Grange Lea Care Home

Many of the staff have worked there for years and take great pride in their job. This shows in the care the residents receive on a daily basis.

My mother has been in Grange Lea Care Home since autumn 2019 as she was unable to take care of herself at home. We had experience of this lovely place in the mid to late 1990s as my nana lived there for some years. Residents are extremely well cared for and we have great confidence in the way the home is managed and how well the staff look after our mam. There are monthly calendars of activities which are shared with families and regular resident update meetings. They encourage us to give feedback whether positive or negative as they are committed to offering the best possible care. The staff are all passionate about supporting the residents and are all friendly and treat them extremely well. Mam's quality of life is better in Grange Lea as the care and support are 24/7, she is treated with respect and that makes such a difference to the family. Thank you for continuing to support us, we couldn't wish for anything better.

Having recently experienced other care facilities in the area, in our opinion, there is no comparison and we cannot recommend Grange Lea highly enough. We are very happy that Mum is living there and have great peace of mind in the knowledge that she is safe and well cared for.

To summarise. Grange Lea is a first-class care home. Not flashy or pretentious. Home from home is exactly what it is.

I would certainly recommend this care home to anyone.

We chose Grange Lea as it is a small family-run home with an excellent reputation in the area and so far it has lived up to expectations. I feel confident my mother is receiving a high standard of care and attention.

I would highly recommend Grange Lea to anyone.

I can thoroughly recommend Grange Lea.

I have enjoyed my week's respite care at Grange Lea Care Home, I was well looked after as I received 24/7 care from trained staff and all aspects of my care were catered for by personal care. All the staff and management have been lovely. I had lovely views of the fields and sheep from my room, activities were provided daily and I enjoyed the bus trip. The food has been lovely, home-cooked and nutritious - they also catered for my allergies.

All the staff were excellent helpful and caring, they helped with personal care and anything else that was needed. All in all a very nice stay.

My mother was 94 when she went into Grange Lea. She spent from December 2019 until February 2021 at the home. She died in hospital in mid-February.

Mum's room was pleasant and comfortable with a view over the fields. Mum had left her 96-year-old husband and often missed him. The staff were very understanding about this. He managed to visit her a couple of times before Covid restrictions came into place. At this time, we were able to have window visits, which were frustrating but necessary in order to keep everyone safe.

Management was very good and always willing to talk over a problem. The carers were a nice group of people, doing a good job in what became very difficult circumstances as the year progressed.

My mother stayed at Grange Lea for Respite Care for a period of two weeks. Mum was very well looked after and enjoyed meeting both residents and staff. Mum was given a beautifully redecorated downstairs room which she was able to make homely with a few items she brought with her. In the first week, Mum was able to enjoy all the activities Grange Lea had on offer, but sadly at the outbreak of coronavirus (Covid-19), the home went into lock down to enable the residents to stay safe and well. The staff throughout Mum’s visit were very caring and nothing was too much trouble for them. As the lock down occurred, the Assistant Manager offered Mum the use of his phone so that family members could video call Mum to give her reassurance that all was well. We, as a family would highly recommend Grange Lea to anyone thinking about a possible stay at a care home and Mum hopes to be able to visit again sometime in the near future. Thank you very much to everyone at Grange Lea.

The carers are all so caring and kind - I couldn't wish for anything more from them.

Grange Lea is, without doubt, a wonderful Care home. My mother has been living there since January 2019 and is happy in the homely comfortable environment, where she is treated with respect, enjoys tasty nutritious meals and the varied programme of entertainment and activities. More important is the quality of care that she receives from the dedicated staff - It is exceptional! Staff turnover is very low and most staff have been there for many years. With a maximum of 18 residents, the staff know the residents so well, their needs are met and nothing is too much trouble. My mother says that she wouldn’t get better care anywhere, and I agree. I have no hesitation in recommending Grange Lea.

Grange Lea Care Home is extremely well run with every care taken to make the residents feel comfortable and happy. On entering the Home there is a warmth and friendliness which greets you and it is light and airy with lots of delightfully added new furnishings. The staff are both friendly and professional and it is a pleasure to visit as a volunteer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Grange Lea Care Home.

A first-rate place to come for recuperation and care. The care staff have been excellent and I will miss them when I go home. My stay here has been a really pleasurable experience, I have been very happy here and have felt secure. I would definitely recommend to anyone who requires respite or permanent residential care.

We were served afternoon tea on china cups and the home has a nice homely atmosphere.

Placing a relative into care is not an easy process. My mum was able to make this decision herself in August 2017. At the time, Grange Lea was a family run care home, well established within the village. We, as a family, were happy with the level of care there. In March 2019 the home was sold and is now under new management. It has been very pleasing to note, not only the continuity of care but also the enhancement to standards and professionalism. The new owners/frontline team clearly have a vision, based on their previous experience within the sector and are in the process of modernising the home, giving it a more contemporary feel, introducing new activities for residents and supporting community links. An established and caring team of staff have been retained and are unfailingly supportive in their care of the residents. It has been pleasing to note the ongoing development of Grange Lea and I feel confident that my mother's care is in safe hands.

My mum has been a resident at Grange Lea for 3years. She is very happy here. It is homely and cosy as well as being recently modernised and decorated. There are only 18 resident rooms so carers and residents know each other well. Staff turnover is virtually nil. I consider them all as friends. There is a good range of activities. E.g. crafts, visiting nursery children, singers, pets as therapy greyhounds, talks on local history and outings to the coast. Residents are encouraged to have meals in the dining room together but can be served in their own room if required. I have joined my mum for lunch a few times and the food is very tasty, wholesome and nicely served by the staff.
