Review from A J (Daughter of Resident) published on 19 September 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Since my mother has been a resident at The Grove she has settled very well is very happy. She enjoys the interaction with the staff, who are extremely kind and thoughtful to her. She enjoys the chair exercises, the highlight of the week is having her hair done and much appreciates being able to have
a bath, something she was unable to have at home. From a visitors point of view the management and staff are always welcoming and accommodating.

The care & support that The Grove has given my sister absolutely outstanding. The food is home made with a choice at each meal times.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I have been delighted with the care that my mother has received at The Grove since she moved in August 2023. She was reluctant to leave her home but soon settled, helped by the fact that the building is very comfortable and homely, she thoroughly enjoys the food and the respectful care and attention
she receives from all the staff. I would have been more pleased if her room had an en-suite toilet but this does not bother my mother at all. She loves her nice room, I appreciate the information the staff are willing to share with me regarding my mother.

Nothing but praise for The Grove. Right from our first visit, we were made welcome, and were provided with all the information to make a decision. The staff were very helpful and obviously caring. Since my aunt has been in The Grove, there have been a few health issues, and these have been dealt with
by the correct health professionals in a timely manner. My life is so much less stressful, knowing she is well cared for and happy.

I cannot fault the care and consideration that all the staff give to my mother. It’s been nearly a year since she moved in and as I live so far away, I can go to sleep each night knowing she is safe and well looked after. The manager runs the home professionally and with care. Special mention to the
male members of staff, who show her the utmost respect in the care they give her.

My mam has been a resident in The Grove for almost four years. The care, kindness and support shown to her by all members of staff is second to none, also the support that is provided to us as a family. As a family, our experience is very positive.

The Grove Care Home is a lovely home for its residents. The staff are very caring and attentive. The residents themselves are always very well-presented and are calm and happy. The food is well received and there is plenty of variety. Excellent individual attention is given to the residents and there
are varied activities to stimulate them.

I have always had a warm welcome when I visit The Grove Care Home. The staff are kind and caring, from the management to the day-to-day carers. The residents are treated respectfully and with dignity. I have been present when activities have been organised for the residents to stimulate them and for
their enjoyment. I would like to thank all the staff for their hard work and their support.

The Grove provides a home-from-home atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The difference I can see in my mother-in-law is massive, even though she has been here a short time, she is very content and says there is nothing she doesn't like. I never feel bad leaving her after a visit.
Thanks.

What a beautiful place! My mum loves it there if anyone needs a home from home it's The Grove. My mother has been there for around 8 weeks and has settled in really well. It's not just the homely feel of the place, it's the warmness of all the staff who show tender, loving care to all the residents
and we all like some TLC don't we? A big big thank you to all the staff from myself, my mum and my sister for your devotion to service. It couldn't be better. Thank you all.

My dad had respite at The Grove for a week. This is his 5th time this year and he enjoys every time. All the staff are so lovely with dad and nothing is too much trouble for them. They give us such a friendly welcome too as his family. It allows me too as daddy's carer to have a rest and know he's being
looked after with loving care. Thank you so much to every one of the staff from the daughter.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.908)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.908) out of 10 for The Grove Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 10 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 10 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 4.908 for The Grove Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (110 Excellents x 5) + (9 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 120 Ratings = 4.908
  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 The Grove Care Home is based on 10 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 30 registered maximum number of service users is 6, which has been reached with 10 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.
