I have lived here for almost two and a half years. The food is always very good and prompt. The views of the sea are delightful. I have a lovely room to myself and find the staff always friendly and helpful.

Review from A W (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 21 July 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mom has been at The Grange for six years. At first for respite care then for winter (6 months) stay and for last three years as a permanent resident. The best way to introduce a relative to their new life in care. Mom is happy and well looked after we feel confident in leaving her in their care.

Review from Muriel B (Resident) published on 20 January 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
The addition of an intercom system would lessen stress on staff and ensure shorter work for e.g. notification by public. During my stay, the lift was out of order and two staff away. A major complaint - bottom sheet on comfortable bed too small resulting in wakeful nights sleep and lying on waterproof
cover.

Review from Clive S (Son of Resident) published on 19 December 2016 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
Whilst the staff at the care home are very pleasant and helpful the facilities are tired and need updating. The lift has been out of action more often than not but has been updated recently and currently is working. The rooms at the top of the house have wooden windows that slide and can't easily be
opened.My father's room has double glazing but the bathroom is past its sell by date and needs updating the shower is unusable as it's in the bath that he can't get in! Most of the rooms are the same, some have walk in showers but again very tired. There is a bath with a lift system on the ground floor that is used and he gets a bath about once a fortnight. The lounge is tired as is the restaurant. The TVs are tiny and hard for old residents to see.

Review from June L (Resident) published on 19 December 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Soups were delicious - good colour, good flavour, good texture, a lot of variety. Both good cooks. There was a kitchen helper who was absolutely delightful whenever I asked him for help, he was so willing and always did as I asked (I had two new hips and could not bend down!) He was pleased he had got
a job. At times there seemed to be a lack of staff! I understand that there was one lady on duty for night duty once! It was a full house and was a lot for one lady to do.

I visit the Grange as part of a team which carries out a monthly religious Church of England service. I also go twice a month with an ordained minister from an East Dean Anglican church to provide Holy Communion to those who want it.
We are welcomed by the manager and staff and value our connection
with the Grange. We also go tot he Grange on remembrance day and at Christmas time.

I was surprised and delighted by their anxiousness to serve me and see to my everyday needs. I am a vegan and the chef's attention to my needs was exemplary. The staff were lovely. The room was large indeed and I came away from there with fond memories of my enforced stay.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.672)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.672) out of 10 for East Dean Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 15 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 15 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 4.672 for East Dean Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (129 Excellents x 5) + (38 Goods x 4) + (10 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 177 Ratings = 4.672
  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 East Dean Grange Care Home is based on 15 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 15 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.
