The staff are always amazing but always go the extra mile on celebrations. The fireworks party was enjoyed by everyone and they had lots of interaction which is always good. I think they enjoyed the hot chocolate and marshmallows best!
The Remembrance display was fantastic, I tried to get photos in
the local paper but wasn't successful.
I'd recommend this care home to anyone.

Ever since my mom was placed in the care home, she has had a smile on her face every day. All the staff treat her with respect and dignity. She couldn't have been placed in a better care home because this one is perfect in our opinion.

Since we arrived with short notice we have been welcomed, cared for, and understood.
When upset or just with queries we have been advised, listened to, and supported.
There seem to be lots of activities which we have received photos of and have joined in.

Review from Elaine C (Daughter of Resident) published on 23 August 2023 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother moved in for two weeks of respite care in May. The care and attention prior to her move was excellent. The staff were caring and careful to address all her concerns in a compassionate but clear way. While there, I saw countless acts by staff, which made it clear they loved the residents in
a way far beyond paid-for care. Each was treated as an individual, and their unique needs were being met. Sadly my mother's condition deteriorated - nothing to do with the home - but the staff were quick to alert us and arrange emergency treatment. They spotted her decline quickly and acted brilliantly. I have already recommended this home to others and will continue to do so.

My mam really enjoys all sorts of activities that they do and just recently they held a 'summer festival', which she really enjoyed. Her two sons turned up and spent some quality time with her. It is really a great care home and would recommend to family friends.

My mam has been a resident at Elwick Grange since the 6th of April 2023. As you can imagine it's always a difficult decision to move a loved one into care. I met with the manager of Elwick Grange who is absolutely fantastic and she put my mind at rest as to the level of engagement and care that the
staff would offer. The staff go above and beyond to make my mam comfortable and happy within the surroundings. I am just letting you know the staff offer a fine range of activities to keep residents engaged. Easter was particularly impressive. The care home nurse is dealing with any medical issues that my mam has, liaising with doctors and in turn, communicating this back to the family. In short, I find Elwich Grange excellent!

No longer able to cope at home, my mum moved to Elwick Grange. She was made very welcome by the lovely, caring staff and settled well. Unfortunately, after a week she took ill and end of life care was required. The care and dedication shown to not only my mum, but also my sister and I was incredible.
Nothing was too much trouble to both carers and management. As a family, we will be forever grateful for the support they provided. Simply the best.

After my aunt came to live at Elwick Grange, she was very frail. I had no hesitation in requesting that my man who has vascular dementia also came to live here. Both need different kinds of care but both are so happy and well cared for. It's care that I couldn't give at home. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.840)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.840) 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 44 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 44 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 4.840 for Elwick Grange is calculated as follows: ( (447 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 524 Ratings = 4.84
  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 44 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 44 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.
