Since my partner arrived at Glenvale Park, I have not heard one bad word said about the care/service/staff or any other aspect of her stay at the home. My partner never stops praising the staff and their way of making sure she stays safe and happy. I try to come every day that someone from her family
cannot visit and I am treated with respect. My partner is slowly losing her memory but if she always remembers the wonderful way she is being treated, it will be another wonderful chapter of her fantastic life.

My first contact was with the home manager at Glenvale Park care home. He was very approachable and easy to talk to. I explained that my elderly mother needed care at a care home. The manager was very understanding, helpful and instrumental in enabling Mum and my family to make a decision.
Glenvale
Park definitely has the 'wow' factor. The care home is clean, fresh, bright and clutter free.
When my mum entered Glenvale Park, she was greeted with the red carpet treatment. The manager and some of the staff were there to greet her and she was presented with a bouquet of flowers. She was taken to her room and all the staff visited her. It made her feel special.
The room was like a 5-star hotel room - a bathroom with a walk-in shower, an electrically operated bed, cupboards and dressing table and not to forget the TV and the mini-fridge.
The care my mum is receiving is good and any needs or concerns are addressed swiftly. The food quality is good too with a choice of menu.
There is plenty going on at Glenvale - Hairdressing, chiropodist, shows, cinemas, activities, daily walks and many more.
The staff are always available when needed.

The care home is a modern, well-designed, purpose-built home. It is very well filled out, furnished and decorated to provide a comfortable, relaxing and practical environment for staff and residents alike. All the staff are friendly and caring towards the residents, treating them with kindness and respect,
and they respond well to each other, making a happy atmosphere to live and work in. The residents agree that the food and variety of the menu are very good and well-presented, encouraging their enjoyment. Judging from the cheerful greetings from residents and staff during my visits, the management has certainly found the right formula for successful caring at this care home. A pleasure to visit.

My mum is so happy at Glenvale Park. It is a big transition moving from your own independent living to a care home but we are so glad she is living in Glenvale Park and our mother is happier now than she has been for a long time. The activities are excellent, she no longer phones us with anxiety but
is happy and content. She loves her room and it is so nice the way the room can be personalised. The manager is excellent and their team there go above and beyond - genuinely caring for their elderly occupants. It's a lovely place to visit too.

My mum has lived at Glenvale Park since June and she is so much happier than she was. We were really impressed with the facilities, and as a brand new care home, the design is lovely and light. The rooms are beautiful and really cheerful. Mum takes part in all the activities and the day is certainly
filled for them. The staff and management are brilliant. Again from the first enquiry to moving in and now living there, all of the people are friendly and helpful and there is a great level of care for residents. I would highly recommend Glenvale Park, I know mum is safe and being well looked after.

Our mother was treated with the greatest care, dignity and kindness by all staff, from the manager and carers to the maintenance and catering staff, during her time at Glenvale park - a true team effort. She was one of the first residents and any teething troubles we had in this new facility were dealt
with promptly. At the end of her life, the care and support we were all given were exemplary - we cannot thank them enough.

Mum has been at Glenvale Park for two weeks now, she has improved immensely she is happier, calm not anxious and takes part in activities as staff go the extra mile to make sure they all take part. Plenty of dancing, singing, games, gardening and walks outside. The food is exceptional. Glenvale Park
home is bright and airy. The manager and his team are very welcoming and caring, show compassion and take their time with the residents. Mum cannot praise the staff enough, likewise. The best decision made as mum needs only the best care and surroundings, which then makes us happy to see her relaxed and happy. Thank you all at Glenvale Park.

My father has been at the home for a two-week respite stay. We have been so impressed with the whole experience. The quality of the building and his room, the facilities and activities have all been outstanding. He has dementia and a number of other conditions. The carers have been fantastic in looking
after him. He is content, relaxed and happy. We will definitely be here again when he next needs some respite care. Thank you.

We have had a very positive experience with settling Dad into Glendale Park. From the initial enquiry, the manager listened to Dad's requirements and all the staff have been so friendly and caring. The home is beautiful and clean with so many facilities and outstanding entertainment. It has given Dad
a new social life after living independently for the last four years.

The home is a new build home and is very modern with fantastic facilities; this is relevant as my father compares this to a luxury hotel, which makes all the difference to him.
Overall, our experience has exceeded our expectations. The staff are professional and caring and most of all patient with
residents. It takes a certain character to work in care homes and I truly believe Glenvale Park has the best of the best when it comes to the staff.
We are very engaging with the senior management and they are very receptive to our opinions and thoughts on aspects of my father's care; from food to medical, and everything in between.
There are always plenty of activities for residents to engage in and build a community within which is very supportive to other residents.
Overall it gives me great comfort to know that my father is being well looked after.
I cannot thank to team enough.

When making initial enquiries for respite care for an elderly relative we were impressed with the friendly, responsive and informative details received over the phone from Glenvale Park. A visit was offered and a tour of the facilities followed. Our relative moved in for respite care and then as a permanent
resident. The care provided has been exemplary and we are always able to speak to a member of the team if we have any questions/concerns. It is a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The care home is new and the facilities are modern, functional and the staff are well trained and cater for all the needs of the residents. We are delighted that we found such a warm and friendly home for our relative.

The care my parents have experienced here is the best I have seen anywhere. The management and staff are wonderful and take their time to make sure everyone is happy and well cared for. Everything is done with professionalism, genuine concern and a smile. The rooms and facilities are beautiful, like

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.874)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.874) out of 10 for Glenvale Park is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 62 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 60 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 4.874 for Glenvale Park is calculated as follows: ( (657 Excellents x 5) + (61 Goods x 4) + (14 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 733 Ratings = 4.874

  • 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 Glenvale Park is based on 60 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 60 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.
