Since moving my mother-in-law to Gracewell, I have been impressed with the overall care and wellbeing provided. The care staff have been incredibly kind and welcoming, professional and compassionate throughout her time there.
The management have been proactive in relation to her needs, and mine, and
established a good relationship all round.
Very pleasant accommodation and surroundings, clean and well maintained.

Both of my parents are in Gracewell of Sutton. They have different needs and all of those needs are being met. I am extremely happy with all aspects of their care and I have recommended to friends for their parents one of which is moving in soon.

My father has only been here for a short while, but already feels at home and has shown a significant improvement in his mental well being. I can't fault the staff I've dealt with, who are all very approachable and friendly. It was a big step for my dad to move into a care home, but coming into Gracewell
he was made welcome, treated with dignity and now feels part of the family. Small things make a big difference, he mentioned a film he wanted to see and the activities co-ordinator purchased it and put it on in the cinema room for the residents the following week. I feel safe knowing dad is being looked after and very well fed!

As a family, we are extremely happy with every aspect of the care and attention that my father has received since becoming a resident of Gracewell. We can actually spend quality family time when visiting as everything is taken care of and nothing is too much trouble. All the staff are lovely and welcoming.
We have no doubt that we have made the best choice for our father.

I see a resident 2/3 times a week on a regular basis over the last 2 years. Staff have built positive, secure relationships with my friend as well as myself. Facilities are amazing, welcoming the entertainment manager is inspiring and a very happy person who is always so welcoming. The staff on the
front desk is loved by my friend and others as well as myself who offers a smile every time and goes above and beyond to make residents happy and settled in the 'Bistro'. Love it at Gracewell on every visit.

My father became a resident on the Memory floor at the beginning of the year having been “rejected” by two other care homes. Overall I have been very happy with his care and I have really appreciated that the staff and management have taken the time to really get to know my Dad and me. I know he is
safe and well looked after. Any concerns I raise are promptly dealt with. The food is great and Dad clears his plate and has put on weight. It was a very difficult decision to accept that Dad needed more care than I could give and needed to be in a safe and secure environment. To date, Gracewell has provided this for Dad. It’s not cheap when you are self-funding but it’s more affordable than other care homes nearby who offer similar facilities.

My Mum was in Gracewell for a year with dementia which got significantly worse.
When we visited she was always in bed with no television or radio on. Her glasses were never on her.
She was never put in the sitting room in a decent chair but left in her wheelchair if she was moved.
The sitting
room is away from the nursing station and a lot of the residents ended up sitting on hard chairs by the nurse's station.
Many of mum's belongings went missing and were never found.
I think personally there were not enough staff and a lot of agency staff so did not know the residents.
Just because a place looks good it doesn't mean the care is good.
She has since moved to a smaller home and the care is amazing and so different.

Mum was a resident at Gracewell of Sutton for 10 months until she passed. During that time, she, my sister and I were all very impressed with the level of professional care that she was shown. It would be impossible to single out any member of the caring or nursing staff to name individually. They were
all stars. We remain very grateful to them for everything that they did for Mum. They certainly went beyond what would be expected of them professionally, sometimes even entering into their own personal time. A big thank you to everyone at Gracewell of Sutton.

I was a respite resident for four weeks after three weeks in hospital. The Gracewell is a very charming, well-run home with superb carers and nursing staff, lots of activities and excellent food. Rather like a 5 star hotel with hospital care. There was nothing they could not do for me and I enjoyed
my full recovery there. I would certainly return any time.

Deciding which care home to move my grandmother towas made easy when we visited Gracewell. Kindness, individuality and compassion are what makes it so special. My grandmother suffers from Dementia and she feels so safe here. At times as family members, we have found it tough to watch her struggle with
her mind but all the staff are there to help without needing to ask. From the reception to the catering, everyone shows genuine warmth and respect for the whole family. Thank you.

Mum settled here easily. The staff are very friendly and caring of the residents. The activities over Christmas were plentiful, with games and singers in. We were worried about leaving her at Christmas but she had a good time and she gets too confused when we take her out.

