My mother's care over the past 5 plus years has been exemplary, and could not have been better. She thoroughly enjoyed all the entertainment and all the numerous activities. She enjoyed all the well-organised outings and the camaraderie. All staff have shown kindness, understanding and care towards
my mother and the wider family at all times. Mother always said the food was well presented and most enjoyable at all times.
We wish to thank the entire staff for the care respect and kindness shown at all times.

Mum was taken into Solent Grange when her legs stopped working due to Alzheimer's progression, after an extended stay in hospital. More than a year later she is still residing at the home. I have a very close connection to Mum and can tell if anything is upsetting her.
She is very settled and enjoys
the music and entertainment put on in the various lounges. She has put on weight since arriving and enjoys her mealtimes, even though she is unable to use her arms effectively.
She enjoys her TV in her room if not out and about. All the staff are very friendly with Mum and myself, I visit 2/3 times a week and she is often in one of the lounges. Any time I have any queries they are dealt with promptly.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Solent Grange Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a fantastic review! We're happy to hear that your mum has settled in well and is enjoying the entertainment and mealtimes here at Solent Grange Nursing Home. I will pass on your kind comments to the whole team.

Ever since Mum entered Solent Grange (in 2023) she has appeared happier and healthier than she did at home alone. The atmosphere as soon as you enter is friendly and warm. The whole team works really hard to make sure residents are safe, engaged, entertained and happy. Mum eats better than before, starting
with a full cooked breakfast (which she never had at home!) and constant teas and nibbles throughout the day. Mum has dementia but the brilliant activities team at Solent Grange ensures there are always plenty of fabulous things going on to keep everyone busy. They are always going out on trips, having music and dancing in the home and plenty of animals to cuddle. This ensures she never feels lonely or isolated and we feel completely reassured that she is being safely looked after and we are so grateful that we found Solent Grange.

My mother has been at this home for approximately 3 years and I can say the care she has received has been absolutely first-class!
She is always clean, warm and comfortable and likes all of her carers.
Whenever we have had any queries or problems they have been sorted straight away.
I can't recommend
this care home highly enough.

Like most/all relatives of those benefiting from being residents at Solent Grang,e this is such an emotional and challenging time however all the staff express how much they care for Dad and indirectly show us so much respect and diligence leading to peace of mind which is priceless. From the reception
team, events, nursing, catering, and all other employees Dad and ourselves are treated with dignity and respect and we are always informed of any incident that we need to be aware of. Dad couldn't be in a better place. Thank you

I cannot fault the care, compassion, understanding and dedication shown to Mum this month, she has settled so well we couldn't be happier with Solent Grange during such a challenging time for us. Thank you so much, from us all. Mum needed emergency respite care due to dad being taken into hospital,
which has now turned into permanent care. Everything was sorted so smoothly and really made my initial panic about both Mum and Dad ease. Thank you so much.

I am so pleased with the responsive care provided at Solent Grange. My aunt displayed some changes in behaviour and the staff knew her so well they immediately realised it was likely due to an infection she didn't even realise she had, antibiotics were quickly organised and she was back to her usual
self. She is well cared for and staff are kind and genuinely interested in her wellbeing and interests. The activities staff are also excellent and organise a wide range of quizzes, music and outings.
The food is also of good quality and there is always a choice if they don't like what is on the menu.
I cannot recommend this care home highly enough.

Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, Marketing Assistant at Solent Grange Care Home

My mum-in-law has been in Solent Grange for nearly a year now and she is totally happy and settled. This home has completely changed my thoughts about care homes. All the staff are fantastic, nothing is too much trouble. The residents are treated with dignity and friendship at all times and they are
always having fun and keeping busy. The activities team are amazing, my mum-in-law has done more in the last year than she has done for years and she always has a smile on her face. We are so happy to have found Solent Grange and feel so reassured that she is getting the best possible care in the best possible place.

This was my first visit to see my brother since he became a resident in April. After six weeks in a hospital ward, it was very reassuring to see him in his own room and clearly very well cared for. The staff at Solent Grange are extremely friendly and they are looking after my brother with huge understanding,
sensitivity and individual attention. I feel very relieved and could not ask for more.

Dad has been at Solent Grange for 22 months, firstly on the Nursing floor and now on the ground floor, and his care has been with dignity and kindness.
He has enchanted many staff with his cheeky ways, and I love it when staff share with me his latest imaginations.
As his regular visitor, I've come
to feel like the staff are an extension of my family and feel confident that I can ask about anything I'm unsure of.
They always make time for me and I never feel silly asking.

My mother came to Solent Grange in November 2023 in a very depressed and unhappy state of mind. Thanks to the work of the staff at the care home she is now back to her happy, smiling, chatty self. She admitted she could not see herself recovering less than a month ago. And it is solely down to the work
of the staff at Solent Grange that she has achieved what others in the medical profession have failed to do. I am eternally grateful to have my mother back to enjoy the later stages of her life.

