The Grange

My mother has been a resident of The Grange for a number of years. The home has always made her feel welcome and wanted, caring for her wellbeing at all times of day and night. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Their care and attention has undoubtedly prolonged her time with us. The health and hygiene of residents is a primary objective here and their food is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone considering residential care for their loved one.

Wonderful location with caring staff who work so hard to keep all the residents involved in various activities. My mother settled well and is looked after and content, she has pretty advanced dementia.

The Grange is a large mansion set in beautiful grounds, the passageways are wide so there is plenty of room for wheelchairs which my father needed, and the lounge and restaurant are spacious allowing everyone to spread out as wished. In normal times the staff are very happy to accept visitors dropping in to see relatives as I did on many occasions. The Grange have taken a very responsible pro-active response to Covid-19, locking down early and doing everything they can to prevent this terrible disease. We are very grateful for the excellent care Dad received while at The Grange.

The Grange is a lovely home. I feel my mother is safe and very well cared for. She had doubts and fears about going into care, but she soon settled in thanks to the kind and friendly staff. The setting is glorious, the garden superbly maintained, and the food good. Her room is spacious and always kept clean. The management team is always looking to make improvements and they are not afraid to spend money on new equipment and furniture. They are flexible and willing to consider individual needs. The activities are varied and well organised by a wonderful member of staff who works with energy, enthusiasm and a constant willingness to go the extra mile. I think there is little that could be improved. My mother occasionally moans about laundry taking a long time to get back to her, but they are doing their best with a lot of clothes! And if some staff are off sick they may be a bit stretched at times, but they do bring in staff from their other home or from an agency if needed.

My mother moved to The Grange aged 91 and was well looked after during her 8 years there. Even in her latter months after dementia had set in and she was immobile and required nursing care, the manager and her team did a great job. Whenever we visited the rooms were clean and staff knew about her situation. Above all she was happy. They even took the time to attend her funeral.

If you are looking for somewhere and you don't need specialist dementia or nursing support I would definitely recommend looking at The Grange. The food also seemed pretty good and we were always offered a drink when we visited and made to feel at home. The patio outside feels like sitting in a hotel garden and all the tubs are kept tip top.

My nan is thoroughly enjoying her stay. The grounds and facilities are excellent and the staff could not do more to help. She has been made to feel very welcome by all of the staff. The quality of care given by the staff is outstanding and they are incredibly attentive. There is a wide range of activities going on every day, which my nan is able to take part in if she wishes. Her room is brilliant and is very large and clean. Moving into this care home has been the best decision my nan has made!

My mother went to The Grange for a permanent stay but unexpectedly only lived for 9 days. During that time all of the staff were welcoming, caring and kind. Nothing was too much trouble for them. All of her family were included in this care. My mother was very happy and contented with the care she received and loved her room with a view. We would very much recommend The Grange as a very good place to be.

My mother passed away earlier this week after two and a half comfortable years at The Grange, the first 18 months of which was with my father as well. As you can see from the ratings, we think this is a very good home in many ways, but what impressed us most was the caring nature, the patience, and the professionalism of the staff, for whom it seemed nothing was too much trouble. They would care for us too, for instance as we spent several days at my mother's bedside when they would bring us meals and drinks. They appreciated our parents' wish to die there and were able to accommodate that, despite not being a nursing home as such. We would have no hesitation in recommending this home to others in our position.
