My mother was really looked after by the staff and they were so kind. They phoned me regularly every week on her condition and welfare. I was so pleased we found this lovely care home.

The staff at The Grange have taken such care of my dad during the pandemic. They have worked so hard to turn a difficult situation into a positive experience for all. My dad looks amazing, his physical health has improved immensely since living at The Grange. I honestly do not believe he could be better
cared for. Thank you.

Firstly, I would like to thank all the staff and management for their care and dedication in these difficult times, keeping our loved ones safe and Covid free, congratulations. The Grange has a lovely atmosphere, home and well decorated. I would class this home as a first-class hotel. My mother has
lived here for a year now and is very happy. I can ring her for a chat, and it's never too much trouble for the staff to take the phone to her or chat on the portal. The staff keep me up to date with any information I need to know, appointments etc. Thank you.

The care from the staff towards my mother and our family were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble, and they kept me informed at all times if there was concern over my mother, even with the current climate of Coivd.

Twelve months ago my beloved sister was ensconced into the Grange which immediately became her home. It was apparent that it was a professionally run business whilst maintaining a happy homely environment for all patients. The impression one gets when entering the light bright hall is welcoming and
clean. The menu displayed in the dining room is varied with food to suit most pallets. The staff are caring, kind and efficient with the right measure of friendliness. The facilities at the Grange are many but as mentioned the personnel are the most important asset along with your friendly management which was stretched but kept the home Covid free in these difficult times. I would like to express my deepest gratitude for your guidance and care, the feeling of not having to worry for my sister’s wellbeing and safety and pass on my thank you to one and all.

I was very impressed that before the instruction was given to lockdown care homes due to coronavirus the decision was taken to protect all the residents by severely restricting access and limiting only essential contact. The management was steadfast in protecting staff and residents by stringent use
of PPE, early testing of all personnel and client resulting in everyone receiving negative results. Since arriving at The Grange in July 2019 my mother received excellent care and support across all aspects of her daily needs.

My mother spent just over two years at The Grange Care Home. In the two years, both my brother and I saw a change. At first, it was dissipating with regular nursing staff and manager alike coming and going. Things really picked up over the last year and were really happy Mum was there. She was looked
after well, the care and support were first-class, and she was very happy. The day my mother passed away, the staff were amazing, very caring to both my mother and us as a family. We were offered food and drinks constantly. They turned and made Mum comfortable, popping into the room regularly to see if we needed anything. I have recommended The Grange Care Home to several people as a warm and welcoming place to spend their final days.

My husband went into The Grange Care Home for two weeks respite, with early dementia. He settled very well in a warm and friendly atmosphere. His needs were always attended to by the kind and reassuring staff, and I thank them so much.

Thank you very much for the respite care given to our mother. She improved physically and mentally during her two-week stay. She was sat at the tea-table the evening before last and said: "I like it here, the people are lovely." The staff have been excellent and supportive. Thank you all.

Since my mother moved into The Grange in August, I have been able to relax knowing that she is being looked after and cared for by the staff and carers at The Grange.
Mum settled in well and all questions were answered in a clear manner.

The Grange provided my mother with excellent care and attention throughout her residency at The Grange. Also, the information on Mum and her health needs provided by all staff to relatives was exceptional, and their support, love and respect given to Mum and to relatives at difficult times will be remembered
by myself and family forever.

My mother has been in The Grange for a few years now. We have seen it go right down in standards for every need, but in the last year, my mother has become bedbound but the home has become a much better place for her to stay, very caring and understanding for her needs. The staff are excellent and kind.
The whole standard of the home has jumped up in every way.
I don't mind saying that my mum is in The Grange now, not like one or two years ago, I was ashamed to say.

The last year she has been bed-bound and the care and the attention given to her has been excellent.
All the staff are always checking up on her and moving her.

I find The Grange better than the last care home I was at. I can walk around assisted if I want to and find the staff cooperative when I need them.

My father seems more settled at The Grange after moving from another care home.
He doesn't really engage in any activities here as he would rather just watch his own television, but he does go to the dining room for his meals.
I have always found the staff very helpful and polite.

Although my father was only here for a short time, due to many hospital visits, as a family we felt that there was genuine care and concern about his welfare. The rooms were very clean, well maintained and bright. There was no “care home” aroma, in fact, the opposite, it was pleasant to walk into. The
service user is encouraged to make their room personal to them by bringing in things from home which only adds to their comfort and peace of mind.
When searching for a suitable care home we called The Grange on the off chance of a vacancy. We were told we could drop in at any time, no need to book an appointment, just turn up. This was refreshing and made us all feel at ease with the place. We knew instantly that we wanted Dad to come here. We never regretted that decision.
We thoroughly recommend The Grange.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.911)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.911) out of 10 for The Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.911 for The Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (174 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 190 Ratings = 4.911

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grange Care Home is based on 16 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 16 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
