My dear dad resided at Grange Hill House for 3.5 years. During this time he was treated with the utmost care and kindness. The home has lovely surroundings and gardens where the residents and families enjoy activities with staff or just to sit out and have a cup of tea/coffee during the warmer months.
Dad enjoyed the food, loved the activities, entertainment and minibus outings, especially the fish and chip lunches and afternoon teas. Any concerns with Dad's health were acted upon quickly by the relevant medical team. The management and staff were also always available to discuss any concerns. During a short stay in hospital at the end of August, doctors informed the Grange that Dad required palliative care, without hesitation, the requirements were put in place by the Grange and Dad was cared for during his final days with dignity, love and compassion by everyone at Grange Hill House. We have always been made to feel part of the Grange Hill family and would have no hesitation in recommending Grange Hill House to anyone.

Our dear Mum resided at Grange Hill House for almost 3.5 years. She loved the surrounding gardens and the locality and enjoyed the activities and minibus trips when she was well enough to participate. Mum thoroughly enjoyed it when choirs came to perform or when people came to play the piano, sing and
dance. She loved talking to residents and staff when they had the time. The staff were kind and caring to Mum and were welcoming and friendly when family visited. As Mum struggled more and more to wash, shower and dress herself, carers helped her. During the last few weeks of her life, the care Mum received was excellent, they ordered her a hospital bed, ensured she was comfortable and checked her every 30 minutes during the last week. She was treated with love, dignity and respect. As a family, we were so grateful that they enabled dear Mum to stay in her room and not have to go into hospital, which was her wish. The staff and management were so kind and supportive to the family during her last few days. Thank you so very much.

We have nothing but praise for the care and treatment given to our elderly (100 yr) next of kin by the staff at Grange Hill House, and for the courteous way we were treated whenever we visited.
She was always treated with dignity and was encouraged to participate fully in all activities.
When medical
help was needed, it was sought and acted upon quickly and efficiently and she was monitored in a timely manner. We were kept informed of any concerns or problems.
When a stay in hospital was needed and it became apparent that palliative care was required, the senior staff requested that she be returned to 'her home' (their words) as they wanted her last days to be spent where she felt at ease among people she knew.
The staff organised all the equipment and specialist care required to make her remaining days as peaceful as possible.
We have recommended the care home to friends looking for a caring, clean and thoughtful environment, always willing to go the extra mile.

My sister was a resident at Grange Hill House for five and a half years. The staff knew her very well, encouraging her when needed, caring for and supporting her as her needs changed. Although my sister was not necessarily a 'social' person, she enjoyed sitting in the lounge and going on the various
trips and meals out. She often said how fortunate we were to have 'found' Grange Hill House when she could no longer care for herself at home. It was certainly a 'weight off my mind' to know that my sister was being loved and cared for in this 'home from home'. Friends who visited have said they would wish to live at Grange Hill House should they require care in the future. There can be no higher recommendation!

My mother-in-law was a resident of Grange Hill House for nearly 12 years. This, in itself, is testimony to the care and attention she received during that time. The Grange was her 'home' in her later years. Importantly, she was happy and secure in her surroundings. She was always treated with dignity
and respect. The management and staff were always friendly and accommodating. Any issues, of which there were few and of a minor nature, were dealt with promptly and with understanding. Everyone is approachable.
There are good facilities together with many varied activities, days out, etc. Which the residents can participate in, should they wish to do so.
Based on our experience I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any other prospective residents looking to join the 'Family' at Grange Hill House.

Mum stayed for around 18 months at Grange Hill House where she was well looked after and cared for. She enjoyed spending time in the lounge, joining in the activities and chatting to other residents, making new friendships. Mum always commented on how good the food was. We found the caring staff and
admin staff proactive and helpful and from our visits, it was clear they provided a happy and comfortable environment for all residents. Excellent.

This is the 2nd time we've visited our very dear friend who is now a resident of Grange Hill House and, on both occasions, we were greeted by various members of staff and carers as if we were old friends with each of them.
On arriving we were taken to see our friend, given a cup of tea/coffee with
biscuits, taken with our friend to see her room and spent a really lovely couple of hours with her, remembering the years we've known one another and things that have happened over the years. When we went last time we sat in the lounge with her, again with tea/coffee and biscuits, but this time a gentleman had brought farm-made ice creams for everyone including us and these were absolutely mouth watering to eat.
All in all our friend has settled in at the home really quickly and all the staff treat the people residing there as if they were family members which is why it gives me great pleasure to give them such a good review.

My husband and I were always very pleased with the care and attention my brother-in-law received during his three-and-a-half-year stay at Grange Hill House. We were always kept informed of any problems and when any items were required. All in all, we were very well looked after on our visits to Grange

I have just had two weeks of respite at Grange Hill House after being in hospital. I cannot speak too highly of the care and respect I received whilst I was there, I made many friends among the carers and other residents and was soon made to feel at home. I especially enjoyed joining in the daily activities
that were arranged, including mini-bus trips out. I would not hesitate to recommend Grange Hill House to anyone.

I found Grange Hill House to be well run, with friendly caring staff - nothing was too much trouble. Residents are treated as a family - plenty of activities, entertainment and day trips out. Food is cooked on premises and catered to everyone's needs. A beautiful home and gardens.

Grange Hill House offers the complete package - the ethic of care runs from management to all staff. Mum was part of their family and the atmosphere was homely and friendly. Grange Hill House has a GP practice committed to attend which is vital. Food is homecooked and activities are varied, stimulating
and always with an element of fun. Grange Hill House makes a point of finding out the individual interests of residents and involves them in everyday life at the home. Mum's room looked out over beautiful gardens and fields beyond, she loved that. The room was personalised with photos etc. which meant so much to her. Communication was very good with us and we were able to contact the staff easily. Mum was a resident for four years but the last two years have brought challenges never before experienced and during that time Grange Hill House always managed to overcome the many problems caused by Covid. Grange Hill House went over and above in its commitment to offer Mum the best care. They always gave much-needed support to our family. Mum was cared for right to the end and shown the utmost dignity, love and compassion by everyone at Grange Hill House.

My mom resided at Grange Hill House from November 2017 until she passed away in August 2021. For most of that time, she enjoyed the company of other residents. The activities provided and the care/security of the warm and dedicated staff and were always friendly and encouraging. The senior staff always
kept me informed of any issues and were professional and available. The pandemic has a major impact on family contact but arrangements were made - Moms end of life care was dignified and kind. Thank you.

All staff, without exception, treated our auntie with respect and kindness. Resident felt secure and happy during their stay. Throughout the period of the pandemic, although family were not allowed, we were satisfied all necessary precautions were in place and strictly adhered to. Only negative would
be the loss of clothing from time to time.

Mom moved to Grange Hill after living independently prior to a life-threatening fall. The staff at Grange Hill did everything possible to make the transition as easy as it could be. During her time at Grange Hill (June 19-Aug 20) she was really loved and cared for. During her final few days, I could
not have wanted better care for her. Also, all family members were made to feel welcome every time we visited.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.407)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.407) out of 10 for Grange Hill House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.786 for Grange Hill House is calculated as follows: ( (66 Excellents x 5) + (18 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 84 Ratings = 4.786

  • 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 4.621 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grange Hill House is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 38 registered maximum number of service users is 7.6. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.6 = 0.921

  • 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.
