Review from Nicholas D (Son of Resident) published on 16 June 2022 Submitted via Website•
Overall Experience
My father was with Penmount Grange for 2 years and several months. Throughout this time (a very difficult period due to the COVID pandemic) I found all the care home staff I had contact with to be caring, communicative and operating at a high professional standard. I was always kept informed of developments concerning my father and they were super efficient in advocating for him in relation to medical matters. He had been reluctant to go into a care home but changed his mind once he settled due to the caring and supportive nature of the staff team and was very happy there. As his health deteriorated and he entered the end-of-life stage the staff excelled in giving both my father and myself the appropriate level of support we both needed. I would definitely recommend Penmount Grange to anyone considering them as an option.

- Outstanding - The service is performing exceptionally well.
- Good - The service is performing well and meeting our expectations.
- Requires Improvement - The service isn't performing as well as it should and we have told the service how it must improve.
- Inadequate - The service is performing badly and we've taken action against the person or organisation that runs it.
- Not rated - we have not yet rated this area of the service, this is normally because the assessments we have carried out have been focused on other key questions.
