Review from F S (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 17 September 2025 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care that my mother in law has received at The Grange is excellent. Every member of the team is friendly and welcoming to us and go the extra mile to make sure that my mum in law is happy and settled.
The Grange has a lovely atmosphere and the residents all seem happy and extremely well cared
for.
A particular strength is the attention the team pay to each individuals needs. My mother in law has dietary requirements which the team go out of their way to not just accommodate but exceed.
The personal care is timely and thorough and I feel very confident that my mum in law is in safe, knowledgable hands.
It is always possible to speak to a member of staff in person or on the phone.

First impressions as soon as your walk up the path to the care home that the garden is well maintained. Being met at the door, all the staff have been very friendly and helpful. You always see the staff being attentive to the residents. Mum loves the food and wide selection on offer to eat.

My mother has been in this care home since May 2025 and I have been very impressed with the cleanliness, the organisation and the layout/facilities. Her room is compact with tv and day chairs, and also its own toilet and sink ensuite. I have observed the caring way the staff help people and my mother
has told me herself how well they look after her. The food looks good and there is a choice of dishes at every meal. I observed live music on regular occasions and there are facilities to sit and read, do puzzles or just relax. I am very glad my mother is there!

My mum has now been a resident at The Grange for 6 years. In that time she has received amazing care, the staff are always polite and friendly and keep me well informed on how mum is doing.
Whenever she has needed medical attention they are quick to respond and always phone me immediately to let me
know.
The home is well run and every member of staff provides mum with the level of care I would expect and they all genuinely seem to care about my mum.
I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who finds themselves in the position I was in 6 years ago.

My aunt sadly passed away in March 2025. She had been a resident at The Grange since early December 2023 following a fall at home when she broke her hip. My husband and I and family visited her regularly. I am pleased to say she was very happy and well looked after by all staff at The Grange. In my
estimation The Grange is extremely well managed where key issues are regularly addressed to make the residents' stay a happy and comfortable experience. At all times when we visited her we were met with a warm welcome by all staff. Thank you so much! In fact we believe the excellent care she received extended her life expectancy.

My mother died at The Grange on 20 April. Throughout her stay there we were pleased with the care she was given. In the days before her death, a senior carer did her paperwork in Mum's room to make sure she was not alone when the inevitable happened. So kind and thoughtful. We were always kept informed
of any problems. The manager and senior carers were all excellent.

I have visited one resident during the eight years he has resided there. Yesterday I visited another (temporary for two weeks) resident who I have known for 35 years. Both residents are happy and feel well cared for physically and emotionally. I have visited several social functions: recently the garden
party which was full up - a high class of presentations re food etc. and entertainment. Superbly well organised - a lovely experience for guests and residents.

As soon as you walk into the home you're welcomed by friendly, caring staff and a happy atmosphere. With my autine, they know when she has had enough of something and would take her out of whatever she was doing before it upset her. The staff and managers are so friendly and helpful. Couldn't ask for
anything better from a care home.

I have always found the staff caring and kind. Nothing is too much trouble. They must be happy working there as it's always the same ladies. They take time to discuss how my friend is coping and if he needs anything for me to bring in. The house is happy, clean and peaceful. It never smells. I have
noticed entertainment provided too.

I have been visiting my mother at The Grange for nearly five years. The staff are always welcoming and I have seen that the whole team is dedicated to providing the best care they can. They are happy in their work. I often see carers spending time and giving extended 'one-to-one' support when a resident
is in need of some extra help. Although the building was already maintained to a good standard, I have seen a programme of continuous improvement taking place with things like new carpets, furniture and windows being fitted. The building is always warm. Thank you for all of your good work.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My friend was moved into The Grange because she could no longer live by or take care of herself. She was finding it harder and harder to get through each day. Even though this was the case, I was really worried that she would find it difficult to adjust, after having lived on her own. However, nothing
could be further from the truth! She is so happy! The staff at The Grange were so welcoming and went out of their way to make her feel comfortable and to help her feel at ease. She has settled in so well and I am so relieved! I have discussed this with her and we both agree that this was absolutely the right decision to make! When I visit her, she is always around other residents, which is in itself so lovely to see, as she was quite lonely whilst living on her own. The staff are just so amazing! They go over and above their duties and take that extra personal care of the residents. I would certainly recommend The Grange and will never be able to thank them all enough!

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.903)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.903) out of 10 for The Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.903 for The Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (216 Excellents x 5) + (21 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 238 Ratings = 4.903
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grange Care Home is based on 20 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 20 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
