Care Homes Owned by Forest Healthcare in Oxfordshire

When new management were appointed the home was much better run!

My husband was at The Grange from December 2023 to August 2026. The care was exceptional and the staff very caring, especially as he suffered from Alzheimers and could not often respond or take part in activities or express his gratitude although he tried. The place was always spotless, the activities ladies were exceptional too (coming up with wonderful ideas to entertain the residents), as were the nurses.

During my mother's stay the staff were on the whole caring and attentive. My mother was at times very difficult. The staff dealt with her in a professional way trying to reassure her. Contact with myself and sister relating to her care was good with updates on her condition/medication, etc. This was by phone or personal contact when we visited. It was plain to see investment was being put in to the upkeep of the building, with contractors in attendance on nearly every visit. In all we feel everything possible was done to make her stay comfortable and pleasant. We feel our experience was good.

Choosing The Grange Care Centre for my mum was the best choice I could have made. The home has a wonderfully calm, relaxed atmosphere, and the staff are incredibly warm, attentive, and respectful. From day one, mum felt completely welcomed. The daily activities are thoughtfully planned and perfectly balanced to keep residents engaged without overwhelming them. A huge thank you to the whole team for their support, it means the world to know mum is safe and so well cared for.

when I arrived here I was really poorly within a Week or so I started to improve. I was eating better, I started to join in the activities after a couple of weeks Also the staff and the residents made me feel welcome. The staffs are caring and I like to have a good laugh with them. The care; Making sure i'm clean, is good.

Having received excellent care at a hospice in Oxford, the care and health team decided that mum's needs would be better met at a nursing home. Having found The Grange we can honestly say they made a really good decision! Since mum has moved into The Grange, her emotional and mental health has improved considerably. She is often smiling, having a joke or a chat to the staff or residents. She has taken part in fun activities, and especially likes the food ones! Talking of food her appetite has also improved enormously. Thank you The Grange team you are amazing and all her family and friends are very grateful.

Thank you to Alex, Frankie and the entire team for the amazing work you all do. Your kindness and commitment are deeply appreciated and we are so grateful for the care you gave our dad

I love visiting my friend here. The staff are amazing, caring, friendly, always welcoming. The atmosphere is warm radiating happiness, all effort is made to keep the residents occupied and happy. Everybody is included. The care is top notch - every request is met with kindness and appropriate action. Thank you to everybody.

My time at the Grange so far has been good so far.

Mum has been a resident of The Grange for nearly 6 years & it has been the best decision in terms of her dementia care. It was a difficult decision to move her to a care home & the 1st home she was in was very poor. We had to move her during COVID & The Grange were exceptional in the help & support they gave with the transfer & the transition to new surroundings. Since then, her care has been excellent, we are always kept informed & Mum is very content, even with her health deteriorating. The nursing team are very experienced & all the care team treat Mum with respect & dignity. The Grange may not suit everyone, however it is a home rather than than a hotel & for our Mum that is what she would want. I would highly recommend visiting & speaking to all the team if you are considering care for a loved one.

I cannot praise the staff at The Grange Stanford (who have been looking after my mum for the last 8 months) enough, they are so kind, caring, compassionate, friendly making her feel safe. The food is really nice plenty of choice and good portions. They have given my husband and myself peace of mind that she is cared for so well.

All staff give their support to all residents and under some difficult situations and I mean all staff from all areas

The carers, nurses, and everyone on the floor are amazing! 5* without these people it wouldnt work so well, they all really care .

First impressions of The Grange may frankly not be the best: no plush reception area with hairdressing salon; no wide expanse of expensive carpet. Newer, bespoke care homes will often boast higher levels of facilities. However, the level of personal care that The Grange provided would be extremely hard to match. This is a nursing home where everyone cares. What was important for my aunt and me was the quality of the medical/care support she received and how she was treated. She had wanted to stay at home till the end, but after less than a week she asked me to "sell my home and let me stay here!" The carers and the nursing staff were all exceptional. Always popping a head round the door, always a cheerful word. There are qualified nurses on hand 24/7, sometimes three at a time, and they are experienced and kind. My aunt loved both the male and female carers and everyone from manager to the service staff were wonderful to deal with. I recommend The Grange for kind, professional care.

It is comfortable and well run. The staff are friendly and caring, nothing is too much trouble. I would personally recommend The Grange after living here for eighteen months.

All the staff are always extreemly friendly and helpful, they take great care of the residents, and are always quick to help sort out any issues. They always keep you well informed on problems the resident might have for health or comfort. All the staff deal with the residents with great kindness and consideration but still retaining profesionalism and high standards. (A team you can be proud of)

Very happy living here. No change.

All the staff were wonderful during her end of life care. We were so grateful to have been able to secure a room there for mums end of life care.

The kindness, professionalism and support of the whole team has meant that my uncles stay has been a wonderful experience. He has enjoyed all aspects of his stay and this has reassured us greatly as a family. I would highly recommend the Grange to others.

I have had a wonderful experience with this care home. The nurses and all staff are consistently kind, patient, and genuinely caring. They go above and beyond and are always ready to assist with any need. I highly recommend The Grange to anyone seeking compassionate care.
