Visiting

  • Grimston Court very much welcomes socialisation for residents, especially visits and trips out with their friends and relatives to support their overall wellbeing. Therefore, the home operates on an open-door policy meaning visitors can come along to the home and are welcomed in at any time of the day. Ideally, visits should be pre-booked to allow the care team to inform the resident and prepare for their visit. There are no current limits to the number of guests who can come and visit a resident, however risk assessments are in place for safety and infection control measures, if the home overall exceeds a certain capacity of guests. Please note in the case of an emergency or if a resident declines a visit, the home may ask you to reschedule.

Parking

  • Grimston Court has on-site parking.

Review from Catherine D (Daughter of Resident) published on 12 April 2022 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum stayed at this lovely care home for around 4 months. My brother and I were so impressed with the care and attention she received whilst there. My mum really enjoyed her time there - she really loved the staff, she told us all often enough. Unfortunately, my mum had to stay in a few different
care homes and this was the best one by miles. Whenever we telephoned we were always impressed with all the staff. They were very knowledgeable with what was going on with my mum and you could tell they really cared. My mum had a really lovely room and the grounds are so beautiful. Thank you to all the staff at Grimston Court, you really should be recognised for your brilliant work ethic and care towards the elderly.
Reply from Wellburn Care Homes, Marketing Co-ordinator at Grimston Court

Thank you for the kind words, it's wonderful to hear that your mum enjoyed her time with us - we loved having her! We will pass on your lovely message to the rest of the team, it's always very encouraging when someone has good things to say not only about the home itself but also about appreciating the staff's hard work.

My father was at Grimston Court for 4 years. He was very contented there and became extremely fond of the staff. The carers were wonderful and always compassionate. They were fantastic throughout the pandemic and it was so reassuring for the family to know that my father was being so well cared for
during that time.

We are very grateful for the care Mum has received over the last five years. It was traumatic for her to have to move to residential care with dementia, but she has been in very good hands and has been consistently helped to make her home here. The staff are kind and reliably thoughtful. Thank you.

My aunt has been in Grimston Court for over six years. She has excellent care during this time and speaks very well of all the staff and appreciates their care. She is always clean and her room is kept clean and fresh. She is unable to join in with the activities now as she is bedridden but all the
staff are kind and patient with her and she tells me the food is very good.

It's always a pleasure to visit my grandma at Grimston Court. The staff are always friendly and helpful, and the facilities are always clean and pleasant.

Mum entered the home on the first day of lockdown, so her possessions were left on the home doorstep. When I was able to go and peep through the window, I was delighted to see her photos on the wall and her ornaments displayed with the same care I would have done.

Couldn't be happier, staff are caring and compassionate at all times. Both parents have stayed a number of years over time. It is just Dad there now and the staff know his needs and moods and are good at keeping me and Mum in the loop. I wouldn't want Dad to be anywhere else. I can see that he is happy
and relaxed in their company which is a great relief to the family.

Always helpful and friendly.
Mum seems happy and well looked after.
Visiting pod sited too far away from the main building, which makes visiting difficult in cold/wet weather as Mum has to be taken outside.
All Mum's needs met.

Review from David S (Power of Attorney of Resident) published on 29 March 2021 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The elderly lady for whom I am an attorney for, has lived at Grimston Court for over 6 years. She and the other residents have been kept safe over the most difficult 12 months for everyone concerned, much to the credit of the home’s staff and leadership from the Group’s Directors. Whilst visiting has
not been without its’ challenges, the recent relaxation gave me the opportunity to meet with her in the conservatory that was much better. She was well and in good spirits. I was encouraged to see many of the members of staff that I knew from pre-Covid days working well and enthusiastically as ever. I do think a settled team is a happy team that is beneficial for all stakeholders. Keep up the good work.

Both my parents have dementia and have been residents for 2 years at Grimston Court. All the carers are very friendly and hard-working. The home puts on lots of activities which they share updates and photos on their social media page which is nice for me and my family to see. There is a Pod available
which has made visiting possible through the difficult times this last year. Thank you all.

Firstly what a beautiful setting at Grimston Court, even though it is on the main road, the house is set back in tranquil gardens, and sometimes proud peacocks if you are lucky to see them. There is a large conservatory, a TV room, a dining room which is set out like a tea room and does not feel like
a nursing home at all, and of course the main room where there are seats for all and a piano. The rooms are well equipped for the need of my mother. All the staff are so welcoming and helpful, always keeping us updated on my mother, should the need arise. I now WhatsApp video which is easy and quick to book in by sending an email. All the staff work extremely hard and are so lovely, I am pleased we picked Grimston Court for my mother. The food looks and smells delicious and even menus on the tables... Well done to all. Thank you seems too humble for what you do...

Always a warm welcome from everyone at Grimston Court. There is a calm atmosphere as soon as you enter this magnificent building and the team are caring and attentive. Even though I'm over 100 miles away, I know that my Mum is content, happy and safe as, not only do I get regular updates, the team are
very proactive in keeping their Facebook page full of all the events, entertainment and activities they get up to with the residents. This is the right place for her and I know she is getting the care she needs.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.521)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.521) out of 10 for Grimston Court is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 12 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 11 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 4.521 for Grimston Court is calculated as follows: ( (88 Excellents x 5) + (37 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 140 Ratings = 4.521
  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 Grimston Court is based on 11 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 47 registered maximum number of service users is 9.4, which has been reached with 11 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.
