Testimonials

I came to The Gables following discharge from hospital where I had been treated for two broken arms and a mass of bruising following a fall down my stairs at home. My daughters chose the home as they felt I needed help with personal care and some pampering.
From the moment the ambulance dropped me off, I felt a very warm welcome. I was shown to my room, very spacious and beautifully furnished with a large ensuite wet room.
The carers are so kind and helpful and have given me excellent care throughout, I’ve been here almost three weeks.
This is a lovely home, well appointed with many facilities, including a weekly list of activities if you wish to join in. Everyone is very friendly and I feel very at home here whilst I wait for full recovery. If you prefer to rest in your room that’s fine although there is on my floor a cinema, a dining room and a lounge. Having visited people in other care homes whilst being the Parish Visitor for the church this is by far the best I’ve seen.

Dad was admitted to The Gables, Hagley, for a four-week respite stay. However, this turned into one week palliative care following his discharge from hospital. Staff at The Gables complained to the hospital about the deplorable condition he was in on his arrival by ambulance. Within only a few hours

Mum moved to The Gables in November 2023 and to date, we have been completely satisfied with the quality of care and service provided. The staff seem to be very happy in their work and this spreads to residents and their guests. It feels like a happy place and Mum, we, family and friends have been made to feel very welcome. Mum’s medical issues are being effectively dealt with. The local GP practice that covers The Gables is a huge improvement on her previous GP. The activities are well-run and varied and the food is always excellent. The coffee bar and other communal areas often have a mixed group of residents, visitors and staff, so there’s usually someone to chat with if you wish. For Mum, the visiting dogs are a delight.

Even though my father was only a resident for a very short period of time, everyone at The Gables went out of their way to make him welcome and help him settle in and find his way around. Our lasting memory of him will be a very happy afternoon spent at The Gables celebrating his 94th Birthday. All

I would highly recommend The Gables. It feels more like a 5-star hotel than a care home and the residents receive the highest standards of care and support. The staff have been incredibly supportive of family members as well as attentive, compassionate and patient. My mother had psychological as well as physical needs and was fairly young to be needing respite care. They ensured she received all the help from external medical professionals in order to get better mental and physical health. They really praised and encouraged her!

We have visited several times for Sunday lunch and it’s been terrific each time. Lovely weekend staff, kind, happy, and helpful. Delicious food and particularly as our family do have dietary requirements.
The Gables is always beautifully clean and has a gentle and peaceful atmosphere. Residents are cheerful and smiley and it’s lovely to see them at visits again.
Thank you to your greatest asset – the staff!

Mom is very happy here. The staff are lovely and they treat her as if she were their mom. Couldn’t ask for more. Very happy knowing Mom is happy and so well cared for. It’s lovely that we are all involved as a family. We are always welcome and included in all of the activities that are on offer. It’s so reassuring to see Mom engaging and enjoying the company of the other residents and she is eating so much better. Her room is beautiful and she is very comfortable in her environment.

My sister and I have been overjoyed with the care our mother has received since moving to The Gables in December 2022. The standard of care both personal and social is excellent. The range of daily activities is superb, the food, the cleanliness all is first rate. Every member of staff is kind and compassionate and they all demonstrate kindness and love to all the residents. Nothing is too much trouble.
