Lea Grange Care Home is wonderful. From the moment you walk through the door, it feels like a hug - warm, welcoming, and full of kindness. My mum has settled in so well; she originally went in for respite care but has been so happy there that she's decided to stay permanently. The staff are genuinely
caring and nothing is ever too much trouble. The home is spotless, the food is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is full of love and comfort. They don't just care for the residents; they care for the families too. I can't recommend Lea Grange highly enough.

On every visit, each member makes every effort to be cheerful, friendly and accommodating. The food appears to be of a very high standard. The entertainment, activities and facilities have been many and varied but are currently reduced due to staff shortages. I imagine this will be rectified in the
near future.
I would happily recommend the Lea Grange.

Mum spent the last 9 months of her life at Lea Grange. It was a difficult time as she suffered from severe vascular dementia but the staff were unfailingly kind and caring and we always had a warm reception. Would recommend unreservedly.

I cannot fault this care home. My mum is on the memory floor where the staff are wonderful. All the staff are so welcoming, caring and friendly. The decor is like a 5* hotel and my mum comments on the good food. There is a bistro area where we can take her for a drink and cake. The activities are brilliant,
as are all the facilities(cinema, hair salon etc). I like the fact that they have put pictures up on the wall for her. She is well cared for both medically and personally. I feel she is very safe and in good hands. The lady in charge of the memory floor is outstandingly good at her job. The whole place feels like home and has a lovely calm atmosphere.

We would like to thank the staff at Lea Grange for making a difficult couple of months for my mother that bit easier. We had lots of questions before and during her admission and these were patiently answered. We appreciated all the support we were given as Mum moved in. Mum is now settled and speaks
highly of both the care and nursing teams. She is also a fan of the good food. It all helps put our minds at rest that she is being well looked after.

I came for respite care following an operation. I found the staff very caring and supportive. The facilities are excellent, my only gripe, and I do realise the difficulty the kitchen have providing food for three restaurants, but often the food was overcooked, making it hard and more solid than should
be. Portion size was fine. Condiments other than salt and pepper not available. Overall, I found Lea Grange, which is only 3/4 of a mile from where I live, the best option in the area. Just a few tweaks and it would be excellent.

Lea Grange is a 5 star hotel, I can't praise it enough. Being beautifully furnished throughout. All features and fittings supplied by top brands, with no expense spared. A very comfortable hotel. The staff are very attentive and happy and helpful.

Excellent service, peaceful and befitting to end of life.
The palliative care was second to none, we were fortunate to have husband, father, grandfather taken into the care of Lea Grange.
The staff were amazing, caring and respectful throughout the end of life care, as a family we could not fault

Mum was very comfortable staying over the Christmas period. The staff were very friendly and caring and mum was very safe and well cared for. She only had breakfast and was with family during the day so did not really take part in any activities. Thank you for your care and kindness. Happy New Year.

The care and respect my father and family members received from the moment our father was accepted into the care of the staff and home was amazing.
During palliative care, my father was in the
best place, where the staff were attentive, and surrounded by his family in a quiet peaceful environment, till my father's passing.
I cannot thank the people who took care of our father and also the family members who also needed support during this difficult time.
Thank you so much, you all have a place in my life, that I will never forget.

My wife needs respite care to overcome recurrent falls and a spell in hospital. Lea Grange Care Home has been totally outstanding in providing this care. The facilities are new and second to none. The staff, including the management team, have gone out of their way to be helpful. The food is tempting
and well presented and the activities organisers have gone out of their way to involve my wife and accommodate her disabilities. Overall 10 out of 10 with no reservation.
