My mum has been a resident of Gorsey Clough, for over 4 years. The staff there go above and beyond to look after Mum's needs, which can change daily. The manager is very proud of his staff. Any problem is sorted out promptly. I couldn't ask for better, thank you all.
15 January 2025
Staff are brilliant with each resident and needs are tailored to their own individual care! They have kept my grandma safe and engage her therapeutically daily! The place is clean and looked after perfectly! The place and care are outstanding and highly recommended for anyone looking to place a relative into long-term care.

My husband died in Gorsey Clough on August 17th 2024. He had been in the care of the staff for 5 months and he was very well looked after. His dementia came with nighttime wanderings and daytime pacing so he needed constant surveillance. Despite Ray having some angry responses and refusing to shower and shave regularly the caring staff always somehow gently managed to calm him down, get him to shower and get the shaving done as regularly as they could. During his last week when he was bedridden, the staff cared for him very well and our family knew that he was never alone. We stayed with him through the night and the staff came with cups of tea and toast. His final night we were home but he was not alone when he died, as one of the staff was by his side as he took his last breath. The family visited him regularly and none of us ever heard a raised voice from the staff, we only witnessed the kindest care of our loved one. Staff deserve medals for doing this job with such compassion.

Thank you to everyone at Gorsey Clough Nursing Home for the outstanding support and care that was provided to my mother whilst she was there. She had to be moved from another home, which fell short on so many levels. Fortunately, we had the complete opposite experience here and couldn't have asked for more. It is the people that make any business and here you have the most welcoming and friendly staff, who will always go above and beyond, to deliver a five-star service.

Due to my mother's rapidly deteriorating condition (end-stage cancer), she had to temporarily move into a nursing home, whilst suitable changes were made at her own home. The registered manager helped to make all the relevant arrangements to have Mum transported to Gorsey Clough and ensured that she had a lovely room available for her stay. The nurses, health care assistants and everyone my mum came into contact with throughout her stay were absolutely wonderful. They were; extremely caring, thoughtful, responsive and kind and nothing was too much trouble. During her stay, staff would often pop in for a chat to see how she was doing, which helped to keep her spirits up, whilst the food was always varied and lovingly prepared by the resident chef. Sadly, my mum has now passed away, but if you are in the process of trying to find a suitable place for your loved one, then you can't go wrong with Gorsey Clough.

My father came to Gorsey Clough in January 2020, from another care home which hadn’t suited his needs. My father passed away 5 days ago, the compassion, professionalism and hard work by all involved in his care was impeccable. My father was a tricky customer in the early days as his particular dementia was complex and made him difficult to handle at times. There is no 'I' in team and everyone who works there plays an important part. The cooks, cleaners (the home is spotless), laundry staff (my father’s clothes would be washed and back the same day), the care staff, nurses, office staff, entertainment staff, manager, assistant manager and agency staff (hope I’ve not forgotten anybody). One particular member of agency staff who worked with my dad for years, treated him with the utmost respect, dignity and compassion and cared for him at times, under difficult circumstances, particularly in the early days. The end-of-life care my dad received and the support for me was 5 star.

My wife has been a resident for 8 months and I cannot speak highly enough of the staff, nurses, carers, admin and domestic, without exception they're friendly, kind, helpful and above all caring! I have observed so many small acts of kindness to residents be it a hug, kind words, or a joke - it gives you real confidence that your loved one is in safe hands. The manager expects high standards from his staff but also motivates them to develop their careers. He is also very responsive to the needs of relatives, my first Christmas alone he invited me and others to partake in the residents Christmas Day lunch. There are duty boards at the entrance showing minimum and actual staffing levels and, without exception, there are more nurses and carers on duty than the minimum required. Can you imagine that being the case in a corporate-owned home? Credit to the owners who've employed an outstanding manager and backed him financially to provide an excellent caring environment.

Mum moved to Gorsey Clough in February 2022 following DTA and a long stay in Royal Bolton Hospital. It was a shock and very distressing for Mum not to be going back to her own home and it was very difficult for me to navigate what was going on as communication between Bolton Council SW, CHC and the hospital was non-existent! It took almost 3 months to get Mum assessed and decided that she needed 24-hour nursing care. Trying to view a care home during COVID was difficult and I needed to get mum close by. I had visited Gorsey and was struck by how warm and caring the Home felt and they had assured me they would contact me if a place became available thankfully after 1 week at 4 Seasons. The transition was seamless for Mum. I find all staff, office, nursing, carers and management so welcoming and caring. Always available for any questions or help. Gorsey Clough maintains the warm caring family atmosphere while being highly professional. Cannot thank them enough.
04 January 2024
The experience my dad has received from the very first day has been absolute first class. The care is of the very highest standard, with experienced staff who exemplify professional and patience. From the moment we selected Gorsey Clough as the place for my dad to be cared for, each and every member of staff have made the overall experience so smooth and easy to deal with. It is always a difficult decision to have to make and so hard to choose between care homes on paper, but knowing what we do now, we certainly made the right choice and would make the exact same decision all over again. Always a horrible situation to be in having to place a loved one into someone else's care, but wouldn't hesitate to recommend Gorsey Clough if you have the unfortunate decision to make too.

