Dad has been in the home since June '17. He has been treated very well and the staff are excellent. They are very good at dealing with his needs and has been a lot healthier and cleaner than he has been for a long while. The one concern I have is the cost of the care. The amount that dad is paid every
month by self-funding residents is more than you would pay for a luxury hotel.

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

Thank you for the lovely compliment which I will share with the team. Regarding the concerns over the fees, this is a true reflection of care costs which include 24-hour nursing and care costs as well as laundry, meals and overhead costs. Please feel free to discuss with me at any time.

My sister came to Capwell Grange Care Home in the last part of 2012. We requested certain personal issues (shower twice a week and care by female staff only).


The staff at the home are extremely considerate and compassionate and make it very easy for the residents and their families to feel comfortable.

It is a good place. Our family is very satisfied with the general ambience. We would recommend it without any qualms.

The staff are kind, friendly and always helpful. I find the staff are always willing to help with any problems which occur eg. accompanying my mother to hospital, calling the doctor whenever necessary, letting me know if she has any problems.

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.