Gracewell is a very friendly place. They have been very kind to my Aunt, who came in because she has onset of Dementia. She has been here since December and has really settled in well.
Family are always made to feel welcome and can come and join their family for meals and the activities which are going

I would recommend this place as top rate. Staff are always kind and thoughtful to the people, making them feel dignified which is important at any age.

My mum moved into Gracewell in December 2016. Having made the very difficult decision on mums care we received excellent support from the team at Gracewell. Our mum settled very well and was extremely well cared for from day one. The care she receives is of a very high standard, I have found all the
staff to be friendly, caring and supportive. The quality of the activities is excellent and varied. The accommodation is of a very high standard and the communal areas are very nice. My mum enjoys the food which always looks nice. Gracewell has a very homely atmosphere, we are always made very welcome and I have enjoyed meeting the other families. The most important thing for me as a daughter is that my mum is happy and well cared for and she most definitely is.

Everyone at Gracewell is fantastic. The care that we see given to my nan is so appreciated and so wonderful, we know she is in good hands. The dedication the nurses have, to the care provided is amazing. We see my nan having fun, laughing and enjoying herself which is wonderful. Gracewell is modern,
clean and feels like home. We are lucky to have such wonderful people to help in such a difficult time in my nan's life.

My relative moved into Gracewell in December after a spell in hospital and has benefitted greatly from the care and nursing he has received there. All the staff are friendly, caring and professional. Nothing is too much trouble and we always feel welcome when we visit. Standards are high and the food
is excellent. We highly recommend this care home.

The standard of care that our Mother has received has been and continues to be excellent. Carers are very friendly, warm, welcoming and very caring towards Mum and towards us as a family too. We are given clear and honest explanations about what is going on. Whether that be generally or specifically
about our Mum and the approach is always friendly. There is a lovely atmosphere within the home and the environment is always warm and welcoming. We are so pleased that we chose this home for our Mum and have every confidence that she is being well looked after and respected for who she is. A huge thank you to all concerned!

The manager and her team have done an amazing job with settling Daddy in and being an incredible support to both my father and my sister. It's a very tough process but everyone is so happy to help with every detail. Daddy is an old fashioned gentleman and the home have been amazing at helping hang his

My 94-year-old mother needed to go into nursing care after 14 weeks in hospital following a fall and hip fracture. She became bedridden and incontinent in hospital. We heard about Gracewell of Sutton as it was new due to open end of October 2016. We went to see the home and were very impressed. Mum
moved in, in January 2017. In one week mum went from being depressed and wanting to go home to loving everyone here, joining in the activities and referring to HER room. Seeing as she has acute dementia this was a tremendous leap forward in her condition. The staff are amazing and so dedicated. We know mum will spend the rest of her days very happy.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.836)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.836) out of 10 for Tennyson Grange 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 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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 4.836 for Tennyson Grange is calculated as follows: ( (234 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 275 Ratings = 4.836

  • 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 Tennyson Grange is based on 23 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 83 registered maximum number of service users is 16.6, which has been reached with 23 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.

Brighton Nyagomo

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2023

I have over 20 years of experience as a nurse and five years of experience in management.


I joined Care UK because I believe its reputation for providing the highest quality care complements my commitment to providing compassionate and individualised care.


I’ve enjoyed a varied career, having worked as a care assistant, nurse and deputy manager, which means I have a good skill set when it comes to leading the team.


As a leader, I value honesty and transparency and maintain an open-door policy at all times. I believe it’s important to be understanding and open-minded while also being knowledgeable and a fast learner.


I’m proud to make a difference in the lives of residents and colleagues at Tennyson Grange. I find it so rewarding when I see that residents are happy and well looked after and team members are engaged and cheerful.


I look forward to leading and empowering a team dedicated to learning and improving the quality of life for residents at Tennyson Grange. I also look forward to developing good working relationships with relatives, commissioning bodies and the CQC.
