My Mother in Law age 97, had a stroke and came here for rehabilitation.
Some staff and managers didn't always help or listen.
Others were amazing.
We feel that she shouldn't have been discharged so soon, especially after a fall in her room, hitting her head the Friday before being discharged!
She's
now fallen down her stairs (we feel that this is a safeguarding issue) plus a risk assessment wasn't completed, this could have been avoided!
We just do not want it to happen to anyone else.

Reply from Julie Caygill, Hospital Liaison Team Administrator at Capwell Grange Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to complete a review of your experience with the Rehabilitation Unit within Capwell Grange. I am sorry to hear that your experience was not always positive during your Mother-in-law's stay. We are also sorry to hear about your Mother-in-laws's accident and hope she is recovering well. In relation to the Rehabilitation Unit within Capwell Grange, this is run by a separate service to the home. Should you wish to make a formal complaint please contact Luton Intermediate Care Services who will be able to look into and investigate your Concerns around Risk Assessing and Discharges.

The care at Capwell Grange Care Home has been exceptional. The kindness, care and compassion shown to my mother has, at all times, been outstanding. This is our first experience of coming to a care home and to be honest we did not know what to expect. We have nothing but admiration for all that work
at Capwell Grange.

Mum's discharge from hospital to Capwell Grange Care Home was handled by the care home well. The staff on the whole were great. The day team were supportive, compassionate and empathetic. Mum's stay was extended as she needed extra confidence building and personal care support. For medication and medical
support, the staff were far more diligent and exacting than the hospital. I had total confidence in them. Thank you for your support.

I had huge reservations when I first realised my mum needed full-time care as I had heard so many horror stories. I have been extremely impressed with the home under its leadership.
The staff are extremely caring and have shown only compassion and dedication. My mum is really happy.

Mum was transferred to Bonetti House from hospital after falling at home & breaking her hip. When Mum arrived she couldn't even get out of bed. The six-week rehabilitation she received was second to none. The progress she made in her six-week stay is unbelievable and it's all down to the excellent
care she received. Nothing is too much trouble for any member of staff and we will be forever grateful for the way our Mum was looked after with such kindness, care and patience. Mum was so happy in there and was sad to leave. Thank you once again for everything.

Since my mother was admitted to Capwell Grange Care Home I'm happy to say we/I have no regrets - she needed round-the-clock care and the same was instantly put into place. As much as she would have liked to live independently, she is physically unable to meet her daily activities of life for the foreseeable
future. Her physical, sociable and psychological needs are being met by a team of staff/carers - she is respected and listened to, in order to meet her needs. Cultural and diversity do not go amiss. My visits during Covid were a comfort to us.

The manager and staff of Mitre House have provided my brother with excellent care long-term. In the past weeks, my brother became increasingly unwell and sadly passed away on 19/05/2022. I was kept informed of every change in his health, helped make difficult decisions and fully supported. I would not
have coped without their support. I will be forever grateful. The manager cannot be praised enough.

This care home felt like our home. My husband was treated with respect and affection. He was stimulated and, even though in the advanced stage of dementia, was included in activities.
I would have no hesitation to recommend this home to family and friends and have already recommended it to friends.
Thank you for making their experience a memorable one.

My mum first came to Capwell Grange Care Home in December 2021 for respite care that has turned into staying full-time.
The carers are fantastic, my mum's face lights up whenever my mum sees them. They are always doing something for the residents whether it's singing, watching films or a spot of gardening
or potting plants which they all love. Would highly recommend!

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.597)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.597) out of 10 for Capwell 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 34 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.597 for Capwell Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (288 Excellents x 5) + (80 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 397 Ratings = 4.597

  • 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 Capwell Grange Care Home is based on 32 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 146 registered maximum number of service users is 29.2, which has been reached with 32 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.
