This is a wonderful care home for my mother. We looked at a few, and none matched up to the care like Bower Grange. Everyone that works there, not just the nursing staff, but everyone is so very, very caring, lovely people. It’s such a pleasure to see everyone there being cared for on a very high level.
Even when we visit, we are offered a drink. We are then taken with Mum into a conservatory to chat. Highly recommend. Could not ask for more!

Mum has Alzheimer's and has been a resident at Bower Grange for 3 years, taking residence during the height of Covid restrictions. Although we were therefore unable to inspect the premises or to go inside, we were encouraged to phone her as often as we wished, and as soon as regulations allowed, could
visit her outside her bedroom window, which then gradually progressed to long-awaited touch visits. During this unprecedented time, the staff were always available to discuss any concerns by phone. Mum's room is lovely - always very clean and looks out onto a lovely garden. Our visits are encouraged and Mum always appears comfortable, well-dressed and well fed. Her hair is done and often her nails are polished. She smiles and seems very happy when approached by the staff who genuinely seem to care about her wellbeing. They are also always very welcoming to us. There is regular entertainment (games, bingo and crafts) and I feel very confident that Mum is safe and well cared for.

Mum came to Bower Grange after having a few falls. Mum has dementia and at the grand age of 93 we felt she needed 24 hour care. It was not an easy decision to make and as a family we did worry. There was no need to worry at all. The love, care and kindness all the staff have shown Mum has been second
to none. The home has a warm welcoming friendly atmosphere. It is spotlessly clean. Mum says the food is lovely. We would not hesitate in recommending Bower Grange to anyone looking for care for a loved one.

My mother became a resident at Bower Grange in December 2019. Until then she had been living independently and was very proud of her independence. Sadly, following a fall, and because of dementia, this was no longer possible. We were concerned at how well she would be able to adjust to her new surroundings.
Thanks to the kindness, care and consideration of the wonderful staff, she soon settled in and seems to be very happy there. We would have no hesitation in recommending Bower Grange.

All staff were caring, supportive, helpful, and responsive to my dad's needs. Competent, having the right knowledge to care effectively, giving my dad a good quality of life.
Communication was excellent, so as a family, we were kept involved in Dad's care.
Bower Grange was a home-from-home. The
staff and residents became extended family. It was a lovely caring community and we were welcomed in.
As Dad deteriorated, they supported us through a very sad time, showing great respect, discretion, sensitivity and compassion, maintaining his dignity.

Wonderful, friendly staff who take care of Mum's every need. The home is clean, well-equipped and well-run, and Mum seems to be happy there, which matters the most. There are often activities taking place in the lounge area, and there is never a shortage of friendly faces. The care home keeps in touch
regarding Mum's health and care plan.

My mum has had dementia for five years, and as her condition deteriorated, she required 24-hour care. I contacted the team at Bower with regard to care and if they had any rooms for her. They were both polite and very caring in the way they dealt with both my and my mum's worries about how she would
cope when she left her family home. The care and kitchen staff are just fantastic. They make my mum smile and laugh, which is something that hasn't happened in a while. She is extremely well looked after and fed. The home itself is always clean and tidy, toasty and warm, which I like.

Bower Grange has been home to my mother for three years now.
Inside the building always appears clean and fresh, and visitors are made to feel welcome by a cheerful team of staff, many of whom have worked there together for years, making for a friendly, caring atmosphere.
Senior staff are always
happy to answer questions and follow up on any concerns and will phone promptly if there's any change of circumstances to report. It's lovely to see staff chatting and laughing with residents in the lounge and regular sessions of singing, games and other activities taking place.
Most importantly (to me), my mother has often said, 'it's nice here' - and after three years, she would know.

My Dad has been in Bower Grange for over 12 months now and I cannot recommend this care home enough. The care the staff give the residents is exceptional.
When we visit my dad everyone who works there is always so welcoming and take the time to chat with you and let you know how things are going.
Bedrooms
are large and always clean, Day room is bright and always has a great atmosphere,
The large conservatory on the back is a great plus point as looks out onto a large Garden which is my dads favourite place.
The carers who work there really do make Bower Grange a Bright and Happy environment for all the residents.

The home is a warm and friendly environment, and the staff are kind, helpful and caring. We would definitely recommend Bower Grange to anyone looking for a home for their loved ones. The residents always seem happy and content, with there being plenty of activities to do. All the food is home-cooked,
and special requests are catered for; my mom says she always really enjoys the food and especially the puddings.

Current Review Score: 8.7 (8.655)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.7 (8.655) out of 10 for Bower Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 3 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.7 out of 5 from 3 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 5.000 for Bower Grange is calculated as follows: ( (36 Excellents x 5) ) ÷ 36 Ratings = 5

  • 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 3.655 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Bower Grange is based on 3 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 = 3.25

    • 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 37 registered maximum number of service users is 7.4. 3 Positive Reviews ÷ 7.4 = 0.405

  • 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.
