  • The Granby, Harrogate
The Granby offers elegance and style and is a place in which residents feel pampered and cared for. The home provides residential, nursing, and respite care.

The Granby has undergone a full refurbishment, the modernised home includes a welcoming reception area, lounge and bar area and stunning dining room. All rooms have been tastefully redecorated in a number of elegant themes. In addition to this, the home also has a café, wellbeing suite and a luxurious cinema that residents can enjoy.

The lounge at The Granby is the perfect place to enjoy afternoon tea and socialise as it looks out across the famous common, The Stray.

There is a superb collection of reading material including books, magazines and papers in the decadent library; now called Lord Byron’s library as this is where the famous bard wrote some of his literary works.

Residents can be treated to a new hairstyle in the hairdressing salon or even relaxing aromatherapy or reflexology sessions in the privacy of their own rooms.

There are attractive grounds in which to relax or take gentle exercise. For the more adventurous there is a seven-seater minibus equipped for wheelchair access which means residents can enjoy excursions both into Harrogate town centre and further afield. A range of recreational activities take place in the beautifully restored and original Crystal Ballroom.

The standard of accommodation and care afforded at The Granby is second to none, with every resident being actively encouraged to retain their independence in order that they lead as full a life as possible.

At first I didn't want to be in a care home. I tried everything to go home but after time I settled in and made loads of new friends which are amazing and are who have helped me to be able to go home safely today.
I am going to miss everyone, the time has been great and all the activities and trips
out to my favourite places, pubs and bowling was a highlight.
Thank you Granby so much.

Harrogate is a beautiful place. The Granby is surrounded by beauty all year round. Sitting out in the front garden during summer with the activities team and friends, having ice cream. My room is lovely. Everyone is caring and always happy and brighten my day. I have made new friends who I now see every
day, and we enjoy dominoes and relaxing in the lounges.

Thank you so much for the party in the ballroom. One of my family came all the way from Sheffield to join me for lunch then another friend came to see the magic show, he was a very clever man, good at his job. Then a lovely pony came. The staff all worked very hard to give us all a lovely Halloween
day - was one to remember. Thank you.

I found The Granby staff all excellent and cannot find any fault with any of the staff from management to the laundry staff. I would also like to thank all the carers that looked after my wife while in your care for the last 15 months. They could not have given her more care as I know how stubborn my
wife was. They gave her good care. Thank you all for everything.

Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
This is probably the only genuine review from a resident.
Where do I begin? Drinks get stolen by staff, and things go missing from the room. Beds not made properly, rooms not cleaned for days, no respect for your wishes of privacy. Overreach by management into your personal affairs, waiting 30 to 55
minutes for bell to get answered on average, staff not able to make a blended meal for peg users. Incompetency at every level.

A lovely home. Everywhere is decorated beautifully. Very welcoming and all of the staff are extremely helpful and kind. You are always made welcome when you visit. There are plenty of activities that the residents can do if they want to and regular visits from schools and different entertainers.
If you have any worries about your relative they always take it seriously and look into it. I’m also impressed with the number of drinks they are encouraged to have as I know how important it is to keep elderly people hydrated. There are lovely outdoor spaces when the weather is good and I'm impressed with the effort the staff put into taking out residents to the shop or just have a fun trip out.
It has taken a huge weight off my mind knowing that my dad is cared for and my visits to see him are now about enjoying his company.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.774)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.774) out of 10 for The Granby 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 18 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 17 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 4.774 for The Granby is calculated as follows: ( (197 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 212 Ratings = 4.774
  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 The Granby is based on 17 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 82 registered maximum number of service users is 16.4, which has been reached with 17 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.
