I do not have the words to describe the many thoughts, worries and feelings generated when relinquishing care of a loved one with dementia, into a placement outside of the home. I have visited several nursing homes when looking for the right place for my sister.
When I visited Angela Grace for the
first time, I very quickly realised I liked what I saw. Eye contact from staff and smiles. Cleaning and housekeeping in operation. A light and welcoming space. The staff were busy and organised. The residents were clean and dressed well. The layout of the accommodation is not too big, giving a cosy feel, more homely. I had time to talk to staff, a nurse and the manager. I had many questions and the answers given were reassuring. I felt in my heart I had found the right place.
Two months have passed since my sister moved here. I can not thank the care staff, entertainment team, nurses and manager enough for the time and care taken to help her settle well and have the support she needs.

My wife has been at The Angela Grace for 2 years + and has had great care. The whole team work as one. They all help each other. They’re friendly and welcoming, well-trained and well-managed. In fact, all aspects of the home are well managed. There are regular Relatives Meetings to keep you updated.
Management is always ready to answer questions. There’s a good atmosphere in the home. All residents are treated with patience, respect and compassion. The nurses and carers have a real connection with their residents. The home is always spotlessly clean and well-maintained. There are varied daily activities arranged by a dedicated activities team. Some are group-based and others are 1:1. Meals and snacks are well-prepared & nutritious. Medication is well managed. There’s always enough qualified nurses on duty. They give regular updates to relatives and have regular contact with the impressive local medical practice. I am very pleased my wife is being cared for at The Angela Grace.

I cannot thank the team at the Angela Grace Care Home enough for the care they provided my mum in her final days and the support they gave me. My mum had been at 2 previous care homes before moving into the Angela Grace and the care and facilities at the Angela Grace were head and shoulders over the
rest. I would highly recommend it.

Reply from Lacramioara Toma, Administrator at The Angela Grace Care Centre

We are truly grateful for your heartfelt appreciation. Knowing that we had offered compassionate care to your mother and provided her with support during her final days fills us with gratitude. Your recommendation means a lot to us and we are privileged for the opportunity to have cared for her at Angela Grace.

My mum spent just over a week at The Angela Grace Care Centre to receive end-of-life care. We cannot thank all at the care centre who took care of Mum and us. Every single person we come into contact with carried out Mum's care with compassion and professionalism. The atmosphere in The Angela Grace
Care Centre is something to behold with friendliness and teamwork is evident from day 1. When Mum passed they took care of us and supported us at a difficult time.

I find the staff helpful and respectful. Nothing is too much trouble. The facility is very clean and well-managed. We have been very impressed, more to the point the resident has told us how well he's been treated and cared for. Thank you all.

My wife arrived at The Angela Grace in July 2021, suffering with dementia and presenting in a loud/agitated state. The medical staff have been so proactive in trying to reduce my wife's agitation, and all of the care staff handled my wife's challenging behaviour in a professional, and more importantly,
caring manner. Everyone to a man has made my wife's stay as comfortable as possible, and my visits, although hard for obvious reasons, are made far more palatable because of the welcome I am given.

My mother is receiving end-of-life care at The Angela Grace care centre, which I am very satisfied with and which gives me peace of mind between my visits. I know she is receiving the best care and she feels happy and safe and I feel supported too. The staff are professional and friendly and relate
well to residents. The home is well managed and operates in an efficient, covid-secure way, whilst retaining a welcoming and friendly atmosphere.

My wife moved to Angela Grace care centre in late May 2021 from hospital. She had had a major stroke in January and several other conditions have kept back recovery progress. She cannot move herself at all and can only use her left arm, so feeds herself if food is ready chopped. Everything has to be
done by staff and she is wonderfully cared for - washing, moving from bed to armchair, using a hoist, adjusting her comfort position in bed, they do it all, always encouraging her. I'm welcomed every day for three hours, I see it all and am very pleased. Thank you.

I find the Angela Grace care home is a very friendly and caring home. My wife, who is a resident, is well looked after in the environment. It is a clean and welcoming home with professional staff. I feel she is well cared for and communication with me is good. Covid restrictions have been strictly adhered
to and in a professional way. Such as assisting with covid tests, providing PPE etc. There are restrictions but they are there for the well being of the residents and are professionally handled. I would recommend this care home.

My husband is in the late stages of Alzheimer's disease and came to Angela Grace in July 2020. He has always been treated with dignity and respect and the care he has received has been excellent. The result of that is that he has remained calm. As a family, we also have been supported well with easy
access to management and staff if we have questions or concerns and excellent communication of information. An amazing team.

My mother was in The Angela Grace for ten weeks after a fall at home, unfortunately, due to funding, we had to move her. While she was there, she was looked after by the staff as if she was their own Mother, we could not have been happier. We couldn’t go inside due to Covid restrictions, but we did
have some conservatory visits, she was always happy and kept on saying that the staff look after her very well. I would like to thank all of the staff for keeping us well informed of every aspect of her care and for making her stay with them a safe and happy one and for making our decision to have her cared for an easier one. Would recommend to everyone. Once again, thank you all. I have put satisfactory on the amenities that I cannot comment on having never been inside.

Reply from Jenni Ly, Marketing Manager at The Angela Grace Care Centre

My mother spent two weeks in the care home before going back to her home for a few months, she was then admitted to hospital and then in need of a care home, while the authorities were sorting this out. I never expected for her to be allocated a bed in Angela Grace care home, if I could have picked
one then this would have been the one. She spent almost a year here and was looked after superbly well, the staff were exceptional even in the face of some of her "outbursts", so good luck and thank you very much; you are wonderful people.

Reply from Jenni Ly, Marketing Manager at The Angela Grace Care Centre

Wow, thank you so so much for your kind and encouraging words. It was an honour to have had the opportunity to look after your mum and we're glad to hear that you were happy with the care she received. It's been so lovely to get to know you during the process. We hope you are well. Take care, from all of us at The Angela Grace.

Mum spent the last 12 months of her life here at the end of a difficult journey with dementia. The staff were all extremely competent friendly and helpful. They really took a shine to mum and did their best for her. They always keep me informed of developments with mum and notified me of any changes.
Mum was given opportunities to join in activities and received a lot of attention from the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.944)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.944) out of 10 for The Angela Grace Care Centre 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 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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 4.944 for The Angela Grace Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (320 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 337 Ratings = 4.944

  • 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 The Angela Grace Care Centre is based on 29 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 78 registered maximum number of service users is 15.6, which has been reached with 29 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.
