I am always impressed by the care given to the residents. Every time I visit the staff are aware of various needs and are able to provide appropriate assistance. They are kind and patient, and friendly with visitors.

They are a caring home all staff are great. They have really helped my mum settle in. I can not praise them enough. They have gone a long way to work out how to make things easier for my mum, even ordering a new piece of equipment so as mum can have a shower safely. I can go back to being a daughter
and not a carer. I am not worrying about her daily care, that is someone else's responsibility.

The Staff are always welcoming, and there is a lovely atmosphere about the home. Everyone is approachable and if they are busy, they will come back to you as promptly as possible. There are lots of social events but sadly my relative doesn't join in but we hope in time he will. The staff do try to encourage
him though.

Tolson Grange is a lovely clean & bright environment.
The staff are all brilliant, chatty, caring & welcoming.
All the residents are well looked after, lots of activities to keep them entertained.
Dad's been in the carehome since Oct 24, the staff are all great with him, really looking after him.
He's
even put weight back on since being in, which is great!
He was falling at home & had a nasty one outside, wasn't safe to let him go walking by himself & he was becoming more confused & disoriented, along with other issues.
Being in the carehome, he has 24hr care & gives us peace of mind, knowing he's well looked after.

My wife is contentedly settled in the Home. We are confident that in a medical emergency the staff wil take appropriate action. Our family are happy that we can visit every day and play our part in the communal life.
I hope that my wife can continue to live at Tolson Grange for the rest of her life.

So happy my father is in this residential home.
My father-in-law was there until he passed away.
The staff are wonderful with dad and always stay to chat when delivering his meals and drinks, which are plentiful.
The staff have been there a long time and many have family also working there - that
says quite a lot.
We know he is safe, warm and cared for. He is happy and so are we.

My mum initially moved into Tolson Grange in September 2024 to convalesce after a fall. She quickly realised that the levels and quality of care that she received could not be replicated if she returned home, so she made the decision to stay permanently. She is very complimentary about the care staff
and any minor issues she has experienced with her room or care have been addressed very quickly. I really appreciate the approachability and helpfulness of all the care, admin and management staff.

The staff at Tolson are exceptional, their caring, friendly attitudes make Tolson the place it is. There is a peaceful and often joyful atmosphere in the home. I couldn't think of a better place for my father to reside in his latter years. They settled Dad within the home with the minimum of fuss and
went the extra mile to make sure Dad had all his familiar comforts so that Tolson quickly felt like his own home. The staff are always smiling and helpful, nothing is too much trouble for them. What an awesome team!

Mum recently celebrated her 100th birthday. Staff at the home were excited about this, and went above and beyond to help Mum prepare for the occasion. On the day, a concert was arranged for her, together with balloons, cake and candles, and a rousing rendition of Happy Birthday.
Since moving there,
Mum has developed good relationships with care staff, and their friendly manner and helpfulness have been much appreciated.

Dad has only been in the home a few weeks and the staff are amazing. Such a warm welcoming environment who don't only look after Dad but are so accommodating and welcoming to us as his family. The managers are informative and constantly keep me updated about Dad which is greatly appreciated. I cannot
speak highly enough of the home and the staff. We are so happy and relieved we have made the right choice for Dad.

Tolson Grange has cared for my mother for over 10 years, during which her ability to do things and be involved has gradually deteriorated and she has for several years now needed 24/7 care. The staff at Tolson Grange should be commended for their care and interest in those who live there. Is everything
perfect, of course not, that is not possible, but every effort is made to to make constant improvements and listen to those who live there and their relatives. The priority must be care, cleanliness and an environment which stimulates to offer as much happiness as possible and this has been achieved.

Mum has been in the care of Tolson Grange for just over 12 months. The transition hasn't been an easy one for us. Having to make the decision that we couldn't give her the care she needed was very hard. The staff at the Grange have been fantastic. Any concerns we have had have been answered pretty quickly,
and most problems solved. The entertainment has the residents smiling and joining in. There is laughter, tea, and of course cakes! Always a hand being held, hugs and reassurance (and that's also for us). We wouldn't have her anywhere else. Thank you to all the staff at Tolson Grange.

