Really pleased with the standard of care my grandad receives at Sutton Park Grange. It is clear that he is very well looked after and genuinely cared for. Staff at the home are always going the extra mile, and Grandad has never looked more relaxed and comfortable.

Staff were very kind and very helpful. Room extremely comfortable, clean and tidy. Food was good, but only small portions.

Reply from Karen Handley, Home Admissions Advisor at Sutton Park Grange

Thank you for your kind review, and we are glad that you enjoyed your stay here and that the staff were kind and helpful.
Feedback from residents here has been that the larger portions we served to them felt overwhelming and they would prefer to ask for more if they wished. I am sorry that this was not communicated to you as we would have been more than happy to serve you larger portions and will ensure this happens if you come to stay with us again. Thank you again for choosing Sutton Park Grange.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

We were dissatisfied with the level of care that my uncle was receiving at his previous care home. We researched various care homes in the Sutton Coldfield area and then arranged to attend at Sutton Park Grange for a preliminary inspection. From the outset, we were impressed with the standard of the
premises, the facilities for residents and the staff that we met. We subsequently arranged for my uncle to be transferred to Sutton Park Grange. We have been totally satisfied with all aspects of the care that he is receiving and the professionalism of all the staff. We are always made to feel welcome and that the comfort and happiness of the residents is the home's first priority.

Reply from Karen Handley, Home Admissions Advisor at Sutton Park Grange

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such kind words; your uncle is a pleasure to care for and to see how he is settling in here at Sutton Park Grange is a delight.

As from October, this year when my friend moved in, the home has changed her for the best. The staff are all so helpful, friendly and very well trained for her dementia care that she needs. The food is excellent and very well presented. I feel that she now has excellent care in an excellent environment.
Many thanks to each and everyone involved.

My friend has only been at Sutton Park Grange care home for a short while, but have really noticed a big change in her. She is more relaxed and has gained a little weight too. The care given here is excellent in every way. All staff are very helpful, polite and knowledgeable. Food is excellent. The
home itself is like a hotel. Absolutely beautiful inside with everything you could possibly need. A very calm and relaxed atmosphere with beautiful decor throughout. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff if you need anything. Thank you.

From the moment I entered Sutton Park Grange, I knew it was an extremely well run home, and my expectations have been exceeded. All members of staff, at all levels, are competent, always looking to make your stay memorable and sincerely friendly. I came to Sutton Park Grane within days of the passing

Dad has received excellent care during his respite stay here. A real home from home; staff make all the family feel so welcome. Dad has enjoyed his meals and drinks, and the hospitality extended to all the family. It's a pleasure to visit such a pleasant atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend it but
hope Dad will be able to return when needed if a room is available.

On our first visit to see my grandmother we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the hojmme and the staff were pleasant and very helpful.
Although my Nan has only been there a short while all of the staff were familiar with her and she seemed very happy. Nothing was too much trouble for
the staff. Even as visitors we were offered drinks on arrival.

The management and staff are all going above and beyond to support and care for the residents, their family members and friends. The food is amazing, the activities are varied and enjoyable, and the communication is fantastic (nothing is too much), and the care is given to my gran, and the other residents
are individually tailored to the resident to ensure it is the best for them.
It is always lovely to see management around and on the floor, and the home is beautifully decorated - even if Gran does like the shiny, sparkly coasters for herself! All of you are fab!

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My dad had resisted the idea of moving into a care home for some time saying, 'why would I want to leave my lovely home', but I could see he was struggling more and more on his own. So it was such a relief to me when he asked that I take him to the first open day. He was so impressed he wanted to sign
up there and then! It was the best decision he made, and that was the most important thing for me, that it was his decision... As you can see from the pictures and videos, the home is beautifully decorated and furnished with all facilities and everything you need on hand, and the garden is beautiful too with plenty of outdoor seating. The staff are all lovely and caring as you would expect, nothing is too much trouble. And the food is outstanding and lots of it - Dad has put on weight, which is great as he certainly could do with it! There are activities as well, which you can join in or not, and everybody is always very welcoming to me and Dad's visitors.

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.
