It's coming up to 2 years of Mum living at Potters Grange and the care is excellent. All the staff work incredibly hard and with such kindness. Mum feels very at home and I can't thank them all enough. A wonderful place.

Cat as supervisory manager (for my mother) uses her personal knowledge and understanding to determine the appropriate (and tailored) care programme for my elderly (and disabled) parent.
The facilities are excellent and the setting feels more like a home than a care facility.

Welwyn Grange

from D P (Son of Resident) published on 23 February 2026 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After a very emotional experience at another care home, we were delighted when Welwyn Grange agreed to accept my father into their care following his discharge from hospital following a fall back in December 2024. Welwyn Grange is a stunning nursing home and feels like a beautiful hotel when inside.
My father had dementia and from the moment he arrived at Welwyn Grange they took great care of him and brought him back from a very poor state of health to the man he was before his fall. My father settled in very well and all the management, support staff and first hand carers treated him with respect and kindness. He was always encouraged to take part in the various activities and ,was shown great affection and friendship from everyone. When, as a family, we felt despair Welwyn Grange were our saviour. My father passed away in December 2025, with great dignity, in his bedroom at Welwyn Grange - just as he would have wanted. Welwyn Grange Nursing Home is just the best - thank you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our mum went to Welwyn Grange in May 2025 for respite care - whilst she was there we researched all neighbouring care homes, none came near to the standard of Welwyn Grange so in Aug 2025 mum moved in. She was welcomed immediately by all staff and residents and she could relax in her own lovely bedroom
surrounded by all her own bits and bobs or socialise in the several lounges, and we as a family felt secure in the fact that our mum was safe and well looked after. The environment is so relaxed and homely, facilities available to visiting family/friends are excellent too. We can not praise all staff - from those front of house to those well behind the scenes enough - mum had excellent care (almost too much food ;) ).
When mums time came to leave us the nurses on duty and carers were absolutely brilliant - showing mum dignity and love. Thank-you Welwyn Grange !

My wonderful step-father was sent to Welwyn Grange for end-of-life care direct from the hospital. We are so blessed that the Welwyn Grange was able to take him. While we were only there for a short time, the kind, caring staff and beautiful surroundings made his final days comfortable and as good as
they could be. We would like to thank all the staff, including the experienced nursing staff, for their attentive, gentle care, thoughtfulness and warmth. I miss going to the Grange and seeing all the staff as you were made to feel part of the extended family. Warm wishes to everyone there.

The care mum received at Welwyn Grange in the final two weeks of her life was outstanding. All the staff, whether receptionists, support workers or nurses, were always kind, considerate and respectful of mum. They also made me feel welcome at all times. I can't thank them enough for making mum comfortable
and looking after her so well.

I had a fall and could not look after myself at home, and could not find a carer. I came for a rest to help me recover. I found the room large, comfortable did restful. There are more staff about than I expected and they are friendly helpful and well trained. If I need this kind of support in the future
I shall apply here.

Our elderly friend needed respite, and she couldn't have been cared for any better! She was so nervous going in, but the staff made her feel at ease straight away.
Staff are clearly enjoying working here and us as visitors were made to feel so welcome.
On top of that, the home is beautiful.
Our
friend is now at home, but told us she'd like to come back for a cuppa and say hello to the staff, and would soon like to go back for her 'pamper holiday'.
We brought in an anxious fragile bird, but got back home a chatty confident lady who's spreading her wings!
Thank you what all of you have done, you're all amazing!

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My godmother arrived at Oakham Grange in October 2025 following respite elsewhere and the realisation she was unable to live in her own home any longer, even with support.
From the moment I spoke to Emma, the Care Pathway Manager arranging a room, to all staff supporting my godmother through a somewhat
tricky and upsetting settling in period for her, due to her condition, nothing has been too much trouble. The staff are polite, professional caring and attentive and nothing is too much trouble, including sourcing a McDonalds milkshake for breakfast!!!
Everyone is friendly from the nursing staff to the housekeeping staff and activities co-ordinator.
Staff respond quickly to emails and deal with any concerns raised at the earliest opportunity. They have kept us informed in with any issue regarding my godmother which is very reassuring.
I am a former adult and paediatric manager and have been impressed by the care and compassion staff convey to all residents.

