When we looked for a care home in Bolton for my mum in law we were instantly assured from the very first meeting with the manager and her team at Grange Lea care home. That was 5 years ago. They have been absolutely marvellous all the way through. Sadly mum in law passed away a few days ago. We could
not have wished for a better place than Grange Lea for her to have lived out her last years. I would highly recommend Grange Lea to anyone who has a family member in need of being looked after like they're one of their own family.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you for the lovely review. It was a pleasure to look after your mother-in-law.

The staff at Grange Lea have been amazing with our auntie who was residing at the home until she recently passed away. They showed genuine care, understanding and kindness not just to our aunt but to our whole family at a difficult time. Her end-of-life care was given with warmth and compassion allowing
her a peaceful and dignified passing. They worked with all the necessary agencies to ensure seamless care. We can't thank you enough.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

I would like to thank you for your kind words, it was a pleasure to care for your auntie, it was very special, that she spent her last days being around all her family and her sister who also lives here.

I would like to say just how loving and caring all the staff and management at Grange Lea are. They have just looked after my mother for such a short time. But in that time they made the end of her life as comfortable and painless as possible providing her every need.
I would recommend Grange Lea to
anyone looking to find a loving place for their relative.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

It was a pleasure to care for your mum, it was sad we only had a short time with her. She had a loving and caring family who were by her side throughout her time at Grange Lea. Thank you for letting us care for her.

We would like to thank the manager and all the staff at Grange Lea for the wonderful loving care my Dad received.
Grange Lea is a lovely warm and welcoming care home. The staff are dedicated and are exceptionally kind and caring. The residents are treated with compassion and dignity at all times.
The
senior staff are very knowledgeable in the care of the elderly residents. All the staff are professional and approachable, nothing is too much trouble. Magaret the manager was amazing and provided impeccable and dignified end-of-life care for my dad who passed away in a calm and warm home surrounded by his loving family.
We would highly recommend Grange Lea in a heartbeat.

Reply from Cindy Holt, Director at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you for the lovely review. Your father was a pleasure to be around. It is so nice to hear that the manager and staff not only looked after your father but also his family. It's always a pleasure for family to be involved, supportive and understanding as life takes its natural course.

feel welcome, I would recommend Grange Lea to anyone, thank you very much to all the staff at Grange Lea.

Thank you so much for the wonderful care of my mum. The dedicated staff are exceptional, kind and caring and nothing was too much trouble. Grange Lea is one big happy family and my mum (who had Alzheimer's) soon settled in. The residents are treated with compassion and dignity at all times. The home
is cleaned thoroughly on a daily basis and the food is varied and adapted to the needs of the residents when necessary. The senior staff are very knowledgeable in the care of the elderly. All the carers are professional and approachable, nothing is too much trouble. I am so glad Mum lived at such a lovely place. Sadly Mum passed away recently and Grange Lea provided impeccable and dignified end of life care. Everyone was so kind and loving. I would recommend Grange Lea in a heartbeat.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you so much for the kind review, your mother was a lovely lady and was a great character. It was a pleasure to care for her. She will be sadly missed by staff and residents.

Wow, I can’t believe the care given to my dad, absolutely incredible level of care. The staff, all included, are amazing, the commitment and dedication are second to none, I know from talking to my dad that he feels loved, valued and in, his words, treated like royalty by all. I get countless phone
calls from staff with updates on his well-being. When you get staff offering to take my dad to see a junior's football match because they know about his love of football, well that just shows how dedicated the staff are, I couldn’t be happier.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

It is a pleasure to care for your dad, he is such a lovely gentleman and he is very caring towards other residents and has a good banter with staff and residents. It is always a pleasure when his family come to visit him.

There are not enough words to describe how amazing the staff are at Grange Lea. My grandma lived there for two and a half years. The staff there went above and beyond for her. She was well cared for, both physically and emotionally and, most importantly of all, she was happy. Her time there included
the entirety of the Covid pandemic. FaceTimes and video calls were never too much trouble when we weren’t allowed to visit and when visits were permitted we were always made to feel so very welcome in what must have been an incredibly difficult and stressful time for all staff. We couldn’t have found a better place for my grandma to have spent for last years.
Thank you for all that you did for her.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you for your lovely review, it was a pleasure to care for your grandma, she was such a lovely lady, always thinking of others.
She became a part of our family two and a half years ago, she had lots of fun in that time. She always enjoyed her visiting times, so it was very difficult for everyone when there were no family members coming into the home.
We are very sad she is no longer with us and we will truly miss her.

My mum became a resident at Grange Lea in August 2019 having been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Throughout her time there her care has been exemplary. The professionalism, kindness and understanding shown by all staff have been excellent. The home is very well managed and welcoming. It was easy to contact
staff to discuss any issues relating to Mum’s care and they were always helpful and accommodating. Mum’s room was very nice and private. The lounge and dining facilities were also very good. Mum often told me how well she was cared for. I could not have put Mum in a better place, they have my eternal thanks.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Mum settled in so well when she came to us, which was so nice, as it can be a difficult time.
She loved to take part in anything that we had organised in the home. It was lovely that her family played a big part in that too, they massively support the staff in all the activities that we had planned before and during Covid. We will never forget the support and the kind words you always gave to us, it was very much appreciated, thank you.

