Care Homes Owned by Ardale

The big heart that is Oakham Grange has been such comfort - the care and compassion they gave us all will forever be appreciated - THANK YOU!

My brother was cared for beautifully throughout his 20 month stay. The staff were always polite, cheerful and friendly. Couldn't have asked for a better place. It was always a pleasure to visit the home and we were always cheerfully greeted.

How lucky was my dad & family. A big Thank you to Welwyn Grange!!!

Our Dad made Welwyn Grange his home in March 2025 when health issues and lack of mobility meant that he needed additional nursing care. Welwyn Grange made Dad and the whole family welcome from the outset. It was such a comfort to the family that the level of care and attention provided has been excellent from day one. So much so that the family were delighted when Mum decided to join him there in July 2025.

Professional, caring, friendly, thoughtful and considerate staff across the whole team at Welwyn Grange and of course a lovely engaging environment for residents.

Sadly Dad was diagnosed with a terminal illness this summer, his wish to receive end of life care at Welwyn Grange was honoured. Whilst we sadly lost him 3 days ago I on behalf of the whole family would like to express our sincere thanks to all the staff for they way nursed and cared for him. The family couldn't have made his passing as dignified gentle and peaceful as it was without you all.

My wife Lynda went into Oakham Grange May 2026 with Alzheimer's dementia and mobility problems. After 3 weeks respite care her condition worsened, and she became a full-time resident. Throughout her 4 month stay, she was treated with affectionate care which she received. Her end-of-life care in September 2026 could not have been handled in any way better. Massive thanks to The Grange.

My mother received end of life care from the wonderful staff who allowed us as a family to be with her until the end . This turned out to be five days of laughter, tears, and wonderful stories being told over this time with dozens of people visiting . My sisters and I plus granddaughters all stayed , we were fed and supported thorough out by caring staff from all departments. We will always be eternally grateful to Welwyn Grange for making those last days something we will treasure

A really professional and welcoming care home with attentive and long standing staff who have deep knowledge of health and welfare and are proactive in escalation management. The communication with Evan prior and during the placement about needs and expectations was thorough and clear. At the coal face the care was exemplary with empathy and attention to detail being evident with all staff members. Ade and Joan looked after my loved one with utmost professionalism and made sure that their needs were met and that anything unusual was escalated to medical professionals promptly. The rooms themselves were modern, spacious and clean much like a 5 star hotel. They went the extra mile to transport equipment because we are close by.

I would highly recommend this nursing home.

There is a good level of security when visiting

Welwyn Grange is a most beautiful place, purpose - built and feels like a lovely home.Both I and my husband visited the Grange and were as impressed as our son. All the staff are kind and friendly´.While my husband was there it was his birthday. We celebrated in the special dining room. The chef made a delicious chocolate cake.Should my husband need respite care again we won´t hesitate to send him back to the Grange. It feels like a home from home. A G

I would totally recommend Welwyn grange check it out

My father spent his final months in Potters Grange Care home. The staff were efficient, professional and extremely caring. They treated him with dignity and kindness and went out of their way to make him comfortable and content. The home itself is lovely, well kept, modern and spotless. Evan and his team of professionals lead the way in care giving. Every effort was made to give my father and indeed all the residents a great quality of life. I am happy to recommend this home to anyone considering care for their loved one. I never had any doubt about the fact that my father was cared for in the best way.

My Aunt was at Welwyn Grange from July 2025. At this point, it was just end-of-life palliative care, as she was only expected to live for approximately 3 months. She just passed away last week. I'm sure this was only due to the dedicated staff's care and attention. She had just celebrated her 99th birthday with a wonderful Birthday cake and celebrations by the staff. The whole place is just first class, more like a hotel than a care home. The care they took of my Aunt was second to none. I don't live locally, so the weekly phone calls were really appreciated. She was so lucky to spend her final months there. I really can't recommend it highly enough.

My mum spent her last few days in Welwyn Grange. It was a quiet, calm time for the family to be around mum. The facilities were amazing and the staff were so caring and helpful. The transfer from hospital and the settling in process was handled with efficiency and speed. Thank you very much for making mum's passing easier for us.

As a businessman, I am acutely aware that people are often too quick to voice grievances but rarely take the time to recognise excellence. My father was a resident here from July 2025 until his recent passing, living with complex Mixed Dementia and significant behavioural challenges. Despite these difficulties, the team never wavered in their commitment to his dignity.

The Home Manager is quite simply one of the most capable and professional senior leaders I have encountered, possessing a rare blend of clinical tact and emotional intelligence. The reception team is the heartbeat of the operation, providing comprehensive knowledge and a welcoming atmosphere. I also wish to highlight the housekeeping staff; one individual in particular worked with a singular ferocity and professional speed while always maintaining a genuine, human connection with my father. Nearly all staff brought distinct personalities and a great sense of humour to their roles with impressive alacrity.

Thank you, Welwyn Grange, for hosting such a wonderful birthday party for my friend. Everything was beautifully arranged, and the atmosphere made it truly special. The cake was the fabulous highlight of the celebration-absolutely delicious and perfectly presented. It made the day even more memorable!
