From the very first day my husband was admitted to Cartmel Grange I knew he would be well cared for. All the staff are always most welcoming and attentive, no matter what the need. My husband has many needs and issues, but he is always clean and tidy. This room is beautiful and clean. Although he prefers
not to leave his room, his food is brought to him, the menu appears to be varied and well presented. He never complains. The laundry service seems to be very efficient now after some minor issues when he was first admitted. The entertainment seems to be very important, although we never partake. Special occasions are always celebrated well. A home that's very professional in my opinion.

My dad was admitted here from hospital must be 8 years ago now and the staff couldn't do enough for him. They took proper care of him, better than the hospital. The first day there, myself and the family arrived a couple hours later, 3 adults and a few kids and they welcomed us, made us all some tea
and ice lollies for the kids after tea. The care and love they had for him was amazing. They also made a little buffet and a cake for him for his 65th birthday and we had it in the TV room on the 3rd floor. I will never be able to thank them enough for what they did in the little time he had left so thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother has been in Cartmel Grange Care Home since March 2024. There are lots of well trained, caring, staff and they frequently check on the residents when they are in their own bedroom, and keep a close eye on them when they are in the TV room or community rooms.
The place is very clean and nicely
decorated.
There is entertainment in the form of singers who come in regularly and activities for the residents to partake in.
And they have a bus that takes residents on days out to local attractions, wheelchair bound or not.
Food is good and plentiful. And detailed records are kept on each resident.
The only down side is that, for my mum, it is very expensive.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. The staff team will be delighted with your kind words. The fee rates are generally aligned with other care homes in the region.

My mother has lived at Cartmel Grange Nursing home over the past two and a half years and I am writing this as her life nears its end. The staff have been fantastic, so kind, caring and compassionate and I take great comfort knowing that my mother is in their care. Cartmel Grange is an old building,
full of character. Highlights for my mother have been trips to the dining room each day for lunch where she has made new friends and enjoyed the food. Cartmel Grange encourage families to come and eat alongside residents which is really good. The garden is fantastic, the views amazing and we have spent many happy days in it.

Since my father became a resident his general health and well being has increased significantly. His quality of life is now so much better. He is surrounded by no end of smiling faces from attentive and caring staff. He enjoys and takes part in all the entertainment on offer and looks forward to trips
out. A highlight for dad was the summer fair. He now looks forward with relish to his first Christmas in care.

The visit I made to my friend was warm, friendly and welcoming. The staff were very caring and attentive to the residents needs. The home was very clean and homely. The activities and functions organised for the residents I felt were excellent and the staff, very caring people, joining in and making
sure that everyone was happy and enjoying themselves including the visitors. It was a lovely experience altogether.

Thank you for taking the time to review our service and your kind words. I noted that in some categories we only received 4 stars. It would be helpful for us if you could anonymously (if need be) highlight anything you feel we can improve on. We are open to any suggestions and positive critiques.

The new manager has been very very helpful, helping me come to terms with mum's diagnosis. They have moved her room which is much better. She sees more people and more content. All the carers in there are so friendly, helpful, always there to help. I just can't thank all the staff for the help and support
with my mum.

Outstanding performance by every staff member involved in the care of residents. This goes from nursing to cleaners, laundry and not forgetting maintenance men, it does not go unnoticed as regular visitor.
It's a cozy welcome feel as you enter the care home.
Improvements are seen to be made to the
building inside and out (hope the front entrance can be improved not good wheelchair access).
Residents enjoying trips out and outside entertainment regular visits.
In all, excellent all round.

I cannot say enough about the care all the staff gave to my partner during his stay in the home. He was only there for ten week weeks before he passed away, he was looked after with such passion. The staff always had a smile on their faces when we went to visit, they are all angels we couldn't have
picked a better nursing home for my partner to spend his last days, and I will be forever grateful.

Can't express enough the care and services the care home team has given to my brother. My brother suffers from Huntington's disease and has done so for several years. I have never seen him so settled and calm. The most important fundamental need for any of us is to feel safe, I know as his brother that
he has that in this home, and as well as great staff he has true friends that care for him there.
One word - outstanding!
Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Cartmel Grange Nursing 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 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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 4.796 for Cartmel Grange Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (228 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 279 Ratings = 4.796

  • 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 Cartmel Grange Nursing Home is based on 24 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 73 registered maximum number of service users is 14.6, which has been reached with 24 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.
