Grasmere Care Home

Thank you so much.

Regarding the rates below - we have observed each item and would still say they are excellent. However, we still say costs are very high but are aware of the costs of maintaining a care home particularly where staff salaries are concerned.

On placing my mum in Grasmere after researching residential care in the area we came across Grasmere and was recommended by some friends as it had a good reputation and it didn't disappoint. My mum was rather challenging when she first went to Grassmere but the staff were so patient with mum and she is now settling in nicely. Me and my family are so grateful and it really has put our minds at rest as we can see the change in Mum for the better.

The staff are great and go out of their way to help you. Mum has improved so much since being in this care home. I can honestly say we made the right decision to place her in this care home.

All the staff at Grasmere are excellent and experienced. They try their best to meet my friend's needs despite her very tricky demands. My friend has lived there for several years now and I feel that they know her very well.

My mother has been a resident at Grasmere for over 3 years and we have been highly impressed with the care and kindness that Mum has received throughout. The staff are caring and attentive, showing warmth in their interactions with the residents. There is a good variety of entertainment and activities and even outings to the local garden centre! The home invite families to events, even hosting a Fireworks Party this week which was a really intimate "Grasmere Family" resident/carer/family mix with all ages enjoying a superb display of fireworks. There is always a happy atmosphere in the home, often with music playing. Mum's room is always clean and tidy with fresh bedding and clothes daily. Mum always says how good the food is and it seems that her likes and dislikes are taken into account. The staff are always available to answer any questions that we have and we feel that Mum is safely and kindly cared for. Thank you to the Manager and all the wonderful staff at Grasmere.

Since my mother moved in February 2024, she has enjoyed the caring surroundings and wonderful care staff. The activities in particular have been a very important part of her enjoyment and engagement. Regular outings and church visitors is also something that my mother really enjoys. Finally, I have noticed how happy she is generally and is eating so much better and has maintained a good varied diet.

Very friendly staff, always willing to help Mum and keep on top of issues. Mum really likes the home-cooked food and likes all the activities that Grasmere run, especially the trips out to the garden centres.

I feel my relative receives a high level of personal care by thoughtful and considerate members of staff. The activity coordinator really knows the resident's capabilities and adapts tasks appropriately.

My mother has now been a resident of Grasmere for almost 3 and a half years. She will be 98 next month and has increasingly poor sight, hearing and mobility issues that compromise her day-to-day living but she is so well looked after in Grasmere. She never ceases to praise the great care and good food she receives. Grasmere is well-led and managed and we are all very grateful to the entire team for all their tender loving care to Mum. Thank you every one of you.

Mother is content, consistently comments positively about quality of food and kindness of staff. Management is efficient and approachable and flexible concerning borrowing wheelchairs for family outings.

I would recommend this care home.

I can’t ever thank them enough for the care she received and for the support they have shown me also. She loved them all so much and I would recommend Grasmere to anyone.

Dad has been a resident at Grasmere Rest Home for over a year. The home is well-managed, friendly, attentive and caring. As a family, we are very happy with the care that Dad gets. We are very pleased that Dad selected Grasmere as his preferred home. The management and staff could not be better.

All seems OK. The management of this home and the care given by the staff appears to be good and any issues raised by the family are listened to and, in our family's case, acted upon.

My brother and I were very pleased to have found Grasmere Rest Home for our mother. All the staff are very friendly and caring towards the residents and their individual needs. My mum was reluctant at first to go but she has certainly settled in well now and takes part in the many activities on offer. She loves the outings to the garden centre and pub lunches. It’s great to be able to see the regular pictures of the activities on social media. A big thank you to all.

The staff at Grasmere Rest Home are wonderful. They are very caring and have treated my mother amazingly. They are interactive and play games and sing songs. My mother was very happy at Grasmere Rest Home. Thank you all for looking after her.

I would have no reservations in recommending Grasmere to anyone who is looking for a care home for their loved one.

This is a home like no other.

It is a lovely home and the staff are very friendly. We have had contact with my mother by Zoom and telephone and Pod visits, but we will be glad when we can visit her face to face and hold her hand.
