My mum received amazing care at Gledhow. The staff recognised her as an individual and got to know her despite her advanced dementia. They treated her with dignity and warmth and we're hugely grateful.

My husband settled so well into Gledhow and joined in the activities which amazed me! He was not a man for conversation at the end by the care was amazing all the way through his stay albeit only 3 weeks before his death.

My mum was moved from the hospital to Gledhow home which was a good move as she was able to spend the last couple of weeks of her life peacefully in her own room and visitors were able to come and go at different times instead of visiting hours. The staff were always friendly and helpful keeping me informed of Mum's condition and what had happened etc.

Staff are very willing, hard-working and friendly. Took a while to get Aunt covered to keep warm even though to visitors/staff the rooms were adequately heated.

During my wife's time at Gledhow, we were treated with the friendliest and greatest respect by all staff.

Since my mother's entry into Gledhow nearly 10 years ago, she has been treated with compassion and dignity by all the staff, when my mum entered the home, her life expectancy was 3 months, I think it is due to the excellent care she receives at the home is the reason for her longevity, the staff are a credit to the group and are superbly led by fantastic management and staff. Kind regards.

My wife has been in Gledhow Care Home for over a year now. She has advanced dementia and is very well looked after by the excellent staff who are always patient and friendly. The home has no restrictions on when I can visit and always keep me informed of what is happening in relation to my wife. I would thoroughly recommend the home.

The staff at Gledhow care home were fantastic in the way that they managed Mum's move from hospital into the facility and immediately made her comfortable and at home. She was always treated with care, dignity and respect and I am very grateful that her final days were in such a wonderfully caring place.

My Mum received wonderful care at Gledhow - all the staff are so caring, professional and respectful of the residents. The ethos is fantastic - nothing is too much trouble either for residents or relatives and the staff, whether nurses, carers or domestic staff, all buy into that approach and do brilliant jobs. I am so grateful for all the staff did for Mum and I know she could have been better cared for. Gledhow is a superb nursing home and if you can get a place for your relatives there do it!

Mum has only been at Gledhow for approx 3 weeks; however, the care she received was outstanding. In the last few days of Mum's life, it was so obvious that the staff were simply not doing a job; they actually really cared. I can honestly say that when I was asked to go the nursing home as Mum had deteriorated I wasn't sure if I would be able to handle the situation (as never had to do anything like that before. I was only able to do this with the support of the staff who also looked after me, keeping me fed and watered, as well as mum. I will never forget the kindness and care of every member of staff I encountered over the five days I was there. Special thanks to the senior male nurse and Deputy Manager who supported me on the day Mum passed. My sister and I will never forget the exceptional care Mum received and it brings us both comfort at this difficult time.

My mum has been at Gledhow for over 12 years. She has had excellent care throughout this time. The staff are wonderful. Very caring and kind. Management is also very good. Very responsive communication. I'm so thankful for everyone there, for all they do.

My father had a very good stay here. The staff were all lovely and helpful. Big special shout out to one of the staff who went above and beyond. Sadly he became ill due to his illness and had to be moved to a hospice. (His wish was to die at the hospice) but wouldn't hesitate to recommend the home and the manager and all the lovely staff.

Since my wife moved into Gledhow, she has been extremely well looked after by the excellent team. They are always welcoming and considerate and do their very best to keep her safe and well cared for. The homecooked meals are lovely - especially the homemade cake on her birthday. The continuous programme of activities demonstrated the dedication to making the residents feel stimulated and entertained. The staff are not only supportive of my wife but also of all of us as a family. Thank you, Gledhow!

I want to say a huge thank you to Gledhow for the wonderful care they gave my father over the last 3 months. He wasn't always an easy patient but they always showed the utmost respect for him, putting his welfare at the centre of everything they did. They were also a huge support for all of the family. We really can't thank them enough, they made a very difficult time bearable, thank you.

All staff very friendly and good at what they do. Can't comment on some things as my father-in-law did not use them i.e. food, facilities and activities. Thank you.

When we were in urgent need of nursing home support we could not have asked for more from the team at Gledhow. Within 4 hours of our initial visit they warmly welcomed Mum into their care. Naturally she did not wish to leave her own home and it was a great relief when she was soon expressing her surprise at how we had managed to find somewhere so homely with such welcoming and caring staff, responsive to her personal wishes. Being a regular church goer coming to terms with a terminal diagnosis the pastoral support provided by the dedicated chaplain was greatly appreciated. As Mum’s condition deteriorated the level of care was correspondingly increased, this including the assuring support of the specialist community nursing team based at a nearby hospice.

The staff at Gledhow are wonderful. When Dad moved in, there was nothing that was too much trouble. The staff treat Dad with respect and care and we have full confidence that he is in the right place. Being able to personalise his room has really helped him settle. The environment that has been created here is truly home from home. The nursing team are always available to discuss our concerns regarding Dad's palliative care and provide us with support and reassurance.

Each time I visit my friend the staff are always warm, welcoming and willing to answer any questions. My friend is extremely well cared for and I have absolutely no concerns with regard to any aspect of her care even though I know that she is very challenging to care for.

Mum was a resident for 2 years and during that time her dementia went from bad to worse, leaving her often in distress. Having her cared for so well at MHA Gledhow was such a blessing as we felt the staff understood her and were compassionate and empathetic. If we had any concerns, they were listened to and acted upon wherever possible. The manager was particularly supportive and helpful, but so were all the staff with whom we interacted.

Staff are really kind and considerate. Overall, a very good and happy place.
