They do care here starting with their attitude. Most of the staff have been here a long time and it shows. They always have a warm smile which creates a feeling of safety and security. And they are very creative. For example, my wife is 80 and has dementia. The staff was great in helping us to organise
a birthday party for her and on February 14th Valentine’s lunch for me and my wife. Everyone at Tolson understands what their purpose is and there is a strong sense of inspiring leadership ‘from the top’. They match their caring with professionalism and do it to a very high standard as a result of great teamwork between carers. They communicate with residents and relatives continuously which creates a great atmosphere of belonging. After a year, my wife describes herself as liking it and feeling safe and happy. I would recommend Tolson Grange to you unreservedly. Every pound it costs is a smart investment (we are self-funding).

My wife has lived at Tolson Grange for the last 8 months, having previously spent 8 weeks in hospital, during which time she was assessed as in need of full-time residential care. So the only question for myself and the family was ‘Which care home?’. The choice was made with great care and we have no
regrets about our decision. Our wife and mother are nearly always contented even though her dementia causes great confusion. She has formed good relationships with staff and other residents and usually feels that this is where she belongs. Staff are also most helpful and friendly to us relatives and we feel that we are in a partnership of carers for our loved one.
I have one concern. As an octogenarian myself my memory for names is not as good as it was and I don’t wish to have to keep asking the carers for their names. A few wear name badges, but as I have mentioned in person to the management I consider it very important that all staff wear their name badges at all times while on duty.

Finding a care home for a loved one isn’t easy but the staff at Tolson Grange made it easy. My father-in-law spent the last six months of his life there. He was cared for and treated with respect by the wonderful caring staff. I often walked into his room to find one of the carers talking to him and
holding his hand. They picked up a serious problem and organised his hospital stay. As his end of life approached they helped us get him back to Tolson where he wanted to be. He died ten minutes after he got there. He had held on to get back there. The staff were all there and in tears, we all were.
I cannot recommend Tolson enough and when my own father needs care I will take him to Tolson.

My Mum went into Tolson Grange 6 months ago. What a beautiful clean home this is. Mum has everything she needs and is looked after 24 hours a day. All the staff are caring friendly and accommodating. Mum loves the food which is very varied. There are lots of activities and excellent entertainment. I
couldn't be happier knowing she is in a safe friendly home, it's a pleasure to go visit her. Thank you to all the staff.

I find it odd that staff do not have name badges. My parents-in-law have been at Tolson for nearly 12 months and in all this time staff have not consistently had badges. Whilst name badges are useful for visitors they are essential for residents, especially those with dementia. Please can you get badges
sorted ASAP? You can buy simple black badges online and write names in white marker. Very simple.


Thanks


Reply from Catherine Matthews, Home Manager at Tolson Grange

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Apologies for any issues caused with name badges - most staff should now have them. We unfortunately have had an ongoing supplier issue across our homes, which we've continued to chase up. New badges have again been ordered and we're expecting them soon. The ongoing issue has also been discussed in many relative meetings.
We're happy to chat at a mutually convenient time to discuss this further, or for any further issues experienced, especially as you've rated us low on other aspects of the home.

A lady that I looked after privately in her own home, unfortunately had to go into full-time care. Whilst in the care home her private PA’s were still employed to visit her daily to help her with the transition from home to full-time care.
I can not say enough how welcoming Tolson Grange is, the dining
room where all the residents congregate is a home-from-home experience. The girls will always greet you with a smile and offer you a drink or food, just on a visit. One of the girls in particular goes the extra mile, I can’t name her. Small with blonde hair she is amazing with the residents and the visitors. Tolson Grange with the time I have spent there, is definitely a home that I will recommend to potential family and friends for a warm safe environment for their loved ones. I have to say that I do miss my visits, hopefully see you again soon.

I always find the staff polite/helpful if I have any questions they are answered. If there are any problems or they require something for Mum they will contact me. Mum is looked after and safe, if I need reassurance Mum is okay, I can always ring and staff will give me an update, that gives me and my
partner reassurance that we know she is in the right place.

My father has been at the home for two years and the care my father receives is fantastic. I cannot thank the carers enough, when the carers come and chat with him you can see his eyes light up and he genuinely smiles, this is reassuring to family members that he is happy there.
It is noticeable the
improvements that have been made over the last 12 months with carpets and furnishings and upkeep of the building.
The management and staff are a credit to the home.
Thank you.

Excellent support for my mother; felt that the staff really cared about her and other residents.
My brother and I were also well supported during my mum's final days.
Communication between us and the care home was always good and timely.
This feels like a very well-managed establishment with a good
ethos and a great team.

My sister is now bedridden with no verbal communication but she is cared for equally as well as when she was mobile, vocal and sometimes aggressive, when she arrived at Tolson Grange some years ago. She is clean and well nourished. Her room is basic but her vision is such that she wouldn't know any
different. The staff have always been friendly, helpful and accommodating, even through covid lockdowns.

Making the decision to put Mum in a home was not easy but the carers at Tolsen Grange have taken great care of her, got to know her really well, understood any concerns and sorted them really quickly. They're thoughtful and kind and she's content, which is all we wished for.

My Mum is very well cared for at Tolson Grange. It is a safe place for her. The staff are kind and always treat her with dignity. They are also welcoming to visitors. Mum always looks well dressed and healthy when I see her, and she regularly has her hair and nails done at the home. Her little suite
of rooms is lovely, giving her the option of privacy and a quiet space if she wants to have a rest. I am so pleased there are so many interesting activities available at the home, and I was delighted that my mum is joining in and making friends. We love looking at the photos of her on Facebook! Thank you to everyone at Tolson Grange for making a huge difference to the quality of my mum's life.

I cannot thank all the staff enough at Tolson Grange for the love and care they gave mum. This includes care staff, cleaners, laundry, chef, maintenance, administration and managers. As a team, they work together fantastically. I think their interview process must be unless you are a happy caring person
who treats residents and family members with kindness and respect, don’t apply! Mum was so happy in her new home. Both me and my brother were so worried about her settling in but all the staff made this process so easy. Mum really enjoyed her time at Tolson Grange. Mum's move there made it so me and my brother could return to enjoying visits with Mum rather than the anxiety of sorting care arrangements. We cannot recommend Tolson Grange and the staff highly enough. A huge thank you from us to you.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Tolson Grange 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 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.713 for Tolson Grange is calculated as follows: ( (258 Excellents x 5) + (54 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (3 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.713

  • 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 Tolson Grange is based on 26 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 26 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.
