As the husband of a resident who has advanced dementia and cannot speak or read or write, I consider Homefield Grange to be an excellent care home and I am extremely thankful for the care given to my wife.

The staff and facilities are second to none. The home has been caring for 3 members of my family. My father has now sadly passed away and my stepmother and her sister remain there. I can't praise the staff enough. Always welcoming and friendly, easy to communicate with and nothing is ever too much trouble.
The care they give to residents is professional and compassionate. My relatives often regard the home as a hotel forgetting they're in a care home! The entertainment and personal care are also excellent. Grounds are lovely and in summer the family sit and picnic on the table provided. Even garden staff are friendly and happy to chat. My only wish would be that the cost was more affordable and that more people could offer this standard of care for their family members.

My mother stayed for 10 days respite. She is 100 yrs old and has stayed here twice before. The facilities are amazing, lovely big bright bedrooms, the dining room, lounges are also very light and bright with lovely views onto the well kept gardens. The staff are very friendly and efficient and do their
best to keep everyone happy and occupied.

My mother moved in to Homefield in November and, although a short time here, she has settled in well and all the staff are so welcoming.
P.s I never say excellent on any questionnaire!!

The care my mother received in the last month's of her life that she spent at Homefield Grange was excellent. The staff listened to my mother's needs, considered all the family's wishes and gave her the best of care and attention. My mother's room opened out on to the garden which gave her pleasure
watching wildlife and being able to experience fresh air when her mobility was compromised. I cannot thank all the staff enough for their sensitivity in making this very emotional time as pleasant and calm and possible.

Very warm welcome on arrival with my Aunt. Medical assessment completed and care plan put in place. Had stroke two days later - informed immediately, taken to A&E and returned same day with course of aspirin. Respite admission but day by day my aunt started to settle in and at this point in time is
pleased that she is here, hopefully on a permanent basis. Staff always appear cheerful and all disciplines work to provide a caring, friendly environment. Caring team work to cater for each individual client is very evident. If a problem arises speak to staff immediately and quickly dealt with. Billing layout with head office big problem- ruining a day off from work.

I find the staff at Homefield very helpful and welcoming. As soon as we put my mother in law into the home, people went out of there way to introduce themselves and to ask if we needed anything. On a daily basis mum get the best care from the staff. They always look in on her and have a chat and even
provide her with plenty of cuddles too. They always make sure mum is clean and eats as much as she can. Mum came from hospital to come here and since she arrived approx 2 months ago mum has even put on a bit of weight and is a lot happier in herself.

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.