My dad has been a resident at Gorsey Clough for nearly 2 years. The progress my dad has made within that time has been amazing, he has gone from being quite angry and frustrated after his stroke and losing his mobility and some short term memory loss, also at the beginning refusing to eat. He is now a lot calmer, less frustrated, no longer on medication for depression and eats pretty much everything put in front of him. I have a lot of praise for the manager and all the staff that look after my dad from the day we viewed the home and the knowledge that the manager had about the type of stroke my dad had and the side affects and how to deal with that was very reassuring and out of the one meeting probably gave us more information than the hospital ever did. To the every day care of my dad and how they have all got to know him and know how to deal with my dad to get him to corporate on his down days and they all know his sense of humour and have a good laugh with my dad and make him smile even on a bad day.

I would just like to say thank you to the team at Gorsey Clough for looking after my grandad. Thank you for allowing our family to arrange special visits around Birthdays and special occasions. The home has a lovely atmosphere upon arrival and the staff usually go above and beyond to make you feel welcomed as part of the Gorsey family. The parking facilities have massively improved since and the home has since started further improvements, creating a great vision of what the future holds at Gorsey. Lovely rural location with stunning bedroom window views of the farm animals. It would be nice if we could possibly add more homely individual touches to the residents' rooms if possible if health and safety allows us too as I feel this is the only small thing missing. But that's just my personal preference and it doesn't effect the rating I would give. The food looks delicious every time I visit, nice portion sizes and a good variety. Thank you for looking after him and cheering him up daily.

The care Mum receives is sensitive, supportive and engaging. The carers, nurses and whole team are kind, friendly and welcoming. Nothing is too much trouble. They work tirelessly to make sure the residents are settled and happy. The activities have been fantastic - a visit to Blackpool and the events throughout the year well organised and inviting. The recent Christmas Party was thoroughly enjoyed by us all.

Our grandma is currently residing at Gorsey Clough. We cannot fault the home. She is well looked after and there are regular events to keep her and the other residents entertained. The home is always clean and tidy and nothing is too much trouble.
02 January 2024
I am very happy with the staff members of Gorsey Clough; they are welcoming, caring and hard-working. Outings are arranged for the residents often, and activities are always ongoing for them. My mum has really settled into the home due to the banter staff have with her knowing her personality.
02 January 2024
Super friendly, professional staff. Care home is always spotless, and you can tell the staff truly care. The manager is always looking at ways to improve the care home for the residents. My dad has been at Gorsey Clough for a number of years and has formed close bonds with a lot of the staff despite his condition. It's comforting to know that he is so well cared for.

I would highly recommend Gorsey Clough to all my friends and family should they ever need care for their loved ones. My husband has been very happy since arriving at Gorsey Clough and every time I visit him he always comments on how nice and friendly the staff are which I also agree. Nothing is ever too much for them, they will always go that extra mile to ensure the residents are always happy. The bedrooms and other rooms within the home are nicely decorated and always clean. I also like the fact that they always include family members for special events. They provide activities for the residents and trips out, which were not provided in previous homes. My husband is so settled and knowing this I am very happy as is the rest of the family. I would like to Thank the manager and all the staff for the great care and support they provide.

Gorsey Clough is a great care home. I feel complete confidence that my dad is safe and well cared for. The staff are so caring and gentle with my dad and other residents. They are very good at communicating with us about any issues or concerns they or we have. It is like home from home, freshly homemade cooked meals, plenty of activities to keep them occupied and a cinema room. My dad doesn’t use it but when I’ve seen the other residents using it you can see how happy and relaxed they are. It’s so nice knowing my dad is happy and content and doesn’t need or want anything different as they provide and care so much.

Nothing but praise for all the highly professional, kind and compassionate staff who cared for my husband during his stay at Gorsey Clough Nursing Home. As a family, we were warmly welcomed by every member of staff who introduced themselves and asked if there was anything we needed, nothing was too much trouble. The cleanliness of the home was outstanding and the decor was tasteful and cheerful. My husband's care was exceptional, his dignity was maintained throughout and his comfort and safety was their priority. He enjoyed a varied menu and his laundry service was most efficient. The home manager invests in his staff, treats them well and he should take credit for the excellent results. An outstanding nursing home with great leadership.

When we realised that the time had come for Mum to have residential dementia care we struggled to find the right nursing home for her due to her needs. It was a difficult time for the family. We were so fortunate to find Gorsey Clough. As expected it took some time for Mum to settle but with patience and careful monitoring of her medication, reassurance and love and care, the team at Gorsey Clough helped her to settle. She enjoys her new home and seems happy and content, enjoying the varied activities that the staff provide. We know that she is safe, secure and loved and cared for and that is so reassuring to the family. The team also care for us as a family, helping us to come to terms with Mum's needs as her dementia progresses. Thank you so much! We would highly recommend Gorsey Clough to other families.
12 July 2022
My mum was brought into Gorsey Clough in December 2021, since Mum has been here she has done amazing and the care she gets is second to none. All the carers are so loving towards her, it's so clean and it's run extremely well with the manager. I can't praise this nursing home enough, every member of staff is amazing, I always feel so happy when I see Mum now as she is doing so well and it's all because of the care and love she receives from everyone there. They make sure she has always got her dignity. Love you all, keep doing what you're doing.
