Since my mother has been in the home she has been exceptionally happy and content. The food is very good and has improved her appetite overall. Her living experience is far better.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I'm happy with the care provided by the home. The staff are friendly, supportive and caring. My mother-in-law is dressed tidily and is clean all the time.


She is disabled so requires support eating and all movement and this is done really well by the house.

The home has a very welcoming feel about it. Nicely decorated and extremely clean.
Visitors are always welcome at any time. The staff seem very helpful and polite. There is always food and drinks for the residents every couple of hours and entertainment periodically and some organised theatre trips.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have been very happy with the care my dad has received in the last 2 months. He is treated with dignity and the staff have shown a real interest in getting to know him. He has been poorly and they have ensured he gets regular visits from the doctor. He was accompanied to the hospital, real compassion
shown.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Although my mother has only been in Willow Grange for a short time, we have had excellent times, visited every day. The staff, management and general feeling of contentment by residents is very evident and we are very pleased with our choice of Willow Grange as a care home for my mother. I believe the
tick list says all that we have found occurs in this care home.

Review from Karen T (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The staff are very pleasant and helpful. The management are willing to answer any queries and resolve any issues. They have recently reacted quickly to resolve some safety issues. They have had four activities coordinators in the past 18 months showing how difficult a role it is for one person. Despite
this they try many different activities to interest and stimulate the residents. The residents are usually happy and like a chat when I visit my mother 3-4 times a week. Most importantly my mother seems happy and I know she is cared for and safe.

We see the carers of my sister, when her washing goes missing, they say they are going to bring them back. But we have to go looking in the laundry room for them ourselves, although we have put labels in all of her clothes.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.531)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.531) out of 10 for Willow Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.531 for Willow Grange is calculated as follows: ( (111 Excellents x 5) + (15 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (8 Poors x 2) + (5 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 143 Ratings = 4.531
  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 Willow Grange is based on 10 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 46 registered maximum number of service users is 9.2, which has been reached with 10 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.
