My father only spent a couple of months here on end-of-life care until he sadly passed. The care he received at The Grand was respectful, kind, caring and professional. Through my frequent visits I got to know the team who supported him. The home manager has managed to hire some of the loveliest people
I have ever met. Each time I left after visiting I felt confident and reassured that I had secured him a place in a good care home. It relieved a lot of the anxieties and guilt I felt about the entire situation. My father passed peacefully in early February but I will be forever grateful to the nurses/carers who made his transition from this world to the next an easy one. God bless you all.

I can not recommend The Grand Care Home in West Bridgford Nottingham enough. My Father was fast-tracked out of hospital in May 2024. It was a traumatic period and to place your relative in any care home is a massive step the pressure to get it right is immense. Having visited quite a few and being horrified
at what we saw, the visit to The Grand was amazing within a 1 minute of entering I already had a good feeling and after being shown around the choice was easy to make. The staff are fantastic and went above and beyond in the care and friendly ship they gave to my Father. Every member of staff was superb you could not wish for better. The building is kept to the highest standard. I have no hesitation in recommending The Grand to anyone who needs to find a care home for a member of their family. Thank you all at The Grand for the care you gave my Dad in his last days.

After making the decision to move mum to The Grand Care Centre, we received ongoing support from the time we visited through to the day of the move.
Move day could have been challenging for mum and potentially disorientating but from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a lovely warm welcome
from reception and encouraged to take our time to let mum adjust.
There is no cure for dementia but the positive change we have seen since mum has been at The Grand is remarkable. This transformation is undoubtedly a testament to the care and attention she receives from staff across the whole of the care home, as well as the open, clean and welcoming physical environment. We've seen glimpses of mum we thought we had lost forever.
The care has been personalised to ensure mum can feel at ease and safe. She looks healthier and her demeanor has improved more than we could ever have hoped for. Seeing mum happy and relaxed allows us to feel at ease, knowing she is in safe and caring hands.

Firstly there are some very caring staff there but also staff who are not so caring. The main problem is lack of staff which leads to problems. 1) Not answering the alarm bell swiftly. 2) My father had 2 showers in 10 months, he's now showered daily at new care home. 3) We had to get the physio to push
for Dad to use a commode, staff left him to wee in a pad, he was not incontinent - he now uses a bottle and normal toilet.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for the care home. We do take feedback seriously and I have had the opportunity to look into your concerns using the data held in the home. I am happy to go through the findings to share factual data with you and aim to give you some reassurance in conjunction with your comments. Our aim is always to deliver a high standard of care in the service and I am sorry you felt this was not your experience through your Father's stay. Kind Regards

I can't speak highly enough of The Grand. The standard of care, the activities, the food and the facilities are excellent. Most of all it was the genuine sense of being welcome and cared for as part of a family which my mum and I valued the most.

My father stayed 2 weeks for respite. I cannot praise the helpfulness and professionalness of the staff and managers both to my father and to us when we visit. The bedroom and bathroom were clean, modern and comfortable. A choice of good meals and snacks were available and there were regular activities
going on throughout his stay. The staff were understanding of my father's dementia, and able to patiently reassure him of where he was, and any other concerns he had. They also looked after his medicine and hygiene care very well. Highly recommended from initial planning, through to end of stay. And the building and floors were very secure too.

My father-in-law went into the home for respite care for 2 weeks, I would like to thank all of the staff at The Grand for all of the care and attention they have shown my father-in-law, this has had a profoundly positive effect on his health and general wellbeing. I know for sure he has enjoyed all
of the fun and varied activities available. My sincerest thanks to all.

My mum was admitted back in 2017 and is still there to the present day.
As I live in London I was worried about Mum's care, I didn’t have to.
Since day one Mum's care and well-being have been the homes priority.
All the staff are so lovely and kind and see to mums every need.
I have a video call
with Mum every Friday without fail and she is always so happy.
I couldn’t wish for a better place for Mum to be than here.
Also the activities and she looks forward to the days out and lifts her spirits.

