Ashley, Leeds Customer Care Team, who are we?
On the edge of Gillingham, surrounded by open fields
A handsome building in period style, with a large wraparound garden and two courtyard gardens – ideal for a short stroll and a glass of sherry before sitting down to a tasty lunch with new friends.
Great places to socialise, enjoy an activity or have quiet time
The café area is just one of several attractive shared spaces at The Mellowes where residents can catch up with family and friends over a cup of coffee and a tempting slice of cake.
Pretty colour co-ordinated bedrooms
We’ve made the rooms a pleasant place to spend a bit of me time, perhaps reading, knitting or with a crossword.
Pleasant gardens where you’re welcome to roll your sleeves up
The large garden has brightly painted garden furniture and a pergola, residents are welcome to do gardening.
A bright and airy dining room
We provide good and varied food and smartly set tables often with fresh flowers. Visitors are always welcome to come for a meal.
There’s no typical day at The Mellowes, but we arrange plenty to do, both here at the home as well as out and about.
Clubs and groups for special interests
Our home has an art club, pottery, Knit and Natter sessions, and we set up a gentleman’s clubon our residents' request.
Fun ways to stay mobile and active
Our gardening club and gentle exercise classes make sure there is always a way for residents to keep healthy.
Connected to the local community
We regularly take residents out for lunch at the garden centre and get visits from the local Brownies and primary school children.
"The home promoted choice and decision making… Staff had a good understanding of the people they cared for and supported them in decisions about how they liked to live their lives. People were supported by staff who respected their privacy and dignity… and responded to their changing needs."
"The care and compassion received has been fabulous. Staff are quick to react to requests and often go over and above to make Mum's life as good as it possibly could be."
Daughter of resident, March 2019, carehome.co.uk
"Staff are gentle, friendly, very caring and supportive – as a result, dad feels safe and looked after. Consequently, he has become less anxious in his infirm state and able to relax in the later stages of his life."
Son of resident, June 2018, carehome.co.uk
"You provided me with good care and kindness, going out of your way to make Chinese New Year 2019 a memorable day with a very special Chinese meal. It's with a heavy heart that I leave."
Resident, April 2019, carehome.co.uk
