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.

My mum has been a resident at The Grove for 18 months. Although she has very complex needs she is cared for in a professional and caring manner. Both the manager and staff are always easily accessible to talk over any problems that may occur. The staff do try to include mum with activities but I understand that this is difficult.
Staff are hardworking, professional and overall reassuring.

Mum went in The Grove when she knew she was near the end of her life and she knew that neither she nor us could manage her health problems in her own home. Every member of staff that we met gave mum extreme care and kindness and we can't thank them enough. I would also like to thank the district nurse and praise the relationship between the staff at The Grove and the district nurses as it contributed enormously to helping mum through her last days.
Thank you so much for your kind words and review. I know the manager and her staff will be delighted that you could entrust the care of your mum to us and that you saw the kindness and care that was given.
The staff are very caring towards all the residents. They spend time with them. They are also considerate to families. If I ever have any issues which I need to discuss, they listen and action a response. If needed they discuss them with the seniors or manager.

The manager is very proficient in the role. She also is very caring and easily approachable if I need to discuss any issues.
Very well run care home and I would highly recommend it.

Dear Alan, thank you so much for your review of the Grove, I will ensure the manager and her team are aware of your kind words. We are all delighted at St Philips that you are happy to entrust your mothers care to us.
Having worked in care myself for 10 years I know good care when I see it. The staff at The Grove have all been excellent and that is a rare find. It is reassuring to know that when we leave she is receiving the best possible care.

I am delighted that you feel your loved one is cared for.
They took over my mum's care and were able to advise me what are would be needed taking a huge weight off me. The home was well maintained and set in lovely surroundings. I cannot thank them enough.

Gave my aunt extremely good care. Not the best it terms of bricks and mortar but it’s the staff that count and they were very caring.

As a family, we thank all the staff at this amazing care home. My brother-in-law passed away in The Grove Care Home this week. We couldn't have wished for better care for him. He and ourselves were treated with the utmost respect and professionalism. The kindness shown to us all was lovely, especially to his elderly wife. Nothing was too much trouble. Everyone had a comforting smile and a kind word, (as well as a lovely cup of tea). We were made to feel welcome at all times and kept informed of any changes. You can see how hard everyone works and it shows in the deliverance of care. Thank you from the Cooke family.
As a family, we cannot thank everyone at The Grove enough for the care and attention my Grandmother received.
