Overall the experience visiting Grangewood everyday to see my husband over 4 1/2 yrs has been one of the staff being kind caring helping in situations of concern and anxious times. There have been many. Without management and staff carers domestics senior staff and admin life would be very difficult. The easy conversations the fun and activities are a welcomed break from the tough days when a loved one is unwell. They care for residents and family and friends are always welcomed to Grangewood. The food is good to excellent staff carers work very hard to achieve team work.
I was welcomed into Gragewood when visiting a friend. They had an event in December which was free entertainment and food for all the community. All staff are amazing and I'm always made welcome credit where credit it due.

Although mum passed away over a year ago, I still visit Grangewood once or twice a week. The manager and all her staff do a fantastic job. They make you feel welcome and they are good hard workers and make you feel at home as well.

My mother joined Grangewood in June 2024. She was made to feel very welcome and soon settled into the 'Grangewood community'. The level of care she receives is excellent, carers are always pleasant, caring and very professional. This leads to very high standards. There is a wide range of activities to meet each resident's needs both inhouse and in the wider area. The home is always clean and tidy and well kept and presented. Standards are very high and Mam very happy.
All the staff care for the residents with respect. They are all "good fun". They have lovely entertainment and everyone joins in. The home is always spotless and clothes beautifully laundered. I am glad we found this home to care for mam when we were no longer able.

We cannot praise the team at Grangewood enough for the care and dedication they have shown our mam. After a long stay in hospital, the communication from the team was excellent, ensuring a smooth and well planned return home. The deputy manager provided invaluable preemptive suggestions for Mam's care, reassuring us that with the support of the community nurses her needs would be met safely, comfortably and with dignity. The love, warmth and care shown on her return were truly heartwarming - Grangewood really is HOME to her. Her room was immaculate ready for her return. One lady visited Mam in hospital which proved how this amazing team go above and beyond. Thank you all.

Choosing care is one of life's most stressful experiences, but we were very blessed to find Grangewood! Aunty went to live there after a lengthy spell in hospital, and the fact we had her for so long was down to the outstanding care she received in a home filled with friendship, smiles and laughter. All staff, irrespective of their role, were friendly, supportive and dedicated and nothing was too much trouble and minor niggles were quickly/professionally addressed. The environment is bright/welcoming, but the warmth, welcome and quality of care are at the forefront. A varied range of activities are on offer and staff strive to include residents according to their health situation. They take time to chat and every effort is made to include families in all aspects of their loved one's care/ life in the home itself. The words may be small, but the sentiment really is huge -thank you for making Aunty's final months the best they could possibly be; yours is a true vocation!
