My father was admitted to Tolson Grange for rehabilitation after a hospital stay. He is thriving and after being able to arrange a "window" visit, I felt very reassured. He suffers from dementia but was coherent and happy. Talking with the staff it is obvious they like him and he is in a very good place.
As a family, we can only thank the staff and management at Tolson Grange for the care they are providing.

My husband arrived at Tolson on March 18th and lockdown was on March 23rd, so far 13-weeks I didn't physically see him. Whilst I was devastated at this 'unprecedented' situation, I never once thought that he was not being sympathetically cared for and felt that he was as content and happily settled
as he could be in his new 'home'. The staff also went out of their way to make this most difficult and traumatic time for myself and family as stressfree as possible. At the same time, they worked extremely hard in the most challenging of circumstances to ensure residents and staff remained safe and virus free. As time has gone on and we have come out of lockdown, the management and staff have done everything possible to enable us to visit loved ones, and obviously not in the normal, loving way, it was the best they could do given the current circumstances. I know many sacrifices have been made to keep everyone safe. I deeply regret that my husband's dementia means that he now has to live-in care, but I don't regret that he lives at Tilson.

My father is 81-years-old and living independently. After a fall he broke both arms in February 2020. After two weeks in the hospital, he was transferred to Tolson Grange for five weeks care under the NHS while he was unable to use both arms which were in plaster casts. The care he received was respectful,
and I know this purely from my dad's demeanour. He did not need to say a thing. He was happy, relaxed and put on some much-needed weight. His dignity was maintained, the carers clearly understood my father is a proud and private man. I picked Dad up just in time to isolate with me in my house, and while looking forward to getting back to independent living, he was very complimentary about every aspect of his stay.
Thank you so much for looking after him and helping in his recovery. After another five weeks, doing physiotherapy, he is able to do most things and is getting back to normal.
He says: "Thank you so much, you are all marvellous people for the job you do."

The new manager is very good. Most of the staff are excellent. The home has improved in the last 12 months. The home could do with new carpets. The new chairs are a good improvement. It still needs to improve communication regarding clients. The home is expensive compared with several others in the
area.

Reply from Jacqueline Byrne, Manager at Tolson Grange

Tolson Grange could do with some interior decoration, however, the care home is run with understanding, care and compassion. It's staff more than make up for it's tired appearance.

My mother has lived at Tolson grange for the last 4 years. During this time she has been very cared for. Her dementia and mobility worsened of the years but all the carers have adapted well to her different needs, smiling and keeping mum happy.
In the last few weeks, her health has deteriorated and
all the carers have been superb. One carer was one of the few cares and relatives that could get mum to eat when she was too ill or didn't want to. Now time, as gone on one of the carers, has gone beyond the call of duty by keeping in touch with me whilst I was abroad. She hs sent me daily what's app messages with photos and videos. All done just to reassure me that mum was ok and that I didn't need to come home. Decisions on health matters and anything to make mum more comfortable, she organised and made sure that it was carried out even on her day off.
None of us knows where we are going with mum, but I know she is in the best place with the finest, most caring people looking after her. Thank you.

I am happy with the care home in general. The only issue I have is the fact that doors are left unlocked, allowing wandering residents to go in anybody's room and take those persons possessions. My sister's teeth and glasses have gone missing on a few occasions, causing the carers more work than necessary
in trying to find them.

My mother has been in a care home previously so that was my benchmark of care in the community. It wasn't a good experience. The difference in care in Tolsen Grange is the opposite; from day one we have been impressed with the commitment of the home to tailor individual care and make a difference to
the lives of the residents. We are daily visitors to the home and are impressed by the sense of community spirit which is visible between staff and residents alike as well as with relatives.


Such is the nature of my mother's illness, she does have bad days, but more often than not she now has a smile on her face and has a laugh with the staff who take the time to make her feel welcome and special.
There are residents and relatives meetings with the team, but it is also easy to raise and resolve any concerns/issues with management on a day to day basis helped by easy access and the opportunity to discuss these matters direct. A 'can do' attitude definitely prevails in the home.

I am very pleased with the care my Mum receives at Tolson Grange. The staff alway seem to have time to treat residents with respect. Residents are free to move about the home as they wish. If they speak to a carer the carer always answers them (not the case where Mum was before).

From my friend first entering the care of Tolson Grange. She went in a doubled up old lady and within one month she was walking straight up they did a marvellous job with her improving her health keeping her fed well and looking after her hygiene. I honestly think they have kept her going when she was
not always been easy to look after, the staff have made her life more pleasant.

Staff are always kind and considerate and very efficient. The food is excellent as I have recently had meals myself while visiting my dad! The furnishings and decor are clean and tasteful but above all homely, with pictures of past events and scenes. My 3-year-old granddaughter was welcomed and encouraged
to "play" with stimulation "games". All the residents have names and photos on their doors so you can recognise them and get to know them (I felt like I was visiting them all). My Dad is always well cared for at Tolson Grange and he is always happy to go back either for daycare or respite. It's like his second home.

I have been very pleased with the care my 91-year-old mother has been receiving at Tolson Grange since her arrival 2 years ago. The staff have been extremely caring, loving and understanding of her needs and idiosyncrasies with extreme patience. From the very beginning, they showed a desire to make
her welcome as much as possible and have maintained a flow of love and affection to make her feel at home at all times. The staff also always pay attention and show caring to the concerns of my family regarding my mother and this has been an extreme source of comfort to us helping to alleviate the anxiousness we have for our mother in the sunset of her life now that she is in a position where she needs 24-hour care.

My mother has very good support, care and attention without being forced to comply with any expectations. The 24-hour service is excellent and all her needs are being met. Generally, within reason, her wishes are being met and she has the freedom to join in with activities or to stay in her own room.
The care staff try to meet her wishes as far as possible. Medical care is provided as and when needed.

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.
