My mum has been in respite care at Abbey Grange. She has put on weight since she moved in. She doesn't seem as nervous. All queries have been answered promptly. The staff seem very caring and even arranged a video call between me and my mum.

The staff at Abbey Grange are friendly and pleasant, due to the current COVID situation, they have adapted and put measures in place so that visiting my grandparents was like a home from home experience. The staff are patient and kind and engage my grandfather, who despite having dementia, make him
feel like part of the Abbey Grange family. I would like to thank them for the hard work they do.

Reply from Kerry Peach, Home Manager at Abbey Grange Care & Nursing Home

Always a friendly welcome. My dad appears happy and mostly well cared for although he hasn't got out of bed often enough and spends large amounts of his time alone. I feel staff could offer more entertainment for him within his room through staff putting DVDs on or music for him to enjoy.

My brother is a resident at Abbey Grange. As I only get to see him once a week for a couple of hours, going on this I can see the carers/clerical staff do their utmost to see to the needs of the resident. I realise this is a difficult thing to undertake, as I helped my sister cope with care of my other
brothers some years ago. I am a half brother a lot younger than them.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Staff at Abbey Grange cared for our mother as if she were their own. She was shown dignity, compassion, stimulation and kindness by care staff, support staff and management. Her rooms were kept clean and tidy all the time, and mums belongings always safe and secure. The food was good and adapted to
her needs, she was helped to eat when required. Staff were also keen to ensure Mum had stimulation and this included encouraging her to participate in activities as well as simply talking with her. They made time to understand her background so they could engage her in conversation despite dementia. Mum was encouraged to help herself to maintain her independence but never left to struggle. The staff were kind and patient with her. The whole facility is clean and generally well maintained, tired in some areas, but not in any way that affects the care the service users receive.

I feel the home provides an acceptable level of care. Staffing levels appear good in terms of the ratio of carers to patients. I have visited on a regular basis and found this to be so on all visits. My major concern is the standard of the rooms which is very poor. I have only, in my many visits, ever
seen one domestic and never seen any deep cleaning and in fact, my relative's room has always got food (biscuit pieces) on the floor (the same pieces in the same place) for several days.

Comfortable care home and suitable for my aunt's needs. She has improved measurably since she came here and increased in well-being and put on weight.
She has her own room and privacy, the room is en-suite, large and has all home comforts.

The home always feels welcoming and the staff and management are very friendly. Always very helpful and if you have any issues they are dealt with immediately. Nothing seems too much trouble when you approach the staff for anything. When being in the home I have noticed how caring the staff are with
all the residents. Would definitely recommend the care home.

I believe the care staff do the best they can but I am not convinced there are enough of them or that they are "directed" appropriately. When I want information about my father, it is difficult to get an answer without being passed around from one person to another and this is very frustrating. I worry
about the stimulation of residents due to what appears to be a lack of staff to spend time individually with residents.

Our Mum has recently had another fall through her determination to do things on her own even though there are things in place to alert staff when she moves. We would like to commend that carers for responding quickly, notifying medical staff and contacting me by phone. The staff are very patient and
caring ans always settle Mum down when she has irritable and confusing days. She is always treated with dignity. We are always informed of any change in her health and medication, also personal needs for anything to make her as comfortable as possible.

My mother has a large room in Abbey Grange which is excellent for her as she needs a hoist for mobility.
The food has been erratic in quality but there has been a recent improvement.
Why aren't items such as malty drinks and mint sauce provided for meals/every day? For the money paid they should be.
Many
of the staff are very pleasant and welcoming.
Have had to mention poor hygiene care on one occasion which seems to have improved.
Someone needs to clean the window sill where flowers/plants are kept.

My mum was happy in Abbey Grange. The staff were wonderful as were the management. She was made to feel relaxed and she enjoyed the banter with the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.3 (9.290)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.3 (9.290) out of 10 for Abbey Grange Care & Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.3 out of 5 from 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.290 for Abbey Grange Care & Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (131 Excellents x 5) + (49 Goods x 4) + (13 Satisfactorys x 3) + (7 Poors x 2) + (14 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 214 Ratings = 4.29

  • 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 Abbey Grange Care & Nursing Home is based on 16 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 74 registered maximum number of service users is 14.8, which has been reached with 16 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.
