My nan has been resident of this care home for close to 3 years. She is bed bound due to disable and having serious dementia. The care home are all contacting my family with any issues that my nan may have.
She's is very well looked after from friend staff from day interaction at meal times to bathing.
Staff are really friendly with the family from the lady at the sign in desk to the nurses looking after the residents and my nan clearly loves being in the care home. I really cannot rate this care home enough.

The staff are second to none. Always kind, helpful, understanding and endlessly patient. When entering the nursing home it is clean and fragrant but sometimes there is an odour in the corridors and I think a room spray in the corridors may be a help. My mother is self-funding and it's frighteningly
expensive.

The manager manages the home very professionally. The head of nursing and the whole team across the services were amazing and everyone showed great compassion. We were worried about choosing the right home and this one shone out above all others. Many of the residents' relatives feel the same way as
all of the staff are friendly, caring and nothing is too much trouble.

My mother moved into Cheshire Grange in July 2023 following a fall. The care that she has received in the last 12 months has been outstanding. The staff and management are so nice and caring with her. She has a lovely, spacious room overlooking the garden, and she enjoys being at Cheshire Grange. The
food and drink on offer are excellent, and there are many activities for her to be involved in.

My mum came to Cheshire Grange having spent eight weeks in hospital. Mum never mentions going home as this is her home. She is comfortable and content. The design of the building is superb, with easy access doors, a welcoming area in the cafe, wide corridors, a relaxing lounge and a garden to reflect
upon your visit. The staff here are truly amazing, friendly, compassionate and joyful. Mum is exceptionally well cared for, with attention to her every need. I always look forward to visiting my mum, and whatever the future brings, I feel totally supported.

Excellent throughout, although more care/training is required concerning recharging and use of hearing aids. Two have been "lost" over the last 9 months or so and at £1800.00 each this is no small consideration.

My sister has been in the brilliant care of the staff at Cheshire Grange for approximately six years. She has a neurological condition and has difficulty communicating with her carers and the medical staff. Despite this, the staff have been superb in ensuring that she enjoys the best possible care and
that her needs are constantly monitored, assessed and immediately dealt with. I cannot praise the staff too highly and the facilities are second to none. A massive thank you to the manager and all her brilliant staff at Cheshire Grange.

My dad changed homes after being in another home and neglected. He ended up in hospital for 3.5 weeks. I went to look at Cheshire Grange and before viewing upstairs I knew this home was the most amazing home for Dad. The staff are just family all working so closely together for the best care for each
and every resident. Unfortunately, Dad passed away after 10 days. The care, love, empathy and total dedication of every member of the staff were truly amazing. We cannot praise everyone enough for all they have done. Thank you will never be enough.

I wish to pay tribute to all the staff who cared for my dad with such dignity and respect in the last months of his life
Everyone involved was so kind and caring and made me very welcome when visiting.
The decision to transfer a loved one to the care of others is very difficult but it was the right
one as I was able to spend more quality time with Dad in his last months.

Where do I begin and how do I ever thank you for making the decision to take Mum into your care at Cheshire Grange? As you know, since her head injury she had terrible experiences and never settled and seemed to constantly be in mental and physical pain. It was very traumatic at times for me to watch.
When she came out of Warrington Hospital into the warmth of Cheshire Grange and the brilliant, brilliant nurses, carers, housekeepers, chefs and the lovely lady on reception (I hope I haven't missed anybody!) I knew that Mum was in safe, caring hands. To one member of staff, in particular, I will never ever forget your face, voice, hugs and kindness. You were my rock I could turn to. Without your reassurance and keeping me updated, I would be a far sadder person than I am today. The comfort we have is that Mum passed away in the most beautiful, calm, professional caring home. Thank you to everybody at Cheshire Grange, you are family to us.

I love that Cheshire Grange is a purpose-built care home that can cater for all my mum's needs. The staff are lovely; a lot are the same staff from when Mum first arrived five years ago, so it feels like a second home. I wish there was a bit more happening on Bridgewater, although I can appreciate entertainment
can be difficult. It was a shame there were no decorations for Cheshire Grange's 10th birthday, for instance. The flowers on the balcony this year are a nice touch. Overall, it's a lovely care home, and I'm glad that Mum lives there and is well looked after by the lovely staff and nurses.

