This is the second time I have booked my mother into Cantley Grange for respite care and have been very impressed with the care she has received. When my mother's respite time was up, my mother decided that she wanted to stay indefinitely in the home. She feels safe and well looked after and part of
a community. She became very lonely in her own home, so Cantley Grange has been a lifesaver.

This is the first visit I've had to see Mum since she's been in care, due to Covid-19.

Due to Covid-19, I have not been able to access the home. However, now I can see my wife, albeit briefly, it is more than evident that she is being well looked after.

I feel assured that Mum is receiving a very high standard of care. Mum instantly took to the caring, friendly staff, who were kind and respectful with her. The staff are very professional and approachable, they are informative and supportive. At this very difficult time of Covid, I feel mum is in a
safe environment which is reassuring. The home is following the strict government guidelines, whilst still being sensitive to the emotional needs of our family and we are very thankful.

My age and limited visits to the home, where my wife doesn't recognise me, means I have no great knowledge of Cantley Grange.
However, from what limited knowledge I have, everything seems to be satisfactory and I am eternally grateful to the staff during this horrible time in our lives.

I needed urgent respite care back in October for my dad. From the moment I contacted Cantley Grange I felt relief, they put the wheels in motion quickly and effectively and told me what to do. Staff are amazing, Dad is still in there due to a severe deterioration of his dementia. I am always informed
promptly of any illness.

My father has been in Cantley Grange for 10 years. His own words are that he has been very content during this time. He has been allowed to live his slightly peculiar lifestyle in his own way and the staff have not been judgemental. There are good facilities available although my father chooses not
to use them. I have always been contacted if there have been any problems and the staff are always polite and kind. They have worked extremely hard over the last 11 months to keep the residents safe in what must have been very challenging conditions. They have kept the residents and relatives informed. Thank you, all of you, for your very hard work.

My brother and I have felt totally supported by the management and staff at Cantley Grange. In recognising our father required round the clock care due to his advancing dementia and underlying health problems, we felt Cantley Grange offered the care requirements our father would need as his health problems
progressed. We were offered emotional support with regard to dealing with the home's end of life policy, whereby all information was relayed to us in a respectful, dignified and professional manner. Focusing on this year, 2021 and the fact we have been unable to enter the home since March 2020, we are aware of the challenges the staff have faced in order to keep our most vulnerable loved ones safe and are indebted to them all.

The care home (Cantley Grange) is clean and well maintained. The staff are friendly and obviously knew my mum well. Mum's room was lovely and ensuite. Mum liked the food and they offered to try to get anything specific she fancied when she first moved in. Due to Covid, there has only been telephone/video
contact this year apart from a window visit, but staff were always accomodating about these calls. Mum always seemed at home at Cantley Grange. Thank you to everyone for her care.

My friend has been at Cantley Grange for three years now and is fully settled there. As her dementia has progressed, the extra care has been really good and I know she is well looked after and is happy, even though with Covid 19 we cannot visit at the moment. They keep me well informed on my friend's
progress and the staff are really easy to talk to at any time. The home-cooked food is great and I would recommend Cantley Grange to care for any loved one.

Overall we are happy with dad's care and the home. Our dad is settled and safe. One suggestion would improve things more - communication. Sometimes we have to ask staff about things e.g. where are his glasses or hearing aids and staff don't always know or give different answers which can be frustrating.
We also would like to recommend setting up a monthly or bi-monthly meeting for updating on care with dad, care home, family. Think this would really help overall. Thanks.

This review is difficult as the home is in lockdown so I have not seen my husband but have spoken to him on the phone, as he has dementia I do not know if he knows me. The staff have always been very helpful on the phone and tell me he is fine. Before lockdown, I visited and was very happy with the
conditions at the home.

When we first looked around at care homes for my mother, who has vascular dementia, we viewed and visited numerous homes to ascertain the various standards we were likely to expect. As soon as we walked through the door at Cantley Grange we were greeted by very pleasant and helpful staff and the surroundings
were far better than any we had previously viewed, with regards to cleanliness and the general ambience. Since my mother moved in permanently in April we have found the home to be a nice environment for her and she is very happy. All in all I would say that Cantley Grange is head and shoulders above any we personally visited.

I started visiting my friend every week as soon as she became a resident. The home has always been clean, fresh, well decorated and not smelling of urine (as some do). The big changes that have happened, in in the friendliness of the staff. They are approachable and pleasant. They treat all residents
with dignity and respect. As a visitor, if I ask for something eg., help with toileting my friend, they are prompt, kind and efficient. Management are part of the team and are friendly and approachable. There is always plenty of staff on duty, sometimes using agency staff if needed. Again, they are lovely. Cantley Grange is a well run, pleasant home to visit.

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.