High standards of care are provided to my nan at all times, ensuring she is happy. Nothing is ever a problem for staff, my nan has settled and come on so much since being in The Grand. Couldn’t recommend highly enough, staff and management provide support to both service users and their families to
the highest of standards whenever and wherever required.

This care home and all its staff have a very special place in my heart. My father was a resident on the dementia floor for the past 8 years. Everyone who looked after dad and I dealt with were outstanding. The level of care was excellent and the love and thoughtfulness in his last days was lovely. This
is a special place.

Our mother was admitted to The Grand Care Centre after a stay in hospital following a fall. We have been extremely pleased with her care. All members of staff who have been involved with her have been excellent, showing kindness and professionalism. They reacted promptly to her medical needs and we
were always consulted if a change was necessary. Mum was treated with dignity and compassion at the end of her life.

My father was a resident at The Grand Care Centre after being discharged from hospital. He was made to feel welcome immediately. The team made him feel comfortable and encouraged him to take part in activities which he enjoyed.
The care overall, for the few months that he was in there was outstanding.
The team communicated to me what they were doing for him and was transparent with any concerns.
They were responsive in making sure he attended all hospital appointments and was on the ball with medicine and care need changes.
I appreciate everything they did for him and recommend The Grand as an amazing care facility.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.888)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.888) out of 10 for The Grand 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 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 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 4.888 for The Grand Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (3 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) + (5 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 250 Ratings = 4.888

  • 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 Grand Care Centre is based on 20 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 82 registered maximum number of service users is 16.4, which has been reached with 20 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.

Tracy Johnston

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2020

I am a qualified nurse and trained at the University of Central Lancashire, qualifying in 1999. Totalling 30 years of care/nursing experience my passion lies with care homes and I have extensive management experience as a home manager including troubleshooting, care home turnaround and Regional management. These areas have given me a wealth of knowledge and decided to come back into the daily running of the care home after being out and about travelling many miles. I am proud to be part of the team here at The Grand and to work for New Care working towards its vision. My team and I are dedicated to making each day different and special for residents.


The care we deliver is person-centred, ensuring that individual needs and requirements are met. It is important to us that residents retain as much independence as possible with support to continue pursuing the interests and hobbies they have always enjoyed.


Personal hobbies and interests include family, Horse riding and my three West Highland Terriers Dave, Dottie & Alfie, A family unit themselves – you may see them in the home occasionally.

Job Title: Deputy Manager

Joined: 2018

I have worked at New Care for 4 years and enjoyed my time at Ruddington Manor but transferred to The Grand for a new challenge a year ago. I enjoy my job as Care Manager and now ecstatic to be successful in my new role as the Deputy Manager. I am able to have autonomy in my role which help me thrive and feel satisfied in my role. It's ‘Grand at the Grand’ as we say and New Care look after their staff members really well with excellent opportunities for promotions, I can vouch for that. Every day is a different day and I love that we can make our residents' lives special. I love seeing them smile every day.

Bridget Peck

Job Title: Wellbeing Coordinator

Joined: 2015

I have worked for New Care for over 4 years. When I first walked into The Grand I was amazed that a care home could look like a hotel; I was lost for words. I began as a Senior Carer and then transferred to the Wellbeing Team. I was then given the opportunity to lead the Wellbeing team.
New Care is a very family orientated and person centred company; nothing is too much trouble to meet the resident’s needs and wishes.
I look forward to coming to work each day, and I can’t believe I get paid to do a job that I love!


Ellen

Ellen Robinson

Job Title: Home Trainer

Having worked for New Care for 7 years I feel that from the very beginning I knew I had made the right decision to become an employee at New Care. As New Care have in-house trainers in all of their homes this is a great advantage to the care industry as there are always opportunities for all staff members to learn new things and career development within the home gaining support and guidance from the manager and home trainer. I aim to provide top-quality training to all staff, by doing this allows staff to provide top-quality care to the residents.
