My 96 year old mother has always been adamant that she would never ever go into a care home. The fact that she has settled quickly and happily into Gorselands Care Home is testament to the kindness, respect and individual attention shown by the lovely, welcoming staff. She now thinks that she's in a luxury hotel! Read more

Every aspect of care is excellent. The house is spotlessly clean and the gardens are well maintained and inviting. Residents have the freedom to explore them safely. The food is first class and beautifully presented. Dining is well organised so that meal times are sociable and relaxed. Medical issues are dealt with swiftly and family members are consulted and kept well informed. All staff are very professional and able to cater to all levels and types of Dementia. There are many activities for residents to enjoy if they choose to.

We, as a family, thoroughly recommend Gorselands and are so grateful to the staff that we can now finally relax having seen our mother settled and peaceful.

My mother has been at Gorselands Care Home for nine months now and I couldn’t be more impressed with the care she receives. When we first arrived I was struck by how clean and bright the home is, with airy, wide corridors and a feeling of peace and calm which was so important for Mum. She settled in almost immediately which was totally unexpected and a huge relief. Read more

In all the time I’ve been visiting her I have never once heard raised voices or complaints being made. All the residents seem happy and content with many activities always on offer and lots of personal attention from the patient and caring staff. The food is superb, all homemade with fresh ingredients and it’s so uplifting to hear the ladies singing at the dinner table.

I am really comforted knowing that my mother is safe, happy and well looked after during her end-of-life care and trust the owners and staff implicitly. I would have no hesitation in recommending Gorselands Care Home to anyone having to make this difficult decision.

Gorselands Care Home is an excellent care home, which takes a splendid path through the difficult competing demands. For example, by being a large and extended family house it does not have the "clinical" feel of a purpose-built hospital-style dementia care home. Being truly family-run, there is a clear sense of identity/leadership. Read more

All members of staff seem to be highly motivated and polite and caring to the residents. The environment seems to balance the security needed with a feeling of companionship and care. We are delighted with Goreslands for my 95-year-old mother with vascular dementia.

My mother has been cared for by the Gorselands team for nearly a year now. They understand the care she needs with her dementia and they provide a safe, caring and friendly place for her to live. Her family are able to visit, often at short notice, and also take mum out for lunch etc. Read more

The care team are always available to take telephone calls or respond to emails and I've always found the staff very caring towards mum and also respectful towards her needs. Gorselands have helped us bring in mum's furniture, pictures and mementoes to make her room more homely. The location, grounds and house itself make visiting easy and a pleasure and the required gate security is reassuring without being troublesome. Mum's family feel fully assured that she's being cared for in a safe, friendly place.