My 92-year-old mum has been in Cheshire Grange for four years and has received excellent care throughout. During the pandemic when visiting was not allowed the staff kept me updated on everything that was happening and how well she was coping. This was very reassuring as it was a difficult time for
everyone concerned. The staff are cheerful and this has a positive effect on the residents and relatives,
Although mum"s memory is deteriorating the care and attention she receives is excellent and the carers encourage her to remember her time at Cheshire Grange with much laughter and encouragement. She has been very happy. Recently mum has been in and out of hospital but the staff have always included me in any decisions which had to be made. Everyone works together in teams to make the home run smoothly

I like the way that the Staff involve the resident about their care and discuss things to get the best solutions to suit the situation.
The atmosphere when I visit is peaceful, happy

The overall quality of the care is exceptional.

My 92 yr old mother who has dementia and is registered blind has been a resident at Cheshire Grange since March 2020. The care she has received is exemplary and we are more than happy with the home. In particular, the standard of care and the dedication of all the staff is superb. I have been touched
to see how skilfully the staff helped both my mother and me acclimatise to the massive change of moving from her home for 50 years into residential care. This happened at the start of the pandemic, which brought immense challenges to the staff - they have risen to those challenges admirably and always with a cheery disposition. I would heartily recommend Cheshire Grange to anyone looking for residential care for their loved ones.

My mum is in the Cheshire Grange in Lymm. I am so impressed with all the staff there. I live in Newbury so I am not close, but the staff involve me in everything that is going on with my mum. I get a FaceTime with her normally twice a week. I also am able to speak to the nurse when I phone. Where my
mum is, l can’t praise the home and staff enough. My mum is mostly bedridden. It took a while to get her pain under control, it was the first time they had come across this but they should have said earlier that my mum has got Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s and she has Osteoporosis. She is a fantastic mum and we the family no she is being looked after so well, we couldn’t wish for anything else a doctor in and he finally got it sorted. My Dad and my sisters are allowed in now. My mum definitely knows who my Dad is. When he visits she just holds his hand all the time.

It is difficult both to find fault with any aspect of care that my wife receives, but also to single out staff members for special praise as in my experience they are all to a person cheerful, helpful and caring individuals. Like most residents, my wife has certain special needs and these are met by
the staff competently and efficiently. She feels very safe and looked after in Cheshire Grange. The manager leads and motivates a great team and they combine safety with compassion. The atmosphere in the home is always friendly and positive. We have particularly appreciated the outside spaces and gardens during and after lockdowns.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.949)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.949) out of 10 for Barchester Cheshire Grange Care Home 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 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 12 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 4.949 for Barchester Cheshire Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (133 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 138 Ratings = 4.949

  • 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 Cheshire Grange Care Home is based on 12 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 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 12 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.

Dawn Holsgrove-Smith

Job Title: General Manager

Welcome to Cheshire Grange Care Home; my name is Dawn and I am the General Manager here.


I have been working within the care sector for the past 15 years, I started my career as a support worker supporting adults with learning disabilities, and later I was promoted to team coordinator, after I was promoted to Head of service managing 3 services. Due to my own personal circumstances, I developed a real interest and passion for improving dementia care, this led to my transition into older people's care first as a deputy manager, and then finally as a registered manager.


I then went on to become a qualified person-centred dementia care trainer and was fortunate enough to be trained by Teepa Snow, who is one of the leading educators on dementia and the care that accompanies it.


Throughout my 15 years of experience that spanned across different providers, I have acquired tremendous knowledge and understanding of the care sector, and I have gained valuable insight into both the challenges and the rewards of delivering high standards of quality and person-centred care.


As the General Manager I aim to ensure that my team continue to deliver a high standard of person-centred care to our residents, placing them at the heart of everything we do. I believe in an open-door policy with everyone here at our home. Do feel free to pop in and meet our wonderful team and ask any questions that you may have, we are all more than happy to help.
