Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
Inspectors rated Effective as Good at the August 2023 inspection. The home holds dementia, physical disability, and sensory impairment as registered specialisms, which implies training and care planning processes exist to support these groups. The published report does not describe the content of dementia training, how care plans are reviewed, or how GP access is arranged. As with the other domains, the rating itself is positive but the published summary provides limited specific evidence to examine.Is this home caring?
Inspectors rated Caring as Good at the August 2023 inspection. The published summary does not include direct observations of staff interactions, quotes from residents or relatives, or specific examples of how dignity and privacy are maintained in practice. The Good rating means inspectors were satisfied with what they observed, but the detail behind that judgement is not available in the published report.Is the home responsive?
Inspectors rated Responsive as Good at the August 2023 inspection. The home is registered to care for people with a range of needs including dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, which suggests some capacity to tailor care to individuals. The published report does not describe the activity programme, how end-of-life care is approached, or how the home responds to individual preferences day to day. The rating is positive but the evidence behind it is not detailed in the published summary.Is the home well-led?
Inspectors rated Well-led as Good at the August 2023 inspection. The home is run by Gable Court NH Ltd, with a named registered manager, Mrs Fahreen Jivraj-Maguire, and a named nominated individual. The move from Requires Improvement to Good across all five domains in a single inspection cycle is a strong indicator that leadership has been effective in identifying and addressing previous concerns. The published report does not detail how the manager operates day to day, how staff are supported to raise concerns, or how the home involves families in governance.

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
Gable Court Care Home scores 72 out of 100, reflecting a genuine and encouraging improvement from a previous Requires Improvement rating to Good across all five inspection domains. The score is held back by limited specific detail in the published report on activities, food, and daily life, which means some important questions remain unanswered until you visit.
Homes in London typically score 68–82.The three-lens summary
What families tell us
Visitors often comment on the patient, friendly approach they see from staff throughout the day. The care team takes time with residents, showing genuine warmth in their interactions.
What inspectors have recorded
The home demonstrated strong safety protocols during the pandemic, earning particular praise for how they protected residents whilst maintaining quality of care. Some families have experienced challenges with phone contact, which the home will want to address.
How it sits against good practice
Getting a feel for any care home means seeing it for yourself — the atmosphere, the interactions, the little details that matter.
Worth a visit
Gable Court Care Home, at 111 Roxy Avenue, Romford, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its last inspection on 1 August 2023. This is a meaningful result because the home had previously been rated Requires Improvement, meaning inspectors found genuine, sustained progress. The home is a 50-bed nursing home registered to care for people with dementia, physical disabilities, and sensory impairment, as well as adults of all ages. The main uncertainty here is that the published inspection report contains very limited specific detail, so there is much that cannot be confirmed or contradicted from the published findings alone. The Good rating is reassuring, but you should visit in person and ask directly about staffing ratios on nights, how the dementia unit is designed, what daily activities look like in practice, and how the team would contact you if your parent's condition changed. The checklist above identifies 16 areas not covered in the published findings, and each of those is worth raising when you visit or call the home.
