Mam was referred to The Grange Care Home after being hospitalised. It had become apparent that she was no longer capable of looking after herself. The staff at The Grange have made her so welcome and the attention to detail for personal care is 100%. The staff and management are so friendly and pleasant,
always smiling and creating a lovely atmosphere in the home. They are also always available to answer any questions family members may have. The rooms and facilities are very clean and the home has plenty of well-organised rooms for residents and their visitors to relax. The food is excellent, with plenty of choice and drinks are always available. There are regular activities and sometimes live singers. All in all, I can now sleep at night, knowing that Mam is safe and secure and coming to no harm.

Mam initially went into The Grange Care Home temporarily after a three week hospital stay as she was unable to care for herself. After further assessment the decision was made that it would be safer for her to become a permanent resident. This decision was made far easier for our family as The Grange
offers a very caring atmosphere for both residents and relatives. Although mam was distressed at this decision a member of staff realised what was happening and dealt compassionately with the situation. Both management and carers are to be commended at this care home and I feel real peace of mind knowing that my mum is being so well cared for.

My sister has been a resident at The Grange for six months. She has dementia. I'm so pleased to have found a care home for my sister where I know she is safe and happy. The Grange is, in my opinion, a really excellent care home, especially for dementia residents. The facilities and surroundings are
well adapted for dementia patients and the staff are caring and friendly. They go to great lengths to make the surroundings attractive and stimulating. I visit my sister most days for a quick visit with her dog and we always feel welcome.

My 95-year-old dad has now been resident at The Grange for almost 18 months. His health has been up and down but at all times he is treated with the utmost care and respect by the staff who go out of their way to make Dad feel at home. As we his family live quite some distance away we are not able to
visit quite as often as we would like. However, we do keep in touch with regular video and phone calls and staff are always happy to facilitate these to keep up regular communication, which is so important. Thank you to the manager and her staff for all they do for our dad, which is very much appreciated.

The Grange Care Home cannot be faulted. The staff and management go out of their way to make me feel at ease and have been there to sort out any problems or issues. They have supported me and helped me whereas I have had very little support from my GP surgery. The staff at the surgery on the switchboard
are not medically trained and therefore can only say very little to help. The food at The Grange is also very good and I get healthy portions.

My father went into the home for respite and a care needs assessment, following a period in hospital due to falls and confusion. He was there for 3 weeks. The manager and all the staff were very caring and responsive to his needs. Dad was very confused and delirious, the staff understood how to look
after him and put his mind at rest. The only reason he didn't remain in the home was that I wanted to find a home nearer to me so that I could visit more often.

My 95-year-old dad has been a resident at The Grange for 8 months now after becoming unable to manage at home. Unfortunately, his health is declining due to old age but he has settled in now. I am just back from my latest visit and took the opportunity to sit down with the Home Manager, who took me
through his extremely comprehensive care plan which was greatly reassuring. Dad is losing weight and has very little appetite. We discussed his food preferences and she agreed to ensure that dad would be offered his particular food preferences each day as an alternative to the daily menu. She involved a senior staff member and one of the kitchen staff in the discussion to ensure dad’s wishes would be met. Very reassuring. I raised a concern about dad’s low mood at times and she arranged a visit by dad’s GP. I would highly recommend The Grange and would like to pass on my thanks to the Home Manager and every member of her team for their commitment, compassion and excellent level of care.

My personal experience with all the different staff members at The Grange Care Home has been very positive.
My husband has been a resident for 2.5 years, he has advanced dementia and requires help with every aspect of day to day care.
The staff met his needs with care and respect, which isn’t always
an easy task as he can become quite angry due to his dementia.
I know the staff will contact me if they have any concerns. I have the upmost respect for all of them.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.688)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.688) out of 10 for The 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 33 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 4.688 for The Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (280 Excellents x 5) + (85 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 382 Ratings = 4.688

  • 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 The Grange Care Home is based on 33 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 33 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.

I have worked at the Grange for over twelve years. I started as a domestic then worked as an Activity coordinator before becoming Housekeeper. I enjoy working at the Grange and helping to look after the residents. Last year, 2020, I was presented with a Company Award recognising my achievements at the Grange.
