  • The Grange and Elm Court, Barnsley
Located in Cundy Cross near Barnsley, The Grange and Elm Court offers a range of facilities for the nurture and support of people living with mental health or addiction issues.

The accommodation is divided between a gorgeous stone farmhouse which has been converted into a care home for people with mental health support needs and purpose-built apartments. The apartments support people on a semi independent basis, providing care and support throughout the day and night on a medium to long term basis in a structured and safe environment.

The home provides stability and support while ensuring that residents remain active members of their local community.

There is an emphasis on independent living as far as possible, and residents are encouraged to participate in a range of activities and outings with this in mind.

The accommodation is warm and inviting, and there is a large, vibrant garden that residents are able to tend to.

The Grange and Elm Court is able to accommodate short term and long term care, as well as respite stays.

Would like to express how professional and very helpful the manager was.
Nothing was too much trouble, everything was explained and any questions we had were answered and explained.
The property is quite old but is of high standards throughout.

My Mum has been a resident at a number of different places but by far this has always felt like home. The residents and staff are one big happy family. This year my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Although The Grange is not a nursing home the staff were outstanding in their care for her, allowing
her to end her life with dignity in her own home. Thank you to the Management and Staff for all the years you have cared for my Mum.

My son has just moved into the Grange. He was previously well cared for in Derbyshire, but he wanted to come back to his hometown.
He is very happy at The Grange and he is enjoying his meals. He is given his tablets regularly and care has been taken to improve the eczema on his hands, which were
very bad when he arrived. Due to regular meals, he is looking more healthy.
He is also being helped to regulate his spending habits, and this is not an easy task for the staff, but they are doing their best to help.
They are very helpful when I telephone to ask how he is progressing.

Following my son's recent respite visit I cannot recommend The Grange and Elm Court highly enough, the staff were kind and caring and made him feel at home, this is the first time he has been in respite but he thoroughly enjoyed his stay and this is a credit to the staff. We would certainly use The
Grange and Elm Court again, they gave us the piece of mind so we could enjoy our holiday.

Having lived at the Grange for 11 years. I can say that the staff and management have helped me greatly. I was a mental and physical wreck when I first arrived. They have worked with me to patiently restore most of my health.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.682)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.682) out of 10 for The Grange and Elm Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.682 for The Grange and Elm Court is calculated as follows: ( (142 Excellents x 5) + (19 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 179 Ratings = 4.682

  • 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 and Elm Court is based on 15 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 43 registered maximum number of service users is 8.6, which has been reached with 15 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2003

"I started working at The Grange and Elm Court in November 2003, beginning my journey as a domestic assistant. Over the years, I have progressed as a care assistant, senior carer, team leader and deputy manager, before becoming the Home Manager of this amazing home. Never in my wildest dreams imagine that I’d end up here today.


I have been the very proud registered manager of the service for the last 10 years, and have completed a total of 20 years service. I have loved every moment, too. Over the years I have undertaken numerous training and development courses, including NVQ Levels 2 & 3 in Health and Social Care, which led me onto the advanced level apprenticeship in management, in 2022 I passed my NVQ Level 5 Diploma and am also a qualified first aider and a trained fire Marshall at the service. I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning as I strive to provide the very best care that I can.


Everyone who knows me understands that The Grange and Elm Court, and its amazing residents are my life. I absolutely adore the people who live here, and could never see myself working anywhere else. Since managing the service I have achieved two ‘Good’ CQC inspection ratings, which is an achievement I am exceptionally proud of. Over the years, I know I have become a stronger person. I remain totally grounded with a positive attitude. With my strong northern accent, I have a personality that gets on with everyone I meet. The home is where my heart is - we really are one big family here. I think the world of my staff too, and am so proud of them all. Our home is all that it is because of them.”
