I cannot recommend Carpathia Grange highly enough. My mum went there for a few weeks to be cared for after an operation, and the care she received was excellent. All the staff without exception were welcoming, friendly, caring and highly professional in everything they did. The facilities are superb,
the rooms are very comfortable and the decor is lovely. My mum was very well looked after and she enjoyed her stay there. She would not hesitate to return there if the need ever arose.

It became apparent following a recent hospital admission that my father could no longer manage living on his own so we approached a number of nursing homes to identify a suitable place for him, including Carpathia Grange. I cannot fault the superb service that my father and I have received from all
of the staff at Carpathia Grange during this process. The manager who assisted us initially was, throughout such a support in every possible way. She has given guidance and help way beyond her remit and continues to do so now my father is a resident. The purpose-built facilities are very impressive, and there is a really positive, inclusive atmosphere. The team have been very attentive to my father’s needs and this along with the excellent food has meant my father has settled well and he is fitter and stronger after only two weeks. Thank you.

A clean, friendly and well-run care home who put their residents needs foremost. Rooms are bright and airy, individually decorated and with their own ensuite facilities. A dining room, lounge room and kitchen are on every floor. Food is carefully prepared to be healthy, nutritious and also tastes and
looks good. You are able to take lunch with your resident with pre-booking. Refreshments are always available.
This care home has been very attentive to my mother in her terminal stages and the staff are just as attentive to relatives as well. I have been given a great deal of comfort, love and support from them through this difficult time.
This care home was a good choice for my mother, who said many times she liked being there.

A very friendly and warm welcome by all the staff. It has a very homely environment and all the staff look happy in their work. Food is excellent, cleanliness is spotless and I was certainly impressed with the laundry service - all clothes being named and came back to the room all neatly folded or on
hangers and neatly put away. All the carers are good which makes the residents feel at home.

Mum understandably did not want to go in just anywhere but is very happy and settled, so much so, she is staying another week. As good as a 4-star/5-star hotel.

My first impressions of Carpatjoa Grange were good, and all I have seen since has confirmed that the families decision to move my mother-in-law to Carpathia was a good one. She now enjoys taking her lunch in the dining room with her fellow residents and participates in more shared activities.

Carpathia Grange is unlike any other Care Home I have visited. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly and the staff have time to chat, which I feel is very important. The facilities are excellent and the residents have a varied programme of activities to ensure no-one is bored. Dad has been very well
looked after and has enjoyed the freshly prepared food and the fact that mealtimes are such a highlight of the day. We couldn’t have hoped for a better home from home!

From initial contact and meetings with Carpathia management, we were confident we had made the right choice of care home for a family member. Carpathia Grange is a purpose-built care home, the layout, decor and facilities are outstanding.
The staff are very professional and provide a very high standard
of care. My mother-in-law has settled well, enjoys all the activities and attention and looks forward to mealtimes as the food is excellent with plenty of choice.

From the first meeting with management to look at plans of the building, to selecting the perfect room to moving in...excellent.
My client came in for a trial and now does not wish to go home. The staff are all friendly, helpful and welcoming. And the food, say no more, yum yum.

This new purpose-built care home is superb. Bright, comfortable and well designed. From the management downwards continual contact is made to the residents. There are many plus points eg food is very good with variable menus. All staff are so cheerful with respectful contact and always so keen to help.
I enjoy living here and happy to stay here for the rest of my days.

Well presented care home modern and thoughtfully laid out. Professional and friendly sales and medical staff. Introduction well presented. The rooms have general fulfillments but not overly furnished. Public Wi-Fi not secure enough closed system would create fewer problems.
Overall a very cosy and
tasteful establishment with excellent staff.

My mother moved to Carpathia Grange two weeks ago and has settled in very well. The staff have made her very welcome and have helped her to adjust to her new surroundings. The staff are friendly and attentive to her needs. The whole process has been smooth from the first enquiries to moving in.

My stepfather moved in a week ago from another local facility and I cannot believe the change in him. He is so happy and content and the care he is receiving is second to none. Staff are highly trained, attentive and empathic. The food is incredible as is the service, with each floor having its own
dining room, offering a wide selection of freshly cooked meals with wine or whatever takes your fancy, more restaurant than rest home.
From the moment you walk into the main reception and coffee lounge, you would forget you were entering a care home. Care UK have done an amazing job in both its design and function. They have certainly thrown down the gauntlet for competing facilities. There is absolutely nothing negative to think about Carpathia Grange and I highly recommend paying a visit if you're making that tough decision to move a loved one into full-time care, any trepidation is quickly erased.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.857)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.857) out of 10 for Carpathia Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 38 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 4.857 for Carpathia Grange is calculated as follows: ( (413 Excellents x 5) + (42 Goods x 4) + (3 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) + (3 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 463 Ratings = 4.857

  • 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 Carpathia Grange is based on 38 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 38 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.

Jodie Farr

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2025

We have a terrific team at Carpathia Grange. I started working here in 2020 and have progressed from Team Leader to Unit Manager, Deputy Manager, and Home Manager.


We all work incredibly hard, and I am proud of what we have achieved. So far we have received gold standard framework accreditation, which shows that we consistently deliver high quality end of life care when needed.


We have also achieved VIPS accreditation which focuses on high quality person-centred care for residents living with dementia. Both demonstrate our commitment to residents, ensuring we make a real difference to those we support.


Asa Home Manager, it’s important to have good communication skills, be transparent and have a vision for high standards. As a leader, you also need to be positive and approachable; it is my role to provide help and support to colleagues as well as residents.


My favourite part of working here is ensuring all residents enjoy being at Carpathia Grange. We create happy memories and actively nurture healthy lifestyles. Seeing smiles on the lovely faces of residents makes me smile too. I feel privileged to be able to make such a positive difference in people’s lives.


Outside of work, I love a spa day to unwind and relax. I also enjoy spending time with my family.