At all times I found the support & care given very good indeed - from front of house to back of house and the invisible people in between. I cannot believe they could have done any more for my mother who was able to enjoy her remaining months in comfort and without need.
All members of staff were
capable and delivered their support in a kind, smiling, calm and professional manner -- truly invaluable.

In our experience, Oakham Grange provides excellent care. We greatly appreciate their flexibility and understanding as my aunt undergoes a difficult transition towards relinquishing her independence. The environment in the home is warm, clean and comfortable with good provision for both privacy and
community. The staff are friendly and compassionate and appear to genuinely enjoy their work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The Grange was amazing from start to finish. We had tried 5 care homes which all either rejected us or we rejected them.
The grange did not turn us away but worked with us to help our father find the right home for him. To do this we arranged a faux wine tasting for my father which the grange and
emma in particular went along with.
The daily reviews were a god sent and the level of care that was provided was top notch.
In those final moments you could see the genuine care and love for my dad.
Can not say thank you enough.

My Mum went to Welwyn Grange for two weeks respite care in May and then moved in permanently in August this year. I cannot rate Welwyn Grange highly enough. Their level of care is second to none. Every single member of staff goes over and above to ensure that residents are looked after amazingly
well and their families kept up to speed with their care plan at all times. I couldn't wish for a better place for my Mum to be in this last chapter of her life. Absolute 10/10

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband (R.W.) has been residing at Oldham Grange for 4 and a half months. He has multiple medical diagnoses but for me the most difficult to accept and cope with is his dementia which has rapidly progressed in the last 6 and a half months. Behaviour and subsequent care management can be very challenging
and I have witnessed on multiple occasions great patience, concern, gentleness and respectfulness for privacy and dignity by staff as they cope with these difficult and trying situations. I am kept informed and consulted from time to time, and emotionally cared for and supported as well. I was initially attracted to OG's family-centred philosophy of care and I have experienced this much to my satisfaction. Last Sunday several family members wwere enabled by OG to enjoy a Sunday lunch with R. to celebrate his 89th Birthday. It was a happy occasion for R. and his family to come together in lovely, comfortable and safe surroundings and be served a super lunch all carried out with love and care.

Over the past four months of my wife's residency, I have been a regular visitor to Oakham Grange. During that time, it has been a comfort to see my wife securely settled in such a well-designed, well-equipped and well-maintained home where her medical, personal and social needs can be met. This is largely
due to the hard work and commitment of the staff - all of whom are welcoming, helpful and always keen to improve the service they offer by addressing any problems that arise. No care home can be perfect - but Oakham Grange manages to tick many of the boxes. Many thanks to all concerned.

My father was taken into Welwyn Grange care home in May 2025, he was on end of life care while he suffered with terminal Lung cancer. Unfortunately my father didn't get to see the care home as he couldn't get out of the bed due to his frailty. Nevertheless the staff made his last few months some of
the best times he had in many years, tending to his every need and nothing was too much trouble, with his immediate family not living close by it was good to know he was in safe hands with the staff there.
Everyone was attentive, patient and most of all cared about the residents, if I could score higher than 5 stars I would. As soon as you walk through the doors it feels like home, not like a traditional care home but more like a 5 star hotel!

While caring for my parents I have experienced about a dozen different care homes in the Welwyn/Hatfield area over the last 10 years. Some have been good, most average and some just terrible. I came across Welwyn Grange about two months ago and immediately arranged a visit. The building is brand new
and the home has only been open for about 10 months. It feels more like a very good hotel and nothing like a typical care home. The internal decor and resident facilities are first class. I was so impressed I decided to transfer my mother from her current home as soon as possible. She has been there for a month now and I have found the staff to be very professional, helpful, attentive and responsive. The activities are extremely well run the care provision is excellent and the residents all appear very settled and happy. In my opinion Welwyn Grange is on a completely different level to any other care home I have experienced and I would thoroughly recommend it. If only all were this good!
