The carers are always kind and cheerful, and I'm grateful my husband is being so well looked after. The admin, kitchen, and cleaning staff are very helpful too, and everyone makes me feel welcome. Thank you all.

I have been living in Green Gates for six years and am happy here. I have a lovely room which looks on to the garden. I am well-fed and well-looked after. I feel safe and secure here and get value for money.

The carers and staff continue to be excellent and a recent fall has shown me once again how well I am supported. I am very grateful to all concerned. The food is always well prepared and presented and I am very pleased to be starting my 4th year here.

Always helpful and friendly. All staff try their best. Impressed with the cleanliness. Just a proposal: an intercom system at the main door would be great if a visitor needs to speak to the reception before entering the building. Will you be able to convey this proposal to the relevant department?

My mother has recently celebrated her 100th birthday at Green Gates. The staff could not have done more to make it a wonderfully memorable occasion: delicious home-prepared food and lovely cake at her tea party; beautiful decorations and a huge welcome for all our family, including seven great-grandchildren, who had such fun. The managers made all the arrangements, the kitchen staff served excellent refreshments and the carers got my mother ready and looked after her so kindly and skilfully. They made it a very special occasion for all the family. My mother has been at Green Gates for 18 months, after a series of falls and breaking her hip. She was very frail and confused but the excellent nursing care has made her much more comfortable and happily settled. We have met so much kindness and love from the excellent carers, nurses and managers. We are always welcomed as visitors at any time.

The general experience of being a care home resident at Green Gates Care Home is ok but there seems to be a disconnect between staff and management. The staff are struggling with heavy workloads and insufficient praise and support from management who are mostly invisible to residents and seem not to be involved with them personally. Facilities like baths are not available, having been converted into an equipment store room. Activities seem patchy and unpredictable, although good when delivered e.g. Owls and penguin contact.

Most of the staff are helpful. The food is lovely. I am able to choose what I eat. I have some good friends. My room needs painting.

I have been in Green Gates for a year now. Prior to this, I have only been in other homes for short periods. This is by far the best. The food is varied. The staff are very respectful in working, showing and cleaning. I make the effort to join in as many of the plentiful activities as I can. I look forward to the activities which are well organised this winter.

Greengates has been transformative in the way it has cared for my mother who is 89, non-verbal and immobile and very much at the end of her life. I cannot thank the manager enough for her persistence with multiple agencies in unblocking the roadblocks to ensure that my mother was able to move to Greengates. Now that my mother is at Greengates I am confident that she is being looked after in the way we want for her. That has brought peace where once there was intense, gnawing anxiety in my mind and heart. That is priceless. Thank you so much to the manager and team. This is a lovely care home run in a way that inspires confidence.

The family's experience of the care home has been generally very good. The staff and friendly and caring and any requests are dealt with efficiently. My mother is always happy in herself and that is very reassuring to the family.

My husband celebrated his 70th birthday last week and the staff made his special day a memorable one. With a beautiful chocolate cake and cream tea my husband with friends and residents had a lovely afternoon. Thank you Green Gates.

Following a series of falls and hospital admissions, my 91-year-old mother clearly needed 24-hour nursing care. I have visited a number of care homes and can say confidently, that Green Gates is by far one of the best. I live a long distance away from the area and have had no issues contacting my mother either because one of the staff will take a mobile phone and contact me or will take the home's mobile phone to my mother when I call. The information shown in the daily care plan are incredibly detailed and the online portal system is very comforting as I can check my mother's care on a daily basis. Every time either my sisters or I have visited Green Gates, we have always been welcomed by the staff who are extremely friendly and supportive. My mother is clearly very well settled and happy and although she generally prefers to stay in her room, she always reports that the food is good and the staff are lovely. Although my mother's room is rather small it is well-appointed.

I visited my friend yesterday. The staff welcomed me at the door and were very friendly. I witnessed an interaction between staff and another resident in the lounge and it just made my day. Seeing smiles on faces said it all.
