My brother is very happy with his care at Cantley Grange.

The staff are all very helpful and good with the residents.
The residents are always nicely dressed although sometimes I think the staff should check that they have all their underwear on. They need help to remember to clean their teeth and dentures.

Reply from Tina Rushton, Care Home Manager at Cantley Grange

Thank you for the review. It’s lovely to hear that our staff are helpful and good with our residents. Thank you also for the feedback, I will be passing this onto the staff. Kind regards, Care Home Manager

I have only one problem with Cantley Grange and that is the waiting outside to enter the building, especially if you have the resident with you and you are standing out in bad weather. A storm porch would help or for regular family members the access code to be known to get into the building.

Many thanks for taking the time to review our home and the feedback. Please do come speak to me directly if you would like to discuss the issues you have raised. Thanks, Care Home Manager

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

My mum has been a resident at Cantley Grange since January 2015 and as a family, we are very satisfied with the care Mum has received.
The home is always warm and my mum is well cared for and enjoys the food served, friendly environment.
Things have improved since they replaced chairs and carpets
with cushion floor as it did tend to be quite smelly at times.
Kitchen areas really need to be replaced as quite run down.
The only issue I have is that they can't seem to get Mum showered/bathed at regular times due to the fact she can be extremely difficult and they are not allowed to force her to bath and change her clothes!!

Reply from Sandra Allen, Home Manager at Cantley Grange

Many thanks for taking the time to leave the review about your mum, and we are glad that your overall feeling about the home is positive.
We continually strive to provide the best care and environment for our residents and we take on board feedback, which we share with colleagues.


We recently updated at our Resident & Relatives meeting our upgrades plans for various parts of the home, and we will provide further information as these develop.


Any care practices are aimed at providing the very best person-centred care, whilst adhering to best care practices, and we will continue to work with you and our families to achieve the best care for each individual.


Kind regards

My husband has been a resident of Cantley Grange for three and half years and has sadly recently just passed away. The staff have been amazing very caring and professional to the end. They made his time he lived there a really comfortable one and we both felt part of an extended family. The care he
received at the end was second to none and we will be forever grateful.

Reply from Sandra Allen, Home Manager at Cantley Grange

The care and professionalism displayed by the staff has been exemplary.
Communication at a time of great stress has been excellent.
The team of staff at Cantley Grange have more than earned my gratitude and that of my family for their continuing care of my mother and the way she has always been treated
whilst a dementia-suffering resident.

Reply from Sandra Allen, Home Manager at Cantley Grange

Thank you very much for your review. I am so pleased that your mother enjoyed her stay here and that you were happy with the care that she received.
Our staff do work hard to maintain a high standard of care and communication.
It is lovely to know that this is noted.
Thank you again.

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.
