My father spent his last 6 weeks here. The home is exceptional, the staff go above and beyond the daily duties. We were welcomed any time of day or night and they kept us informed with everything. Would highly recommend this home I am so pleased my father had his last few weeks there. It gives me a
bit of peace of mind.

My sister came to Capwell Grange Care Home in the last part of 2012. We requested certain personal issues (shower twice a week and care by female staff only).


The staff at the home are extremely considerate and compassionate and make it very easy for the residents and their families to feel comfortable.

It is a good place. Our family is very satisfied with the general ambience. We would recommend it without any qualms.

The staff are kind, friendly and always helpful. I find the staff are always willing to help with any problems which occur eg. accompanying my mother to hospital, calling the doctor whenever necessary, letting me know if she has any problems.

My review covers 12 years. Initially, I was attracted to the home because of the cleanliness in the building and the friendly atmosphere. During my frequent visits over the years, both of these attributes remain.
I am encouraged to treat the home as my husband's second family home and he is a member
of that family. The staff work extremely hard to look after the residents who all suffer with different forms of dementia. Their work is far from easy and yet they manage to smile despite the difficulties that they face day in day out.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.587)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.587) 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 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 31 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 4.587 for Capwell Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (79 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 385 Ratings = 4.587

  • 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 31 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 31 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.
