My mother has had respite care here. It is a really good place: clean, spacious, caring staff and good food. Clearly it is well run as all staff work well together and are happy in their work. There are good quality activities most days. As family members we have also been well supported by staff which
has been very much appreciated.

My mum has been a resident of Homefield Grange for two and a half years now. She is 93 years old and has dementia. Homefield Grange is now her home.
Homefield Grange is not perfect, sometimes mum wears clothes that aren't hers, sometimes the tablecloths might be a bit messy BUT my mum is warm, well
fed and extremely well looked after.
She is also happy. She may not be living in the world we know but she is happy in her world and that means so much to me.

My review remains the same as earlier this year, Homefield Grange are outstanding, caring and professional, a superb team. Thank you.
Homefield Grange have looked after my mum for nearly 4 years. She was diagnosed with vascular dementia and has suffered multiple falls. As her health has steadily declined,
the team have sensitively and professionally supported her care and well-being. Now under the able caring and knowledgeable leadership of the manager, the team are brilliant - as much as they are able to create a happy and homely environment for all the residents. Thank you for looking after mum.

My mother is very happy in Homefield Grange, which is no mean feat because she always used to say she would never consider moving to a care home in later life. Subsequent ill-health, however, necessitated full-time nursing care and mum relented. Both she, and wider family, are very pleased and grateful
that she has been able to move to Homefield Grange - a haven of calm and efficient care. Friendly staff provide for her needs while maintaining her dignity. Thank you Homefield!

My mum has been with Homefield Grange Care Home for 2 years and she is absolutely thriving. She was quite poorly when she first arrived due to unmanaged diabetes. Since being in the home and monitored daily she has improved ten fold. She enjoys every aspect of Homefield Grange even though she was very
very reluctant to move into residential care. We as a family would like to thank all of the staff at Homefieled Grange, I really can not fault anything.

I visited my father, now 103, at Homefield recently with my cousins from South Africa. We were given a delicious lunch with my father sitting with us. Everyone wanted to make the long distance family visit a memorable event which it was. The care and personal attention my father receives are heartwarming
and such a relief to know he is safe, happy and under constant supervision.

Dad has been a resident for over a year and I have been impressed by the continuity of care staff and the communication and support we've experienced as a family. The care staff/nurses have taken the time to get to know Dad and treat him with dignity. They feedback brilliantly to the family and have
time to talk through issues. The rooms are a little tired and email responses regarding admin (and finance from the central office) are slow at times. I feel Dad is safe and well looked after and would recommend Homefield Grange to others.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.713)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.713) out of 10 for Homefield Grange Care 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 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 4.713 for Homefield Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (207 Excellents x 5) + (57 Goods x 4) + (11 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.713

  • 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 Homefield Grange Care 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 64 registered maximum number of service users is 12.8, 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.
