Dad was taken to the Gables Care Home on December 23rd 2024. Lovely greeting, very friendly staff, went above and beyond to support him and his family.

Unfortunately my aunt who was 88 at the time, was "allegedly" assaulted by a carer. The very person who was meant to be looking after her. She suffered a black eye, which she couldn't open. All of this was witnessed by another carer. But due to insufficient evidence, the police couldn't press charges. The "alleged" attacker was suspended and dismissed several weeks later. My aunt is on end of life care and is suffering from advanced Alzheimer's dementia and weighs approximately 3.5 stone. Hardly a threat to anyone. Due to her frailty, she's stuck there. Other than that, the Gables is okay.

The staff are friendly and make you welcome. When handling concerns you can express your concerns and most of the time they are acted on. The residents have enjoyed having an activities person. Mum loves the food and snacks. The security is good. Things to work on. Washing of hair, hands and food under nails and feet not washed so dirt collects between toes. Pressure cushions smell of urine and commodes often smell. Rooms need decorating and carpets replaced. The garden could be used a lot more.

My brother-in-law actually asked us to arrange for him to stay at The Gables as he had become unwell and realised he couldn't take care of himself and his father had been a short-term resident a few years back. During his stay, his health declined quite rapidly and he was eventually admitted to hospital where his decline sadly continues to worsen. But while he was at the Gables the staff were really supportive, caring and kind. They did their utmost to assist him, keeping us informed every step of the way. I would recommend The Gables to anyone seeking a caring and safe place for their family members who require that extra helping hand.

Following discharge from hospital following major surgery this 92-year-old man on end-of-life care has and is receiving extraordinary care and attention at this care home. From the top down, the staff are clearly a concerned team and they are all doing all that can be done for the resident's welfare and comfort. It is very comforting to see that the care and surroundings, plus the effort that has gone into his room facilities is paying serious dividends in terms of end-of-life comfort and care. I am, to say the least, very pleased that he is receiving the best of attention at this stage of life, and commend the staff for their outstanding care practices and the provision of the essential resources to accommodate, they are a credit to the profession.

My brother has been at The Gables for the last 11 months in that time he was very settled and thrived, he loved all the staff from the care staff to management. He was treated with love and respect, sadly my brother passed away this week. The staff and management were fantastic, would recommend for families looking for care.

My mum has resided here for more than eight years. She settled in nicely after a few weeks and has been very happy. She always praised the girls for making her feel at home, always there to help when needed and very friendly. The manager and senior staff were always willing to sort out any minor issues. Sadly Mum passed away over the Easter period, aged 101! I will always be grateful to them all for making her last eight years happy ones.

My aunt moved into The Gables in April 2023 and from day 1 was very well looked after and the carers, kitchen staff, cleaning staff and the management were great. She was very happy there but sadly she passed away in February this year.

The staff at the Gables were excellent and looked after my friend well. However, the quality of the food was very poor, meals served cold and for the first week of her stay, there were no vegetables. Also, the activities programme we were told about at our viewing turned out to be non-existent. My friend was at the Gables for 3 weeks and asked me to get her moved. As stated, the staff are excellent and caring but for people without dementia, this is not an ideal home. Also as she is independent and could shower herself the lack of hand bars was not ideal.

Although my Mum was only in The Gables for a few weeks, she settled really quickly and was cared for really well. Her room had views of the harbour, was always clean and she always looked really comfortable. All the staff were really friendly and always had time for a chat. They supported me and my family through her final days and did everything they could for us all.

Mum was in The Gables for over a year and sadly passed away in April 2023. Her condition deteriorated over that time due to Dementia, so her care needs were constantly changing. Throughout the whole time, her care was exemplary, and I cannot praise every one of the staff enough.

My father is in this residential home and he’s very happy with the care he receives. Plus, it’s spotless. My father has come on so well since he’s been here and all his family are very happy with his care. He has such a lovely room with an amazing view of the sea. I’m leaving here knowing my dad is very safe.

Just like to say the senior is very understanding. Brilliant at her job, always there to answer my questions and sort out any problems. My dad is finding it hard to settle in after living on his own. Some staff need to be more understanding of these residents that have to go into care and leave their whole life they know behind and come to terms with moving into a small bedroom they now have to call home, with very little of their own belongings. More passion and empathy wouldn't go amiss.

Recently, my mum had urgent need to be housed in a safe and secure environment. With the assistance of social services, a room was offered at The Gables Care Home. Immediately, my fears and worries were alleviated. I cannot thank the Staff enough for all their care, patience and attention given to my mum, since her arrival nothing is too much trouble. She tells me how helpful and loving the staff are and how nice the food is and it is lovely to see her smiling again. Once again, thank you to the management and support staff of The Gables.

My aunt had been a resident of The Gables for six and a half years and was extremely well looked after. Unfortunately, she passed away in November but the care and compassion the staff showed her was above and beyond and we are very grateful.

Well, this is my last and final review of the Gables. My dad had nearly made his 8 years on September 16th which would have been his birthday and he would have been 81 - he also went into the Gables on his birthday. He had chronic mobility, Parkinson's disease and dementia. Sadly he deteriorated very quickly with not being able to hardly talk and swallow which was so, so distressing. He finally passed peacefully on 4/09/2022 thank God. We now know he is at peace and has not got to suffer anymore - sadly life is very cruel to some. My mum and I would like to thank every single member of staff at the Gables for the love they gave him and my mum and I. I had to clear out his room and the staff were so upset as I know they loved him. It's been a horrid 8 years watching a loved one fade away but we get comfort he was looked after right until the end and every single member of staff knows what we think of them. For one last time, from the bottom of our hearts - thank you all.

I chose the Gables for my sister because it was near to my home and I would be able to visit regularly. I deemed this important as she had dementia and lacked capacity. From my first conversation with the manager, I knew I had made the right choice. No effort was spared to assist me in settling my sister. In fact, her physical condition improved greatly and I and her visitors said they had noticed a marked improvement in her since admission. We were shocked when my sister passed away some 6 weeks later. Indeed it is fair to say that the staff felt so too. This situation however does not detract from the care she received during this period.

All the staff are compassionate and caring. They treat my mum with great sensitivity and kindness. The staff work hard to ensure there are plenty of activities and entertainment and I feel reassured that my mum is safe and happy there.

Mum has only been in The Gables for a few weeks. Mum seems to have settled in well and appears happy.

My mum lived in The Gables for 3 and a half years. The staff were always open, friendly, well trained and extremely caring. Everyone treated her with kindness and respect, which just increased as her dementia took hold and she became more difficult. I would highly recommend The Gables as a care home.
