My husband has been at Grand View since April 2024 but this review is for his last month there. End-of-life care is different for everyone but the support and care from the nursing team and management at Grand View Care Home for my husband and myself was amazing. Thank you all.

Following a few years of hospital and care home stays which had been stressful experiences, my husband moved to Grand View, where he was a resident for the last 3 months of his life. The whole staff team made it a peaceful, happy friendly experience for both him and his family. The care could not have
been better and he felt safe and cared for. As a family, we could not have asked for more in the way that we were also treated. The nursing, care and management teams went above and beyond in all areas. I cannot thank them enough.

Reply from Yvonne Allison, Operations Director at Grand View Care Home

Thank you very much for your kind words and taking the time to write a review. It really means a lot to us and our staff who I will be sure to pass the positive feedback on to.

If you need nursing care stay away from this home.
Lots of management changes over the last five years tells a poor story. We had issues with bank nurses. We had multiple events of incorrect meds. We had multiple issues of late delivery of time critical meds leading to multiple visits to hospital who
raised safeguarding issues.
In the end the home said my daughter was too complex (read trouble) so was not allowed to stay.

Reply from Yvonne Allison, Operations Director at Grand View Care Home

I would definitely not recommend for terminal cancer palliative care on any level. The food was terrible and overcooked. Everything is slow all around. Mum didn't feel listened to. Management was appalling. Reported to CQC. The staff was nice and smiley.

Our dear mum became a resident of Grand View around 6 weeks ago - the hardest decision of our life but one that we had to make. My sister and I turned up unannounced for a viewing and we were warmly welcomed and shown around. Compared to other care homes in the area there was no contest. The Grand View
team from top to bottom really do care about the resident and the family. We have needed lots of support as a family as we get to grips with other people doing the job that we really want to do ourselves. Everybody from the manager (with an open door policy), the management team, to the wonderful carers and more are clearly all recruited for being good eggs and nice caring cheerful people. This is a tough industry where families are demanding and residents more so. If there are problems or difficulties the Grand View team will deal with them professionally and compassionately. My sister and I thank them all for helping us through the toughest time of our life. Keep up the good work.

Reply from Laura Mills, Group Customer Relations Manager at Grand View Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind review and well-deserved praise of an amazing team. We are here for you all as a family and so glad we can work together to ensure the care of your treasured mum goes well.

My daughter spent 10 days in this residential care home when she was recovering from a hip operation. The home is particularly spotlessly clean. Friendly cheerful staff at all levels. Every task dealt with expeditiously and efficiently.

My father spent two weeks in Grand View Care Home after a serious bout of pneumonia, which was treated in hospital. He wasn't strong enough to go home directly from the hospital, so Grand View was the perfect solution. The staff were so friendly and kind towards my father, and although he was keen to
get home, Grand View was the next best place.

Reply from Laura Mills, Group Customer Relations Manager at Grand View Care Home

Everyone at Grand View strives to offer a home-from-home experience delivering support to the whole family. We're so glad your dad returned home well and strong.

The staff and Grand View are simply wonderful: they all wear a smile on their face, making for a wonderfully positive atmosphere. The managers' doors are always open, the reception staff welcoming and efficient and nothing was ever too much for any of the staff. The quality of the building and its contents
are clear to see, but the lovely, caring nature of the staff is really special. Thank you Grand View Care Home.

Right from day one, I knew Mum would have the best care. Yes, Grand View is absolutely stunning, spotless, modern etc., but for me it's all about the care, support and activities. This meets everything needed for my mum. The manager is very approachable, which helps enormously. It's very hard entrusting
the care of a loved one to someone else, but staff have become friends and I have full peace of mind my mum's happy.

Reply from Hannah Woodcock, Home Manager at Grand View Care Home

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We at Grand View do our best to provide person-centred care to all our residents in a lovely environment and it is very pleasing to hear that our efforts are appreciated. Thanks again. We look forward to seeing you soon. Kind regards.

We had an awful experience recently with Grand View. My father was booked in for a week's respite, he has dementia but his symptoms are mild. We specifically said he wouldn’t cope with extreme noise, people screaming. He is used to a very quiet and calm environment. On the day of checking him in were
informed that they had a new admission who was screaming 24/7. After being shown his room I knew he wouldn’t cope. The lady at reception very kindly found him an alternative room and this was definitely more suitable for his needs, after spending 5 hours at Grand View trying to settle my father the manager insisted he have the room upstairs or not at all. (She wasn’t even at the home on that day, I had to speak to her on the phone). Her reasoning became very clear that she hadn’t listened to a word she had been told. I had to take my father home to my mum who desperately needed a break due to her own issues with anxiety and exhaustion. This whole experience was very distressing.

On visiting my grandmother for the first time, the reception was bright and very welcoming. Everywhere was clean including Nan's bedroom which was absolutely spotless and the staff were polite and friendly. I was there for meal time, where there were lots of options to choose from with mains and desserts.
Overall,
couldn’t fault anything on the day of visiting.

My friend came for respite care. She had a fantastic experience and the staff were very welcoming. They encouraged her to become independent when she was ready to go home. We enjoyed the bistro with the fresh cake each day. I would highly recommend Grand View Care Home for respite or permanent care.

I visited my uncle after a long time. I was very surprised at how welcoming the staff were. The home was amazing and had a feel of luxury about it. Not what I was expecting of a care home.
My uncle was very well looked after. He was eating and enjoying his meal. We were offered a meal and drinks.
His
room was personalised and clean. He was going to play dominoes and watch a movie in the afternoon.

My mother entered Grand View in August 2022. The house manager was informative and welcoming. We were delighted and felt it was important that she was able to furnish her room with her own things. Her time spent at Grand View was a great success. She felt happy, safe and never lonely allowing her to
enjoy her last few months near her family. All the staff were caring, polite and respectful at all times. Having the Bistro area for patients and visitors alike was a brilliant facility to use. I would recommend Grand View to all.

Current Review Score: 8.9 (8.900)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.9 (8.900) out of 10 for Grand View Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.2 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.7 out of 5 from 11 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 4.212 for Grand View Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (22 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (18 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 165 Ratings = 4.212

  • 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 4.688 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Grand View Care Home is based on 11 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 80 registered maximum number of service users is 16. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 16 = 0.688

  • 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.
