Welcome to The Grange Care Centre in Faringdon. Situated in the tranquil village of Stanford in the Vale, the charming home offers 24-hour nursing care for adults, on a long-term basis or for short-term respite care. They are blessed with a long-serving team of nursing and support staff that provide high-quality, person-centred care within a homely environment.

The Grange comprises 40 single bedrooms and 4 companion rooms for couples wishing to share. Most of the bedrooms are equipped with an en-suite W.C. and a hand basin. They encourage residents to furnish their new surroundings with familiar pieces of furniture and personal possessions to make them feel truly at home.

Many of the activities take place within the home environment and include garden parties, barbecues, arts/crafts and quiz nights. The team empowers individuals to enjoy those everyday routines they cherish, whether that’s having a salon blow-dry and manicure or keeping up to date with their favourite football team. As well as being encouraged to enjoy the home's landscaped gardens, residents also enjoy regular days out and seasonal trips further afield.

The Grange's professional catering team delivers nutritionally balanced meals that are appealing to all its residents. The professional food suppliers specialise in delivering high-quality food designed specifically for the healthcare sector.

Whenever we visited The Grange Care Centre, we found the carers were friendly and the management were always available to answer any queries we had. All in all, we felt that we made the right decision for my aunt to be cared for.

My mother was looked after outstandingly at The Grange. At all times my mother was cared for with dignity and great professionalism. It is a warm, friendly place with caring staff who are interested in what they are doing. This shows, management is superb. My mother enjoyed the last few months of her
life in a place where all our family felt she could not have been better placed. Thank you.

Without appointment called into The Grange Care Centre and was promptly taken to the manager who advised me on mum's care. From then onwards, I was guided by him including assessments of mum to ensure she would be suited and The Grange suited her. Equipment was purchased to aid mums needs. Mum settled
very quickly and got on very well with all the staff. She was always referred to her by name and they took into account her preferences on daily activities. Having trained nurses on site and a weekly visit from the GP is a great plus. The use of the lounge for family gatherings was always available and very much appreciated.

I recently stayed at The Grange for respite care for 2 weeks. The staff were all very welcoming and attentive. My room was adequate with an en-suite toilet and sink. The care staff were excellent, very friendly and treated me with dignity at all times. I would happily go back for respite again and look
forward to seeing the 'PAT' dog!

In March my dad was admitted to The Grange Care Centre as my niece and I could not longer care for him at home with a terminal illness. It took a while for us to "let go" of dad into their care. During this time the manager and staff were kind, patient and understanding.


Dad settled immediately.

He liked his bright room overlooking an attractive patio area with fountain. He loved his big screen TV to watch horse racing and enjoyed chats with the manager and staff. Dad was very happy there, as he deteriorated the carers spent prolonged periods with him to comfort and reassure. I was able to be with dad during the night he died. The night staff were kind and caring to me also. We could not have wished for a better home for dad to end his life.

I have found The Grange to be a wonderful place in a really beautiful part of the village. The staff- all of them- are the nicest people, so very helpful, always letting me know how my mum is and always there for me as well as mum. I'm asked every day how I am and it makes me feel welcome. They always
have time for both of us and mum feels as if she is at home, she loves it here!! Everyone is so nice to her. She is fed well, the food always looks good. I really can't say enough wonderful things about The Grange - because there isn't enough space. Great wonderful etc etc etc.

My mother only spent a few months at the Grange before sadly passing away aged 92. She was firmly of the view that she never wanted to go into a home. Within a few days she was settled in and happy. Because of her deteriorating health I was visiting three or four times a week so quickly met all the
staff involved with Mum. All were extremely friendly and caring. They clearly respected Mums wishes and always allowed her to make choices. The respect for Mums dignity was reinforced as she entered "end of life" care. Staff were regularly checking with me to make sure I was happy with Mums choices be it about feeding and pain relief.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.992)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.992) out of 10 for The Grange Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.992 for The Grange Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (130 Excellents x 5) + (1 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.992

  • 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 Centre is based on 11 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 49 registered maximum number of service users is 9.8, which has been reached with 11 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.
