  • Tadworth Grove Care Home, Tadworth
Tadworth Grove is a purpose-built home that offers residential, nursing and dementia* care, palliative, convalescence and respite stay. At Tadworth Grove, staff are all highly trained in providing 24-hour tailored care. Stays can be from as little as a week. It could be a week to experience living here, a month while recovering from an operation or a more long-term move. Advance bookings available.

Staff get to know each resident personally, to make sure they get the balance between support and independence just right. This provides peace of mind for families and a safe and comfortable home for residents. There are lots of places to relax here. Residents can get their hair done in the salon, enjoy the warmth of the conservatory or catch up with family in one of the lounges. Outside, residents can enjoy views of woodland and horses in neighbouring fields. Landscaped grounds offer several attractive seating areas, raised flowerbeds and wheelchair-friendly paths.

There’s always plenty going on, with things to do arranged every day of the week. There are strong links with the local community and monthly residents’ meetings which means everyone has a say. From weekly singers and entertainers, arts and crafts, games, music clubs to a weekly cheese and wine evening every Wednesday, there is always something going on. So whether loved ones already have a hobby or would like to take up a new one, there are lots of exciting activities to get involved in. Anyone is welcome to pop in and join in, whether a friend, relative or loved one.

My father has been brilliantly cared for in every sense for 2 years. His family could not have chosen a better care home. All staff have been very helpful- especially administration staff, in particular always being there to help the family understand various things over the years. Tadworth Grove Care
Home is the very best. Thank you.

My mum became a resident of Tadworth Grove in January 2024 after a series of falls and Alzheimer's meant she could no longer live alone at home. The change in her, both physically and mentally, since she became a resident has been outstanding to watch. She has gone from spending all day in bed and hardly
eating or drinking, to participating in multiple activities every day and eating more than I've ever seen her eat before. She is thriving at Tadworth Grove, which seems a strange thing to say... but the staff and company of other residents has been the absolute best thing for my mum. She always seems happy - the staff are so caring, respectful and make a real effort to engage with her. As a family, we are so relieved that our mum is well looked after, safe and cared for. We have absolutely no regrets about our mum's move and would highly recommend Tadworth Grove to others.

Reply from Grace Langfield, Customer Service Adviser at Tadworth Grove Care Home

Thank you for such a lovely review. We are so pleased to hear you can feel at ease knowing your mum is receiving the best possible care at our home, and it's great to hear how much she has improved with the nurturing our staff have given her. We will certainly pass your comments onto the home's manager.

My mum has been a resident for a year now. She started with respite care and has now become a permanent resident. It took a little while with the support of the wonderful care staff to settle in but now she loves it and she is always happy and smiling. Without exception, every member of staff she has
contact with is kind and caring. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is excellent. There are plenty of activities for those who want to join in. I would highly recommend this home to anyone.

I visited a friend who is a resident in the care home on 24/08/2023. Everyone was very friendly and helpful from the reception through to nurses and those in charge on the 2nd floor. It was a very clean home. I was offered refreshments and the resident himself told me it was very good in the home.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.927)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.927) out of 10 for Tadworth Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 22 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 22 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 4.927 for Tadworth Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (244 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 262 Ratings = 4.927

  • 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 Tadworth Grove Care Home is based on 22 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 45 registered maximum number of service users is 9, which has been reached with 22 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.
