settled and the staff can deal with his personal care.

Reply from Caroline Cheeseman, Manager at Groveland Park Care Home

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you felt that we had not met your individual expectations. For those who are living with dementia, every journey is different and unique. We, like all providers, have to at times make decisions that are hard for all involved after exploring as many other resolutions before matters are sometimes taken out of our hands. I am pleased that your friend has settled well into a home that can meet his specialised needs.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.511)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.511) out of 10 for Groveland Park 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 29 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 4.511 for Groveland Park Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (225 Excellents x 5) + (75 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) + (10 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.511

  • 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 Groveland Park Care Home 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 55 registered maximum number of service users is 11, 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.
