  • 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.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
From my initial phone call from The Granby for my Mum's pre-admission assessment at the end of September, the staff have offered personal care in a relaxed, unrushed manner. Nothing is too much trouble. All the staff have been kind and considerate while being clear about expectations, current regulations
and guidelines. Including, but not solely about COVID-19 regulations and guidelines. My Mum often said, "I feel like royalty here."
During her initial 14 days of isolation, due to COVID guidelines, the manager and staff were very understanding and obliging, encouraging daily phone calls for updates and helping Mum to charge and use her own mobile phone to keep in contact. Under the extreme pressures that COVID has brought to care homes across the UK, The Granby staff have remained calm and caring, showing kindness in everything they do and say.
A highlight for my Mum was being able to dress up and watch her grandson's wedding on her computer tablet, facilitated by care staff at The Granby.

The level of care and kindness shown to my Nan has been exceptional. The home has kept the residents safe through these very difficult times. The Manager has done an amazing job and this can be seen in the results. The activity team have kept my Nan happy and share many photos which we all love as a
family. I can not thank the staff enough for all they have done and are doing.

Review from David M (Son of Resident) published on 2 September 2020 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum arrived at Granby in December 2019. She was recovering from a hip operation and had, over the previous 6 months, experienced some isolation and disorientation. As a family, we visited her at home 2-3 times a week. However, these visits were not enough to create a happy home environment for her.
Despite initial misgivings about her moving to a care home from both her and us, Granby has been the best decision we could have made for her. The staff and management are first class, the facilities excellent and the team who engage with the residents to keep them occupied and entertained could not work harder. My Mum has gone from a frail old lady to an active engaged resident with a happy future ahead of her. Throughout the threat of the pandemic, The Granby has remained strong and resilient in their care of the residents. It has been heartbreaking not to have seen my Mum face to face for 6 months, but we have stayed in touch thanks to technology. Mum is safe and well. Thanks, Granby team.

Review from O M (Respite Resident) published on 19 August 2020 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
We booked and paid for 2 weeks' respite care in The Granby but left after 5 days. We had to stay in our room from 11.30 Monday, July 6th to Thursday, July 9th at about 3 pm to confirm that we were COVID free - rather a tedious ordeal. We expected to be able to use the garden but this didn't seem possible.
On arrival, we were welcomed to a drink of coffee but surprised to find there was no decaff available. Also, a request for tonic water on Saturday evening (taken daily at home for cramps) was unavailable. I'm sure that if we had been permanent residents we would have solved these issues as all the staff were very helpful, but overall we were very disappointed with our stay.

My mother has lived at The Granby for a number of years and the standard of her personal care has generally been high, and always delivered with cheer and kindness. The care team have excelled themselves over the past four months during the pandemic keeping all the residents safe and secure and providing
the extra company and comfort needed in the absence of their loved ones.

I can only say how reassuring it is to know that our Mum is being cared for so well, especially in the present circumstances, the staff really care and it shows, nothing is too much trouble for them. The activities are great, Mum loved the recent Hawaiian garden party. Thanks to the lady who organised
our Zoom call. I really can't thank all of the staff enough for all their patience and hard work, which is carried out with love and understanding.

After some hospital treatment, I came here for respite care. I found peace in the quiet and sunny aspect of my top floor bedroom with its wonderful view over Harrogate's Stray. Days later I was encouraged to have meals in the beautiful 'Willow' dining room, fully lit by chandeliers and decorated in
chinoiserie style. I enjoyed the vegetarian food provided. Not having to think about planning meals, their preparation and cleaning up afterwards was a great relief. Likewise, to have laundry taken away, washed and returned, sometimes within hours, was appreciated. The several interlocking lounges were all comfortable for relaxing in and tastefully decorated. The staff were flexible and happy to please and the interest groups were just starting up again with enthusiasm.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Whilst my mother was resident at The Granby, she was fortunate to have a beautifully appointed room facing a long stretch of a public park. It made an easy transition for her from independent living to being cared for. The transition was also assisted by the wonderful facilities and catering The Granby
offers, in such a beautiful environment. A home from home. As importantly, the kindness and care of staff and the overall friendliness shown to her made my siblings and I realise that we had made the right decision in moving her there. Never an easy decision for anyone. My wife and children referred to The Granby as Granny's hotel (much to my mother's amusement!). It was so lovely to visit her there.

We are so appreciative as, despite the current situation, special arrangements have been put in place by staff to allow us to see and speak to a family member within the care home via video chat to family members. These arrangements are set up through the kindness of staff. This says everything about
the home and, I feel, the individual care given to each resident. Thank you.

My mum has been at The Granby for nearly eight years and is extremely happy there.

A big thumbs up to all the staff at The Granby who do such a great job in sometimes very difficult circumstances! My dad is treated with such kindness and care, and nothing is too much trouble for them! It's great to see the relationship they have built with him and its lovely to have a chat and an

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.795)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.795) 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 20 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.795 for The Granby is calculated as follows: ( (219 Excellents x 5) + (4 Goods x 4) + (11 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 234 Ratings = 4.795
  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 19 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 19 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.
