Having spent 4 weeks in hospital with life-threatening consequences, I have just spent 2.5 weeks being so well looked after at Capwell Grange, Luton. Without this care, good foo, and attention I could not have made the transition from convalescence to home. I am very grateful. Professional, caring,
and friendly staff at all levels. Thank you!

This is my second stay here, I came a year ago after an attack by a pack of dogs while walking my dog 'Sunny', they killed him, and I was pulled down as well. (Nightmare time). I had to be cut out of my coat, my arm was broken, and my nose and my left eye were impaired. When I got to the hospital my
legs wouldn't work. I came here to Capwell Grange where they were all so kind and caring. Smiles all around me, making me feel good. This time the same reason, my legs. I could recommend Capwell Grange to anyone. The room you are in has everything to make you feel at home. The staff couldn't be more helpful day and night.

The staff were very caring and gentle. I was well looked after leaving the hospital. I expect a review of my operation in 4 weeks and in the meantime will stay with my daughter. It took a couple of days initially to get acquainted with the place but once mobile no problems.

After being here for ten weeks, I have nothing bad to say about my experience. The room is perfect for my needs but could do with being updated. All staff have been amazing, treating me with dignity and respect, encouraging me and celebrating with me when completing physio. I cannot thank each and every
one of you enough. The physio team are excellent and pushed me to each and every goal with great humour and passion for their jobs. Thank you all once again.

My mother appeared to be well cared for by cheerful and helpful people in this clean home. However, following her death a member of staff gave her personal property, including her wedding, engagement and eternity ring, to a 'friend' without our family's permission or knowledge. Beware.

Reply from Clare Sheehan, Careline Advisor at Capwell Grange Care Home

Thank you for your review, we value all feedback as this helps us to improve our service where required. We are pleased you feel your late Mother was well cared for during her stay with us. We are aware of the circumstances surrounding this incident and believe it has now been resolved and the items returned to you. We hope you will accept our apology again for the upset this incident caused.

This has felt like my home, you wouldn't get better staff than what you have in here, for one thing. Secondly, you couldn't get better management! The room is very clean and tidy and I am very comfortable with the decor. The lounge is excellent. It is a place where you can go and stretch your legs,
have your meal or have a cup of tea. I told my sister that I bet it could be even more brilliant in the holidays. Due to my hospital stay, my appetite was gone and I really didn't want to eat but the staff encouraged me and I ended up really loving the food and looking forward to mealtimes. I think the well-being lady does a great job of keeping our minds active with games like dominoes.

My great-aunt was admitted to Capwell Grange in January 2018 as an emergency admission as she was too poorly to take care of herself at home. Over the past 5 years, she has been cared for by the lovely staff, we cannot thank you enough. She had her ups and downs with her health and moods - only to be
expected - but I can honestly say she was treated with care, dignity and respect. She passed away peacefully last week and spending part of the night shift with her in Capwell Grange made me know it was the right home for her. The staff are wonderful. Many thanks.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.626)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.626) out of 10 for Capwell Grange Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 36 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 34 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.626 for Capwell Grange Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (315 Excellents x 5) + (78 Goods x 4) + (15 Satisfactorys x 3) + (6 Poors x 2) + (8 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 422 Ratings = 4.626

  • b) 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 Capwell Grange Care Home is based on 34 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 146 registered maximum number of service users is 29.2, which has been reached with 34 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
