Our mum was a resident at Astley Grange for the last 2 1/2 years of her very long life. As a family, we can not fault the care she received as she became trailer. We felt Mum was being cared for with kindness and compassion and respected as an individual. From the admin staff and management, carers
and ancillary staff nothing was too much trouble. Moving Mum into a home felt such a massive step but from the outset, we knew she was in the right place and was safe. After several hard years of declining health at home that was so reassuring and we would have no hesitation in recommending Astley Grange.

The care and support for both Mum and family as she approached the end of her life was excellent. We were extremely grateful that she was so well cared for, and made so comfortable. We feel fortunate that she was able to be at Astley Grange.

Following a stay in the hospital and then the hospice we had the daunting task of finding a nursing home for Mum.
Our family chose Astley Grange Nursing Home who have made both my mum and us very welcome. The staff are lovely and always available to answer any questions. Mum is well looked after and
comfortable. Thank you for your care and compassion.

As a family, we are settled knowing Mum is cared for here by nice caring staff. The carers are really helpful and have really pushed to get Mum the physio she needs. One staff member, in particular, was especially helpful and proactive in this regard. We were welcomed warmly and always can discuss any
concerns we may have. Mum is happy with the food and she seems very settled. The only criticism is that the room needs updating with new fittings and furniture!

Astley Grange was like a breath of fresh air after Dad had been assessed in a dowdy dreary local nursing home. Astley Grange is bright and very clean. A janitor on site clearly maintains the home to a good standard. The staff have been really lovely and we did have our favourites - all of them. The
laundry ladies and the facility itself is first-class! Our Dad was going through a very difficult time with dementia and it was agreed he needed more nursing care elsewhere, meanwhile, the staff stepped up and it could not have been easy for them, they did all that they could to care for our Dad who was always clean and smart and well presented on our regular visits. We endeavoured to relocate him but sadly he took ill and the staff at Astley Grange did their absolute best to care for his needs. Because Astley Grange was so welcoming it was never a chore to visit. Our time at Astley Grange is now over but I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to family and friends.

My grandma has only resided in your care home for a few weeks. She is not physically fit enough to leave her room so I'm unaware of activities etc. The staff that I have met seem lovely, always pleasant and welcoming. My grandma appears to be well looked after, is clean, comfortable and states how nice
the staff are, so that is the best we can ask for. Thank you.

My mum has been in the care home, Astley Grange, Huddersfield, for the past 3 months and I have to say, the standard of care is out of this world. The place is spotless and if you want a cup of tea whilst visiting your relatives or friends, it's entirely not a problem to them, it's just second nature.
The home is also very professional and they have strict procedures to adhere to in times of hardship such as Covid. I would recommend this home as the place to be if you want peace of mind when you have to sadly make those horrible decisions in life because they're not easy decisions to make. Astley Grange staff are amazing.

My mum lives at Astley Grange after a fall at home; she is 91 and has Alzheimer's. I visited today, and she looked well, was smiling, had her hair and nails done and made a friend. The staff are efficient, kind and helpful and were engaged with her using an interactive TV. The home has a friendly, relaxed
atmosphere and has exceeded my expectations. I now have greater peace of mind knowing she is in safe hands and being looked after in all respects. I have no hesitation in recommending Astley Grange care home.

My mum was discharged to the care of Astley Grange Nursing Home after a spell in hospital. She was in quarantine for 10 days and the staff were amazing. We could speak through the window but as mum has dementia it was difficult for all concerned. The staff were wonderful with her and got her eating
and drinking again. We had been trying our best but failing her. She was wonderfully looked after and we all as a family appreciated all the love and care bestowed. I would recommend this care home. Very safety conscious too.

My mum was discharged from hospital to Astley Grange to be assessed for permanent care. During this time she had received excellent care. The staff have been wonderful making her feel safe and settled. She has dementia and we were worried how she would cope after living by herself for the last 40 years.
She settled very quickly, started eating again, and regained strength and the improvement in her well-being surprised all her family. We have moved her to a home in Halifax her home town and nearer other family. We would have been happy for her to stay in Astley Grange if it had been necessary. Their covid protocols are exemplary regarding visiting etc.

After 11 weeks in hospital my husband stayed at Astley Grange for 2 weeks. He was waiting to go for rehabilitation. He was looked after very well, food was enjoyable most of the time, friendly, helpful and efficient staff. The home is very clean and doesn’t smell at all. I would recommend it.

When my husband died, not one person came to his funeral, this was very bad and was noticed by one or two people as this was his home for 18 months. Staff were like family to him. The manager and care worker should have attended. It's the first funeral I've been to where no one has attended from a care
home.

Current Review Score: 9.2 (9.225)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.2 (9.225) out of 10 for Astley Grange Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 7 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 7 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 4.650 for Astley Grange Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (55 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 80 Ratings = 4.65

  • 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 4.575 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Astley Grange Nursing Home is based on 7 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 = 3.7

    • 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 40 registered maximum number of service users is 8. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 8 = 0.875

  • 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.
