Whenever I visit my sister and sister in law who are in rooms next to one another I find the staff to be very professional very kind and always polite, even under difficult circumstances. How they keep the smile on their faces sometimes I'll never know. No grumbles from me at all just many thanks for
the care they give.

Since my mum was admitted she has continued to improve both mentally and physically. The staff are extremely caring and helpful. There are daily activities for mum to join in with and she has lots of company. It is a home-from-home.
I know that mum is safe and well cared for in this home and I no longer
have to worry about her. As a former nurse, I can and do highly recommend this home to anyone looking for care for their relative.

My husband is at Cantley Grange on respite with a view to going for weekends every month and then permanently when the time comes. It's homely and comfortable but the main thing is the care is top-notch.
All staff are great, I have to mention one in particular though, she is amazing, professional,
caring, and a credit to the company.

Cantley Grange has looked after my mum only for a short time, accommodation and food very high standard. Managers are well-trained and experienced. The staff, from seniors, carers, cleaners and kitchen all have residents' well-being at first thought. The advice given has helped towards future care needs
for her.

My overall experience regarding this care home is extremely positive. I have observed throughout my visits that my partner appears relatively settled, cared for and not unduly stressed at all, however, I would like to raise one small issue - my partner's communication skills are almost nil so cannot
convey her needs/wants to care staff involved. This is especially noticeable at meal times where she may need a little intervention/help in the future.

I went to see my aunty who I have not seen for 3 years due to Covid and the fact that I was apprehensive of her getting upset at the thought of her not recognising me due to her dementia. I need not have worried at all. I was let in by the manager (not knowing this at the time) I can just remember
what a kind and warm lady she was. The manager was rounding the residents up to take them to the lounge for a Coronation party. She treat everyone with care and dignity. The residents did seem happy in their own way, looking clean and dressed appropriately. I was very impressed with how tidy and welcoming the home was. There was certainly no smell of urine/disinfectant as in other residential homes I have been in. The other carers that were around all were very empathic to the resident's needs.
Overall, care homes don't seem to get the recognition that some deserve, but I must say I was very impressed with the home as a whole and would certainly recommend. Keep up the good work.

Review from Christine P (Daughter of Resident) published on 20 January 2023

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

Mum was originally staying for respite after flooding her home. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's and falling frequently. She was judged to be unsafe to go home and has stayed at Cantley Grange Care Home since then, two years ago. Her care has been nothing but kind, compassionate and professional
in all this time. This last month she has suffered from a bad chest infection and the staff have looked after her so well. After a complication with medications that fell at the weekend the senior on duty spent hours on the phone to resolve the issue and ensured Mum was not without the antibiotics she needed. Knowing Mum is so well cared for takes so much stress out of a difficult situation. When I leave after a visit I never leave worried as the staff will always be in contact if they have concerns.

The manager/assistant manager and carers from first enquiries to looking after Mum have been very helpful and friendly. I do have to point out that some carers, not all, need to be more aware and understanding of individual needs and disability.

I'd like to start this review by saying a huge thank you to all the staff at Cantley Grange Care Home for looking after my dad earlier this year and making his last few weeks as comfortable as possible. My dad was in his early-90s when he was admitted to Cantley Grange; he was very frail and had several
medical issues in addition to serious problems with his memory. Despite the challenge that posed, the care he was afforded whilst there was excellent. The staff treated him with respect and were very sensitive to his many personal and medical needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cantley Grange for care in later life and once again thank them for looking after my dad.

Dear Adrian, many thanks for taking the time to review our home. It was our pleasure to care for your father and he is sadly missed by the manager and the Cantley Grange colleagues. Your kind words are greatly appreciated and I will of course pass them on to the Cantley team.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Cantley Grange 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 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 14 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 4.879 for Cantley Grange is calculated as follows: ( (145 Excellents x 5) + (20 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.879

  • 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 Cantley Grange is based on 14 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8, which has been reached with 14 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.
