When my mam came into this home she was not doing anything apart from sleeping and waiting for her carers which although were good but 1/4 hour call 4 times a day left her lonely. Mam now loves where she is, participates in all activities and is really happy thanks to all the friendly staff were nothing
is too much bother. Thank you all x

My grandad moved into Elwick Grange in March 2025. He loves it and settled in very well. All staff are brilliant, and very caring and approachable. He enjoys all activities, especially singing/sing songs. The food is excellent too. He takes part in all activities and loves them all. He is never lonely
as he has lots of new friends.

My father moved into Elwick Grange in March. He has been made to feel at home and has had very good care. The activities are excellent especially singing which he enjoys.
The VE day party was really well organised. I feel that the staff enjoy their job and this reflects in the care given.

Elwick Grange made sure that residents and visitors were kept up to date with anything and everything that would be going on for the lead up to Christmas. Mam and myself felt personally included and very much a big part in mam's daily life which the fantastic team have always made me feel.

My mother has been in Elwick Grange for over a year. The decision to place my mother in a care home was a very difficult one. However, Elwick Grange, the staff, quality of care and the whole environment are excellent. Well done Elwick Grange.

My mam came for respite in August this year and luckily was able to secure a permanent room. She is well care for at this home, it's warm, the staff are friendly and approachable and I feel my mam is happy here. A particular mention to the girls who entertain the residents, who do their best to stimulate
their brains. Also to two staff members in particular who she really feels comfortable with, thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.832)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.832) out of 10 for Elwick Grange 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.832 for Elwick Grange is calculated as follows: ( (423 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 500 Ratings = 4.832
  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 Elwick Grange is based on 42 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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12, which has been reached with 42 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.

Job Title: Home Manager

I’ve worked for Care UK for 15 years now. I’d been working in retail, but a family member worked here at the time and told me how good the home was, from the management down, and how well the team got to know residents and their families. It sounded like a place I wanted to be a part of.


I started as a domestic assistant and have worked my way up the ranks, doing all the training I could, including Care UK’s special training aimed at home managers of the future. It took confidence to put myself forward to be the Home Manager, but I’m so happy I did because I absolutely love my job.


My walkarounds are some of my favourite times of the day when I get to speak to residents and families. We have a brilliant team at Elwick Grange and the best thing about working here is being able to play a part in providing quality care to residents and enabling them to live happy, fulfilling lives.


Any spare time I have I like to spend with my husband, family and friends. I enjoy travelling to new places for days out or weekends away. I also enjoy reading, and I do try to keep fit.
