Whorlton Grange is an attractive building set in well-maintained grounds with well-appointed, clean, fresh, ensuite rooms. It has the feel of a hotel rather than a care home. The food is good and the menu varied, however, the staff willingly accommodate my mother's rather eccentric requests. Indeed it is the staff that make Whorlton Grange special. My mother is not the easiest character to manage, but when faced with challenging situations they have, not only supported my mother with their time and understanding, being proactive in finding solutions, but they have been so helpful to me personally. I cannot speak highly enough of them.
Thank you for your lovely feedback for Whorlton Grange. I will pass your comments onto the team.

My aunt has been in Whorlton Grange for nearly a year now. She has settled in well and I am very pleased with the care she receives. All the staff, down from the managers and care workers, domestics and everyone, can't fault them. Thank you all.

Knowing that my mother is happy is everything. One of the managers has always put herself out to chat and I think this makes a difference.

I cannot express enough our gratitude and thanks to the staff at Whorlton Grange. My Dad has been with them for a number of years and during his time with them, they treated him as one of their own family. In his last weeks, the care dedication and love for him was beyond just a job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the team to care for a family member.
Nothing seems to be too much bother, always kept up to date with any issues.

My Mum has settled in very well here at Whorlton Grange. She is happy and content, which is a marked improvement to how she was at home at times. I am confident in the staff and the care they provide for Mum. The home is a warm and safe environment.

Whorlton Grange is a lovely place for my mother. She has dementia and gets lots of attention to keep her happy. When I was there this morning she was very bubbly and singing away to herself. She used to forget to eat at home but now has seconds whenever she wants. There are lots of activities for her and she is taken to places regularly. The staff are very helpful and let me know if she needs anything bringing in.
We can't fault the service and care that has been provided. The staff are wonderful and have made our mother very comfortable.

Very expensive at £725 a week - but all care homes are. All staff have been great with Dad and us in all our dealings.
Food is excellent - he has put on weight.

The atmosphere in the home is calm and friendly. There seems to be a good number of staff on hand whenever we visit and there is a good range of activities for residents to take part in.
The facilities are very good. There is a variety of communal spaces for residents from a bigger, more lively lounge to a quieter space, a garden and a courtyard. The dining room is light and spacious. My mother's own room is very comfortable.
Every time I visit my mother at Whorlton Grange, she is always busy chatting or taking part in some activity. It's such a lovely social atmosphere and the staff are so caring and friendly and very helpful. My mother is now happy and content and I have no worries.