My brother and I will be forever grateful for the wonderful care and kindness given to my father in what was a very challenging final year of his life. Nothing was too much trouble. Due to Covid rules, we were unable to celebrate his 100th birthday together but the Manager organised a cake, plus a card
from the Queen and sent us a video and photos to mark the occasion. We were never in any doubt that Dad was receiving the best possible care from a team of angels who performed their role with professionalism, cheerfulness and above all, compassion. We were always kept fully informed and the manager and her team were also a great support to our family.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you for your kind words, we are pleased you were happy in the knowledge that he was receiving good quality care and that you were comfortable knowing he was safe. He was a pleasure to care for and quickly became part of the family.

The staff at Grange Lea have been absolutely brilliant looking after my uncle especially over these difficult times with Covid 19.
They have demonstrated great empathy and compassion not only to the residents but also to us the relatives. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for them, we have always
been given telephone access to speak at length to our uncle.
It has been reassuring to us to know that the home has maintained a safe Covid free environment for everyone.
The management team demonstrates an ethos of high standards, which is evident in the action of all members of staff. Our sincere thanks go to everyone at the home.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you so much for your kind words, I will let all the staff read your comments. It is appreciated that you have taken the time to write your comments it will certainly have a positive impact on our staff. It was a pleasure to look after your Uncle.

This year has been an awful year with Covid, but I can honestly say the care and support given to my mum and my family has been first class....and still is! Dealing with not only their own family life but also with all the stress ..trauma... and illness during this awful time. I can't praise them enough
and they treat everyone as an extended family. I can call day or night and nothing is too much trouble for them. I call them Angels without wings because that is what they are!!
The home is very well presented and very clean as are the resident's rooms. There are lots of activities for the residents and everyone joins in, it's such a friendly place and I am so glad my mum is in their care.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Thank you for the lovely review we will do everything in our power to ensure that mum, all the other residents stay safe and all the staff do as well. We look forward to the visits once everything is in place. May we take this opportunity to thank you for all you have done for our staff and residents.

Mum lived in Grange Lea for just over 12 months. The care she received was brilliant. The staff are very friendly, loving, professional and simply great. Mum was treated with respect and like one of their family. Mum was very happy there and I was happy with everything they did for her. The home, in
general, is very well run and I would recommend Grange Lea to anyone.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Mum was a lovely lady and it was a pleasure to care for her, she always likes to join in with what was going on in the home. We would also like to express our thanks to you, for all the support given to the home, we miss you visiting the home. Two very special ladies.

My mum had dementia and was blind. She was a resident from June 2018 until February 2020. The staff were always attentive to her needs and were particularly caring at the end of her life. I would recommend this small but well-run care home to anyone.

My friends mum was in Grange Lea for approximately 20 months and I have to say she had excellent care. The staff were very friendly and went above and beyond their call of duty many times. They were always welcoming when we visited which was often. All her needs were met and more. End of life care
was exceptional and she was made very comfortable. One big happy family....well done.

I'm so glad we picked Grange Lea as Mum's care home. Mum had Lewy Body dementia, was registered blind and had limited mobility and spent her final 20 months at this lovely home. The staff and management are fantastic. They are all caring, dedicated, supportive and friendly. I love them all and can't
thank them enough for making Mum's last months happy and comfortable. Thank you ladies.

My dad has been at Grange Lea since May 2019. He was seriously poorly recently and I cannot thank the team enough. Some staff should have clocked off but stayed, not just to look after my dad but to support me too. I have a life now because my dad is in their hands. Thank you ladies for everything
you do for my dad and the support you give to me.

Reply from Margaret Amara, Manager at Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd

Karen, it is a pleasure to look after your dad, the girls think the world of him. Staff always like to see a job through to the end, where possible, like they would if it was their Mum or Dad.

My mum came to Grange Lea in January after seven weeks in the hospital. From day one, she was made to feel at home and nothing is too much for the manager and staff. After losing a lot of weight in the hospital, she regained it all at Grange Lea with good food and help to eat when needed. Mum is always
kept clean, well dressed and I have been taking mum out on a weekly basis due to the increase in her mobility. I can never thank the home enough for all the genuine love and care given to my mum.
Thank you to each and every one of the day and night staff.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.604)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.604) out of 10 for Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd 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 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 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 4.904 for Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd is calculated as follows: ( (75 Excellents x 5) + (8 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 83 Ratings = 4.904

  • 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 4.7 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grange Lea Residential Home Ltd 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 26 registered maximum number of service users is 5.2, which has been reached with 7 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.
