Thank you so much for everything you do at Earsdon Grange Care Home.
I would like to thank all the staff for their kindness and support in looking after my brother for two weeks respite care so I could attend my son's wedding and other family matters. You have an excellent care manager who has a great
team, well trained and efficient. Thank you again for the hard work you do, it's much appreciated - long may it continue.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This care home is excellent. My mum has settled really well as it is a caring environment and all staff are professional and friendly. My mum is well cared for. I would prefer a few more activities or maybe there are plenty but my mum doesn't join in? The costs are satisfactory but as my mum is self-funded
I consider all care homes to be expensive especially as the council rate is much less. This care home is the best I have seen and their values and ethos are exceptional. I would recommend Earsdon Grange to future residents.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mum was placed in Earsdon Grange Care Home for six weeks of respite. The staff, cleaners, cooks, and receptionists are exceptional. My mum entered saying she was frightened of life, upon leaving she asked if they would keep her room as she was definitely going back as a full-time resident! She is
no longer frightened!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Having never visited a care home until I came in for respite care I am very pleased with the treatment I have received. All the staff have been excellent and do not get the appreciation they deserve. They are excellent with the residents and should be allowed to spend more time with them instead of
doing many other jobs. They should also receive higher wages instead of being on a low one.

My mum has been a resident of Earsdon Grange for a few years. Have nothing to say other than the staff at Earsdon are totally the best. Mum is safe, well, enjoys her surroundings, has her hair done, pampered, the works. Me - well I sleep at night - all well in my mum's world.

This was my first visit to see my mam in 17-months, in fact, able to see her due to geographical residence and Covid-19. I was warmly welcomed by staff, tests carried out with clear instructions and good dialogue between staff and myself. Clean, well presented and friendly.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
Earsdon Grange is a very well run care home. Mother has been a resident for 2 years now, and despite her reluctance to go into a home she has settled well. It has been difficult over the last 14 months with not seeing mam as much as we’d like but the staff have worked very hard to keep me informed about
her care. All the staff I have had contact with have been courteous, pleasant and friendly. Mam is well cared for and at the end of the day it is all we can ask. The home seem to have a very active activities programme which unfortunately my mam has difficulty engaging with, however it is reassuring to see all the photos on Facebook. I’d like to thank all the staff for their hard work and dedication during what must have been a horrendous year. Well done.

The staff are friendly when I phone up. Although there is a lack of mobile phones. Therefore as I am 200 miles away from my Dad I find it very annoying that out of 100 phone calls to Earsdon Grange home I have only been able to talk with my Dad on 10 occasions. I have heard my Dad shouting help three
times. I discussed this matter with a staff member and they said they can not help them all day.

Current Review Score: 9.4 (9.438)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.4 (9.438) out of 10 for Earsdon Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.4 out of 5 from 33 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 32 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 4.438 for Earsdon Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (201 Excellents x 5) + (155 Goods x 4) + (28 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 386 Ratings = 4.438
  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 Earsdon Grange Care Home is based on 32 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 48 registered maximum number of service users is 9.6, which has been reached with 32 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.
