Overall Experience

The staff at Washington Care Home are exemplary in the care they give to their residents.
My sister-in-law passed away on 15th July after 5 1/2 yrs in their care. Could not have asked for better care. They were by her side until the end. Thank you all. My brother is also in the same home receiving

all the care and attention he needs as my sister-in-law did. I visit every week. He is always clean and well dressed. He loves to flurt with the girls! It makes his day! Thank you for all you do for him. xx

Overall Experience

The staff are very professional, helpful,polite,nothing is too much trouble for them. Bedewell Grange is immaculate in all areas. The food always smells delicious with the menu on display showing a great variety of choice. The activities are well thought through from ever popular bingo to craft, gardening,

cooking etc. not to forget the entertainment.
Bedewell Grange is very safe and secure. My sister has been a resident for 15 months, she is very well looked after. I would recommend Bedewell Grange to anyone considering a care home, it is a difficult decision to make but the staff at Bedewell made the transition seamless and took the pressure from the family. Thank you for making a happy place for the residents

Throughout the month of June 2025 staff conducted themselves professionally and with a great attitude during a difficult time with my mother and events that unfolded. I have full confidence and trust that the staff will deal appropriately and in the best interest of my mother especially when I am unavailable.

Overall Experience

My mother in law is settling so well in Harton Grange. She has been in just over two weeks now. The staff are always professional, happy and easy to talk too. My mother in law talks well with how happy she is in the home. She now has the company that she craved. She also says how much the food is aways

lovely. As a family we are happy!
I can only judge on my very short and limted experience of the home so far. I have left some ratings blank as I've had no experience so far, being the daughter in law.

First time I came she was asleep but people we left her with were taking and cheerful, even cuddled me before I left. Home looks lovely, tidy, nice and clean. Staff are so friendly and made us welcome. She was asleep at first but woke up and we got on great, first time for a long time. Second visit

she was so different, much more talkative.

Overall Experience

I first visited Washington Grange to 'suss' it out, a couple of months ago. All staff took time to show me around and explain everything. During that visit I knew it was the right place for my step-mum to be. Now that she is here, the whole family is very happy with everything at the Grange. Very friendly

and caring staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Great attention to every detail and people treated as individuals.

As it's my father's 100th birthday, the home has taken great strides in the care of my father and other residents. The time he's been at the home he has had the best attention possible, and care from the staff who in my opinion are fantastic.

Overall Experience

I am writing this on behalf of my husband, who has dementia, and I am his wife and carer. I booked my husband for respite care at Appletree Grange while I was in hospital. This was his second visit. I cannot fault the manager & staff at Appletree who went out of their way to welcome my husband and make

him feel comfortable. He wasn't settling very well, and the staff showed care and compassion for which I was very grateful. I asked him if he liked the home, and he said the staff and food were lovely, but he didn't like his bed.

I would like to start by saying the staff are amazing with the very challenging job they do every day. The home has a new manager who is doing a very good job. The home is being refurbished which was in great need. The staff keep me informed of things I need to no about my mams care and her needs. They

do lots of activities with the clients fun stuff on top of everything else they do.

Thank you to everyone at Appletree for all you do

Overall Experience

I would highly recommend Bedewell Grange Care Home, our mam has dementia and has recently moved to the care home as a permanent resident. The residence is beautifully decorated and presented, it is spotlessly clean, mam has a lovely room with her own bathroom. Residents are encouraged to personalise

the rooms with photos and other belongings.
The staff are so friendly and the care they provide is exceptional, the food is lovely and mam is really enjoying this, in addition to meals the residents (and visitors) are provided with regular hot drinks and treats. There are regular activities, mam recently attended the VE Day celebration. There is also a salon providing hair, nail etc treatments the salon is open one day a week, mam has loved having her hair and nails done.
Mam feels safe, secure and familiar here and has made a couple of friends. My sister, brother & I are so happy that we chose Bedewell Grange for mam.
