Latest Care Quality Commission* Report on Coton Grange: click here
* Care Quality Commission is responsible for the registration and inspection of social care services in England.
The Review Score of 9.6 (maximum of 10) for Coton Grange is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.
a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 31 Reviews over all time. This Average Rating is also the rating value for Coton Grange in Google's Search Results - more info
b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5 out of 5 from 17 positive Reviews in the last 12 months.
a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating of all Reviews over all time. For each review the Care Home / service is rated Excellent, Good, Satisfactory, Poor or Very Poor on a number of areas eg Staff, Management etc. The Care Home receives points for each rating as follows: Excellent = 5. Good = 4. Satisfactory = 3. Poor = 2. Very Poor = 1. These points are added up and then divided by the total number of completed ratings to generate the average rating.
The Average Rating of 4.59 for Coton Grange is calculated as follows: ( (237 Excellents x 5) + (117 Goods x 4) + (16 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 371 Ratings = 4.59
b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 12 months. If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with 'Extremely Likely' or 'Likely' in answer to the question 'How likely are you to recommend this Care Home to friends and family if they needed similar care or treatment?'
The 5 points available are broken down as follows:
4 points are available for the first 5 Positive Reviews, 3 points for the first Positive Review and then 0.25 Points for each of the next 4 Positive Reviews.
1 point is available for reaching a target number of Positive Reviews based on 20% of the number of registered maximum number of service users. If the target is partially reached then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home with 50 registered maximum number of service users has a target of 10 Positive Reviews, if it has 10 or more Positive Reviews it will receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews will receive 0.7 points.
If there are no Positive Reviews in the last 12 months, then 2.5 points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 2 years. The calculation is the same as above, except the points are divided by 2.
The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Coton Grange is based on 17 positive Reviews in the last 12 months and is calculated as follows:
3 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 4
Target of 5.2 positive Reviews (26 registered maximum number of service users ÷ 5). 17 Reviews ÷ 5.2 Target Reached = 1
When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
Coton Grange has a Review Score of 9.6 (9.590) from 31 Reviews

The managers are polite, considerate, understanding and very knowledgeable about dementia care. From my first phone conversation with them I have felt reassured that Coton Grange is the right home for my mum.
The managers and staff create a happy atmosphere. Senior staff turnover is extremely low which I find very encouraging. Pleased to know all the staff receive training in dementia care and have updates.
All the staff are non-judgemental. I visit at random times and have never seen anything which concerns me. The kitchen and laundry staff are always very friendly and know the residents.
Activities and entertainment are good and appropriate for residents. I would have no hesitation in recommending Coton Grange.

Having visited many other care homes we made an unannounced visit to Coton Grange to view.
From the outset, we were impressed by the enthusiasm of the staff members and the overall operation of the facility. Fifteen months later we are still impressed by the dedication of all members of staff, residents are warm, clean and well looked after. Pastoral care is excellent all involved have hands-on can do attitude. Any concerns are well resolved immediately highly recommended.

My relative has been with Coton Grange for the past 4 years while he has been there. He has been treated with dignity and respect and is opinions are asked at all times.
The meals are very good and the cleanliness of the home is good and is tastefully furnished throughout. The security aspect is good and if there are any issues with my relative I am kept informed at all times. The home is a very large lounge/dining area to have meals together and socialise it also as a very large garden area and patio residents can relax in the summer months. I would not hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone.

Although we only keep in phone contact weekly and visit monthly, we have found the staff very helpful, keeping us informed even if our relative only has a cold. They were extremely good when my relative had a short spell in hospital.
A friendly and welcoming place.

Many thanks for the review. Although it is very positive, we would ask you to view the activity agenda upon your next visit. As you only visit once a month and we don't have an email for your family, we are unable to send you pictures of events that take place. Kind regards.

The staff are very caring and patient and are clearly well trained in dealing with people with dementia. They interact with residents on a personal level and my father enjoys a laugh and a joke with them. This creates a calm and happy atmosphere.
The home is extremely attentive to my father's physical and health needs and takes prompt action to keep him as well and comfortable as possible.

I am so truly thankful that this wonderful home was suggested to me when the time came that mum needed more care than would have been possible in her own home. It's such a warm, cosy friendly place that it does indeed seem like a home from home.
Mum has benefitted so much from the wonderful care that she receives and has settled in so well. Management is excellent, nothing is too much trouble, Professional yet personal, I feel that I am one of the family too, the way I am treated I cannot recommend this lovely home enough.

