I am delighted with SPG, the atmosphere and care is second to none. All the staff are kind, helpful and professional. I have seen such a positive change in my Father since he has been here. Dad joins in the activities, he is eating much better, he looks well, and engages with other residents well. The
staff are great, I am very thankful for all they are doing to improve Dad's life.

My mother has been very well looked after. It was a very difficult time for my mother losing her husband and moving out of her home of 50 years. The care is exceptional and the staff and management really care and are very approachable. There are 4 different activities every day and this has helped
my mother to integrate. Mealtimes are a big social event and the quality of the food is very high. My sibling says it is like a 5-star hotel.

Sutton Park Grange (SPG) has been a revelation to us. The care and thoughtfulness shown to both my Father and our family have been exemplary since he came to try SPG out. He has settled so well that he is staying. His room is spacious and extremely comfortable with a larger bed that is much appreciated.
His bathroom is hotel standard. The surroundings are comfortable, immaculate, and smart but also homely. He is very complimentary about the food and we all love the coffee bar. The staff are superb - experienced, kind and friendly. They have taken the trouble to get to know my Father and also our family and to do everything they can to help both him and us. Communication is also excellent and timely. Every aspect of our experience has been so positive that it has made a challenging time much less difficult because he is safe, happy, comfortable, and cared for. Thank you, SPG. Highly recommended.

My father-in-law was a resident for around one year. The staff are wonderful, and so caring, and they go above and beyond. Unfortunately, my father-in-law passed away last week, but the care and support he and all of the family received were incredible. Absolutely amazing. Thank you to all of the staff

Mom has come on leaps and bounds since she has been here. We know in our hearts we made the right choice that was best for her. If she has been ill, we have always been contacted, nothing is ever too much. Mom has made lots of friends while here and she loves taking part in all activities and she loves
to update us when we visit. We cannot thank the staff enough for what they do for Mom.

Sutton Park Grange is a fresh, impressive-looking home that resembles a 5-star hotel. It is clean, with a very pleasant environment and it is run by attentive, caring and respectful staff. My father stayed there for respite care for a week in mid-November 2023 and he as well as the family felt that
he was in good hands. When my time comes, I would certainly be looking to stay at this place too.

My mother moved into Sutton Park Grange this summer and was made to feel both welcomed and cared for. The staff were attentive and thoughtful and sensitively handled her transfer to the dementia floor after a few weeks. Mum has had ups and downs and is now more settled. She has participated increasingly
with the activities on offer. As frequent visitors, my brother and I, as well as our families have been made welcome. We are pleased with Sutton Park Grange as a home for Mum.

My mother has been a resident at Sutton Park Grange since July 2021. The current leadership is very responsive, kind, understanding and highly effective.
As my mother's dementia has depended, there is great care and support both for her and me. Mum doesn't eat well and struggles with personal care,
but the carers continue to try to encourage her.

Mum moved into Sutton Park Grange at the very end of July and the staff were so kind and helpful to me in assisting me to make the decision on her behalf. The admissions manager took the time to meet with me, to talk me through exactly how the moving-in day would run and what I needed to do beforehand.
When we arrived, everyone came to meet Mum and to introduce themselves, her room was ready, her clothes labelled and hung in her wardrobe. Wonderful!

My mother has been with Sutton Park Grange for the last five days after being in hospital for five weeks. What can I say, the team have been amazing in helping my mom feel comfortable and at ease in the short time she has been there. The management team have gone above and beyond to help Mom settle
and the whole team have been amazing, incredibly caring and supportive to Mom's needs. We can not thank you enough and we have seen a massive improvement in Mom's mood and comfort in the short time she has been in the care of Sutton Park Grange. Mom hasn't yet taken part in any activities as she is still building up her strength and confidence to participate. Thank you so much for all you have done so far for my mother. Five stars from me.

Sutton Park Grange is a well appointed care home with a touch of luxury. Whenever I've been in to visit my mother it's always looked and smelled clean. The garden is well maintained and it's nice that the residents are encouraged to take part in the planting. Staff are always very pleasant and helpful,
though they seem to have been a bit short-staffed over the last few weeks. It's comforting to know that carer/resident bonding is nurtured, as this will help my mother feel as safe and valued as possible.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.839)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.839) out of 10 for Sutton Park 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 50 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 50 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 4.839 for Sutton Park Grange is calculated as follows: ( (513 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (12 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 595 Ratings = 4.839

  • 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 Sutton Park Grange is based on 50 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 50 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.