I continue to feel satisfied and confident in the care that Tolson Grange provides for my Mum. I visit twice weekly and always find the staff to be caring and patient regardless of the situation. They go the extra mile to ensure residents are happy and safe. The accommodation is clean and well-kept,
with shared areas often decorated to reflect current events. There are lots of food options and regular entertainment of various kinds. I feel very fortunate to have found somewhere where my Mum feels safe and contented.

When I first visited and enquired at Tolson Grange, I knew within the first minute it was right for Mum. Safe to say she didn't want to go and a stressful time for us all. But on the first day the staff were waiting at 2 pm and welcoming, with various lunch options waiting for her including roast pork
dinner! This gave us time to move her furniture from home. By the time we had finished moving her in at 5.30 pm she had the biggest smile on her face, declaring 5-star food, 5-star staff, and her room/apartment wonderful. Since then I have only experienced the care and dedication and helpfulness of all the staff, and the regular activities and friendships Mum has made in 6 months. Thank you.

My mum has been in Tolson Grange since the beginning of June this year (2024). The care home is well run and the staff are mostly helpful and caring. I'm also told by my mum that the food and entertainment/activities are very good. I'm very pleased with the care my mum is receiving and so thankful that
I found this place. It's a difficult decision to put one of your parents in a care home when the time comes and the team at Tolson Grange have made that a whole lot easier. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

My sister has been at Tolson Grange for over 12 months. She is in need of 24/7 care and has difficulty walking. The staff have been excellent with her despite her issues with dementia they are very patient. They also are very welcoming when I visit. The food seems excellent as my sister has put on quite
a few pounds. They also offer me drinks and refreshments when I visit which makes it feel homely for the residents and puts my mind at ease.

The home is spotlessly clean, the meals are excellent, and the staff are very friendly and caring.
There is always a program of activities to entertain the residents with happy and friendly staff
to aid them.
Excellent care home.

My husband has been a resident at Tolson Grange for three months now and our family is very happy with his care. The staff are kind and attentive and he is very happy in his new surroundings. We are always made welcome when we visit. There is a good choice of food and he enjoys the frequent supply of
tea and biscuits! Whilst he is not able to do activities by himself the staff make sure he can join in, where possible, with the daily activities and enjoy the visiting entertainers.

Overall the facilities and care are excellent. All the staff are caring and very helpful to all the residents. They have a very difficult job to do with such a diverse type of residents needing different types of care which they manage so well. As for activities, it is difficult for the staff to organise
different things as they are kept busy. Perhaps it might be useful to find out what other care homes organise for their residents such as talking to organised companies who supply visits of different types of animals to care homes.
Reply from Catherine Matthews, Home Manager at Tolson Grange

Thank you for taking the time to review Tolson Grange. We are pleased to hear you rate your overall experience with us as excellent. I will inform the staff of your kind words. We like to do everything we can to provide the best care and environment for our residents. Activities for the residents are an important part of care and something we pride ourselves in doing. This is why we arrange daily activities such as gardening, baking, games, and arts and crafts, and have weekly meetings with the residents, to discuss anything they would like to do. We've recently had a particular visit from an animal handling workshop come in, as well as a college, visit us with their animals, and have even had a visit from some alpacas. We also like to discuss with other care homes in our area, what activities and events they're holding with their residents and loved ones, so we can keep up to date. But, if you have any activities or recommendations in mind, that you think will benefit our residents, my door is always open.

My mum has been in Tolson for over a year now and I’m really pleased with how she has improved with her general health and mobility. The care team are always around if there is anything to discuss, the food is excellent, plenty of variety. The manager and her admin staff are always on hand to help with
any information or paperwork I’m stuck with. Always with a smile. The entertainment is fabulous and lots of activities for anyone who wishes. The room is kept lovely and clean by the domestic staff.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.790)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.790) out of 10 for Tolson Grange 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 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 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 4.790 for Tolson Grange is calculated as follows: ( (251 Excellents x 5) + (45 Goods x 4) + (8 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 305 Ratings = 4.79
  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 Tolson Grange is based on 25 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 42 registered maximum number of service users is 8.4, which has been reached with 25 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.
