Solent Grange

My father has recently moved to Solent Grange and I must say the standard of care there is top class! He was not keen to be there initially (who is!?) but has quickly realised that the staff and facilities are definitely making his life much easier, and it’s so much better than the last place he stayed, he’s now happy to be there, great food, great caring staff and top facilities, thank you Solent Grange for making my life and my father's easier, it’s such a hard time for all but you guys have helped so much.

Solent Grange is a modern, clean and welcoming place. My mother was well looked after during her three-plus months stay here and was treated with dignity and respect throughout. When she died, I was overwhelmed by the kindness and thought shown by the staff. My only negative comment would be that it was not always easy to find nursing or care staff if I needed to ask a question or discuss something, both in person or on the phone, because they are all extremely busy and work hard to give patients the best care.

I am very happy with the care being provided for my dad. All staff I have had contact with are very professional and treat my dad with dignity and respect. His room is clean and tidy, the food is well prepared and the general atmosphere is always friendly. Thank you.

I am very happy for my mother to be living in Solent Grange. It is an excellent home in every sense. The reception staff and admin are always very welcoming. The manager is available to talk to relatives and is very approachable. All staff have been and continue to be most polite and friendly. When entering the house it's rather more like a hotel atmosphere than a care home. Everyone is clean, tidy, bright and airy. My mother has mobility issues and requires extra help at times and I know they understand and support her with her limitations in this regard. So kind!

My grandfather is a resident here. I cannot fault one bit about this wonderful care home. Every need is met. Not just for my grandad but all the other residents as well. I love seeing pictures of my grandad and he’s always busy. I personally think the weekly music slots are his favourite as all the residents are having a sing-along.

My mother has been a resident here for almost eighteen months. I would never contemplate moving her anywhere else. The care staff are amazing and the activities are second to none. In fact I couldn't keep up! Probably out of the question but a minibus would be the icing on the cake.

Considerations are given for all ages and abilities.

I feel that my sister is in the right place, which is safe, clean and secure, with the right care at hand within the facilities, for her changing condition.

I wouldn’t want my mother to be anywhere else now!

My nan has been with the home now for a few years. When she entered, she was not given long to live. Now in the care home, she is thriving and will probably outlive us all. I am very grateful for the care she has received. The staff are lovely and respond to queries quickly. My nan seems happy.

The care provided for my wife is absolutely first-class. Also, the support given to myself when suffering from extreme stress/fatigue was caring and kind, enabling me to continue to support my wife and calm her fears and worries.

Mum went from the hospital to Solent Grange at our request, as we had visited previously and were impressed! Very well run and very caring staff. She was bed-bound and asleep most of the time, but various staff checked on her regularly throughout. They were all very kind and caring. Unfortunately, Mum passed away fairly soon but had she remained there long-term, we felt confident letting her in their care.

My aunt has been at Solent Grange for nearly 4 years. Her care has considerably improved since the arrival of the manager. My aunt is happy at the home and from what I have seen staff are very caring. The chef's food is restaurant quality. Sunday was my aunt's 90th birthday and the staff pulled out all the stops for a great party including residents, family and friends. We paid no extra for the food and drink and again, the food provided was excellent. I would recommend Solent Grange as a place where you can feel comfortable that your relative or friend will be well cared for and happy.

It was my birthday on the 18th of November, Solent Grange Care Home gave me and my fellow residents a day to remember, excellent food, entertainment for all and I can't thank the manager and the kitchen staff and carers enough! The day was tied in with children in need and my family enjoyed sharing this day with me.

My aunt has been a resident at Solent Grange since November 2021. She has received outstanding care and support. She has not engaged in activities, but we see what is going on with other residents. The staff are attentive, responsive and very caring. I will recommend Solent Grange to anyone looking for residential care.

Staff are always friendly, and the home is well run.

My dad has been a resident here for just over a year. I have had several issues with Dad's appearance not being as he would’ve liked as he has looked quite dishevelled and his room not being kept nicely. His clothes although laundered are not ironed and often go missing. I realize with dementia he can not always help himself re his room as he often moves things around but I have monitored his room for some time and it is evident that it isn’t kept together regularly as I would like etc. He spends a great deal of his waking time in the day room sat in front of a television and the whole point of our decision to put Dad into a care home was that when we looked after him he needed more stimulation than we could provide but I don’t feel he is getting that at Solent Grange. He is self-funding and pays a lot for his care but I don’t think he gets as good a care as he deserves and pays for. They always add extras on to the monthly bill for toenail cutting, etc when this should be part of the care.

My aunt was transferred from hospital for palliative care. Right from the beginning, the reception staff and manager were welcoming, and nothing was too much trouble. The care my aunt received was so lovely. All the nurses and staff were happy, kind, helpful, professional and there for me as much as Aunty. Her passing was peaceful with staff helping us throughout the gradual decline. It is first and foremost a home for the resident, not just a place of work for staff. Made some lovely bonds with all at Solent Grange.

My aunty was cared for beautifully. All staff were polite and friendly to myself and my sister at all times. My aunt was made to feel comfortable and reassured; the staff always addressed her by name and let her know what they were in her room. An exceptional team and a great care home.

I apologise for not writing a review sooner, only the loss of my mum and brother badly affected me, and I wanted to do justice to the lovely nursing home. My mum was sent to Solent Grange from the hospital. I had a call from one lady when my mum had arrived. Mum loved her bedroom and settled very quickly. The care and love of the staff toward Mum was exceptional. Mum loved all the staff. Her dementia and health deteriorated, but Mum couldn't have had better care. Mum treated all the staff with love, and she treated them as her family. Her end of life care was amazing, and she was treated with so much love and dignity. Thank you all so much.
