Situated next to one of their Extra Care Schemes, this home provides nursing care for 72 people with a variety of care and physical needs including dementia and end of life care.

All of the bedrooms are spacious and en-suite designed around the people who live in the home. There are five separate communities each with their own lounge and dining areas. On the ground floor, there is a lounge and dining area leading to a conservatory and access to the enclosed landscaped garden.

Each area has complimentary tea and coffee making facilities and they encourage friends and family to enjoy refreshments together just as if it were happening in a person’s own home. BBQs and picnics are held in the garden which is secluded, safe and pleasant to sit in. There is a hair salon and a room for films or watching special sporting or social occasions.

The whole building exceeds CSSIW requirements with bigger bedrooms, wider corridors, spacious lounges and a high staff to residents ratio.

Owned and operated by Linc Care, the team at Capel Grange recognises that every resident is different, so each person has a unique care plan designed just for them, encompassing both care requirements and personal preference.

The staff are very kind and helpful. My mothers room and bathroom are kept very clean. The hallways and general rooms are clean and tidy. The facilities such as hairdresser and activities are good. The food is good and there seems to be some choice. The decor is a little dated on Kestrel wing which
can make the hallways dark. I think a coffee machine in the conservatory would be a lovely addition as most people enjoy a barista type coffee as they cannot go out much. Residents could buy own pods. I think the cleaning staff and careworkers do a fantastic job and have made my mother feel at home. We have had some issues regarding laundry which has meant spending more money on clothes which have disappeared and boiling all items is not necessary. Overall a very good care home.

Myself and my daughter were looking for a nursing home that could facilitate my brother who has Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia and also needed nursing care for other complaints. From the moment we rang and spoke to the receptionist about the procedure and waiting time scale, we were invited down
straight away, she is such an amazing person who made us feel at ease as soon as we met her! We were shown all around Capel Grange and we were absolutely blown away by the facility and what they do, everyone wants the best care for loved ones, so they arranged an assessment for my brother who was in the hospital, and before we knew it we were doing up a room with all his familiar bits, they put pictures up and made us feel so welcome, the receptionist introduced us to all the members of staff. My brother was transferred from the hospital into a home-from-home, I cannot praise the receptionist and all the staff enough it is unbelievable how kind, considerate, and caring they all are.

Capel Grange is an airy and spacious environment with a lovely outside garden space.
The fact that I believe every room is en suite is a bonus.
Both the care team and nursing team are exceptional.
I feel Mum is looked after well 24/7.

In Capel grange the care is second to none. There is always some kind of activity going on that everyone seems to appear to take part in. Since being there Mum has been putting on weight! The food is excellent, and they graze throughout the day.

Capel Grange is fantastic Home. The care that my mother receives is out of this world. All staff are very hard-working and friendly, and nothing is too much trouble for them. The staff at the home are amazing, and always greet you by name, which is lovely and welcoming. The staff encourage residents
to be involved in many activities that the home arranges. All the staff make this home a wonderful, safe place for my mam to live.

During my initial enquiry, the staff at Capel Grange Care Home were very helpful, professional and kind. It was a difficult decision to move my mum but they put my mind at rest, showing me around, allowing me to speak to residents and answering all my questions.
Once we were ready to go ahead, they
allowed us to decorate her room so that it looked more like home and they were genuinely keen that Mum could feel that this is her home and they are there to make it as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
She has been there for six weeks and is generally just as happy as she was at home. Knowing that she is safe and well cared for has helped both her and her family to adjust to this big change in her life. The daily activities give her something to look forward to and the food is fantastic.
Nothing is too much trouble for the staff and without exception they are all kind, friendly and caring. There are very few restrictions on visitors and this is very important for Mum and her family and friends.

Really lovely staff. From reception, care staff, cleaners, whoever you speak to. They take care to know our names as well as the residents'. They cannot do enough for my mother-in-law. Convenient location. Really good nursing staff, very experienced, who understand the issues of old age and the need

Nan was transferred here from a different home almost two years ago and I am so happy that she was, the staff here are amazing, they are always very welcoming when I visit and they treat my nan with the utmost respect. I am kept up to date with everything that is going on with her care which is very
important to us.
I love that there is often an event for the residents to which the families are invited to attend, I have had a lovely time at some of them, the most recent one that I could get to was a lovely afternoon with singers and snacks. It was fantastic being able to enjoy that with Nan. We are looking forward to the next one.
All in all, my mind is at rest knowing that, when I cannot be there for her, my nan is safe and well looked after by people who genuinely care.

Mum became a resident at Capel Grange Care Home in October 2022. All the staff have been amazing! Caring, compassionate and very professional. Mum has settled in so well and she is really coming out of her shell, enjoying the activities etc. The standard of care received is excellent and, as a family,
we have peace of mind that Mum is happy, safe and cared for. Thanks to all the team.

After a period of ill health, we started looking for a nursing home for Mum. Capel Grange Care Home came highly recommended and most of those comments came before we even mentioned the name.
Mum moved in and was a little hesitant in her new surroundings…that didn’t last long! Mum is now socialising
and is even on their residents' committee!
The premises are amazing; super clean, tidy, homely; with no echos of a hospital. It’s bright and cheery and the ‘Capel Grange caring family’ are like no other. Like a well-oiled machine, they are on-hand to support, advise and care - we 100% know Mum is in the very best of hands. All the staff have a knack for attending to things before they are needed, like thinking of a blanket for Mum's legs in her wheelchair, just in case it got a bit chilly when we went into the garden in the early evening…this obviously wasn’t whilst the heatwaves were in full force!
If you are looking for the best, I couldn’t recommend better than Capel Grange.

My father has recently moved into Capel Grange Care Home. He has quite severe dementia but all the staff at Capel Grange have been brilliant with him from day one. All the staff clearly take pride in their work, but it is their desire to do their best for Dad that is most impressive. No matter how difficult
or challenging the circumstances may be, the staff at Capel Grange go the extra mile to try and make Dad as comfortable as possible. The staff clearly understand dementia and how it can affect Dad differently during the course of a day (noting that no two days are the same) and they adjust their care accordingly. Fantastic.
It is heartbreaking to see our dad at this stage in the dementia cycle but is also comforting to know that he is being looked after as best as is possible. I cannot speak highly enough of the entire team at Capel Grange.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.579)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.579) out of 10 for Capel 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 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 10 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 4.885 for Capel Grange is calculated as follows: ( (116 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 130 Ratings = 4.885

  • 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 4.694 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Capel Grange is based on 10 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 72 registered maximum number of service users is 14.4. 10 Positive Reviews ÷ 14.4 = 0.694

  • 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.
