Welcome to Earsdon Grange

Located in the residential area of Wellfield, less than 2 miles from the seaside town of Whitley Bay, Earsdon Grange is an award-winning purpose-built care home offering residential and dementia residential care as well as respite breaks.

The home is a two-storey building with a secure garden located at the back of the home and patio and gardens at the front. The ground floor of the home houses residential clients and has a coffee shop with a conservatory attached, TV lounge and dining room. The first floor of the home has a cinema room, lounge and dining room for dementia residents to enjoy.   

Food is a huge aspect of the care at Earsdon Grange and the home has a 5-star Food Hygiene rating. The Cook loves home baking and bakes fresh scones, cakes, birthday cakes daily in the kitchen for the hospitality trolley as well as a choice of breakfast, lunch, dinner and supper at the home. Friday is always fish and chips and Sunday they have a roast dinner.

The home is accessible by car and has a small car park at the front of the home in the unnumbered bays as well as on-street parking. The closest Metro Station to the home is West Monkseaton located on Earsdon Road or the local buses 57, 57A, W1 and W1A which have a pickup and drop off point at the Metro Station and then a .05 mile walk to the home.

Earsdon Grange benefits from strong links to the local community thanks to a full-time activities coordinator who provides a programme of activities, entertainment, and events that the residents can choose from.

Their door is always open to visitors and they will be delighted to send you further information in the post including brochure, sample menu and sample activities pack or pop in to visit. They look forward to seeing you.

Staff are very caring and treat everyone with respect and dignity. There is a good rapport with the clients and there is lots of laughter in the place. It was very hard for us both at first but we were supported through it well. My husband is happy and that is the main and most important thing.

Mother has been in Earsdon Grange Care Home for three months now. She was warmly welcomed and has settled in well. She still talks about going home, but we hope as time goes on she will regard Earsdon Grange as home. She really enjoys the activity sessions and very much enjoys the food she is presented
with. All the staff are very pleasant and courteous and are ready to help with any queries we have.

I am unable to visit my Aunt very frequently as I live a distance away and am also a personal carer for my sister. From what I have seen of the home my Aunt's room is always tidy and clean. The staff that I have come into contact with are very pleasant and helpful. My aunt always seems happy and tells
me that the staff are lovely and that the food is very good. Her appearance has improved greatly since entering the home.

Thank you so much for everything you do at Earsdon Grange Care Home.
I would like to thank all the staff for their kindness and support in looking after my brother for two weeks respite care so I could attend my son's wedding and other family matters. You have an excellent care manager who has a great
team, well trained and efficient. Thank you again for the hard work you do, it's much appreciated - long may it continue.

This care home is excellent. My mum has settled really well as it is a caring environment and all staff are professional and friendly. My mum is well cared for. I would prefer a few more activities or maybe there are plenty but my mum doesn't join in? The costs are satisfactory but as my mum is self-funded
I consider all care homes to be expensive especially as the council rate is much less. This care home is the best I have seen and their values and ethos are exceptional. I would recommend Earsdon Grange to future residents.

My mum was placed in Earsdon Grange Care Home for six weeks of respite. The staff, cleaners, cooks, and receptionists are exceptional. My mum entered saying she was frightened of life, upon leaving she asked if they would keep her room as she was definitely going back as a full-time resident! She is
no longer frightened!

Having never visited a care home until I came in for respite care I am very pleased with the treatment I have received. All the staff have been excellent and do not get the appreciation they deserve. They are excellent with the residents and should be allowed to spend more time with them instead of
doing many other jobs. They should also receive higher wages instead of being on a low one.

My mum has been a resident of Earsdon Grange for a few years. Have nothing to say other than the staff at Earsdon are totally the best. Mum is safe, well, enjoys her surroundings, has her hair done, pampered, the works. Me - well I sleep at night - all well in my mum's world.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.592)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.592) out of 10 for Earsdon Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 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 28 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 4.592 for Earsdon Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (206 Excellents x 5) + (118 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 333 Ratings = 4.592

  • 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 Earsdon Grange Care Home is based on 28 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 28 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.
