My mum has been a resident at Denmead Grange for 5 months now and is truly happy there. She initially went in for respite, following a fall at home and a 3-week stay in hospital. She had been determined that she wanted to live at home and would never go into 'one of those places'. I can honestly say
that from the very first moment I made contact with the home to enquire about a place for Mum I knew this was the right place for her, I just needed Mum to see that too. From the first day she was made to feel welcome and cared for and with the gentle encouragement and persuasion from the extremely hard-working, dedicated and friendly staff, she takes part in the fabulous range of activities that are offered and has become part of a community, something she did not have before she moved in. The home is excellent at keeping me informed about everything that is going on with mum and I want to thank them all. Mum says it is her home now.

I visit a lot of care homes in the area on a professional basis. Recently, mum needed to go into a care home for respite following an operation. I immediately knew which care home I would choose, and that would be The Grange. Mum has been in there now for five weeks. We are so impressed with the overall
level of care that The Grange has given Mum that we are now thinking of a long term solution with them. All of the staff are amazing, it's not just a job to them, you can see they genuinely care about what they do, and that comes across all the time and is very evident in what they do and the way they do it. It must be really hard finding the right staff to hit the ground running when you first open a new home, but, The Grange have struck gold in their major assets being the staff. I would like to pass on my thanks to them for the wonderful way they are looking after Mum.

What a year. I approach this review with a heavy heart as my relative has died from Covid while a resident. It might seem strange to review her stay, when it ended with such a dreadful outcome. But contracting Covid was an accident that no amount of caution, PPE, hand washing or other infection control
measures could have prevented. What was important was that from the moment she arrived, on the very day of lockdown back in March, my beloved mum was treated with kindness, care and attention of an exceptional standard. We saw her whenever we could, were kept informed and updated often when we couldn’t and felt completely involved in her life. Staff and managers have been exceptional throughout and we can’t speak highly enough of them. Special mention must be made of a senior carer, who repeatedly goes above and beyond. She tries but fails to hide her fondness for the residents and that alone makes the wrench of not being with a loved one, much easier to bear. Thank you all.

My experience of being in Denmead Grange has been amazing, right down to the management, the cleaners, housekeeping and not forgetting the chefs, maintenance and laundry. I'm only here for respite, but if I needed to have to go into a care home, I would definitely pick Denmead Grange. Thank you for
having me.

Thank you for helping my mum during difficult times of Covid. Mum was looked after and cared for in the most amazing way, no problems with anything or anyone, I felt secure in the knowledge that mum was always safe and being cared for with understanding from the fabulous staff, that includes every one
there! She loved her stay, especially the fabulous food! I would recommend anyone having to choose a great place for a loved one to choose the Grange! You are all amazing! So helpful and nothing was ever too much trouble, thank you to all of you!

We are delighted with the way Mum has been welcomed into her new home and nothing has been too much trouble for the staff when getting her settled in. Mum had lived alone for many years and was used to her own routine and the staff have done all they can to maintain this and Mum has a great balance
between privacy and socialising. She has really enjoyed taking part in all the activities and is particularly pleased to have dogs visit!
Every time we visit she tells us how lovely the place is which is a great relief for us all knowing she is well cared for and respected by all staff.

My father came to the Grange initially for respite care, but with the view that he would be a permanent resident. Going into a home was something Dad had resisted for many years. However, I was delighted that my frail 95-yeard-old father settled in so well. The level of care he received was excellent.
Nothing was too much trouble. Such a positive, happy, caring and comforting atmosphere has been created. All the staff are dedicated and committed to making sure Dad's needs were well met. I cannot recommend The Grange highly enough for all that they do for him.

The Grange has given excellent care to my relative. Having joined The Grange family as an anxious and scared lady, she is now calm and content. Having met some lovely residents and carers, she now has company 24/7, which was much needed.

I am more than happy to highly recommend Denmead to anyone looking for a caring home for a senior relative.
Mum has been a widow for nearly 40 years and has been determinedly independent in that time and managed to live alone in her own home until the grand old age of 95 with minimal supervision until
the coronavirus situation finally tipped the balance against her. We were lucky that Denmead was accepting new residents and were very impressed by the new building, accommodation, facilities and welcome from the staff. Mum has been made very comfortable and all the staff have been very helpful and kind to her and have eased her in gently and allowed her to follow a routine that suits her (she likes a lie-in!).
As we were all at least an hour's drive away from her house it is comforting to know she has company and 24-hour attention if she needs it and we don't need to worry about her.

My mother moved to Denmead Grange in April 2020 and we cannot be more thankful to the staff for all of the help and time they have given in supporting Mum's move. She went to Denmead Grange very anxious and apprehensive but is now a different lady. This is even more of a credit to Denmead Grange as
it has been during the COVID lockdown period when family and friends have not been able to support her through regular visits. Initially, we were impressed by the facilities, which are absolutely lovely, but without a doubt, we now would highly recommend the care.

In this extremely worrying time of the Covid-19 virus. My daughter, who lives on her own, fell and broke her leg and was admitted to the Barchester Denmead Grange Care Home for ongoing care following an operation. Her care has been second to none, and we are so relieved that this worrying time for all
of us as a family that she is being taken care of. We hadn't been able to visit or see her for 3 months, until this week when we were invited by the general manager to pay a 30 mins visit. Amazing! Thank you very much.

Current Review Score: 10.0 (9.953)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 10 (9.953) out of 10 for Barchester Denmead Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 16 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 4.953 for Barchester Denmead Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (183 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 192 Ratings = 4.953

  • 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 Barchester Denmead Grange Care Home is based on 16 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 16 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.
