My husband was admitted to Leeming Bar Grange Care Home earlier this month for two weeks respite care as I was struggling with my health and finding it difficult to cope. My husband was greeted by name by all the staff on arrival and immediately felt at ease.
The facilities and rooms at the home are
of a very high standard and the food menus varied and nutritious. My husband soon settled which was a comfort to me as we had never been apart for over fifty years. All the staff are extremely caring and helpful and the residents always seem to be very happy and mix well.
I felt reassured that my husband would be very well taken care of and indeed he was and friends and relatives who visited him in my absence all said they had been made very welcome and served tea and refreshments during their visit.
I would not hesitate for my husband to spend more time at this home if it should become necessary in the future.

What an amazing place! My mum has been there for nearly four years now, and we have been so lucky to have such a wonderful team of fantastic people caring for her. As soon as you walk through the doors, the atmosphere is so happy and friendly, all the staff are truly amazing and go above and beyond
to make sure that Mum is loved, happy and always smiling! The activities team provide the most amazing activities every day, which she loves; they understand her dementia and know how she is feeling, which is so important to us. The kitchen staff provide delicious food and make amazing birthday cakes, which always make the residents smile! I can't thank everyone enough, from the carers, who kindly look after Mum and let me know regularly how she is doing, to the maintenance man who cheers everyone up every day and drives the minibus for wonderful days out, the receptionists who Mum loves to have a natter with and the amazing manager who looks after everyone, making this a very special place!

My mum has lived at Leeming Bar Grange since 2019. We chose this home mainly for the activities, as my mum needed stimulation most days. When we looked around the home, we immediately knew it was the right place for Mum, it was so clean and friendly. The activity staff are brilliant. Having the minibus
has been fabulous as Mum really loves a ride out. We have not been disappointed. All the staff have been excellent with her, making her feel special. The manager has been brilliant, she says every time we talk to her or her staff, that this is Mum's home and that means a great deal to us.

My mum arrived at Leeming Bar Grange after a short stay in hospital. She was extremely nervous, had no confidence walking, scared of falling. Within a couple of days, she was walking with her frame with one carer and joining in activities. Her smile and her confidence returned. Staff are very patient
and understanding when given person-centred care, which helps Mum's anxiousness. Mum has gained weight every week as encouraged to sit in the lounge with fellow residents and enjoy her meals again. Again, staff very understanding.

My mum-in-law was admitted to Leaming Bar after a hospital stay. We didn't have many options as to where he would go due to Covid, however, she was made so welcome, cared for and she was happy from day one. To see her cared for and looked after was a huge relief for the family. The staff have been more

I go to see my brother on most days. I went on Saturday 2nd February. He was frozen in his bedroom. They said they would get someone. They said they would be there within four hours. I went again the next day and he was frozen again. They said they would get someone within four hours. I don't think
that is right. There should have been a heater or something. On the 3rd February, they moved him out of his bedroom and put a new bathroom in. They moved him back into his bedroom before completed. Everything was alright until Barchester moved in. I do hope it is going to improve.

My mum went into the home for respite care while we installed a more user-friendly bathroom in her apartment and while she was a little apprehensive for a couple of days she soon settled, joining in the craft activities, singing when the choir came in and dancing. Mum is 91 and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's
at the beginning of the year. When she came home she said she would go back again. She was well looked after, the food was good and everyone was friendly and kind to her and she made a friend who we will be going back to visit.

Been visiting for over two years. I have always found all staff to be pleasant, helpful and welcoming, especially the reception staff who remember names which adds a personal touch.
Management was always helpful to resolve any issues no matter how small. Resident I have been visiting has sadly died,
but her end of life care package was so dignified and human. A credit to those involved in her care, making a difficult situation easier to cope with.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.739)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.739) out of 10 for Barchester Leeming Bar Grange Care Home 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.739 for Barchester Leeming Bar Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Poors x 2) + (2 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.739

  • 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 Barchester Leeming Bar Grange Care Home is based on 22 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 22 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.