Reply from Sydney Lyttleton, Marketing Assistant at Solent Grange Care Home

From April 2022 to December 2023, from admission to death, my husband was looked after beautifully. All the staff were well informed, caring and friendly towards him and his family. Their approach was proactive. I would describe the care they gave him when he was dying as "loving care" for him, me and
my daughter.

Reply from Monika Jankauskaite, Digital Marketing Manager at Solent Grange Care Home

We are deeply touched by your heartfelt review and want to express our sincere condolences for the loss of your husband. Your kind words about the care provided at Solent Grange mean a lot to us.

My father has recently moved to Solent Grange and I must say the standard of care there is top class! He was not keen to be there initially (who is!?) but has quickly realised that the staff and facilities are definitely making his life much easier, and it’s so much better than the last place he stayed,
he’s now happy to be there, great food, great caring staff and top facilities, thank you Solent Grange for making my life and my father's easier, it’s such a hard time for all but you guys have helped so much.

Solent Grange is a modern, clean and welcoming place. My mother was well looked after during her three-plus months stay here and was treated with dignity and respect throughout. When she died, I was overwhelmed by the kindness and thought shown by the staff. My only negative comment would be that it
was not always easy to find nursing or care staff if I needed to ask a question or discuss something, both in person or on the phone, because they are all extremely busy and work hard to give patients the best care.

I am very happy for my mother to be living in Solent Grange. It is an excellent home in every sense. The reception staff and admin are always very welcoming. The manager is available to talk to relatives and is very approachable. All staff have been and continue to be most polite and friendly. When
entering the house it's rather more like a hotel atmosphere than a care home. Everyone is clean, tidy, bright and airy. My mother has mobility issues and requires extra help at times and I know they understand and support her with her limitations in this regard. So kind!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.843)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.843) out of 10 for Solent Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 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 4.843 for Solent Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (260 Excellents x 5) + (44 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 306 Ratings = 4.843

  • 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 Solent Grange Care Home is based on 26 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 89 registered maximum number of service users is 17.8, which has been reached with 26 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.

Emma Pearson

Job Title: Kitchen Manager

I joined the Solent Grange team in 2015 as an Assistant Cook. I have always worked in hospitality and have a passion for creating traditional home-cooked food. During my time as an Assistant Cook, my passion grew for preparing individual meals for our residents.


In January 2022 the opportunity arose, and I became Kitchen Manager. My role involves creating nutritionally balanced menus and maintaining a five-star safe environment for food to be prepared and eaten.
I pride myself in creating a welcoming dining space where our residents can come and enjoy their food and have a social dining room experience.


The kitchen team and I are delighted to engage with the care team and other departments when there are different events held and feel it’s my time to shine.
Outside of my work life, I’m a devoted mum and nanny. I enjoy spending time outdoors and taking my dog on long walks. I’m also a keen traveller.

Job Title: Lifestyle Lead

Joined: 2022

I joined Solent Grange Nursing Home in February 2022. I have worked in care for 10 years now. After the lockdown, it was a real eye-opener for me being able to spend lots of extra time with residents and really getting to know them. When the opportunity came along at Solent Grange to be part of the activities team, I was so pleased to take the job! Now all of my focus can be on the residents and on making their days amazing, putting a smile on their faces and getting to hear all their different life stories. I love making their days as jammed-packed as possible and organizing outings so they can get out and about. I thrive off trying to make a difference for the residents and being supportive.

Job Title: Maintenance Manager

Joined: 2022

I joined the Solent Grange team as Maintenance Manager in September 2022. Prior to this, I worked in Maintenance within Manufacturing and Office environments for 12 years. It is a huge change of scenery but incredibly rewarding knowing everything I do helps towards keeping the residents safe and happy. Little things such as hanging their favourite picture on the wall give them a familiar and personal touch to their room, making them feel more at home.


Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and two children as well as going on walks with our family dog.

Job Title: Clinical Lead

Joined: 2021

I joined the Solent Grange nursing team in March 2021 as an RN, transitioning from Critical Care and Interventional Nephrology Nursing to Dementia Care. While initially overwhelming as an overseas RN adapting to the UK’s health and social care ecosystem, I overcame challenges with the support of experienced colleagues and management. As a Clinical Lead Nurse, my role involves overseeing resident care, leading and mentoring our nursing team, and providing holistic dementia care that prioritises emotional, social, and mental well-being.


Passionate about creating a supportive environment where residents thrive with dignity and independence, I continually seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and stay updated with advancements in dementia care. Being a dementia nurse offers rewarding opportunities to positively impact the lives of residents and their families.


Dedicated to compassionate, person-centred care, I strive to improve residents’ lives and ensure they receive the best possible support throughout their journey.