Review submitted from a Postal Card by Andrew OC (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 15 March 2017. Relates to January 2017.
My mother who is 87 years of age, was admitted to Coton Grange after the death of my father. My mother has spent over 150 days at Coton Grange. From the very onset of having dealt with the owners and care staff, I knew that this care home was going to give my mother, who has vascular dementia, an excellent level of care. The care and understanding that was shown to me by all the staff in what was a very difficult time when mom was first admitted was exemplary. Regards the care that mother received while at Coton Grange, I can say that knowing my mother she was cared for at a very high level as she has such good connection with all the care staff and them with her. It brought such joy and understanding to her that I will be thankful forever. She always smiled to the care staff who in turn smiled and talked to her, it gives me such comfort to know that my mother was well cared for and loved so much by the staff. Te care home is clean, very well managed and I would have no hesitation in recommending this care home.

Review submitted from a Website Submission by Steve T (Son of Resident) on Wednesday 8 February 2017. Relates to January 2017.
My father was a resident at the home for some 14 months, following a short period of loss of mobility at home, which meant we were no longer able to enable his independence in his own home.
He has just turned 90 and had been used to travelling around the West Midlands alone on his bus pass up to the age of 88.
When he lost his mobility, it began a gradual decline, and various medical conditions and Dementia developed.
I felt that Coton Grange offered him the care and support that he required, in a homely environment, which wasn't always easy given that he was unhappy with his personal predicament..poor health, no mobility, reduced independence, and a touch of dementia.
Despite this, the staff were always positive, friendly and helpful.
Unfortunately, he died in early February, but he..like me...would like to thank all staff for their care and kindness...thank you.

My Mother-in-Law has settled into the home much better than we expected, probably due to the lovely staff. If the family had any issues they are were dealt with quickly. She has not once spoken to us about wanting to go back home which is also a positive sign on our part that she is happy there.

Coton Grange has a lovely 'homely' feel. The staff are all friendly and treat the residents with dignity and respect. My mother came here after a fall and was not able to live independently anymore, but has settled in well to Coton Grange. She is content and happy to be here. As a family, we are pleased that our mom is being looked after so well in a safe environment.

Coton Grange is a warm and welcoming care home who looked after my mother for nearly 4 years. During that time the staff at the home cared for my mum with kindness and respect under sometimes very difficult circumstances due to her Alzheimer's. They have an excellent senior management team and because the owners have a hands-on approach they get to know all the residents personally. The management team are very approachable and are always willing to listen to and discuss any issues that may arise. The staff have the best interests of the residences at heart and are open to new ideas or suggestions from the families on how to cope with their loved ones. During the last week of my mum's life, the support from the staff was overwhelming and l could not fault the care or support they offered us as a family during such an emotional time.

My aunt has settled into Coton Grange very well and describes it as a "good place". She says all the carers are very kind and caring and nothing is too much trouble. We have seen this ourselves when visiting and are welcomed when we do visit. The only comment she makes is that the meals could be more varied.

I like my privacy. I like to read the newspaper or read in my bedroom. However, the staff will still check on me and bring me a lovely cup of tea. I have only been here for a month but in that period of time the staff are very attentive and the food is beautiful. The carers always assure I have a shave and that I look representable. They always give me my dignity in any personal care.

This was the second home my relative had stayed within the course of a year so it was important to us that the move would not cause unnecessary upset. The staff made them feel very welcome when they arrived and made the transition of moving to new surroundings as stress free as possible. The staff were always on hand to answer any questions and concerns and they also informed me of any incidents straight away. They were always clean and dentist, eye, chiropodist and hairdressing were always available which I was very pleased about as it avoided taking them out to appointments in view of mobility issues. My relative was very happy there and was always content, clean and was always praising the food choices available. When medical issues arose they were dealt with promptly by getting the GP involved and the District Nurses were involved straight away. I was very happy with the care received.

My relative has lived at Coton Grange for several months. He was made to feel very welcome. He settled very quickly and he said he likes living there. He lived in another care home previously but was very unsettled. I don't live locally so only visit the home every few weeks. I telephone regularly and staff are always able to give me a full update. I visited recently for my grandad's birthday and was very pleased with his care. He has been quite poorly lately but staff have ensured he receives good care and support. I have no concerns about the home, the staff are very caring and kind.
