  • 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.

Review from Margaret C (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 June 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum had been a resident at The Grove since last September and I would just like to say how much she enjoyed it there.
She was kept clean and well-fed.
She always said that the meals were lovely couldn't ask for better.
She had clean clothes on everyday.
The staff were always kind and pleasant.
When
I visited every day they always opened the door to me with a warm welcome and a smile.
Nothing was too much trouble for them.
When mum took ill in May they were very concerned, sent for the doctor when he was needed.
They couldn't do enough for her or me while I stayed with her.
The staff really did look after her in her final days.
My brother and I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness and thoughtfulness.
Thank you.

Review from Lynn W (Daughter of Resident) published on 8 September 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been highly delighted with the care my mother has received during her six-year stay at The Grove Care Home. The Grove is well managed and all staff treat the residents with care and dignity. The food is nourishing and varied as well as attractively served. I trust this care home absolutely to
offer the best care to my mother. They keep me informed of any issues.

Review from Debbie H (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 11 April 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My granddad has been in this care home now for approximately four years. The staff are friendly and brilliant with all the residents and the standard of care is excellent. They are all very caring and bring visitors cups of tea. My granddad clearly loves all the staff and they go out of their way to
make his life as comfortable as possible. As his health has deteriorated they have become even more considerate to the needs of us, his family, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this care home to anyone.

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.
