I cannot express my gratitude to the management and staff who looked after my Mum in the last few months of her life. The home was fantastic and the Manager runs a very tight ship and is respected by all her team. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for the love and attention they gave Mum.

My father has been a resident at Groveland Park for just over 9 months.
Dad's care has always been excellent which gives us, as a family, great peace of mind knowing he is safe and very happy.
Everywhere is very clean and bright.
All the staff are lovely and more like old friends.
They are always
available if you have any queries or concerns.
Every day the daily activities are well planned and fun.
The food is also excellent.
Wouldn't want anything more for Dad.

We visited an old friend and from the moment we arrived were made to feel very welcome.
We were helped through the signing in process and the staff knew exactly who we were there to see.
All staff were extremely friendly and the whole ambience of the home had a really lovely feel about it.
The food
in the bistro was excellent.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Groveland Park and would be very happy for our own parents to stay here.

My experience of Grovelands is that it is a very friendly and welcoming place. The reception staff are warm and friendly and helpful. Every staff member I have come in contact with have always been very helpful and whenever I am with my friend they treat her very well and with great respect. I would
live here when I am older.

I came to Groveland Park to visit two friends who reside here. They are both looked after so well, their care could not be bettered, in my opinion. The staff look after their every need with such care and compassion. They love the meals and the entertainment, where they can join in the variety of activities
or choose a book from the library and read in their room or in the lounge.
I cannot think of anything that can be provided that is not already here. I hope I can move in one day.

Staff at Groveland Park Care Home are always cheerful, helpful, caring and aware.
My mum moved to the home in June 2017 it had taken a while for her to settle but is now happy. She is well looked after. The home provides varied activities and stimulation of the residents. I have a great relationship
with carers and seniors and feel happy knowing that mum has lovely people looking after her. She is safe which gives me piece of mind.

I have been visiting the care home for the last 5 years. It is the cleanest, happiest home I have been to. staff are always helpful, friendly and caring. Residents are always happy and laughing. Food is fantastic, anything you ask for is provided. Families are welcomed. All in all, the BEST I have come
across. Groveland never smells of urine, like most other care homes.

My mum has been a resident of Groveland Park for two years until her death in April 2018. She was very unwell when she first went to Groveland Park but through their care, she became healthy and happy. Groveland Park became her home and we always knew she was safe and well-cared for. We also became
part of the Groveland Park family and were always made welcome. A fantastic place.

I visited with a view to putting my mother as a resident in the home. Having visited other homes we were very impressed with Groveland Park and put Mum on the waiting list. We knew from visiting that Mm would be very happy and well cared for in your care. Sadly this was not to be as we lost Mum 18 months
ago. On visiting our friend we still experience the same welcoming staff as you come in the front door, nothing is too much trouble. The care throughout from the manager and staff is wonderful. Having been to our friend's 100th birthday you did him proud - I shed a small tear on arrival as to what Mum had missed. Thank you.

My late mother made many friends during her stay at Groveland Park. Amongst them was a man who I visited today, as he celebrated his 100th birthday. The home is in an excellent condition, as it was when my mother lived there. It smells nice. The staff really care. The manager and her team work hard
and are organised. My friend is evidently well looked after and enjoying life. Groveland Park is an extraordinary and outstanding care home.

My mum has been in Groveland Park Care Home for just over a month and I could not have found a better home. The staff are so friendly, caring & professional. The home is immaculate. Plenty of activities and outings and as a family, we feel so welcomed. CQC have under rated this home as it should be
excellent not just good.
We truly fell on our feet when we discovered this home.

Our mum came here in June 2017. She is very head strong and very difficult. As a family, we are very happy with her care that she is receiving and couldn't imagine her going to any other home.
We would recommend this to any other family. Brilliant.

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.
