  • The Grove Care Home, Rotherham
The Grove Care Centre is a 28-bedded home offering a combination of single rooms and double rooms, 26 of which have en-suite facilities.

Originally built in 1924, The Grove is surrounded by an acre of beautiful, mature gardens at the heart of the village of Thurnscoe near Barnsley.

The Grove has been extensively upgraded and refurbished to modernise the facilities and to provide specific specialist care for residents with dementia. The re-decoration and new furniture provide cosy and comfortable surroundings and new, state-of-the-art equipment assures the health and safety of residents with limited mobility.

Residents enjoy a range of social activities, and The Grove regularly welcome singers, musicians and other entertainers to the home. For those who prefer peace and quiet, and for residents to pursue their own hobbies, there are dedicated areas for relaxation.

The home has a dedicated team of staff with a wealth of experience within this sector. Some staff at the Grove Care Home have over 20 years of service and the staff are passionate about respect and dignity for each resident in the home.

The Grove has been highlighted in the Barnsley Employers forum for the way End of Life Care is delivered, and although the home does not have a designated End of Life Champion, every staff member in the home is an End of Life Champion and all residents will feel the love and respect.

The Grove Care Home has a new computerised care plan system called Person Centred Software where staff evidence care interactions and care planning as it happens.

All catering is locally sourced and freshly home cooked, with a varied menu catering for all dietary requirements. These menus/meals are discussed with the residents of The Grove and they are healthy and well balanced.

I find The Grove very 'welcoming'! The 'atmosphere' is apparent upon entering! It smells lovely and everything is clean and tidy. No obvious obstacles and 'freedom' is extended to both residents and visitors. Both myself and my husband have agreed on the 'excellent' survey below! 'Care and respect'
is shown by staff.

Excellent care home. Caring committed staff very friendly and approachable. Mum is treated with respect and dignity. Good facilities and range of activities. Mum is partially sighted so is given support with any activities. Every effort is made to decorate and celebrate the home for events like Halloween
and remembrance day. The home was very colourful and looked lovely and cheerful for residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Our dad died very suddenly and it became apparent even with carer's mum couldn't cope on her own. She also didn't want to move to where I live in another part of the country.
From day one the staff have been amazing with mum. She had a lot of anxieties when she first went in (2021) but it's like having
our old mum back. They work tirelessly and are always happy and smiling. They absolutely all go above and beyond including the chef, cleaners and handyman. They cater to food tastes/allergies (mum can be fussy) and they've managed to stabilise her weight as, she did initially lose a lot after dad passed.
Rooms are lovely, all have a small ensuite with a toilet and sink. Mum has all her little trinkets in there, in fact she had so many that when a larger room became available she was given it. She's made lot's of friends in there, including the staff who are all like one big happy family. Thank you for making our mum feel safe and part of a larger extended 'family'.

Cannot thank everyone enough, my Mum was very unwell when she first arrived on a two-week respite and is now doing very well and has gained weight and looks great.
Everyone is fantastic not only with my Mum but also with my Dad who visits every day.
Staff always have a cheerful greeting and inform
you of any issues my Mum has had in the day and are on top of all her needs.
My mum is now a full-time resident, everyone has always got time to talk to her and always have a smile even when she has an off day.

On my arrival, I was in a very poor condition, extremely weak and frail. With care and compassion, the staff and the team at The Grove nursed me back to health. I feel renewed with a new sense of purpose! My transformation has been incredible! I feel at home here, making friends, feeling happy and safe
and counting the staff as family.

My mum was going into a care home I visited more than I care to remember. I turned up at The Grove, stressed, and tearful myself, they warmly welcomed me and actually wrapped their arms around me. They went over and above to secure a place for Mum, she was so ill when she was discharged. The Grove sprung
into action, settled Mum in, doctors attended which they arranged, her medication was amended. She is improving, she is safe, she is happy, and she is looked after with so much care. I can finally breathe. All the staff are amazing.

A very welcoming place which has a friendly and caring approach. My husband was in for respite, which was a welcome experience for both of us. The staff were caring and really helped him settle in. I certainly would use The Grove again for him to have respite; it is a happy place, and we were made to
feel very welcome. Thank you.

Our grandad has been in The Grove Care Home for the past few months. He has spent a great amount of time living alone. However, due to declining health, he was unable to remain living independently. He initially struggled to settle, but with the constant support and care of the staff, he is now starting
to engage in the activities offered in the home and feels more settled. Staff are always attentive to him and happy to discuss any issues or concerns we may have.

During the time our dad was in the care home the carers made him feel welcome and comfortable so much so his health improved he was able to return to his own home several months later. On the day he left all the staff were visibly upset which showed they cared. We would like to thank everyone for
there care and attention not only to our dad, but to us too.

Although it is sad that I am unable to care for my wife anymore due to my age (90) and her health needs I feel she is in the next best place. I know the staff care for her and keep her safe and occupied and she is treated well and loved. I am able to rest easy knowing that my wife is being treated with
both respect and dignity. I also appreciate how welcomed I feel when I visit daily.

My nanan has been at The Grove for 4 months after issues at the previous home she had respite in due to poor mobility. She lived alone for the last 10 years and was adamant she didn’t want to go in any home. Now she is a permanent resident at The Grove of her own choice as she didn’t want to go back
home which speaks for itself. The staff deliver excellent care and treat my nanan as if they’re her family and is treated with dignity and respect at all times. She also struggles with her sight but staff make any reasonable adjustments to ensure she can partake in activities to join in with other residents. I wouldn’t want her to be anywhere else.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.665)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.665) out of 10 for The Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 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 4.815 for The Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (139 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 168 Ratings = 4.815
  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 4.85 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for The Grove Care Home is based on 14 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 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 3.85
    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 28 registered maximum number of service users is 5.6, which has been reached with 14 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.
