About The Gables Rest Home
The Gables Rest Home provides residential, respite and day care for older people who need support because of frailty, disability or choice. The family-run home focuses on individuality and freedom of choice, with accommodation for up to 30 residents in single rooms, most with en-suite facilities.
Care planning involves the resident, family, GP, district nursing team and other relevant professionals. Residents can choose when to get up, where to eat and how much time to spend in private or communal areas. Fresh ingredients are used for home-cooked meals, with special diets supported by the cooks and an in-house dietician. Activities and entertainment are arranged for residents, with family and friends encouraged to join. The home also provides accessible pedestrian entry and handrails throughout.

Questions families ask
Can residents choose when to get up and go to bed?
Yes. Residents choose when to get up, have breakfast in their room or eat in the dining area, and spend as much or as little time as they wish in communal areas.
Who is involved in planning residents’ care?
Residents are involved in every care-plan decision, alongside their GP, the District Nurse Team, other relevant healthcare professionals, family, advocates and the care team.
Can residents stay if their care needs increase?
Yes, provided the home can continue to meet everyone’s needs fully. Although registered as a residential home, it respects residents’ and families’ wishes.
Can the home cater for special diets and individual food preferences?
Yes. Dietary needs are discussed during the pre-admission assessment, and the cooks have experience meeting each resident’s individual requirements.
What happens when someone applies for a place?
The applicant or family completes a Resident Application Form, after which the person joins the waiting list and the Registered Manager arranges a detailed pre-admission assessment.
How much does The Gables Rest Home cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Gables Rest Home for its weekly fee. As a guide, Worcestershire council paid on average £981 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
