The published text does not include detail about the activity programme, one-to-one engagement for people who cannot join groups, or how end-of-life wishes are recorded and respected.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Five Gables Care Home received a Good rating across all five domains at its April 2025 inspection, but the published report text contains very little specific detail, so scores reflect the rating itself rather than confirmed observations or testimony.
Homes in East Midlands typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Five Gables Care Home, at 113 Victoria Road, Nottingham, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its most recent inspection on 2 April 2025, published 11 June 2025. The home is a small, 16-bed residential setting registered to support older adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities, and those with sensory impairments. Two registered managers are named in the record, suggesting an identifiable leadership structure. A Good rating across every domain is a positive baseline signal, though it is worth noting this is only the second inspection since registration. The main limitation here is that the publicly available inspection text contains very little specific detail about what inspectors actually observed, heard from residents, or found in records. A Good rating tells you the bar was cleared, but it does not tell you how warmly staff spoke to your parent, whether meals were enjoyable, or how the home handles a difficult night. Before making a decision, visit during a meal time, ask to see last week's actual staffing rota (not a template), and ask the manager to describe one recent change the home made after an incident or family concern. These three things will tell you more than the rating alone.
