  • 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.

Review from Ashley G (Son of Resident) published on 16 May 2016 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my fathers first ever visit I found not only my father was, and still is, treated with utmost respect, nothing seemed too much trouble. The rooms are spotlessly clean and all facilities that could be required. Bathrooms immaculate and with all help aids available. On to the restaurant....what
can I say!! French chefs! Formidable, always a very varied menu and good quality too. Entertainment in The Granby appeared to be of interest and always something to do. For any potential residents of The Granby I would rate it's hospitality, staff, rooms, food, grounds, upkeep, all very highly and I know my father is happy here and being well looked after.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
The Granby is a warm, friendly and welcoming home where nothing seems to be too much trouble for any of the staff. The staff are patient, tolerant and very caring. My aunt is sometimes a very difficult person to deal with and they give a great deal of time to her when specially needed. The food is good,
an important feature. The residents all look small and well cared for. They are happy and smiling- for those that can - which is noticeable to visitors.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I am now at the age of 97 so when my daughter and my son-in-law go on holiday they like me to come here knowing that I shall be ok and well looked after. Everyone is very happy here and so we are very happy too. This is a lovely home with loving care and can be recommended to anyone. Most windows looked
out to trees and lawns and I can watch the birds and rabbits and also cars arriving with visitors which is always interesting. The staff are good and happy to help you with your needs. All goes well.

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.
