I arrived at The Gables on Friday 31st May 2024, for a week after signing myself in for post-op care following a hysterectomy on 29th May taking the burden away from my family.
What can I say? The care, not that I required much care, was second to none. I actually needed rest, of which I got plenty but there were activities should I want to participate. All the staff were helpful, discreet and caring. After staying for a week I felt so comfortable I decided to stay an extra four nights.

The Gables is fantastic. Like a luxury hotel. Unfortunately, my aunt is very poorly and so hasn’t really been able to take advantage of many of the things it has to offer. She is probably more reliant on the staff than most other residents but they are looking after her well. Recently her condition has improved a bit and they have been getting her out of bed into a chair, which is a huge improvement compared to how she was when she first went in. When I visit, all the staff are friendly and helpful and my aunt seems to get on with everyone.

My aunt has been a resident here for a few months, and she has improved greatly, physically and mentally better. All the care staff are very caring, nothing is too much trouble for them to help her and other residents. She started eating and drinking with help and she is now sitting out and appears

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!
