After an initial settling-in period mum has adjusted exceptionally well to living at Pine Martin Grange. She has really blossomed under the care of the wonderfully kind staff, everyone smiles and knows her name and asks how she is and this has resulted in mum approaching her whole day with a smile and
positive attitude. She enjoys and participates in all the activities and has made some great friends amongst the other residents. My siblings and I had been doing everything possible to keep her happy and healthy in her own home but this was proving to be impossible. The level of care offered by Pine is much more suited to her well being and the social interaction is unparalleled and so beneficial. We can therefore rest easy knowing she is safe, happy and well looked after.

On a day to day basis I feel that my mum receives excellent care. It has been important for her to get to know staff and residents alike and this over a period of time has happened. The day care staff are particularly excellent, as are the activities and trips out. She is less happy about the night
staff, who she feels are often rushed as they go on/off duty.

Reply from Maggie Griffith, Group Client Liaison Manager at Pine Martin Grange Care Home

Thank you for your review, I am pleased you feel the care your mum receives at Pine Martin Grange is excellent and that the activities and trips out are too. Feedback from our families is extremely important, as it ensures we continue to provide the very best care and services for our residents. I wonder if you could kindly contact our Home Director when convenient, to discuss any worries you may have regarding the handover period during a shift change. Thank you once again for taking the time to review Pine Martin Grange, our families views are extremely important to us.

My father has been at PMG for more than 4 years and our family are very happy with all aspects of his care. The staff are very caring, capable and well trained. His room and clothes are always clean and well maintained. The activities staff provide stimulating and varied activities and the meals are
excellent, I couldn't imagine a home that would meet his needs any better, thank you.

My husband needed urgent respite care after a long stay in hospital. The management team at Dormy Care found him a room at Pine Martin Grange, and within a few days he was there, it was amazing! From the first day, my husband completely felt at home. The facilities are like being in a five-star hotel,
the food is excellent. My husband has a rare neurological condition and within a couple of days, all the staff had been trained to understand his needs. We were very impressed with the knowledge of the nursing staff. All the staff are just lovely, caring and supportive. He really enjoyed the physio sessions that he had twice a week in the gym. He even had a trip to the beach for ice cream. Thank you all at Pine Martin Grange.

My Aunt was at Pine Marten for what turned out to be a brief stay. On the day that she was admitted, I came away wishing that we had made the arrangements sooner. That impression only increased over the time that she was there. I live 160 miles from the home and they phoned me at home to update me on
her progress. When I came back a week later I ended up staying for over 24 hours and I was made to feel so welcome and cared for and I was only a visitor! I really do wish that my aunt had been better able to experience/be aware of the care at Pine Marten for a lot longer. I sat in my aunt's room for a lot of that 24 hours and the frequency of visits by care assistants and nurses and, almost as importantly, their attitude, was excellent. If I had other relatives locally in need of care then I would put Pine Marten top of a list of ones that I would look at to recommend/arrange.

There is no doubt that this home has all the bells and whistles of a newly appointed care home. However, the needs for dementia patients were sadly lacking. My father was in the home for approximately six months. As a family we were repeatedly going in and having to clear up after my Dad's mishaps;
from literally wiping excrement walked across the carpet, to regularly cleaning his bathroom, to getting him in a shower. He got a nasty eye infection from repeatedly rubbing his eye with dirty fingernails.
Admittedly my father was not the easiest of patients. As a result, he was drugged up to the eyeballs to keep him quiet. Since moving him to a different home we have been able to take him off this medication and he is much happier and calmer. In conclusion, I would say that choose carefully if your loved one is in need of a lot of care. This home will leave too many of their patients unattended for too long. I'm assuming much of it is due to too high a patient ratio to staff numbers.

Reply from Helen Lacey, Home Director at Pine Martin Grange Care Home

I am so sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the service we provided to your father during his stay with us. During the initial time following his admission, we were more than able to meet his needs and he was happy and settled. As time progressed, we did our very best to support his escalating behaviours but it became very clear after an incident that this was not going to be possible in the longer term. We communicated our concerns and actions to your mother who was a frequent visitor and aware of the issues we were dealing with, including his refusal to accept personal care/continence management. We also involved the Community Mental Health team and his own GP at all stages and they advised us on medication and support. Our staffing levels are determined according to the assessed needs of those living in the home and never fall below this. Your father received one to one care for a considerable period of time until a suitable specialist home could be found.

Find it a little disconcerting that residents can enter each other's rooms when doors are closed.

The management and staff at Pine Martin Grange made great efforts to help my mother settle in when she moved in as a permanent resident after the painful decision to leave her home of 35 years. The food, surroundings and facilities are exemplary. It was a difficult journey for Mum as she's suffered

My aunt seems happy with the care she is receiving. When I’m there the staff are very caring and treat her with respect as an individual. However, I do feel that the floor my aunt is on is understaffed. There have been two occasions when her hearing aids weren’t in. It makes such a difference if she
can hear better. Also her dental plate with several teeth on it was lost. She would never remove it herself in the day which leads me to believe it wasn’t put away properly at night.
