Families rate Chatteris care home among top in East of England

The Gables in Chatteris has been chosen by residents and their families as one of the Top 20 care homes in the East of England.

There are 1,536 homes in the region, with the top 20 receiving an award from the UK’s leading care homes reviews guide: carehome.co.uk.

The award is based on reviews of the care home written by their residents, as well as their friends and relatives.

The website lists all registered care homes in the UK as well as genuine reviews, inspection ratings and detailed and transparent fee information. It also hosts a free expert care helpline to assist older people in their search for a care home.

Julie Tyler, manager of The Gables care home, said: ““Once again, I'm so proud of Team Gables. We all work really hard to provide our residents with a first-class service that fits their personal needs, making their life as homely, happy and comfortable as possible.

“The kitchen provides outstanding food with lots of themed menus for special days. Activities are led by Lorna, and there is always something meaningful and memorable going on, particularly anything involving the local community.

“Winning this award for the eighth year is an amazing achievement, and as a team we will continue to do our very best.”

Amanda Hopkins, reviews manager of carehome.co.uk, said: “We now have over 360,000 reviews of care homes on carehome.co.uk, which means we can give a really good insight into the kind of care and facilities offered by thousands of UK care homes.

“Our reviews show the quality of a care home’s facilities, as well as the standard of their care and support, staff, activities and nutrition and if the care home is good value for money.

“We would like to congratulate The Gables as their reviews show they provide an excellent standard of care. It is such an achievement to be named as a top-rated care home by the residents who receive care as well as their family and friends.
